Introduction to Your Treo™ 180g Communicator

This chapter explains the physical buttons and controls on your Treo™ 180g communicator, how to use your communicator for the first time, and how to install Palm™ Desktop software and the HotSync® Manager synchronization software so you can synchronize your communicator and your computer.

Getting to know your communicator

What is a Treo communicator?

Your Treo communicator combines the power of a full-featured mobile phone, e-mail, SMS messaging, a Palm OS® handheld, and the Internet in one compact and indispensable device. With your Treo communicator, you can do everything you can do with your existing mobile phone with greater speed and ease. You can store thousands of numbers in your PhoneBook and up to 50 speed dial entries, and dial any of them with just a few taps on the screen. You can even set up a 3-way conference call by joining two calls and use the personal speakerphone for hands-free use without a headset attachment.

Lighten your load. Everything you need is in one compact device. Your Treo communicator helps you stay in touch. With instant access to your e-mail, you can send and receive e-mail from anywhere, and use SMS messaging to exchange quick messages with other mobile phones on your network. The award-winning Blazer® web browser gives you access to any site on the Internet—not just a few optimized for mobile access; now you can download directions, confirm flight reservations, find a restaurant, and check stock prices wherever you are. Everything you need to stay organized is close at hand on your communicator, including popular Palm OS applications such as Date Book Plus, PhoneBook, To Do List, Memo Pad and more.

To make sure you don't lose any of this important information, you can synchronize your data with desktop software on your computer so you always have a backup copy.

System requirements

To install and operate Palm Desktop software and the HotSync Manager synchronization software, your computer system must meet the following requirements:

Minimum requirements

■ Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP with USB port, (for USB HotSync® cable)
--Or--
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows NT 4.0 with serial port (for serial HotSync cable)
■ 32 MB RAM (memory)
■ 25 MB available hard disk space
■ VGA monitor or better
■ CD-ROM drive (you can also download Palm Desktop software from www.handspring.com)
■ Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher (recommended)

Upgrade information

If you already own a Palm OS handheld, Handspring recommends that you install the version of Palm Desktop software that comes with your Treo communicator into the same folder as your current Palm Desktop software. When you install the new version in the same folder as the previous version, all your data is preserved. If you use another personal information manager (PIM), you still need to install Palm Desktop software in order to update the HotSync Manager on your computer.

You perform HotSync operations in exactly the same way, so you can quickly synchronize your old data with your new communicator.

To upgrade:

1. Synchronize your old communicator with your old Palm Desktop software. This ensures that the latest information from your communicator is on your desktop computer.
2. (Optional) To ensure against any data loss, go to the folder that stores Palm Desktop software (this is usually the Handspring or Palm folder), copy (do not move) your user name folder, and store the copy outside the Palm Desktop software folder.
3. Follow the installation instructions that begin on page 26. Be sure to install the new software in the same folder as the old software.
4. Connect your new communicator to the HotSync cable and press the HotSync button on the cable. If the Select User dialog box appears, select your user name.
5. Compare the applications on your old handheld and your new communicator.
6. Beam any third party applications that did not transfer from your old handheld to your new communicator, or install them from the original files.

Each device must have a unique name

After you complete the upgrade process described above, you have two devices with the same name. This is an undesirable situation. Each device must have a unique name in order to prevent unexpected results during HotSync operations and other complications.

We strongly recommend that you perform a hard reset on your old handheld. See page 213 for details.

A hard reset not only erases all data from the old handheld; it also erases the name and makes that handheld a clean slate, ready to receive a new name. The next time you perform a HotSync operation with this old handheld, you are asked to give it a name. Be sure to give it a unique name.

Treo components

Locating front panel controls

Speaker Functions as the earpiece on your Treo.

Headset jack Enables you to connect a hands-free headset for use with the wireless features. Use only headsets that are compatible with your communicator.

Rocker switch	Enables you to navigate on your communicator with just one hand. You can use the rocker switch as an alternate method to perform a variety of tasks, such as adjusting the call volume level on your phone.

Locating top panel controls

Antenna Receives and sends wireless communication signals. The antenna does not telescope out of your communicator.

Stylus Serves as the writing instrument used to enter data in your communicator. To use the stylus, slide the stylus out of the slot, and hold it as you would a pen or pencil.

Power button

Turns your communicator and wireless mode on and off, and controls the backlight. See page 18 for details.

IR port Uses infrared technology to transmit data to and receive data from other Palm OS devices. See the section that begins on page 79 for details. You can also use the IR port to update the information between your communicator and computer using HotSync technology. See the section that begins on page 198 for details.

Note: Silencing the ringer also turns off allsystem sounds, including alarms. When you silence the ringer, Date Book Plus alarms vibrate.

Locating back panel components

SIM card door Secures your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card in your phone.

Reset button Under normal use, you should not have to use the reset button. See

Appendix A for information about when and how to use the reset button.

Charger and USB/ serial connector

The connector that connects your communicator to the travel charger and HotSync cable. The HotSync cable connects to a USB port or serial port on your computer and enables you to synchronize the information between your communicator and computer using HotSync technology.

Inserting the SIM card

The SIM card is a small rectangular plastic piece that contains your phone number and account information. It is included with your wireless service provider's documentation and is often referred to as a "smartcard." If a SIM card did not come with your communicator, your wireless service provider will provide you with one when you subscribe to their service.

You must insert your SIM card into your communicator before you can use it for wireless communications. Since calls are billed to your phone number, you can, however, move your SIM card to any phone that uses a SIM card, and the calls will be billed to your account.

To insert the SIM card:

1. Remove the SIM door.
2. With the contacts face-up, align the notch on the SIM card with the notch on the door and insert the SIM card into the slot on the door.

1. Replace the SIM door.

Charging the battery

To use your communicator, you must connect the travel charger or the HotSync cable and charge the battery. When you're near your computer, connect your communicator to the HotSync cable with the travel charger connected to a wall outlet as shown in the section that begins on page 23. When travelling, connect the travel charger cable directly to your communicator as shown in this section.

When wireless mode is on, a fully charged battery provides approximately 2.5 hours of talk time or 60 hours of standby time. When wireless mode is off, a fully charged battery provides approximately three weeks of use in handheld mode.

If the battery drains to the point where your communicator does not turn on, it stores your data safely for about three days. Therefore, we recommend that you charge the battery daily to avoid potential data loss. See Appendix A for tips on extending the life of the battery.

To charge the battery with the travel charger:

1. Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.
2. With the word "UP" facing up (as shown), connect the travel charger cable to the charger connector on the bottom of your communicator.

Tip: The LED is solid red while your communicator charges. When the LED turns solid green, your communicator is charged. It takes approximately 90 minutes to charge a fully drained battery.

Turning your Treo on and off

Your Treo communicator has two operating modes: a handheld mode and a wireless mode. You can turn the handheld mode and the wireless mode on and off independent of each other. When you turn on the handheld mode, you can use organizer applications such as Date Book Plus and To Do List. When you turn on the wireless mode, you can make or receive calls. You can also turn both modes on at the same time. When both the handheld and wireless modes are on, you can use the organizer applications as well as send and receive calls.

To turn handheld mode on and off, do any of the following:

■ Open the lid to turn it on, or close the lid to turn it off.
■ Press the power button.
■ Press and release the rocker switch.
■ Press any application button on the front of your communicator.

To turn wireless mode on and off:

- Press and hold the power button until you hear the confirmation tones to turn wireless mode on and off. The ascending tone indicates wireless mode is now on and the descending tone indicates wireless mode is now off.

Using the backlight

If you have difficulty seeing the information on your communicator in dark environments, you can use the backlight to illuminate the images on the screen.

Note: If you have difficulty seeing the screen in well-lit environments, adjust the contrast instead of using the backlight. See page 13 for details.

To turn the backlight on and off:

■ Press the power button twice in quick succession.

Backlight tips:

■ You can assign the full-screen pen stroke to activate the backlight. See page 174 for details.
■ The backlight turns on automatically when an incoming call “wakes up” your communicator.
- The backlight also turns off automatically (after a period of inactivity) with the Auto-off feature. See page 180 for details.

Using the stylus to get things done

Like using a mouse to click elements on a computer screen, using the stylus to tap elements on your communicator screen is the basic action to get things done on your communicator.

The first time you start your communicator, setup instructions appear on the screen. These instructions include a calibration screen, or digitizer. Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of your communicator with its touch-sensitive screen so that when you tap an element on the screen, the communicator can detect exactly which task you want to perform.

Important: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the communicator screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or other sharp object to write on the communicator screen.

With your communicator turned on, you can tap the communicator screen to perform many operations, such as the following:

■ Open applications
■ Choose menu commands
■ Initiate a global Find operation
■ Select options in dialog boxes
■ Open the onscreen keyboards

Just as you can drag the mouse to select text or move objects on your computer, you can also drag the stylus to select text. You can also use the stylus to drag the slider of any scroll bar.

Elements of the communicator interface

Menu bar A set of commands that are specific to the application. Not all applications have a menu bar.

Command buttons Tap a button to perform a command. Command buttons appear in dialog boxes and at the bottom of application screens.

Icons Tap the icons to open applications menus, Calculator, and find text anywhere in your data

abc With the cursor in an input field, tap the "abc" dot to activate the alphabetic keyboard.

123 With the cursor in an input field, tap the "123" dot to activate the numeric keyboard.

Check box When a check mark appears in a check box, the corresponding option is active. If a check box is empty, tapping it inserts a check mark. If a check box is checked, tapping it removes the check mark.

Pick list Tap the arrow to display a list of choices, and then tap an item in the list to select it.

Previous/ Tap the up and down arrows to display the previous and next page of next arrows information; tap the left and right arrows to display the previous and next record.

Scroll bar Drag the slider, or tap the top or bottom arrow, to scroll the display one line at a time. To scroll to the previous page, tap the scroll bar just above the slider. To scroll to the next page, tap the scroll bar just below the slider.

You can also scroll to the previous and next pages by pressing the scroll buttons on the front panel of your communicator.

Moving around the screen

You can move between entry fields, pick lists, check boxes, and other options by using the stylus, the scroll buttons, or the rocker switch.

To move around the screen do one of the following:

■ Tap an item with the stylus.
■ Press the scroll buttons to scroll through the items on the screen.
■ Roll the rocker switch up or down to scroll through the items on the screen.

Displaying online tips

Using the headset

You can connect a headset for hands-free operation. Your Treo is compatible with the included headset and other headsets listed at www.handspring.com. If you need to use your phone while driving and this is permitted in your area, we recommend using a headset.

Note: Treo is not compatible with three-pin (also called three-pole) style headsets. You can determine whether a headset is a three-pin headset by counting the number of silver rings on the headset pin. A three-pin headset has three rings.

To use the headset:

1. Connect the headset plug to the headset jack on the side of your communicator.

1. Place the speaker in your ear.

2. Press the headset button to perform any of the following functions:

■ Answer an incoming call (including an incoming call waiting call).
■ Switch between two active calls.
■ Place the second call on hold when you have two active calls
■ Hang up an active call.

Connecting the HotSync cable

The HotSync cable that comes with your Treo enables you to charge your communicator battery and to synchronize the information on your communicator using HotSync technology.

Note: If your computer does not have a USB port, or it uses Windows 95 or Windows NT, you need a serial HotSync cable to connect to your computer. You can purchase a serial HotSync cable from www.handspring.com.

To connect the HotSync cable:

1. Connect the travel charger cable to the short end of the Hotsync cable. Be sure to match the sides of the connectors labeled "UP."

2. Connect the USB HotSync cable to a USB port on your computer, or connect the Serial HotSync cable to a Serial port on your computer.

3. Connect the long end of the HotSync cable to your communicator with the button facing up.

Note: If you are unsure about the exact location of the USB port or serial port on your computer, refer to the manual supplied with the computer.

1. Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.

Tip: The travel charger does not need to be plugged into a wall outlet to perform a HotSync operation. However, if you want to use the HotSync cable to charge your Treo communicator, you must plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.

Using desktop software

When you use desktop software with HotSync technology, you can do any of the following:

■ Work with your communicator applications on your computer. Most desktop software applications duplicate many of the applications on your communicator, so you can view, enter, and modify most of the data stored on your communicator.
■ Back up and synchronize data between your communicator and your computer. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures that changes you make on your communicator or desktop software appear in both places. See the section that begins on page 78 for details.
■ Configure the wireless data features of your Treo.
- Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from other desktop applications into many of your applications. See the section that begins on page 37 for details.
■ Print data from your desktop software on any printer.

Using your communicator with Palm Desktop software

Your communicator comes with Palm Desktop software. Palm Desktop software includes many of the same applications as your communicator: Date Book, Address (the Contacts view in PhoneBook), To Do List, Memo Pad, Expense, and desktop e-mail connectivity.

The following instructions guide you through installing Palm Desktop software. After installation, refer to the online Help in Palm Desktop software for information about how to use the software.

Note: You must install the software that comes with your Treo communicator even if you already installed Palm Desktop software for a previous Palm OS handheld.

To ensure a safe and uninterrupted installation of Palm Desktop software, please do not simply copy the Palm Desktop software files to your computer's hard disk. You must use the installer to place the files in their proper locations and to decompress the files.

To install Palm Desktop software:

1. Connect the HotSync cable. See page 23 for instructions.
2. Exit any open programs, including those that run at startup such as Microsoft Office, and disable any virus-scanning software.
3. Insert the Handspring CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM drive.
4. If the language selection screen appears, click the same language you selected on your communicator. Choosing a different language may result in loss of data.
5. If the model selection screen appears, click the name of the product you purchased and follow the onscreen instructions to continue the installation.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation and to configure your Treo for wireless data communication.

When the set up process is done, the installation screen closes automatically.

Using your communicator with Microsoft Outlook

The software that comes with your Treo communicator includes everything you need to synchronize your communicator with Microsoft Outlook. If you already have Microsoft Outlook installed on your computer, the installation program prompts you to choose the Microsoft Outlook synchronization option.

Using your communicator with another PIM

If you prefer to use another personal information manager (PIM), such as Lotus Notes, you can use it if third-party connection software, called a conduit, is available for your PIM. You must install the software that came with your Treo communicator along with the conduit for your PIM to synchronize the data between your communicator and your PIM. For information on conduit software, go to this web site: www.handspring.com.

Using an e-mail application with your communicator

Your communicator comes with two e-mail applications: One-Touch Mail™ by JP Mobile, and Palm Mail.

Note: To use a wireless e-mail application, your wireless service provider must support data services and it must be part of your service package (some wireless service providers may require you to sign up for data services separately). You must also have an account established with an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Many wireless service providers also provide ISP services. If ISP information is available from your wireless service provider when you configure your wireless communication settings with the Handspring CD-ROM, the installation program sets up your communicator for use with that provider.

One-Touch Mail

One-Touch Mail is a wireless e-mail application that enables you to access your ISP (POP3 account) e-mail directly from your communicator. You may also be able to use One-Touch Mail to access your corporate e-mail; contact your System Administrator for assistance.

To install One-Touch Mail, do one of the following:

■ Select the One-Touch Mail option when you configure the wireless communication features using the Handspring CD-ROM.

To install Palm Mail:

■ Select Mail Setup under Programs/ Handspring (or Palm) on the Windows Start menu

Chapter 2

Entering Data in Your Communicator

This chapter explains how to enter data into your Treo™ 180g communicator using each of the following methods:

■ Using Graffiti ® writing
■ Using the onscreen keyboard
■ Using your computer keyboard
■ Importing data

Using Graffiti writing to enter data

Your communicator includes Graffiti writing software as the primary system for entering text and numbers. With Graffiti writing, you write simple strokes with the stylus and they are instantly recognized as letters or numbers. This section shows you how to write letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols as well as some Graffiti tips and tricks.

Writing Graffiti characters

Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the uppercase letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.

There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti writing:

If you draw the character shape exactly as shown in the tables later in this chapter (like the shapes shown in the following diagram), you achieve 100% accuracy.

• The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke. Certain characters have similar shapes, but different beginning and end points. Always begin the stroke at the heavy dot (you should not create the heavy dot; it is only there to show you where to begin the stroke).
• Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your communicator recognizes and displays the text character immediately. To accomplish single strokes, some Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet equivalents.

■ The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one for writing the letters of the alphabet and one for writing numbers. The small division marks at the top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area indicate the two separate areas.

To write Graffiti letters:

1. Tap the screen where you want your text to go.

Note: You need to tap above the Graffiti writing area, and must see a blinking cursor before you write the text.

1. Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke shape for the letter you want to create. For example, the stroke shown below creates the letter "n."

Note: There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these letters, choose the one that's easiest for you.

As you'll see later, you use the same shape to create both the uppercase and lowercase version of a letter.

1. Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.

2. Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the tables.

3. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.

That's all there is to it! When you lift the stylus from the screen, your communicator recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter on the screen next to the cursor.

As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you want to write.

Important: You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your communicator does not recognize them as text characters.

Graffiti tips

When using Graffiti writing, keep these tips in mind:

■ Accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.
- To delete characters, simply set the cursor to the right of the character you want to delete and make the backspace stroke (a line from right to left) in the Graffiti writing area.

■ Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate recognition errors.

- Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the Graffiti writing area.

■ Press firmly.

The Graffiti alphabet

Letter Strokes Letter Strokes
A	∧	K		U	U
B	BB	L	L	V	VV
C	C	M	mm	W	W

G	G 6	Q	O	S	—
H	h	R	RR	Carriage Return	/
I	I	S	S	B Space	—
J	J	T	7	P	tap twice

Writing capital letters

You make capital letters with the same stroke shapes as the basic alphabet characters. To make capital letters, you must first “shift” to caps — just as you press the Shift key on a keyboard — and then write the character strokes.

Note: Graffiti writing includes a feature that automatically capitalizes the first letter when you create a new sentence or a new record (by tapping New or a blank line).

To draw the first letter of a word as a capital letter:

■ Use the Caps Shift stroke:

CapsShift

Tip: When Caps Shift is active, an "up arrow" symbol appears in the lower-right corner of the communicator screen. If you accidentally activate Caps Shift, backspace will cancel it.

To enter only capital letters (Caps Lock):

■ Use the Caps Lock stroke:

CapsLock

Tip: When Caps Lock is active, an underlined “up arrow” symbol appears in the lower-right corner of the communicator screen. To return to lowercase, make the Caps Shift stroke.

Writing numbers

Writing numbers with Graffiti writing is similar to writing letters of the alphabet, except that you make the character strokes on the right-hand side (numbers side) of the Graffiti writing area.

Number Strokes Number Strokes
0		5	5 5
1		6	6

2	2
3	3
4	1

7	7
8	8 8
9	9

Writing punctuation marks

Graffiti writing can create any punctuation symbol that you can enter from a standard keyboard. All punctuation marks begin with a single tap on the Graffiti writing area. When you make this tap, you activate Punctuation Shift and a dot appears to show it is active. The next stroke you make with the stylus creates a punctuation mark.

Note: When Punctuation Shift is active, you can make a symbol stroke anywhere in the Graffiti writing area (the letters or numbers side).

Symbol Stroke Symbol Stroke
Period.	•	Dash—	—
Comma,	↗	Left Paren(	C
Apostrophe,	↗	Right Paren)	↘
Question?	↗	Slash/	√
Exclamation!	↓	Dollar$	S

Additional Graffiti punctuation

Writing symbols and extended characters

All symbols and extended characters begin with the stroke in the Graffiti writing area of your communicator:

SymbolShift

When the Symbol Shift is active, a slanted shift symbol appears in the lower-right corner of the screen. The next stroke that you make creates the symbol or extended character.

Details Symbol Shift

Writing accented characters

To create accented characters, draw the stroke normally used to create the letter, followed by an accent stroke. Graffiti writing then adds the accent to the letter.

For example, the following diagram shows the strokes required to draw an accented "e."

Accent strokes

Using these accent strokes, you can write the following accented letters:

Additional non-English characters

You can write the following characters in the lowercase alphabet mode without any special punctuation or shifting:

Note: You must write these non-English characters in the left side of the Graffiti writing area.

Navigation strokes

In addition to character symbols, Graffiti writing includes special strokes that you can use to navigate within text or fields in your applications.

Command Stroke
Move cursor right
Move cursor left
Previous field(Contacts view in PhoneBook only)	[###]
Next Field(Contacts view in PhoneBook only)	[###]
Open Contact Record(Contacts view in PhoneBook only)	[###]

Graffiti ShortCuts

Graffiti ShortCuts make entering commonly used words or phrases quick and easy. ShortCuts are similar to the Glossary or Autotext features of some word processors.

Graffiti writing comes with several predefined ShortCuts, and you can also create your own. Each ShortCut can represent up to 45 characters. For example, you might create a ShortCut for your name, or for the header of a memo. See page 193 to learn about creating your own ShortCuts.

To use a ShortCut, draw the ShortCut stroke followed by the ShortCut characters. When you draw the ShortCut stroke, the ShortCut symbol appears by the cursor to show that you are in ShortCut mode.

ShortCut

Your communicator includes the following predefined Graffiti ShortCuts:

Entry ShortCut
Date stamp ds
Time stamp ts
Date / time stamp dts
Meeting me
Breakfast br
Lunch lu
Dinner di

Using the onscreen keyboard

You can open the onscreen keyboard anytime you need to enter text or numbers on your communicator. Note that you cannot enter Graffiti characters while using the onscreen keyboard.

To use the onscreen keyboard:

1. Open any application (such as Memo Pad).

2. Tap any record, or tap New.

3. Tap "abc" to open the alphabetic keyboard, or tap "123" to open the numeric keyboard.

1. Tap the characters to enter text and numbers.

Note: The onscreen keyboard also includes a dialog box for international characters. You can switch among the three dialogs at any time to enter the exact text you need.

1. After you finish, tap Done to close the onscreen keyboard and place the text in the record.

Using your computer keyboard

Many of the applications on your communicator are available in Palm Desktop software and in most Personal Information Manager (PIM) applications. If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer keyboard, you can use Palm™ Desktop software, or any supported PIM such as Microsoft Outlook, to enter information. You can then perform a HotSync® operation to synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your communicator. See the section that begins on page 78 for details on HotSync operations.

Refer to Palm Desktop online Help or the documentation that came with your PIM software for more information on entering data on your computer.

Importing data

If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets and databases, or if you want to import data from another Palm OS ^® handheld, you can transfer the data to your communicator without having to key it in manually. Save the data in one of the file formats listed below, import it into Palm Desktop software, and then perform a HotSync operation to transfer the data to your communicator.

Palm Desktop software can import data in the following file formats:

■ Comma delimited (.csv, .txt): Address and Memo Pad only
■ Tab delimited (.tab, .tsv, .txt): Address and Memo Pad only
■ CSV (Lotus Organizer 2.x/97 Mapping): Address only
■ vCal (.vcs) Date Book only
■ vCard (.vcf) Address only
■ Date Book archive (.dba)
■ Address archive (.aba)
■ To Do List archive (.tda)

Installing and removing applications

This section explains how to install and remove applications on your communicator and how to remove Palm™ Desktop software from your computer.

Installing add-on applications

Your communicator comes with the PhoneBook, Date Book Plus, Blazer (or another web browser installed by your wireless service provider), SMS Messaging, To Do List, Memo Pad, Expense, Calculator, CityTime, SIM Book, and SIM Services applications installed and ready to use. The Handspring CD-ROM also includes e-mail applications which you can install when you configure the wireless portion of your communicator with the CD-ROM.

You can also install additional applications on your communicator, such as business applications, games, and other software. The Install Tool makes it easy to install software on your communicator during a HotSync® operation. There are a variety of third-party applications available for devices that use Palm OS software. To learn more about these applications, go to the web site: www.handspring.com.

When you download an add-on application from the Internet, it is probably in a compressed format such as a .zip or .sit file. If you have a decompression utility on your computer, use it to decompress the .prc and .pdb files inside the compressed file. If you do not have a decompression utility, search the Internet using phrases like 'zip decompression' or 'how to unzip'. This will lead you to various third-party utilities that you can use to decompress any kind of compressed or downloaded file--not just add-ons for your communicator. After you install the utility, you are ready to decompress the add-on application files that you downloaded.

Note: Any applications that you install on your communicator resides in RAM memory; you can delete them at any time.

To install add-on software on your communicator:

1. Copy or download the application you want to install into the add-on folder in your Handspring (or Palm) directory on your computer.

Note: If the software you download is compressed, you need to decompress it into this folder. If you prefer to place the application into another folder, you need to navigate to that folder before you complete step 5.

1. Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on your desktop.

3. Click Install.

Tip: You can also access the Install Tool dialog box by selecting Install Tool under Handspring on the Start menu, or by double-clicking any file with a PRC file extension.

1. In the User drop-down list, select the name that corresponds to your communicator.
2. Click Add.

1. Select the application(s) that you want to install on your communicator.

2. Click Open.

Note: Review the list of applications you selected in the Install Tool dialog box. If you do not want to install an application, select it, and then click Remove. (This does not remove the application from your computer; it simply removes it from the list of applications to install.)

1. Click Done.

2. Perform a HotSync operation to install the application(s) you selected in step 6. See the section that begins on page 78 for details.

Tip: You can also install an application by simply double-clicking the application's icon.

Removing applications

In the event that you run out of memory or decide that you no longer need an application you installed, you can remove applications from your communicator. You can remove only add-on applications, patches, and extensions that you install; you cannot remove the applications that reside in the ROM portion of your communicator.

Common Tasks

In addition to the wireless communication applications, your Treo™ 180g communicator also includes a full suite of personal information manager (PIM) applications: Date Book Plus, the Contacts view in PhoneBook, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Expense. This chapter provides instructions on how to do tasks that are common to several applications. It's easy to transfer what you learn in one application to the other applications because the structure and behavior of all these applications are quite similar.

Throughout this chapter, the term “record” is used to refer to an individual item in any of the PIM applications: a single Date Book Plus event, Contacts entry in PhoneBook, To Do List item, Memo Pad memo, or Expense item.

Using menus

Menus on your communicator are easy to use. Once you have mastered them in one application, you can use them the same way in all other applications.

The menus of each application are illustrated in the section on that application in Chapter 6. The Edit menu is described in the section that begins on page 64.

To open the menu bar:

1. Do one of the following:

■ Open an application (such as Memo Pad) and then tap the Menu icon
- Tap the inverted tab at the top of any application's screen (except Calculator).

In this example, three menus are available: Record, Edit, and Options. The Record menu is selected and contains the commands New Memo, Delete Memo, and Beam Memo.

Choosing a menu

After you open the menu bar for an application, tap the menu that contains the command you want to use.

The menus and menu commands that are available depend on the application. Also, the menus and menu commands vary depending on which part of the application you're using. For example, in Memo Pad, the menus are different for the Memo list screen and the Memo screen.

Graffiti® menu commands

Most menu commands have an equivalent Graffiti® Command stroke, which is similar to the keyboard shortcuts used to execute commands on computers. The command letters appear to the right of the menu command names. To use the Graffiti menu commands, the menu bar must be closed.

To use the Graffiti menu commands:

1. In the Graffiti text area, draw a diagonal line from the lower left to the upper right.

The Command toolbar appears for about four seconds.

1. Immediately write the corresponding command letter in the Graffiti letter area.

For example, to choose Copy in the Edit menu, draw the Command stroke, followed by the letter "c."

Tip: If you wait more than three seconds to write the menu command, you need to redraw the Graffiti Command stroke to redisplay the Command toolbar.

Command toolbar

The Command toolbar provides quick access to frequently used menu commands. The commands available vary based on the active screen.

To use the command toolbar:

1. In the Graffiti text area, draw a diagonal line from the lower left to upper right.

The Command toolbar appears for about four seconds.

1. Tap the icon for the command you want.

Tip: If you wait more than three seconds to tap the icon, you need to redraw the Graffiti Command stroke to redisplay the Command toolbar.

Creating records

You can use the following procedure to create a new record in Date Book Plus, the Contacts view in PhoneBook, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Expense.

To create a record:

1. Select the application in which you want to create a record.
2. Tap New.
3. In Date Book Plus only: Select a record type from the pop-up list, select start and end times for your event, and then tap OK.
4. Enter text for the record.

Note: Your communicator automatically capitalizes the first letter of each field (except numeric and e-mail fields). You do not have to use the Graffiti Caps Shift stroke to capitalize the first letter of the name.

1. Use the Next Field Graffiti stroke to move to the next field.

Next Field

Tip: You can also move to any field by tapping it directly, by pressing the scroll buttons, or by rolling the rocker switch.

1. (Optional) Tap Details to select attributes for the record.
2. In Contacts view in PhoneBook and Memo Pad only: Tap Done.

There's no need to save the record because your communicator saves it automatically.

Editing records

After you create a record, you can change, delete, or enter new text at any time. Two screen features tell you when your communicator is in editing mode:

■ A blinking cursor

■ One or more edit lines

Entering text

For information on how to enter text using Graffiti writing, the onscreen keyboard, or the keyboard attached to your computer, see Chapter 2.

Edit menu

The Edit menu is available with any screen where you enter or edit text. In general, commands available in the Edit menu apply to text that you select (or highlight) in an application.

To select text in an application:

1. Tap the beginning of the text that you want to select.

2. Drag the stylus over the text to highlight it. You can drag across the text to select additional words, or drag down to select a group of lines.

Tip: To select a word, double-tap the word. To select a whole line, triple-tap the line.

The following commands may appear in an Edit menu:

Undo Reverses the action of the last edit command. For example, if you used Cut to remove text, Undo restores the text you removed. Undo also reverses deletions done by using backspace.

Cut Removes the selected text and stores it temporarily in the memory of your communicator. You can paste the text you cut into another area of the current application or into a different application.

Copy Copies the selected text and stores it temporarily in the memory of your communicator. You can paste the text that you copy into another area of the current application or into a different application.

Paste Inserts the text that you cut or copied at the selected point in a record. The text you paste replaces any selected text. If you did not previously cut or copy text, Paste does nothing.

Select All Selects all of the text in the current record or screen. This enables you to cut or copy all of the text and paste it elsewhere.

Keyboard Opens the onscreen keyboard. When you finish with the onscreen keyboard, tap Done.

Graffiti Help Opens screens that show all the Graffiti character strokes. Use this command anytime you forget a stroke for a character.

Deleting records

To delete a record in any of the PIM applications:

1. Tap the record you want to delete.
2. Tap the Menu icon .
3. Tap Record, and then tap the Delete command:

Date Book Plus: Delete Item

Contacts view in PhoneBook: Delete Contact

To Do List: Delete Item

Memo Pad: Delete Memo

Expense: Delete Item

A confirmation dialog box appears. If you want to save a copy of the deleted item to an archive file in Palm Desktop software, be sure that the check box is checked. If you don't want to save a copy, tap the check box to remove the check.

1. Tap OK.

If you choose to save a copy of the selected item, your communicator transfers it to the archive file on your desktop the next time you perform a HotSync ^® operation.

Other ways to delete records

You can also delete records in the following ways:

■ In the Details dialog box of the application, tap Delete, and then tap OK.

■ Delete the text of the record.

- Draw the Graffiti Command stroke √ to display the Command toolbar, and then tap the Delete icon 📄 on the Command toolbar.

Note: In Date Book Plus, if you delete the text of a repeating event, you delete all instances of that event.

Purging records

Over time, as you use Date Book Plus, To Do List, and Expense, you'll accumulate records in these applications that have outlived their usefulness. For example, events that occurred months ago remain in the Date Book Plus, and To Do items that you marked as completed remain in the list, as do Expense items.

All these outdated records take up memory on your communicator, so it's a good idea to remove them by using Purge. If you think Date Book Plus or To Do List records might prove useful later, you can purge them from your communicator and save them in an archive file.

Purging is not available in Contacts view in PhoneBook or Memo Pad, so delete outdated records from these applications.

To purge records:

1. Open the application.

2. Tap the Menu icon

1. Tap Record, and then tap Purge.

A confirmation dialog box appears.

Date Book Plus: Tap the pick list and select how old a record must be to be purged. Purge deletes repeating events if the last of the series ends before the date that you purge records.

Date Book Plus, To Do List: If you want to save a copy of the purged records to an archive file on your desktop, be sure that the check box is checked. If you don't want to save a copy, tap the check box to remove the check box.

4. Tap OK.

If you chose to save a copy of the purged records, your communicator transfers them to an archive file on your desktop the next time you perform a HotSync operation.

Note: Purging does not happen automatically. You must tap the command to make it happen.

Categorizing records

Categorize records in the Contacts view in PhoneBook, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Expense applications so that they are grouped logically and are easy to review. (You can also categorize applications. See page 39 for details.)

When you create a record, your communicator automatically places it in the category that is currently displayed. If the category is All, your communicator assigns it to the Unfiled category. You can leave an entry as Unfiled or assign it to a category at any time.

System-defined and user-defined categories

By default, your communicator includes system-defined categories, such as All and Unfiled, and user-defined categories, such as Business and Personal.

You cannot modify the system-defined categories, but you can rename and delete the user-defined categories. In addition, you can create your own user-defined categories. You can have a maximum of 15 user-defined categories in each application.

The Contacts view in PhoneBook contains the QuickList user-defined category, in which you can store the names, addresses, and phone numbers you might need in emergencies (doctor, fire department, lawyer, etc.).

Expense contains two user-defined categories, New York and Paris, to show how you might sort your expenses for different business trips.

Note: The illustrations in this section come from Memo Pad, but you can use these procedures in all the applications in which categories are available. Categories are not available in Date Book Plus.

To move a record into a category:

1. Select the record you want to categorize.
2. In Contacts view in PhoneBook only: Tap Edit.
3. In the record view, tap the Category list to display the list of available categories.

1. Select the category for the record.

Tip: You can also assign a record to a category by tapping the Details button, selecting a category from the Category pick list in the Details dialog box, and then tapping OK.

To display a category of records:

1. Tap the category pick list in the upper-right corner of the list screen.

1. Tap the category pick list in the upper-right corner of the screen.
2. Tap Edit Categories.
3. Select the category that you want to rename, and then tap Rename.

1. Enter the new name for the category, and then tap OK.

1. Tap OK.

Tip: You can group the records in two or more categories into one category by giving the categories the same name. For example, if you change the name of the Personal category to Business, all records formerly in the Personal category appear in the Business category.

Finding records

Your communicator offers several ways to find information quickly:

■ All applications: The Find utility locates any text that you specify, always starting with the current application.
- Date Book Plus, To Do List, Memo Pad: The Phone Number Lookup feature displays the Contacts view in PhoneBook and shows names and phone numbers for entries that have phone numbers. You can add the information that appears in this list to a record.

■ PhoneBook: The Instant Lookup feature lets you scroll immediately to a Contacts record in PhoneBook by entering the first few letters of a first or last name, or the first name initial and the first few letters of a last name.
- Expense: The Lookup feature displays the Contacts in PhoneBook that have data in the Company field. You can add these names to a list of attendees associated with an Expense record.

Looking up Contacts records in PhoneBook

When working with the Contacts view in PhoneBook, the buttons on your communicator make it easy to navigate among your Contacts entries.

In the Contacts list screen, the rocker switch moves up and down one record and the scroll buttons move up or down an entire screen of records. If you press and hold a scroll button, you accelerate the scrolling and display every third screen.
In the Contact View screen, the scroll buttons move to the previous or next Contacts record.

You can also use the Instant Lookup feature, from any of the PhoneBook views, to quickly scroll to any of your Contacts entries.

To use Instant Lookup to find a Contacts record:

1. From the Speed Dial, Contacts, or Call History views in PhoneBook, enter one of the following for the name you want to find:

■ First name initial and last name.
■ First name
■ Last name

For example, writing an “s” displays “Susan Lee,” “James Sands,” “Sal Martini,” and “John Smythe.” Writing “sm” reduces the list to “Sal Martini,” and “John Smythe.”

1. Tap the contact name to view the contents of the record.

Using Find

You can use Find to locate any text that you specify, in any application.

To use Find:

1. Tap the Find icon

Tip: If you select text in an application before you tap Find, the selected text automatically appears in the Find dialog box.

1. Enter the text that you want to find.

Find is not case-sensitive. For example, searching for the name “davidson” also finds “Davidson.”

Find locates any word that begin with the text you enter. For example, searching for “plan” finds “planet,” but not “airplane.”

1. Tap OK.

Find searches for the text in all records and all notes.

As your communicator searches for the text, you can tap Stop at any time. You may want to do this if the entry you want appears before your communicator finishes the search. To continue the search after you tap Stop, tap Find More.

1. Tap the text that you want to review.

Using Phone Number Lookup

Phone Number Lookup displays the information you entered in the Contacts view in PhoneBook, and it lets you add this information to a record.

To use Phone Number Lookup:

1. Display the record in which you want to insert a phone number. The record can be in Date Book Plus, To Do List, or Memo Pad.

2. Tap the Menu icon

1. Tap Options, and then tap Phone Lookup.

2. If your Contacts view in PhoneBook is sorted by last name, begin to spell the last name. If your Contacts are sorted by first name, begin to spell the first name.

Note: The first initial and last name search in the PhoneBook Instant Lookup feature is not available in the Phone Number Lookup feature.

Phone Number Lookup displays records that begin with the letters you enter based on the sort method in your Contacts view in PhoneBook. For example, if your Contacts are sorted by last name and you enter "su," the list displays "John Sung" and "Mario Suarez." If your Contacts are sorted by first name, and your enter "su," the list displays "Susan Smith" and "Suki Sakimoto."

1. Continue to spell the name you're looking for, or when you see the name, tap it.

1. Tap Add.

The name you selected, along with the other information associated with it, is pasted into the record you selected in step 1.

Phone Number Lookup tips

Write the Graffiti Command stroke "/L" to activate the Phone Number Lookup feature. You can also activate it in the following circumstances:

■ While entering text: For example, if your Contacts view in PhoneBook is sorted by last name and you want to insert the full name and phone number for someone with the last name "Williams," write the Graffiti characters for "Wi" and then the Phone Number Lookup Command stroke "/L." Assuming you have only one Contacts record with a last name that begins with "Wi," your communicator inserts the full name "Fred Williams" (and its associated information). If you have more than one name that begins with "Wi," the Phone Number Lookup screen appears and highlights the first record that begins with "Wi."
- For selected text: Drag to highlight the text, and then write the Phone Number Lookup Command stroke "/L." Your communicator replaces the selected text and adds the name and its associated information.

Looking up names to add to expense records

In Expense, Lookup displays the names of Contacts entries in Phonebook that have data in the Company field. You can add these names to a list of attendees associated with an Expense record.

Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations

The HotSync process automatically synchronizes — that is, exchanges and updates — data between your communicator and desktop software. Changes you make on your communicator or desktop software appear in both places after a HotSync operation. HotSync technology synchronizes only the needed portions of files, thus reducing synchronization time. You can synchronize your data directly by connecting your communicator to your computer with the HotSync cable or by beaming the data from the IR port on your communicator to the IR port on your computer, or indirectly with a modem or network. See Chapter 8 for information about performing HotSync operations via the IR port, a modem, or a network.

Performing a HotSync operation for the first time

The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user information on both the communicator and Palm Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync Manager recognizes your communicator and doesn't ask for this information again.

If you are a System Administrator preparing several communicators for a group of users, you may want to create a user profile. See the section that begins on page 209 before performing the following steps.

Important: You must use the HotSync cable for your first HotSync operation.

The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop software. If you have not installed this software, see page 25 for instructions.

To perform a local HotSync operation:

1. Connect your communicator to the Hotsync cable. See the section that begins on page 23 for details.

2. If the HotSync Manager is not running, start it: On the Windows desktop, click Start, and then choose Programs. Navigate to the Handspring (or Palm) program group and choose HotSync Manager. Alternatively, you can start the Palm Desktop software which automatically opens the HotSync Manager.

3. Press the HotSync button on the cable.

Important: The first time you perform a HotSync operation, you must enter a user name in the New User dialog box and click OK. Every communicator should have a unique name. To prevent loss of a user's records, never try to synchronize more than one communicator to the same user name.

1. From the Select User dialog box, choose the user name you assigned to your communicator.

The HotSync Progress dialog box appears and synchronization begins.

1. Wait for a message on your communicator indicating that the process is complete.

After the HotSync process is complete, you can remove your communicator from the cable.

Beaming information

Your communicator is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that you can use to beam information to another Palm OS® device that's close by and also has an IR port. The IR port is located on the top of your communicator, between the power button and the ringer switch, behind the small dark shield.

You can beam the following information between Palm OS devices:

■ The record currently displayed in Date Book Plus, the Contacts view in PhoneBook, To Do List, or Memo Pad
■ All records of the category currently displayed in the Contacts view in PhoneBook, To Do List, or Memo Pad
■ A special record in the Contacts view of PhoneBook that you designate as your personal business card, containing information you want to exchange with business contacts
■ An application installed in RAM memory

You can also use the infrared port to perform HotSync operations. See the section that begins on page 198 for details.

PhoneBook has five main views. You can place and receive calls from within any view, and you can also receive calls when the screen is off (but wireless mode must be on). The sections that follow explain how to use each of these views.

To change the PhoneBook view, do one of the following:

■ Tap the icons in the lower-left corner of the PhoneBook screen.

■ Repeatedly press the PhoneBook application button 📋 on the front panel of your Treo™ 180g communicator to cycle through the views.

Note: The Active Call icon and view appear only after you place an outgoing call or receive an incoming call.

Contacts view

Call History view Active Call view

At the top of each view, many of the following common icons appear to provide wireless mode status information for your phone:

Note: Your wireless service provider may use a different voicemail notification method that does not include the voicemail notification icon.

Using the Speed Dial view

You can store up to 50 phone numbers in the Speed Dial list. There are five pages of numbers that hold ten numbers per page.

Tip: You can keep your Speed Dial list organized by storing different types of numbers on different pages. For example, create separate pages for family, business, friends, and emergency numbers.

Defining a Speed Dial button

For each Speed Dial button you can assign a name, phone number, and extra digits such as an extension. By default, the first slot on the first Speed Dial page is reserved for your wireless service provider's voicemail service number. If the voicemail number is pre-programmed on your SIM card, you cannot delete this entry or change the phone number, but you can move the voicemail entry to another button, rename it, and add Extra digits.

If the voicemail number is not pre-programmed on your SIM card, you can edit the voicemail entry to enter the number.

To define a Speed Dial button:

1. Open the lid, or if you are in another application, press the PhoneBook application button on the front of your communicator.

1. Tap a blank Speed Dial button.

1. Enter the Name you want to assign to the button.
2. Tap the Number field and enter the phone number associated with the button.

Date Book Plus

When you open Date Book Plus, the screen shows the current date and a list of times for a normal business day.

Scheduling an event

A record in Date Book Plus is called an “event.” An event can be any kind of activity that you associate with a day. You can enter a new event on any of the available time lines. When you schedule an event, its description appears on the time line, and its duration is automatically set to one hour. You can easily change the start time and duration for any event.

Note: It's possible to schedule events that overlap, but Date Book Plus makes it easy to find such conflicts. See page 114 for details.

You can also schedule events that occur on a particular date but have no specific start or end times, such as birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. These are referred to as “untimed events.” Untimed events appear at the top of the list of times, marked with a diamond. You can have more than one untimed event on a particular date.

You can also schedule a repeating event, such as a weekly meeting, and continuous events, such as a three-day conference or a vacation.

To schedule an event for the current day:

1. Tap the time line that corresponds to the beginning of the event.

1. Enter a description of the event. You can enter up to 255 characters.

2. If the event is one hour long, skip to step 7. If the event is longer or shorter than an hour, tap the time of the event to open the Set Time dialog box.

Tip: You can also open the Set Time dialog (to select a start time) by making sure no event is selected, and then writing a number in the Graffiti writing area.

Setting an alarm for an event

The Alarm setting enables you to set an audible alarm for events in Date Book Plus. You can set an alarm to sound minutes, hours, or days before an event. The default Alarm setting is 5 minutes before the time of the event, but you can change this to any number of minutes, hours, or days.

When you set an alarm, this icon ☑ appears to the far right of the event with the alarm. When the alarm tone sounds, a reminder message also appears onscreen.

Note: Make sure the ringer is on. Silencing the ringer also turns off all system sounds, including alarms. When you silence the ringer, Date Book Plus alarms vibrate.

To set an alarm for an event:

Alarm for untimed events: You can set a silent alarm for an untimed event. In this case, the alarm triggers at the specified period of minutes, hours, or days before midnight (beginning) of the day of the untimed event. No audible alarm sounds for an untimed event; instead, the reminder message appears onscreen.

For example, you set an alarm for an untimed event that occurs on February 4th. If the alarm is set for 5 minutes, the reminder message appears at 11:55 PM on the night of February 3rd. The reminder remains onscreen until you turn on your communicator and tap OK to dismiss it.

• Tap 5 min, 10 min, 30 min, or Other to reset the alarm to notify you in a specified period of time.
  ■ Tap OK to dismiss the alarm, or if the lid is closed, press the top scroll button.

Scheduling repeating or continuous events

The Repeat function lets you schedule events that recur at regular intervals or extend over a period of consecutive days. A birthday is a good example of an event that repeats annually. Another example is a weekly guitar lesson that falls on the same day of the week and the same time of day.

Typically, a continuous event is an untimed event such as a business trip or a vacation that continues for several days but doesn't occur at a particular time of day.

To schedule a repeating or continuous event:

1. Tap the event.
2. Tap Details.
3. Tap the Repeat box to open the Change Repeat dialog box.

1. Tap Day, Week, Month, or Year to set how often event repeats.

For a continuous event, tap Day.

1. Enter a number that corresponds to how often you want the event to repeat on the Every line.

For example, if you select Month and enter the number 2, the event repeats every other month.

1. To specify an end date for the repeating or continuous event, tap the End on pick list and tap Choose Date. Use the date picker to select an end date.

2. Tap OK.

After you schedule a repeating or continuous event, this icon appears to the far right of the event.

Changing and deleting repeating or continuous events

If you change or delete a repeating or continuous event you can apply the action to only the current event, to all instances of the event, or to the current event and instances that follow.

To change or delete repeating events:

1. Select the record you want to change or delete.
2. Tap Details.
3. Enter the change and tap OK, or tap Delete.
4. Tap one of the following:

Current. Changes or deletes only the current instance of the repeating event.

All. Changes or deletes all past, current, and future occurrences of this event.

Following. Changes or deletes the current event and all future occurrences of this event.

Considerations for repeating or continuous events

Keep the following points in mind:

If you change the start date of a repeating event, your communicator calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your communicator then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the repeating event.
If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a repeating event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting) are not changed, and your communicator creates a new repeating event.
If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., from January 14th to January 15th) and apply the change to All occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your communicator adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event. If you apply the change to Current or Future occurrences, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting) are not changed.
If you change other repeat settings (e.g., time, alarm, private) of a repeating event and apply the change to Future occurrences, your communicator creates a new event.

An event conflict (time overlap) appears in the Week View as overlapping bars. The Day View displays overlapping brackets to the left of the conflicting times.

Working with floating events

Date Book Plus can include events that are a combination of a To Do item and a Date Book event. These events are called “floating events.” Floating events are not assigned to a specific date, but can still be timed or untimed, can have alarms, and can repeat. If a floating event is not completed by midnight, it automatically advances to the next day until you mark it complete.

You can distinguish a floating event from an integrated To Do item by the circle that appears next to the floating event (in place of the To Do item priority number and check box). Floating events appear in alphabetical order at the top of the Day View screen between any integrated To Do items and untimed events.

To create a floating event:

1. Tap the Day View button.
2. Tap New and select Floating Event from the list.

1. Enter a description of the event.
2. Tap a blank area on the screen to deselect the floating event.

To mark a floating event complete:

■ Tap the circle to the right or left of the event.

Tips for using floating events:

• To prioritize floating events, enter a number followed by a space or dash as the first few characters of the description.
• To convert an existing event to a floating event, select the event, tap Details and select Float as the Type.
• When you complete a repeating floating event, it marks only the current occurrence of the event as complete.
• Avoid scheduling a floating event that repeats daily. These events can accumulate quickly unless you complete them each day.
• When viewing a floating event in a desktop application, the Note field will contain a series of characters: ##f@@@@@ for an incomplete event and ##c@@@@@ for a complete event. Do not remove or edit these characters.

Working with To Do items

Date Book Plus can create and display To Do items. To Do items appear in priority order at the top of the Day View screen.

To create To Do items in Date Book Plus:

1. Tap the Day View button.
2. Tap New and select To Do from the list.

1. Enter a description of the To Do item.
2. Tap a blank area on the screen to deselect the item.

To mark a To Do item complete:

■ Tap the check box next to the item.

Tips for using To Do items:

■ When you create a To Do item in Date Book Plus, the priority and category are based on the settings in the Create Options dialog box. See the section that begins on page 121 for details.
If a To Do item does not appear in Date Book Plus, confirm that the category assigned to the item is selected. See the section that begins on page 121 for details.
If you do not complete a To Do item on or before the due date, then an ! (exclamation mark) appears next to the item as a reminder that it is overdue.

Using the Daily Journal

You can use the Daily Journal feature to record events as they occur. Events are recorded with automatic time-stamping as Date Book Plus Notes so they do not clutter your schedule. The Daily Journal is especially useful for tracking activities such as sales calls, start and end times for consulting or other work, or keeping a record of how you spend your time at the office.

To create a Daily Journal entry:

1. Tap the Day View button.
2. Tap New and select Daily Journal from the list.

Date Book Plus creates an untimed event, opens a Note for this event, and inserts the current time. If you've already started a journal for the current day, Date Book Plus opens the existing journal and inserts a new entry.

1. Enter a description for the journal entry.
2. Tap Done.

Using templates

You can use templates to create a list of standard events. You can then select an event from this list and add it to your calendar. Since Date Book Plus saves all the event attributes, including alarms and notes, templates can really save you time when entering reminder notices or events that recur on different days and times.

To create a template:

1. Select the event you want to save as a template.
2. Tap the Menu icon .
3. Tap Record, and then tap Create Template.
4. Tap OK.

To schedule a template event:

1. From the Day view, go to the date on which you want to schedule the event.
2. Tap the time line that corresponds to the beginning of the event.

3. Tap the Day View button.

4. Tap New and select Template from the list.

1. Select the event from the Appointment Templates list.
2. Tap OK.

SMS Messaging

In addition to dialing and receiving voice calls, you can use your Treo to send and receive short text messages. These text messages, also called SMS (Short Message Service) messages, are similar to e-mail messages that you send and receive from your computer, but are limited to 160 characters in length. The person receiving your message must also have a GSM mobile phone and a wireless service provider that supports text messages. Some wireless service providers also allow you to use your Treo to send text messages to an e-mail address and to receive text messages from a computer. Talk to your wireless service provider for details about their SMS and SMS Email features.

Enabling SMS and SMS Email

To send and reply to SMS messages, you must subscribe to your wireless service provider's SMS service. If you subscribe to this service, your wireless service provider supplies an SMS Message Center number which appears in the SMS Preferences dialog.

Note: Your wireless service provider may use a different name for their text messaging service.

Contact your wireless service provider to see if their service is compatible with SMS.

To use SMS Email, you must subscribe to your wireless service provider's SMS Email service and enter their SMS Email Center number in the SMS Preferences dialog. The SMS Email Center forwards the SMS messages to the recipient's e-mail address. Contact your wireless service provider to obtain their SMS Email Center number.

To enable SMS and SMS Email:

1. Make sure wireless mode is on for at least 30 seconds. See page 18 for details.
2. Press the SMS Messaging application button on the front panel of your communicator.
3. From the SMS Messages Inbox, tap the Menu icon .
4. Under Options, tap Preferences.
5. Enter or confirm the SMS Message Center number.
6. Enter or confirm the SMS Email Center number.

1. Tap OK.

Receiving SMS messages

When you receive SMS messages, the New SMS Messages alert appears.

Note: You can receive SMS messages even if you don't subscribe to your wireless service provider's SMS service.

In the New SMS Messages alert dialog box, you can save or respond to the first message by tapping any of the following buttons:

OK Saves the message in the SMS Messages Inbox category, dismisses the alert dialog box, and returns you to the previous application.

Reply Switches to the SMS Messaging application, opens the new message dialog box, and addresses the message to the person who sent you the message.

Call Sender Dials the number of the person who sent you the message. If the message was sent from an e-mail address, this option is not available.

Delete Msg. Deletes the current message, dismisses the alert dialog box, and returns you to the previous application.

Tips:

■ To view additional incoming messages, press the SMS Messaging application button 📄 on the front panel of your communicator.
- You can also dismiss the alert dialog box by pressing the rocker switch or the top scroll button.

Viewing messages

SMS Messaging enables you to quickly view your incoming messages. You can also view messages you've sent and pending messages that will be sent when a signal is available.

To view SMS messages:

1. Press the SMS Messaging application button on the front of your communicator.

1. Tap the pick list in the upper-right corner to select the message category you want to view: Inbox, Sent, or Pending.

Creating SMS messages

SMS Messaging enables you to create short text messages and to send them to a mobile phone number or an e-mail address. If a message exceeds 160 characters, SMS Messaging automatically divides the text into multiple messages when it sends the message. As you create a message, the status bar at the top of the screen indicates how many messages will be sent and the number of characters in each message.

To save time while creating messages, you can insert predefined text from a boilerplate. Some boilerplates ask you to enter information such as a meeting time or place. Using a boilerplate is similar to filling in the blanks on a form letter instead of writing a letter from scratch. You can easily combine the boilerplate text with your own text to personalize your message.

You can create a message at any time, but if you send a message when you are outside a coverage area, your Treo places the message in the Pending category and sends it automatically when you return to a coverage area. While a message is in the Pending category, you can edit or delete it before it is sent.

To create an SMS text message:

1. From any SMS Messaging list view, tap New.

Note: If you defined a signature, it automatically appears at the end of your message. See page 137 for details on defining a signature.

1. Tap the To pick list and address the message by selecting one of the following:

Address by Mobile Number

Enter a mobile phone number to send an SMS message to another GSM mobile phone.

Address by Email Address

Enter an e-mail address to send an SMS message to an e-mail address. To send a message to an e-mail address, you must subscribe to your wireless service provider's SMS Email service and enter their SMS Email Center number in the SMS Preferences dialog. See page 132 for details.

Address by Last Name Lookup

Look up a name from your Contacts list in the PhoneBook application by entering the first few letters of the last name and then tapping the text portion of the message. This displays a list of matching entries from which you can choose a GSM mobile phone number or an email address.

Addresses Tap a recently used mobile phone number or e-mail address on the list.

Tip: If you're sending a message to an e-mail address and your wireless service provider supports message titles, you can add a title by entering #. Simply replace the word subject with the title, and the word message with the message body.

1. Enter the message text.

Tip: You can also tap Boilerplate to select a predefined text phrase. If prompted, enter or select other text to complete the phrase.

1. Tap OK.
2. Make sure wireless mode is on. See page 18 for details.
3. Tap Send.

The message goes into the Pending category until your phone transmits the message. After your message transmits, your Treo places a copy in the Sent category. If an error occurs while sending the message, an ! appears next to the message header. Tap the message header to view information about why the message did not go through.

Creating a message signature

You can create a signature of up to 80 characters. Then, when you create a message, SMS Messaging automatically inserts your signature at the end of each message you create. If necessary, you can edit the default signature text when you create a message.

Note: The signature text you define applies only to new messages. If you are editing a message or have messages in the Pending folder when you create the signature text, the signature text will not be added to those messages. If you enable or disable the signature option, the signature will not be added or removed from those messages either.

To create a message signature:

1. From any SMS Messaging list view, tap the Menu icon .

Finance buttons

Finance buttons enable you to find an unknown variable value based on a group of known variable values. For example, to calculate the monthly payment for a 30-year home loan of \$100,000 with an annual interest rate of 8%, you would enter the following variables:

■ Payments/year = 12
■ N = 360 (30 years x 12 months)
■ APR = 8
■ PV = 100,000
■ FV = 0

Using these variables, the answer would be -733.76 per month.

To solve this example:

1. Enter a value and then tap the corresponding variable button. Repeat this process until you've entered the following four variables:

Network Preferences and TCP/IP software

Network Preferences let you set a password, telephone number, DNS number, IP address, as well as create a login script for remote connections. TCP/IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in server with applications that allow you to view the transmitted data. Visit the web site www.handspring.com for information on third-party applications that take advantage of TCP/IP.

When you use the Handspring CD-ROM to configure your communicator, the configuration software attempts to set up your communicator with settings received from your wireless service provider. If the Configure Your Treo software configured your communicator with your wireless service provider's settings, the Phone field on the Network Preferences screen is set to "Wireless." In this case, we recommend that you do not change the settings from your wireless service provider. However, if the configuration software on the CD-ROM can't complete the configuration, you need to enter Network Preferences and TCP/IP settings to use your communicator as a wireless data device. You can use a preset service template for your ISP or dial-in server, and edit, save, and reuse settings. Or you can create your own service template.

To use the TCP/IP software included in the operating system, you must first configure the Connection Preferences and then the Network Preferences settings. After you configure both of these Preferences, you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed Serial Line Internet Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server. You can do this either by using menu commands from the Network Preferences screen or by using a third-party application.

Selecting a service

Use the Service setting to select the service template for your ISP or a dial-in server. Service templates are a set of ISP and dial-in server configuration settings that you can create, save, and reuse.

To select a service:

1. Tap the Service pick list.

1. Tap the predefined service template.

Note: If you want to enter a name for a new service template, see page 186 for details.

Entering a user name

The User Name setting identifies the name you use when you log into your Internet Service Provider or your dial-in server. Although this field can contain multiple lines of text, only two lines appear onscreen.

To enter a user name:

1. Tap the User Name field.

2. Enter your user name.

Note: Most dial-in servers do not accept spaces in the user name.

Entering a password

The Password box identifies the password you use to log into your server or ISP. Your entry in this field determines whether your communicator prompts you to enter a password each time you log into your network:

If you do not enter a password, your communicator displays the word "Prompt" in this field and asks you to enter a password during the login procedure.

If you enter a password, your communicator displays the word "Assigned" in this field and does not prompt you to enter a password during the login procedure.

Note: If you're concerned about security, select the Prompt option and do not enter a password.

To enter a password:

1. Tap the Password field.

2. Enter the password you use to log into your server.

1. Tap OK.

Note: The Password field updates to display the word "Assigned."

Selecting a connection

The Connection Preferences settings tell your communicator about the hardware you are using for remote data connections. Normally you'll use your communicator's built-in wireless modem to establish a data connection, but you can also use the infrared port or connect an external modem to the USB port. See the section that begins on page 176 for details on how to configure Connection Preferences.

To select a connection:

1. Tap the Connection pick list.

The list displays the configurations in your Connection Preferences panel.

1. Select the appropriate Connection.

Tip: For wireless data access, select Wireless Modem to Modem as the Connection.

Adding telephone settings

When you select the Phone field, your communicator opens a dialog box in which you define the telephone number you use to connect with your ISP or dial-in server. In addition, you can also define a prefix, disable Call Waiting, and give special instructions for using a calling card.

Note: The Phone Setup dialog box works correctly for AT&T and Sprint long-distance services. However, because MCI works differently, MCI customers need to put the calling card number in the Phone # field and the phone number in the Use calling card field.

To enter your server phone number:

1. Tap the Phone field.

2. Enter the phone number you use to reach your ISP or dial-in server.

1. If you need to enter a prefix or disable Call Waiting, skip to those procedures. Otherwise, tap OK.

Entering a prefix

A prefix is a number that you dial before the telephone number to access an outside line. For example, many offices require that you dial "9" to dial a number outside the building.

To enter a prefix:

1. Tap the Dial Prefix check box to select it.

1. Enter the prefix.
2. Tap OK.

Disabling Call Waiting

Call Waiting can cause your session to terminate if you receive a call while you are connected. If your telephone has Call Waiting, you need to disable this feature before logging into your ISP or dial-in server.

To disable Call Waiting:

1. Tap the Disable call waiting check box to select it.

1. Enter the code to disable Call Waiting on the Disable call waiting line.

Note: Each telephone company assigns a code to disable Call Waiting. Contact your local telephone company for the code that is appropriate for you.

1. Tap OK.

Using a calling card

The Use calling card field enables you to use your calling card when dialing your ISP or Intranet server. Keep in mind that there is usually a delay before you enter your calling card number. When you define your calling card number, you need to add commas at the beginning to compensate for this delay. Each comma delays transmission of your calling card number for two seconds.

To use a calling card:

1. Tap the Use calling card check box to select it.

1. Enter your calling card number on the Use calling card line.

Note: It's a good idea to add at least three commas at the beginning of your calling card number to compensate for the cue delay.

Tip: MCI customers must enter the calling card number in the Phone # field, and the phone number in the Use Calling Card field.

1. Tap OK.

Connecting to your service

After you set your Connection and Network Preferences, establishing a connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your company's network (dial-in server) is easy.

To establish a connection:

- Tap Connect to dial the current service and display the Service Connection Progress messages.

Tip: To see expanded Service Connection Progress messages, press the bottom scroll button.

To close a connection:

■ Tap Disconnect to terminate the connection between your communicator and your service.

Idle timeout

The Idle timeout setting defines how long your communicator waits before dropping the connection with your ISP or dial-in server when you switch out of a TCP/IP application.

To set the Idle timeout:

1. Tap the Idle timeout pick list and select one of the following options:

Immediate Drops the connection to your ISP immediately when you switch to another application.

1 minute Waits one minute for you to open another application before it drops the connection.
2 minutes Waits two minutes.
3 minutes Waits three minutes.

Power Off Keeps your PPP or SLIP connection until you turn off your communicator (or until it times out). See page 180 for information on the Auto-off delay setting.

1. Tap OK.

Defining primary and secondary DNS

The Domain Naming System (DNS) is a mechanism in the Internet for translating the names of host computers into IP addresses. When you enter a DNS number (or IP address), you are identifying a specific server that handles the translation services.

Each IP address has four sections, separated by periods. In the Details dialog box, you enter each section separately. Each section of an IP address is made up of a number from 0 to 255; numbers are the only allowable characters in this field.

Ask your Internet Service Provider or System Administrator for the correct Primary or Secondary DNS IP numbers.

Note: Most Internet Service Providers automatically provide DNS information. Leave the Query DNS option checked unless you are certain you need to manually enter DNS information.

To enter a primary and secondary DNS:

1. Tap the Query DNS check box to deselect it.
2. Tap the space to the left of the first period in the Primary DNS field, and then enter the first section of the IP address.
   Note: Each section must be a number from 0 to 255.
3. Repeat step 2 for the second, third, and last sections of the Primary DNS field.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Secondary DNS number.
5. Tap OK.

IP address

Everyone who logs on to the Internet needs to have a unique identifier (an IP address), whether permanent or temporary. Some networks dynamically assign a temporary IP address when clients log in. The IP Address field lets you identify whether your network provides automatic (dynamic) temporary IP addressing.

Note: Most Internet Service Providers automatically assign IP addresses. Leave the Automatic IP Address option checked unless you are certain you need to manually enter IP address information.

To identify dynamic IP addressing:

■ Tap the IP Address check box to select it.

To enter a permanent IP address:

1. Tap the IP Address check box to deselect it and display a permanent IP address field below the check box.
2. Tap the space to the left of the first period then enter the first section of the IP address.

Note: Each section must be a number from 0 to 255.

1. Tap and enter the remaining sections of the IP address.

2. Tap OK.

Creating a login script

A login script is a series of commands, similar to an autoexec.bat file, that automates logging into your ISP. You can create login script files by selecting commands from the Command pick list in the Login Script dialog. Some commands from the Command pick list, such as Send, require you to supply additional information. Those commands have a parameter field so that you can add the necessary data.

Note: You can also use non-ASCII and literal characters in your login script. See Appendix D for more information.

To create a login script:

1. Tap Script.
2. Tap the End pick list.

1. Tap the command you want from the Command list. If the command requires additional information, a field appears to the right of it for you to enter the information. The following commands are available:

Wait For Tells your communicator to wait for specific characters from the TCP/IP server before executing the next command.

Wait For Prompt

Detects a challenge-response prompt from the server and displays a dynamically generated challenge value.

Advanced HotSync® Operations

HotSync® Manager enables you to synchronize data between one or more Palm OS® devices and Palm™ Desktop software or another PIM such as Microsoft Outlook. To synchronize data, you must connect your Treo™ 180g communicator and your desktop software either directly, by connecting your communicator to the HotSync cable attached to your computer or using infrared communication, or indirectly, with using the built-in wireless modem or a network.

This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a HotSync operation via the infrared port, the built-in wireless modem, or a network. See page 78 for information about performing your first and subsequent local HotSync operations.

Selecting HotSync setup options

You can choose when you want HotSync Manager to run. If necessary, you can adjust the local and modem HotSync settings as well.

To set the HotSync options:

1. Click the HotSync Manager icon 📂 in the Windows system tray.

2. Choose Setup.

1. Click the General tab and select one of the following options:

Always available Adds HotSync Manager to the Startup folder and constantly monitors the communication port for synchronization requests from your communicator. With this option, the HotSync Manager synchronizes data even when Palm Desktop software is not running.

Available only when Palm Desktop software is running

Starts HotSync Manager and monitors requests automatically when you open Palm Desktop software.

Manual Monitors requests only when you select HotSync Manager from the Start menu.

Tip: If you're not sure which option to use, keep the default setting: Always available.

1. Click the Local tab to display the settings for the connection between your computer and the HotSync cable, and adjust the following options as needed.

Serial Port

Identifies the port that your desktop software uses to communicate with the optional serial HotSync cable. This selection should match the number of the port to which you connected the optional cable.

Note: Your communicator cannot share this port with an internal modem or other device.

Speed Determines the speed at which data is transferred between your communicator and your desktop software. Try the As Fast As Possible rate first, and adjust downward if you experience problems. This setting allows your desktop software and your communicator to find and use the fastest speed.

1. Click the Modem tab to display the modem settings and adjust the options as needed. See page 202 for more information.
2. If you are attached to a network, click the Network tab to display the network settings and adjust the options as needed. See page 206 for more information.
3. Click OK.

Customizing HotSync application settings

For each application, you can define a set of options that determines how records are handled during synchronization. These options are called a “conduit.” By default, a HotSync operation synchronizes all files between the communicator and your desktop software.

In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only reason you might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on either your communicator or your desktop software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of file because you don't use it.

In addition to the conduits for the applications on your communicator, HotSync Manager includes System and Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your communicator, including Graffiti® ShortCuts. The Install conduit installs applications on your communicator.

To customize HotSync application settings:

1. Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray (bottom-right corner of the taskbar).

Tip: You can also click the HotSync command on the Palm Desktop software menu bar.

1. From the HotSync Manager menu, choose Custom.

2. Select an application in the Conduit list.

3. Click Change.

1. Click the direction in which you want to write data, or click Do Nothing to skip data transfer for an application.

Note: Changing the HotSync setting from the default affects only the next HotSync operation. Thereafter, the HotSync Actions revert to their default settings. To use a new setting on an ongoing basis, select the Set As Default box. Thereafter, whatever you selected as the default setting is used when you click the Default button in the Custom dialog.

1. Click OK.

2. Repeat steps 4 through 7 to change conduit settings for other applications.

3. Click Done to activate your settings.

IR HotSync operations

Your communicator is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the standards for infrared communication established by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that you can beam data to any other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync operations. When you use the IR port on your communicator to perform HotSync operations, you don't need your HotSync cable. You simply enable infrared communication on your computer and your communicator and then perform an IR HotSync operation. So there's no need to carry your cable when you're on the road with an infrared-enabled laptop.

Preparing your computer for infrared communication

To perform an IR HotSync operation, the computer you want to synchronize with must have an enabled infrared port or be connected to an infrared device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards.

Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device attached to a physical COM port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR port. Your computer must also have an installed infrared driver.

Does your computer support infrared communication?

If your computer uses Microsoft Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows 2000, infrared communication is built into the operating system. Some versions of Windows 95 also have built-in infrared communication. If you are using another type of computer, check the documentation that came with your computer to see if it supports infrared communication.

Appendix A

Maintaining Your Communicator

This chapter provides information on the following:

■ Proper care of your Treo™ 180g communicator
■ Maximizing battery life
■ Resetting your communicator

Caring for your communicator

Your communicator is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service. Please observe the following general tips when using your communicator:

■ Take care not to scratch the screen of your communicator. Keep the screen clean. When working with your communicator, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on the surface of the communicator screen.
- Your communicator is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Under extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry through the front panel buttons. In general, treat your communicator as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
■ The touch-sensitive screen of your communicator contains a glass element. Take care not to drop your communicator or subject it to any strong impact. Do not carry your communicator in your back pocket: if you sit on it, the glass may break.
■ Protect your communicator from temperature extremes. Do not leave your communicator on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heaters and other heat sources.
■ Do not store or use your communicator in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.
■ Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your communicator. If the surface of the communicator screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.

Battery considerations

Please note the following considerations when using the rechargeable battery in your communicator:

• When wireless mode is on, your communicator battery should provide 60 hours of stand-by time, or 2.5 hours of talk time between charges. When you use your communicator in handheld mode and wireless mode is off, your communicator battery provides approximately three weeks of use between charges.
• You can conserve battery life by minimizing use of the backlight feature and by choosing a lower Auto-off setting which automatically turns the communicator off after a period of inactivity. See page 180 and page 18 for more information.

If the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert appears on the communication screen describing the low battery condition. If this alert appears, connect your communication to the HotSync cable or travel charger to charge the battery.

If the battery drains to the point where your communicator does not turn on, it stores your data safely for about three days. In this case, there is enough residual energy in the battery to store the data, but not enough to turn on your communicator. If your communicator does not turn on when you press the power button, you should charge the battery immediately.

If you leave a drained battery in your communicator for an extended period of time, you can lose all of the stored data. If this happens, charge the battery and use the reset button to reset your communicator as described in the next section. After you reset your communicator, perform a HotSync operation to restore the data from your computer.

Resetting your communicator

Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset button. On rare occasions, however, your communicator may no longer respond to buttons or the screen. In this case, you need to perform a reset to get your communicator running again.

Performing a soft reset

A soft reset tells your communicator to stop what it's doing and start over again. All records and entries stored in your communicator are retained with a soft reset. After a soft reset, the Welcome screen appears, followed by the General Preferences screen (to set time and date).

To perform a soft reset:

1. Unscrew the tip of the stylus to access the reset tool.

1. Use the reset tool to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the back panel of your communicator.

Tip: You can also use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip).

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter a problem with your Treo™ 180g communicator:

■ Review this section to see if your problem is listed
■ Check our web site at www.handspring.com for the latest technical support information

Note: Thousands of third-party add-on applications have been written for Palm OS ^® devices.

Unfortunately, we are not able to support such a large number of third-party applications.

If you are having a problem with a third-party application, please contact the developer or publisher of that software.

Software installation problems

Problem Solution

Palm™ Desktop software will not install successfully.

Disable any anti-virus software, close any open applications or utilities, and then perform the installation again.

If you are installing on a computer at your workplace, make sure your System Administrator grants you the rights to install software.

If you are still having problems installing the Handspring software, try these steps:

1. Download the latest version of the software from the Customer Support or Product Support section of www.handspring.com.
2. Restart your computer in "safe mode." In most versions of Windows you can do this by pressing F8 on the keyboard as the computer boots.
3. Install the file you downloaded in step 1. If the installation finishes, restart your computer in the normal operating mode and start using Palm Desktop software.

Operating problems

Problem Solution

My communicator won't turn on.	Try each of these in turn:■ Adjust the contrast settings.■ Make sure the battery is fully charged.■ Perform a soft reset. See page 212 for details.■ If your communicator still does not operate, try a hard reset. See page 213 for details.
My communicator keeps turning itself off.	Your communicator is designed to turn itself off after a period of inactivity. This period can be set at one, two, or three minutes. Check the Auto-off setting. See page 180 for details.
My communicator is not making any sounds.	■ Check the ringer switch setting on top of your communicator. The setting turns off all sounds on your communicator.■ Check the System Sound setting. See page 180 for details.
My communicator has frozen.	This is most commonly attributed to conflicts with third-party software. Try each of these in turn:■ Perform a soft reset. See page 212 for details.■ Delete any application you recently installed. See page 44 for details.■ Perform a warm reset. See page 213 for details.■ Perform a hard reset. See page 213 for details.
I don't see anything on my communicator's screen.	■ Adjust the contrast settings.■ Charge the battery.■ Perform a soft reset.

Tapping and writing problems

Problem Solution

When I tap the buttons or screen icons, it activates the wrong feature.

Calibrate the screen. See page 179 for details.

When I tap the Menu icon, nothing happens.

Not all applications or screens have menus. Try changing to a different application.

I can't get my communicator to recognize my handwriting.

■ For your communicator to recognize hand-writing input with the stylus, you need to use Graffiti® writing. See Chapter 2 for details.

■ Make the Graffiti character strokes in the Graffiti writing area, not on the display part of the screen.

■ Write Graffiti strokes for letters in the left-hand side, and the strokes for numbers in the right-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.

■ Make sure that Graffiti is not shifted into extended or punctuation modes. See page 33 and page 34 for details.

■ See page 31 for tips on increasing your accuracy when you write Graffiti characters.

Wireless communication problems

Problem Solution

I can't use the wireless features

■ Make sure your Treo battery is charged.

■ Make sure wireless mode is on. To turn on wireless mode, press and hold the power button for at least two seconds, until you hear a confirmation tone. An ascending tone means wireless mode is now on, a descending tone means wireless mode is now off.

I get a message that my SIM card is missing when I turn on my Treo

■ Make sure your SIM card is properly inserted. The metal contacts must face up on the inside of the SIM door, and the side with the corner cut must slide into the SIM slot first. For details, see the instructions in the Quick Reference guide.

- Your SIM card may be damaged. Contact your wireless service provider for a new card.

My Treo requires an unlocking code (PIN), but I didn't set one

- Your wireless service provider may have set the locking code before you received your Treo. Enter the default unlocking code (PIN) and then tap OK. In North America, the default unlocking code is usually 1234 or 1111. If this doesn't work, contact your wireless service provider.

Note: It is actually your SIM card that is locked, not your Treo.

■ If you see the UnblockPhone screen instead of the Unlock Phone screen, you entered the unlock code (PIN) incorrectly three times, and your Treo is now blocked. Contact your wireless service provider to obtain the unblock code. If you enter the unblockcode (PUK) incorrectly ten times, your SIM is permanently disabled.

I called my wireless service provider to activate my service, but wireless mode still doesn't work

Some wireless service providers require 24 hours or more to activate your wireless service. If it has been longer than your wireless service provider's activation period, report the problem to your wireless service provider.

My phone number isn't on the Phone Info screen

Your wireless service provider may need to install your phone number onto your SIM card. Contact your wireless service provider to see if they can send a message to your Treo that writes your phone number onto your SIM card.

My Treo won't register to the network	■ You are probably outside a network coverage area. Try using another GSM phone to verify whether coverage is available in your current location.■ If coverage is available in your location, try your SIM card in another GSM phone. If it still doesn't work, your SIM card may be malfunctioning. Contact your wireless service provider for another SIM card.■ Turn off the wireless mode on your communicator, and then turn it on again. If a dialog appears asking if you want to search for a network, tap Yes.
I tried dialing a phone number, but my Treo just beeps at me	■ Make sure you dialed the correct number.■ Wait a few minutes and try again. If the network is very busy, calls cannot connect.■ Verify that you are in a network coverage area and then move a few yards away and try the call again. If you are in a weak coverage area (1 bar of signal strength or less), you may not be able to complete calls even though you are registered to the network.
I can't dial international numbers	For security purposes, some wireless service providers require you to enable international calling on your account. Call your wireless service provider for details.
Call waiting doesn't work Enable	call waiting in the Call Preferences dialog. See the section that begins on page 100 for details. If the problem persists, contact your wireless service provider to confirm that this feature is available in your area.
Call forwarding doesn't work For security purposes, most wireless service providers require you to enable this feature on your account even though there is usually no extra charge. Call your wireless service provider to enable call forwarding.
Caller ID blocking for my outgoing calls doesn't work	Some wireless service providers require you to enable this feature on your account. Call your wireless service provider to enable blocking your Caller ID.
Some incoming caller's names don't appear in Call History	■ Find out if a caller has blocked their Caller ID.■ Call History does not show names for records you marked hidden in your Contacts list.

The Blazer® application won't connect to the Internet

■ Confirm that you wireless service plan includes data services and not just voice minutes.

- Check with your Internet Service Provider to confirm that your Network Preferences settings are properly configured.

1. Tap the Applications icon

2. Tap the Preferences icon

3. Select Network from the pick list in the upper-right corner.

4. Check your Username, Password, and the phone number. The phone number should be the number you use to dial-in to your ISP.

5. Tap Connect. If the Connect button changes to a Disconnect button after the connection dialogs finish, your Network Preferences settings are working. If the Connect button does not change, tap Details and enter DNS and IP address information for your Internet Service Provider.

Important: AOL users must download AOL for Palm from www.aol.com/ anywhere/ pda/ palm/ palmaol to retrieve e-mail. AOL does not support web browsing with Blazer.

Some phone numbers don't appear in the SMS Lookup

Make sure the number you want is identified as a mobile number in your Contacts list. Only mobile phone numbers and e-mail addresses appear when you use the SMS Message Manager Address by Last Name Lookup feature.

I can't send SMS messages

■ Make sure SMS services are enabled on your account by checking the SMS Preferences dialog to see if the SMS Message Center number is on this screen. If the number is missing, contact your wireless service provider for the SMS Message Center number and enter it in the SMS Preferences dialog.

Note: Receiving SMS messages does not indicate that you have a subscription to your wireless service provider's SMS service. You must subscribe to this service to send or reply to messages.

■ Verify that you are in a GSM coverage area.

■ Make sure the destination number is correct. Some wireless service providers require 11-digit phone numbers for SMS messages.

I get an error message when I send an SMS message to an email address

Make sure you have subscribed to and enabled the SMS Email feature. You need to get the SMS Email Center number from your wireless service provider and enter it in the SMS Preferences dialog. This number is different from the SMS Message Center number you use to send messages to other mobile phone numbers. See page 132 for details.

I get an error when sending a long message to myself

Some wireless service providers have difficulty sending long SMS messages to your own phone number. Try sending long messages as a series of smaller messages instead.

I get an error when making data calls

■ Check with your wireless service provider to make sure that data services are enabled on your account.

■ Verify that you are in a coverage area.

The SIM Book application won't open

Make sure your SIM card is inserted in your Treo and that wireless mode has been on for at least 30 seconds.

My SIM Book doesn't display the full name and number

When a name or number is longer than will fit in the SIM Book display, three dots appear to indicate that the entry contains additional information. SIM Book does not truncate the actual entry, it just does not appear on the screen.

Application problems

Problem Solution

I tapped the Today button, but it does not show the correct date.

I know I entered some records, but they do not appear in the application.

Your communicator is not set to the current date. Make sure the Set Date box in the General Preferences screen displays the current date. See page 22 and page 180 for details.

• Check the Categories pick list (upper-right corner of the screen). Choose All to display all of the records for the application.
  ■ Check Security and make sure that the Private Records setting is set to Show private records.
  ■ In To Do List, tap Show and check whether Show Only Due Items is selected.
  ■ If you cannot manually arrange the order of the memos in the list screen, check the Memo Preferences setting. Make sure that Sort by is set to Manual.
• If you choose to view your memos alphabetically on Palm Desktop software and then perform a HotSync® operation, the memos on your communicator still appear in the order defined in the Memo Preferences setting. In other words, the sort settings that you use with Palm Desktop software are not transferred to your communicator.

I am having problems listing memos the way I want to see them.

I created an event in Date Book Plus, but it doesn't appear in the Week View.

In the Week View, you cannot select overlapping events that have the same start time. If you have two or more events with the same start time, choose the Day View for the particular day to see the overlapping events.

HotSync problems

Problem Solution

Why can't I synchronize my communicator with my computer?

Try each of these in turn. After each step, try to synchronize to see if the problem persists:

■ Make sure you installed the software that came with your communicator. You must install this software even if you upgraded from another Palm OS handheld.
■ Make sure there are no active calls on your Treo before you begin a HotSync operation. You cannot synchronize while you have an active call, and you cannot make or receive calls during a HotSync operation.
■ Make sure you selected your user name in Palm Desktop software before beginning the HotSync operation.
■ Perform a soft reset. See page 212 for details.

■ Make sure the HotSync Manager icon 📂 appears in the Windows system tray in the lower-right corner of the screen. If it does not appear, open the Start menu, select Programs, Handspring, and then HotSync Manager.

- Click the HotSync Manager icon and make sure that the Local USB option has a check next to it. If you are using an optional serial cable, make sure that the Local Serial has a check next to it, then select Setup and confirm that the COM port setting matches the port where you attached the serial cable.

■ Make sure the cable is connected securely to your computer and your communicator.

- If you're using a USB cable, insert the Handspring CD into your computer, use Windows Explorer or My Computer to navigate to the Utilities folder, and then run the Visor USB registry utility.

■ Make sure you are using the correct type of cable. If your computer does not have a USB port, or is running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, you must use a serial cable.

■ If you are using a USB cable, disconnect any other USB devices you are using. If you're connecting your cable to a USB hub, disconnect it and connect your cable directly to your computer.

■ If you are using a serial cable, try a lower baud rate setting on the Local tab in the Setup dialog box.

■ Restart your computer.

■ If you installed a conduit from a third-party software developer, contact the developer for support.

I did a HotSync operation, but one of my applications did not synchronize.

I cannot launch the HotSync Manager.

I am using Outlook as my PIM, but I cannot do a HotSync operation.

I tried to do a wireless HotSync operation, but it did not complete successfully.

Click the HotSync Manager and choose Custom. Make sure that the conduit appears on the list and that it is set to Synchronize the files. See page 197 for details.

■ Make sure you are not running another program, such as America Online, CompuServe, or WinFax, that uses the port you selected in the Setup dialog box.
■ Reinstall the Palm Desktop software.
- Click the HotSync Manager and choose Custom. Check that the Outlook conduits are installed and active.
■ Reinstall the Palm Desktop software and make sure you select the option to synchronize with MS Outlook.

Check the following on your computer:

■ Make sure your computer is turned on and that it does not shut down automatically as part of an energy-saving feature.
■ Make sure the modem connected to your computer is turned on and is connected to the outgoing phone line.
■ Make sure Modem is checked in the HotSync Manager menu.
■ Make sure the modem you are using with your communicator has an on-off switch. Your communicator cannot “wake up” a modem that has an auto-off feature.
■ Make sure the modem is connected properly to a serial port on your computer and is connected to the incoming phone line.
- Confirm that the Setup String in the Setup dialog box configures your modem correctly. You may need to select a different Modem Type or enter a custom Setup String. Most modems have a Setup String that causes them to send initial connection sounds to a speaker. You can use these sounds to check the modem connection.
■ Confirm that the Speed setting in the Setup dialog box works for your modem.
■ If you have problems using the As Fast As Possible option or a specific speed, try using a slower speed.
■ Make sure you are not running another program, such as WinFax, CompuServe, or America Online, that uses the serial port you selected in the Setup dialog box.
■ Make sure your modem resets before you try again. (Turn off your modem, wait a minute, then turn it back on.)

I tried to do a wireless HotSync operation, but it did not complete successfully. (continued)

Check the following on your communicator:

■ Confirm that you are inside a coverage area, and that the signal is strong.
■ Make sure the dialing instruction dials the correct phone number.
■ If you need to dial an outside line prefix, make sure you selected the Dial Prefix option on your communicator and entered the correct code.
■ If the you have call waiting, make sure you selected the Disable call waiting check box and entered the correct code in the Phone Setup dialog box. See page 204 for details.
■ Make sure the connection is clear. Using a noisy connection can interrupt communications.

Beaming problems

Problem Solution

I cannot beam data to another IR-equipped Palm OS device.

• Confirm that your communicator and the other device are between ten centimeters (approximately 4") and one meter (approximately 39") apart, and that the path between the two devices is clear of obstacles. Beaming distance to other Palm OS devices may be different.
• Check the General Preferences screen and make sure the Beam Receive setting is on.
  ■ Move your communicator closer to the receiving device.
  ■ Move your communicator farther away from the receiving device.
  ■ Angle the sides of the two devices towards each other.
  ■ Perform a soft reset. See page 212 for details.
• Your communicator requires at least twice the amount of memory available as the data you are receiving. For example, if you are receiving a 30K application, you must have at least 60K free.
  ■ Perform a soft reset. See page 212 for details.

When someone beams data to my communicator, I get a message telling me it is out of memory.

Password problems

Problem Solution

I forgot the password, and my communicator is not locked.

You can use Security to delete the password. If you do this, your communicator deletes all entries marked as private. You can, however, perform a HotSync operation before you delete the password: the HotSync process backs up all entries, whether or not they are marked private. In this case, the following procedure restores your private entries and lets you access them:

1. Use the Palm Desktop software and the cable to synchronize your data.
2. Tap Forgotten Password in Security to remove the password and delete all private records.
3. Perform a HotSync operation to synchronize your data and restore the private records by transferring them from your computer to your communicator.

I forgot the password and my communicator is locked.

If you assign a password and lock your communicator, you must perform a hard reset to continue using your communicator. See page 213 for details.

Appendix C

Creating a Custom Expense Report

This section explains how to modify existing Expense application templates and how to create your own custom expense report templates for use with the Expense application.

Note: This section assumes that you are familiar with Microsoft Excel or a similar spreadsheet application. If you are not familiar with Microsoft Excel, consult your company's Information Services department or another experienced user.

About mapping tables

Before creating or modifying an Expense template, it's important to understand the function of the Palm™ Desktop software Expense application. In simple terms, the Expense application moves Expense data from your communicator into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

Each Expense item stored in your communicator represents a group of related data. You can link the following data to an expense item:

Category

■ Payment Method

City

Date

■ Payment Currency

■ Attendees

- Expense Type

■ Vendor

Note

■ Amount

When you perform a HotSync® operation between your communicator and Palm Desktop software on your computer, the Expense data is stored on your computer (in a file named Expense.txt). When you open the Expense application in Palm Desktop software, an Excel macro starts, and populates an expense template with your data based on the rules specified in a spreadsheet file named Maptable.xls.

The Maptable.xls file is an editable spreadsheet that functions as a "mapping table." The function of the mapping table is to guide the Excel macro in extracting the Expense data. The mapping table tells the Excel macro how large the spreadsheet is and provides the data-cell layout of the Excel template used for the Expense Report.

Customizing existing sample templates

Four sample Expense Report templates come with Palm Desktop software. These templates are stored in the Template folder (which is in the same folder as the Palm Desktop software application).

If the layout of one (or more) of these templates is appropriate for your reporting needs, you can easily customize the templates with your company name and other information.

To customize a sample Expense Report template:

1. Make a backup copy of the contents of the Template folder.

1. Double-click the name of the sample template you want to modify to open it in Microsoft Excel.
2. Make any changes that you want to the names (or other information) in the sample template.

Important: Do not insert rows or columns in the sample template. Doing so changes the way your Expense data maps to the template and causes errors. If you want to move the cells to a different location or add or delete rows or columns, you have to make changes to the Maptable.xls file.

Note: You can insert your own company logo without changing the Maptable.xls file. If you change the file name, however, you need to make a corresponding change in the Maptable.xls file.

You can also rename cells without changing the Maptable.xls file, provided that the expense type corresponds to your communicator data. For example, you can change "Snack" to "Munchies," and then all items entered on your communicator as "Snack" map to the cell(s) labeled "Munchies."

1. From the File menu, choose Save As.
2. Click the Save as type drop-down list and choose Template (*.xlt).
3. Navigate to the Template folder (in the Palm Desktop software directory).

Note: If you do not need to change the Maptable.xls file, save the template file with its original file name (e.g., Sample2.xlt).

If you do need to change the Maptable.xls file, give your modified template a unique name. Be sure to use the .xlt file suffix, which defines the file as a Microsoft Excel template.

1. Click Save to save your modified template and make it available for future use.

Note: If you need to modify the Maptable.xls file, you must do this before you can use the modified template with your Expense data. To modify the Maptable.xls file for your new template, see page 230 for details. Read all of the sections of this appendix before making changes to the Maptable.xls file.

Determining the layout of the Expense Report

This section describes the layout considerations for the Expense Report and explains the terms used for creating the report.

Labels

There are two kinds of labels that you need to define for your report: day/ date and expense type. Each kind of label can be either Fixed or Variable. A Fixed label means that the label always appears as a header at the beginning of a row or column. If a label is not Fixed, it is variable.

For example, a list table of expenses could have variable labels in the rows for day/ date, and variable labels in the columns for expense type. In this case, neither day/ date or expense type information would be “fixed” (as a header). Instead, the date and expense type information would be filled into the cells of the spreadsheet as appropriate.

Examples of both Fixed and Variable labels appear in the sample expense templates.

Sections

A Section is an area of the report that has common formatting. It is common for an Expense report to have more than one Section. For example, the following sample Expense Report named Sample3.xlt contains several Sections.

Because your Expense data maps to row and column areas of your final report, different Sections require different definitions for the data mapping. To create additional Sections with different mapping, you create corresponding additional lines to the mapping table file named Maptable.xls. This procedure is explained later in this appendix.

If a section contains cells for prepaid (company paid) expenses, you need to create an additional line in the mapping table for “prepaid.” This will count as an additional section in the mapping table. The only data that differs in the prepaid section (from the non-prepaid section) is the row/ column numbers for the expense type.

Analyzing your custom Expense Report

If you already have a custom Excel expense report, you can use it with a modified mapping table. However, before you can create a Maptable.xls file that corresponds to your custom Expense Report, you must first analyze the characteristics of your report.

Perform the following before you begin a custom mapping table:

• Print a copy of your custom expense report. Activate the Row and Column Headings option in the Sheet settings of the Page Setup command. This enables you to quickly determine the size of the Section(s), as well as the numbers for the start rows and columns.
• On the printed copy, identify the data Sections. A Section is an area of data with common row and column formatting. A yellow highlighter marking pen can make it easy to see the Sections as you work with programming the mapping table. Your custom Expense Report can contain any number of Sections, and the same data can be repeated in any Section.
• On the printed copy, identify the type of Labels that apply to each Section. Each Section can have only one kind of Fixed or Variable Label for rows. Likewise, each Section can have only one kind of Fixed or Variable Label for columns.
• Place a copy of your custom Expense Report in the Template folder (in the Palm Desktop software directory). Change the file name so it has the file extension .xlt (which defines it as a Microsoft Excel template). Make a note of the exact file name so it can be defined in the mapping table file.

Programming the mapping table

Once you have analyzed the components of your custom Expense Report, you can program the mapping table to fill the report with data from the communicator.

To program a new custom mapping table:

1. Open a copy of the Maptable.xls file in Microsoft Excel.

Note: This file is located in the same folder as the Palm Desktop software application. Make a backup copy of this file before you make your modifications.

1. Mapping a new template. Scroll to where you find the name of the original template that you chose for your modifications. The name of the template will appear in column B of the Maptable.xls file, next to the cell highlighted in green that reads "Template Name:". If you did not modify an existing template, move to any table in the Maptable.xls file.

2. Select all the rows associated with the template name. To select the rows, click and drag on the row numbers (left side), so they appear highlighted.

1. From the Edit menu, choose Copy.

2. Scroll down to a blank area of the Maptable.xls file (below the rows used for Sample4.xlt), and click on a row number to select a blank row.

3. From the Edit menu, choose Paste. A copy of the rows you selected in step 3 is pasted into the Maptable.xls file.

4. Name the table. In the cell immediately to the right of the cell entitled Template Name, enter the exact file name of your custom Expense Report template.

5. Define the number of Sections. Each row in a table defines how your communicator data will be placed in a Section of your custom Expense Report. Note that the prepaid portion of a section has its own row and counts as a separate section for map table purposes, even though it is not a separate section in your template.

22	Template Name	SAMPLE3.XLT
23		ROW
24		Fixed Label
25		Day/Date	Expense Type
26	Main (PREPAID)		×
27	Main		×
28	Business Meals & Entertainment
29	Mileage Log

You may add or delete rows as necessary so that the total number of rows corresponds to the number of Sections in your custom Expense Report. To clear all of the existing settings in a row, click to select the row and press Ctrl+Delete. Name each row to correspond to a Section of your custom Expense Report.

1. Determine the Label settings. The orientation of the data fields (Row, Column) appears in the yellow section of the table.

FAMPEL1_XLT
ROW				COLUMN
Fixed Label		Variable Label by		Fixed Label		Variable Label by
Day/Date	Expense Type	Day/Date×	Expense Type	Day/Date	Expense Type	Day/Date	Expense Type×

Determine whether the Rows will contain expense or date information, and place an "x" in the appropriate cell. When you do this, you also define whether the label is Fixed or Variable. You can place only one "x" in the Row section (columns 2–5).

Determine whether the Columns will contain expense or date information, and place an "x" in the appropriate cell. When you do this, you also define whether the label is Fixed or Variable. You can place only one "x" in the Column section (columns 6–9).

1. Define the dimensions of the Section. The dimensions of the Section appear in the green columns (10–13).

# of Hanes	# of Catharons	Nirati Hanes	Nirati Catharons
36		12	1

# of

Rows

Represents the total number of rows in the Section, excluding any header or total rows. In other words, this includes only the number of rows in the Section where your communicator data will be placed.

# of

Columns

Represents the total number of columns in the Section, excluding any header or total columns. In other words, this includes only the number of columns in the Section where your communicator data will be placed.

Start Row Is the number of the first row of the Section that will be filled with your communicator data.

Start

Column

Is the number of the first column of the Section that will be filled with your communicator data.

1. Define the Dates and Intervals. The dates and intervals between dates appears in the light blue columns (14–17).

Date	Intervals Between
Date	Dates	Start day	Day
1	0

In the Date cell, enter the row or column number where all the date information will be placed.

In the Dates cell, enter the number of blank columns (or rows) separating the date fields. If there are no blank columns (or rows) between date entries, leave this number set to zero.

In the Start Day cell, enter the day of the week that starts the expense reporting period. Enter a three-character abbreviation for the day (e.g., Sun, Mon, Tue).

In the Day cell, enter the row or column number where all the day information will be placed. If the dates are in a row or in a column, enter the row or column number.

1. Define whether the Section is in list format. This setting appears in the light purple columns (18–19).

Listing Format	Expense Type
YES	B

If the Section will present the data in a list format, enter the word "yes". Otherwise, enter the word "no". The following diagram shows data presented in a list format:

6	Date	Category	Type	Amount	Country	Payment Type
7
8
9
10
11

Only if your section is in list format: In the Expense Type cell, enter the number of the row or column where the expense description will be placed. Expense amounts can be entered in several different columns or rows if required by your template. Expense type labels must all appear in the same column.

1. Enter the row or column numbers for the expense types that appear in the Section. These settings appear in the aqua columns (20–48).

Expense Topics
Airfare	Breakfast	Bus	Business Meals	Car Rental	Dennis
4	6	4	4	4	4

For these settings, simply enter the row or column number for the expense types that you want to appear in the Section. Note that the same row or column number can be used more than once. An example of this would be meals that encompass breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. In the previous example, all expense items would be populated into row/ column 4 of the custom Expense Report.

1. Complete the table. All of the remaining columns (49–57) in the table are used to define the column or row number that corresponds to the description.

2. Mark a Section for prepaid expenses (yellow column). If a row in the map table is for prepaid (company paid) expenses, type a "yes" in the cell on that Section's row. Type "no" in all the cells of this column that do not pertain to prepaid expenses.

1. Repeat steps 9 through 15 for each Section you defined for your custom Expense Report.

2. Map Expense Report Options dialog (magenta section). The Expense Report Options dialog has five fields where you can fill in data for the header on your expense report. Use this section to specify the row and column on your template where this information is mapped.

Employee Name		Department
Headset ID Name	Headset ID Call	Headset ID Phone	Headset ID Call
2	5	2	9

Because header data is not related to any particular Section, you have to fill in only one row. If the item does not appear on your template, leave these cells blank.

Using applications other than Microsoft Excel

You can use applications other than Microsoft Excel (such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Quattro Pro) to open and manipulate the Expense data on your computer. The data file is named "Expense.txt," and is stored in the Expense folder, within the folder containing the communicator user data.

Expense data in the Expense.txt file is in tab-delimited format.

Expense file details

The Expense.txt file contains four groups of data. It will be easier to see these four distinct groups of data if you open the file with a spreadsheet application.

Trips Shows the number of Expense application categories, and lists each one followed by an “end” statement.

Currency Shows how many currencies were used for the Expense data, and lists the countries that correspond to that currency.

Trip Shows the number of expenses by category, and lists the expenses for each category.

Expenses Shows the total number of expenses, and lists them chronologically.

The following information enables you to create custom login scripts that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom login script.

Use of ^ char

You may use the caret (^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^ char, and the ASCII value of charis between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31.

For example, ^ M is converted to a carriage return. If char is a value between a and z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing.

For example, the string "Joe^ M" transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.

Carriage return and line feed

You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the login script, when entered in the following format:

<cr> Sends or receives a carriage return
<lf> Sends or receives a line feed 

For example, the string "waitfor Joe" waits to receive Joe followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before executing the next command in the script.

Literal characters

The backslash (\ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character.

Examples:

\^ Includes a caret as part of the string
\< Includes a < as part of the string
\\ Includes a backslash as part of the string 

Appendix E

Advanced Call Forwarding Options

Some wireless service providers support advanced call forwarding options through the use of GSM feature codes. These advanced call forwarding options are turned on and off and configured by dialing specific code numbers with your communicator.

Note: Not all wireless service providers support all of these codes. Contact your wireless service provider for more information about which services are available to you.

To use the advanced call forwarding options:

1. Open the lid, or if you are in another application, press the PhoneBook application button on the front of your communicator.

1. Tap the Dial Pad icon .

2. Enter one of the codes from the charts that follow.

Note: Where the charts indicates to enter a number_to_forward_to, enter a full phone number with a "1" and an area code if necessary. For example, you would use *67*16505551234# for the first code in the first chart.

1. Tap the onscreen Handset button to send the command.

Forwarding calls when your communicator is busy

Code What it does

*67*number_to_forward_to#

Forwards all calls you receive while you are busy on another call to the number you entered. This option typically forwards calls when you ignore a call, when you are on a wireless data call, or when you already have two active calls. You can still answer call waiting calls.

*#67# Reports whether you activated the call forwarding when busy option.

67# Deactivates call forwarding when busy, and the network stores the number to which you were forwarding calls.

*67# Reactivates the call forwarding when busy option, and uses the number stored on the network when you deactivated this option with the #67# code.

67# Deactivates call forwarding when busy, and the network erases the number to which you were forwarding calls.

Forwarding calls that you do not answer

Code What it does

*61*number_to_forward_to# Forwards all calls you receive and do not answer. This option is similar to the way that voicemail typically works.

*#61# Reports whether or not you activated the call forwarding for calls you do not answer option.

61# Deactivates the call forwarding for calls you do not answer option, and the network stores the number to which you were forwarding calls.

*61# Reactivates the call forwarding for calls you do not answer option, and uses the number stored on the network when you deactivated this option with the #61# code.

61# Deactivates the call forwarding for calls you do not answer option, and the network erases the number to which you were forwarding calls.

Forwarding calls when your communicator is unreachable

Code What it does

*62*number_to_forward_to# Forwards all calls you receive when your communicator is unreachable. This option typically forwards calls when wireless mode is off or your communicator is outside a coverage area.

*#62# Reports whether you activated the call forwarding for calls when your communicator is unreachable option.

62# Deactivates the call forwarding for calls when your communicator is unreachable option, and the network stores the number to which you were forwarding calls.

*62# Reactivates the call forwarding for calls when your communicator is unreachable option, and uses the number stored on the network when you deactivated this option with the #62# code.

62# Deactivates the call forwarding for calls when your communicator is unreachable option, and the network erases the number to which you were forwarding calls.

General Commands

Code What it does

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Canadian RFI Statement

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

Safety and General Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. Read this information before using your integrated multi-service portable radio.

For the Safe and Efficient Operation of Your Radio, Observe These Guidelines

Your radio product contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio operates in the frequency range of 800 MHz to 1990 MHz and employs digital modulation techniques. When you use your radio, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your radio transmits. The output power level typically may vary over a range from .001 Watts to 2 Watts.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Your Treo is designed to comply with national and international standards, including United States Federal Communications Commission, OET Bulletin 65 supplement C; American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992; Cenelec EN 50360; and Industrie Canada RF exposure guidelines.

In order to comply with FCC RF exposure safety guidelines users MUST use a Handspring brand body-worn accessory during body-worn operation. Use of accessories not provided by Handspring or that have not been tested for RF exposure compliance with this product may not comply with the FCC RF exposure safety guidelines and should not be used.

To assure optimal radio performance, always adhere to the following procedures:

■ When placing or receiving a phone call hold the radio as you would a telephone.
■ Speak directly into the microphone and position the antenna up over your shoulder.
■ DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is "IN USE." Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio to operate at a higher power level than needed.

Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices

Most, but not all, electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals and certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your Treo communicator.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6") be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by the recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers should:

■ ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
■ NOT carry the phone in a breast pocket.
■ Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
■ Turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Audio Safety

Some hearing aids may be affected by some digital wireless phones. You may want to consult your doctor in the event of you experience interference with your hearing aid while using Treo. When using the speakerphone feature, it is recommended that you place Treo at a safe distance from your ear.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Interference to Other Electronic Devices

RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.

Safety and General Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the area where you drive. Always obey them.

When using the phone while driving, please:

■ Give full attention to driving and to the road
■ Use hands-free operation, if available

■ Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Aircraft Safety

Turn your radio OFF before boarding any aircraft to prevent possible interference to aircraft systems. Regulations of the United States Federal Aviation Administration prohibit use when the aircraft is in the air and require you have permission from a crew member to use your radio while the aircraft is one the ground.

Non-ionizing Radiation

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of the personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come to close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.

General Safety Information

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised to heed all posted warnings on the use and operation of Treo and to turn off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as fueling stations, even where no warnings or notices are posted.

Emergency Calls

IMPORTANT! The Treo communications features operate using radio signals, like any wireless phone, wireless and landline networks, and user-programmed functions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon Treo for essential communications (for example, medical emergencies).

Remember, the phone feature must be on in order to make or receive calls and you must be in a service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.
