Inserting the SIM card and battery
Your SIM card contains account information such as your phone number
and voicemail access number. To use your smartphone's phone, email, or web features, you need to insert a SIM card. If a SIM card is not included in your smartphone box, your network operator will provide you with one.
To take advantage of the high-speed data connection available on your smartphone, you need to have a 3G SIM card. A 3G SIM card has "3G" on it.
Tip If you don't have a SIM card, contact your network operator.
1 Holding your smartphone screen side down, use two or more fingers to press firmly against the battery door while pulling downward to release it, and then slide the door off the back of your smartphone.

2 If the battery is installed, remove it. Slide your finger under the left side of the battery and lift up to remove it.
3 With the metal contacts facing the battery compartment, slide the SIM card into the cutout in the lower-left corner of the compartment until you feel the card click into place. Align the notches to make sure you have the card oriented correctly.

4 Align the metal contacts on the battery with the contacts inside the battery compartment, insert the battery into the compartment at a 45-degree angle, and then press it into place.

5 Slide the battery door back into place.
6 Press and hold Power until the Palm® logo appears.
Tip If your smartphone does not turn on after you insert the battery, you need to connect it to the AC charger to charge it (see Charging the battery). If it still doesn't start, perform a soft reset (see Performing a soft reset).
7 Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the installation.
8 If your SIM card is not already activated, follow the activation steps provided by your network operator, or contact your network operator directly for assistance. If you plan to use email and web browsing, you need a data service
plan from your network operator in addition to your service contract. You may also need a data service plan to send and receive multimedia messages.
Tip You can buy an extra battery as a spare for long airplane trips or periods of heavy data use. To ensure proper functioning and avoid nullifying the warranty, be sure to use batteries from Palm only. Visit palm.com.
Charging the battery
Although the battery may come with a sufficient charge to complete the setup process, we recommend that after setup you charge your smartphone for three hours (or until the indicator light is solid green) to give it a full charge. See Maximising battery life for tips on making your battery's power last longer.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure the battery is inserted in your smartphone before you charge. If you connect your smartphone to a power source without the battery inserted, nothing happens.
1 Prepare the AC charger by inserting the adapter that fits the wall outlet you're going to use.
2 Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.
3 Connect the charger cable to the bottom of your smartphone.

4 Check the indicator light to confirm that your smartphone is charging.
- Solid red indicates that your smartphone is charging.
- Solid green indicates that your smartphone is fully charged.
DID YOU KNOW? If the battery is low, the indicator light flashes red.
When your smartphone is on (see Turning your Palm® Treo™ 500v smartphone on/off), the onscreen battery icon displays the charging status:

This icon indicates that the battery is being charged.

This icon indicates that the battery is fully charged.

This icon indicates that the battery needs to be charged immediately.

Battery icon
DID YOU KNOW? If your battery ever becomes fully drained, your info remains safely stored on your smartphone. Recharge the battery to access your info.
Tip You can also charge your smartphone from your computer by connecting them with the sync cable.
Maximising battery life
Battery life depends on how you use your smartphone. You can maximise the life of your battery by following a few easy guidelines:
- Charge your smartphone whenever you're at your desk, or charge it overnight each day. The battery in your smartphone has a much longer useful life if you charge it frequently instead of waiting until it's fully drained.
- If you spend a lot of time using the camera, games, media players (including listening to music with wireless headphones using the built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology), or other applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.
- The wireless features (phone, email, messaging, instant messaging, and web) on your smartphone generally consume more power than the organiser features. If you don't plan to use the wireless features on your smartphone for a while, turn off your wireless services (see Turning wireless services on/off). You can forward calls
to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see Forwarding calls). To see if your wireless services are on, press Power 公 and select Wireless Manager.
If you are synchronising email and other information directly with your corporate Exchange server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, set the synchronisation interval to a maximum of every 15 minutes during peak times and every hour (or turned off completely) during non-peak times (see Setting the synchronisation schedule).
- Turn off the Bluetooth feature when you do not need to make a Bluetooth connection (see Entering basic Bluetooth settings).
- As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your smartphone searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, temporarily turn off your phone (see Turning your phone off).
Tip When your phone is on, press Power to display a list of options from which you can quickly turn off the phone (see Turning your phone off), silence the ringer (see Selecting a sound profile), and more.
- Turn down the screen brightness (see Adjusting the brightness).
- Set your screen to turn off automatically after a shorter period of inactivity (see Optimising power settings).
- Turn off the option to receive beamed information using Bluetooth technology (see Beaming an entry or file).
If you use Internet Connection Sharing to connect to the Internet, make a connection to your computer using the USB sync cable instead of wirelessly using Bluetooth technology (see Using your device as a wireless modem). -
Keep your battery away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Temperatures over 50 degrees Celsius can permanently reduce the capacity and life span of any lithium-ion battery.
-
Charge your battery at a comfortable room temperature. Charging your battery in cold temperatures results in lower usable charge capacity.
Making your first call
1 Press Home to display your Homescreen.

Tip You can also press End to display your Home screen, unless you are on a call. If you are on a call, pressing End hangs up the call.
2 Using the numbered keys (and the +, *, and # keys, if necessary) on the keyboard, enter a phone number.

3 Press Phone/Send to dial.
4 When your call is complete, press End to end the call.
Adjusting call volume
While a call is in progress, press the Volume button on the side of your smartphone to adjust the call volume.

What's my number?
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure your phone is on (see Turning your phone on).
1 Press Home , and then press Start (left softkey).
2 Navigate to the My Settings content list and press All Settings (right softkey).
3 Select Phone, and then select Call Options.
Look here for your phone number

4 Press Done (left softkey).
Tip If your phone number doesn't appear on the Call Options screen, your network has not yet sent the number to the SIM card (this does not affect SIM card functionality). Turn your phone off, wait a few hours, and then turn on your phone and repeat these steps. If your phone number still does not appear, contact your network operator for assistance.
Setting up synchronisation
After you've finished setting up your smartphone, we recommend that you set up a synchronisation method to get the most out of your smartphone.
Synchronising means that information that has been entered or updated in one place—your smartphone, your computer, or your corporate server—is automatically updated in the other (see Synchronising information).
Moving around on your Palm® Treo™ 500v smartphone
Have you ever been to a new city and felt a bit lost until you figured out the streets? Learning to move around on your Palm® Treo™ 500v smartphone is similar. Most applications that work on your smartphone use the same set of controls. So once you learn how to use these controls, you'll be driving all over town and you won't even need a map.
Benefits
-
Quickly move around and complete tasks in applications using one thumb on the 5-way navigator
-
Access extra features with menus
Find and open applications quickly
In this chapter
Navigating around the screen 27
Using the keyboard 33
Opening and closing applications. 36
Using your Home screen 39
Navigating around the screen
Using the 5-way, press Right , Left , Up , or Down to move around the screen. Press Centre to highlight and select items.
To navigate around the smartphone screen, you use the 5-way navigator. As you become familiar with your smartphone, you'll find your own favourite way to scroll, highlight, and select items.
Tip The arrow icons that indicate directions on the 5-way are different from the onscreen arrows that indicate that a list is available (see Selecting options in a list).

Scrolling through screens
As on a computer, on your smartphone you scroll to move from field to field or page to page, or in some cases to highlight an item or option in a list. There are several methods of scrolling:
Use the 5-way on the front of your smartphone. Press Right, Left, Up ▲, or Down to move to the next field, button, or action in that direction.
Tip If a scroll bar appears on the right side of a screen, this indicates that more options are available than what is shown on the screen. Press Up or Down on the 5-way to display additional options.

- When inside a text field, press Right or Left to move to the next character, and press Up or Down to move between lines.
- When inside a list, press and hold Up or Down to rapidly scroll through the list.
Closing screens
To accept the information you entered on a screen and to return to the previous screen—or to return to the previous screen without making any changes—press Back
Highlighting and selecting items
On most screens, one item—an icon, a list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by default. The highlight identifies which item is affected by your next action. Use the 5-way to move the highlight from one item to another before opening or selecting it.
Tip The best way to learn to use the 5-way is to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons, and as you do, follow the movement of the border around the screen. The behaviour of the 5-way varies slightly in each application.
The highlight can take one of two forms, depending on what is highlighted:
- Border: This rectangular border highlights items such as a text-entry field, a check box, an option, or a web link.

Light text on a dark background: This highlights items such as a phone number, an email address, or an item in a menu or a list.

After highlighting an item with the 5-way, select or activate it by pressing Centre
Using the softkeys
Left softkey activates this command Left softkey

Right softkey activates this command Right softkey
The left and right softkeys give you quick access to tasks that you can do on the current screen, so the softkey items vary from application to application and from screen to screen. Look on the screen directly above the softkey to see the action that it takes in the current context. In some contexts, these keys may do nothing at all. In most cases the right softkey [ ] opens the menu, and the left softkey [ ] activates a specific command, such as New or Done. Remember that softkey functions vary from screen to screen, so be sure to check the onscreen label before pressing the softkeys.
Selecting menu items
In many applications, a menu provides access to additional features. The menu is hidden until you press Menu (right softkey). To get the most out of your smartphone, it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the additional features available through the menu in various applications.
1 Press Menu (right softkey) to display an application's menu.

2 Press Up ▲ or Down ▼ to highlight a menu item.
3 If an arrow appears at the top or bottom of the displayed menu items, press Up or Down to view additional items.
4 If an arrow appears next to a menu item, press Centre or Right to display additional options for that item, and then press Up or Down to highlight a menu item. To return to the original menu without making a selection, press Left.

5 Press Centre to select the menu item, or press Left or Menu (right softkey) to close the menu and cancel your selection.
DID YOU KNOW? You can select most menu items by pressing a key on the keyboard. To quickly access a menu item, press Menu (right softkey) followed by the underlined letter in the menu item's name.
Selecting options in a list
If a rectangle appears around a field and the field contains both a right- and a left-pointing arrow, a list is available. On most screens, the rectangle does not appear until you navigate to the field using the 5-way.

Tip Fields that display a right arrow only do not contain list items. These are either text-entry fields (see Using text-entry fields), or selection fields (for example, the Attendees field in Calendar or the Categories field in Contacts or Tasks). In a selection field, press Centre or Right to view additional options.
NOTE A list is available for the Subject field in Calendar and Tasks, even though this field does not display arrows.
Lists are different from the menus described earlier in this section.
To select from a list, do any of the following:
Use the 5-way to highlight the field, and then press Centre to display the items in the list. Press Up or Down to highlight the item you want, and then press Centre to make your selection.


- With the field highlighted, press Right or Left to scroll through the options until the one you want appears. This works with all list fields except the Subject field in Calendar and Tasks. In that field, you can press Centre to display list items.
Using the keyboard

Use the keyboard to enter text and other symbols in many applications on your smartphone, as well as to dial phone numbers (see Using your Home screen).
NOTE Depending on your region, your keyboard layout may be different from the one shown above.
Understanding the keyboard backlight
Your smartphone includes a keyboard backlight for low light conditions. The keyboard backlight activates automatically when the screen turns on. The backlight turns off automatically when the screen turns off or when you are on a call or playing music in the background for longer than the time specified in Backlight Settings. You can set different time intervals depending on whether the smartphone is operating on battery power or is connected to an external power source. The backlight also turns off when an application's power-saving features turn it off.
Tip You can change the backlight shut-off interval. Press Home, press Start (left softkey), navigate to the My Settings content list, and then press All Settings (right softkey). Select More, and then select Power Management. Use the two Backlight time out on... lists to specify how long the backlight stays on.
Using text-entry fields
In applications such as Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks, text-entry fields are designated by a rectangle around the field. On most screens, the rectangle does not appear until you navigate to the field using the 5-way. To enter text in a field, highlight the field and use the keyboard to enter text.
Some text-entry fields—for example, the Street field in Contacts or the Notes field in Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks—display a right-pointing arrow. In these fields, press Centre or Right to open a text-entry screen that allows you to enter more than one line of text.
The address and subject lines in an email, text, or multimedia message you compose, as well as the message body, are also text-entry fields.
Tip Some fields that display a right arrow-for example, the Attendees field in Calendar or the Categories field in Contacts or Tasks-are selection fields, not text-entry fields. In a selection field, press Centre or Right to view additional options.
Tip If a field displays both a right and a left arrow, it is not a text-entry field. Instead, it is a field for which a list is available (see Selecting options in a list).
Entering lowercase and uppercase letters
By default, the first letter of each sentence or field is capitalised and the remaining text you enter is lowercase. In some cases, the initial capital letter does not appear until after you finish typing the first word and press Space or Enter
To enter other uppercase letters, do one of the following:
-
Press Shift (, ) and enter a letter. You don't need to press and hold Shift while entering a letter.
-
Press Shift twice to turn on Caps Lock, and then enter a series of letters. When Caps Lock is on, this symbol appears at the bottom of the screen: ABC. To turn off Caps Lock, press Shift again.
Entering numbers, punctuation, and symbols
Numbers, punctuation, and symbols appear above the letters on the keys. To enter these characters, do one of the following:
- Press Option , and then press the key of the desired character. You don't need to hold Option while pressing the key.
- Press Option twice to turn on Option Lock, and then press the desired keys to enter a series of characters. When Option Lock is on, this symbol appears at the bottom of the screen: 123. To turn off Option Lock, press Option again.
Entering other symbols and accented characters
You can enter symbols and accented characters that don't appear on the keys by using the alternative character list.
1 Press Alt to display the alternative character list.
2 Press Prev (left softkey) or Next (right softkey) to scroll through the alternative character screens.
3 When the character you want appears on the screen, use the 5-way to highlight the character.

4 Press Centre to insert the character.
Tip To quickly view the most commonly used accented characters, press Alt and then press Prev (left softkey).
Entering passwords
You can't see your password as you enter it, so be careful. Be sure Caps Lock and Option Lock are not on unless you need them. For info on how to enter characters, see Entering lowercase and uppercase letters and Entering numbers, punctuation, and symbols.

Making calls from the Home screen
Your smartphone offers several ways to make phone calls from the Home screen.
Dialling from the Home screen
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure your phone is on and that you're inside a coverage area (see Turning your phone on).
1 Press Home
2 Using the numbered keys (and the +, and # keys, if needed) on the keyboard, enter a phone number.

DID YOU KNOW? When you're on a call, you can enter ^+ *, or # without first pressing Option. You can also press P to pause. This makes it easy to respond to further dialling instructions.
3 Press Phone/Send to dial.
NOTE You do not need to press Option to access the numbers on the keyboard. However, when dialling short numbers, the number may conflict with a contact name. If this occurs, press Option to avoid starting a contact lookup. For emergencies, you can dial your national emergency number (such as 999 or 112) without pressing Option first.
Tip If you lock your smartphone and select Simple PIN as the password type, you can dial an emergency number by entering the number in the password field and pressing Phone/Send. You do not need to press Option before entering the number. However, if you select Strong alphanumeric as the password type, you must first press Option twice before entering the number in the password field. See Locking your smartphone.
Dialling by contact name
You can look up contacts quickly by entering just a few letters of a contact's name directly from your Home screen.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
- Before you can dial a number by contact name, you must create some contacts (see Adding a contact.) or import them by synchronising (see Synchronising information).
Make sure your phone is on and that you're inside a coverage area (see Turning your phone on).
1 Press Home
2 Using the keyboard, begin entering one of the following for the contact you want to call:

-
First name (JOH for John)
-
Last name (SMI for Smith)
- First initial, a space, and then last initial (J S for John Smith)
- A few letters of the first name, a space, and then a few letters of the last name (JOH SMI for John Smith)
For example, entering SM finds both Smilla Anderson and John Smith. Entering SM AN finds only Smilla Anderson.
Tip You can type letters from the last name first; for example, typing "S J" or "Smi Joh" also finds "John Smith."
DID YOU KNOW? The search function offers several features that make it easy to find the contact you want, even if you are not sure of the exact name: 1) Search results include name variations, such as "David" for "Dave." 2) The search function inserts a space before the last letter typed if it cannot find a match. So if entering "Davidm" returns no results, the search function automatically tries to search for "David M." 3) Search results include soundalike entries, so entering "Dwayne" also returns results for "Duane."
To delete letters when correcting a misspelled name, press Backspace .
3 Each matching contact is displayed with a code for the type of number you last entered for that contact: "w" for work, "m" for mobile, and so on.

DID YOU KNOW? If you enter a letter—for example, "E"—that corresponds to a number key, both the number and any matching contact names appear on the screen. The onscreen numbers do not affect the process for dialling by contact name.
If the name you want is displayed with the correct phone number code, highlight the name and press Phone/Send to dial the number.
If you want to dial a different number for a displayed contact, select the contact name, select the number to dial, and then press Phone/Send 1.

Using a phone headset
You can connect a phone headset for hands-free operation. You can use either the headset that came with your smartphone or a compatible third-party headset.
IMPORTANT If driving while using a smartphone is permitted where you are and you need to make a call, we recommend using a phone headset or a hands-free car kit (sold separately). If you must use the wired headset while driving, place a speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear free to hear outside noises. Make such a call only if it is legal to do so and you can do so safely.

Using a wired headset
The headset button is context-sensitive, and it performs various actions based on the situation. You can press the headset button to perform tasks such as the following:
Answer an incoming call
- Respond to call waiting
- Hang up a single active call or all calls on a conference call if there is no extracted call
- Swap between calls if there is one active call and one call on hold
NOTE Your smartphone works with headsets that have a 2.5mm, 3-pin connector (look for three dark bands on the plug). When in doubt, ask the third-party headset manufacturer if the product is compatible with your smartphone. If you hear a headset buzz or poor microphone performance, your headset may be incompatible with your smartphone.
Connecting to a Bluetooth® hands-free device
Your smartphone is also compatible with many headsets and car kits (sold
separately) enabled with Bluetooth® wireless technology version 2.0 or earlier.
For a list of compatible hands-free devices with Bluetooth wireless technology, go to go.palm.com/treo500v/.
After you set up a connection with a Bluetooth headset or hands-free car kit, you can communicate with that device whenever it is within range and the Bluetooth feature on your smartphone is turned on. The range varies greatly, depending on environmental factors. The maximum is about 9 metres.
DID YOU KNOW? If you have both a compatible Bluetooth headset and a car kit, the one you connected to your smartphone last becomes the active device.
1 If necessary, prepare the other device, such as a headset, to accept a new connection. Check the device's documentation for details. Be sure to find out if the device has a predefined passkey that you need to enter on your smartphone in step 9.
2 Press Home , and then press Start (left softkey).
3 Navigate to the My Settings content list, highlight Bluetooth, and then press Turn On (left softkey).
4 Select Bluetooth, and then select Add new device.

5 Wait for your smartphone to search for devices and to display the device list.

6 Select the device you want to connect to and press Next (left softkey).
7 Enter a passkey between 1 and 16 digits long and press Next (left
softkey). You do not need to press Option before entering digits
IMPORTANT Some hands-free devices have a predefined passkey. If your hands-free device has a predefined passkey, you can find it in the documentation for that device. Other devices provide a screen where you enter a passkey that you make up. In either case, you must use the same passkey on both your smartphone and your hands-free device. We recommend that you use a passkey of 16 digits, where possible, to improve the security of your smartphone. The longer the passkey, the more difficult it is for the passkey to be deciphered.
DID YOU KNOW? The Bluetooth icon on your Home screen indicates the status of the Bluetooth feature. See The Bluetooth status icon for details.
8 If the passkey is not predefined, enter the same passkey on the other Bluetooth device.
9 Press OK (left softkey).
You can now communicate with this device whenever it is within range and the Bluetooth feature on your smartphone is turned on. The range varies greatly, depending on environmental factors. The maximum is about 9 metres.
Using a Bluetooth hands-free device
To learn how to set up and connect to Bluetooth devices, see Connecting to a Bluetooth® hands-free device.
Here are tips for working with a Bluetooth hands-free device:
- To transfer a call from the handset to a Bluetooth hands-free device during a call, press Menu (right softkey) and select Connect Bluetooth. To transfer the call back to the headset, press Menu (right softkey) and select Cancel Bluetooth.
To transfer a call from a wired headset to a Bluetooth headset or car kit that is within range and with which you've previously set up a partnership (Bluetooth headset or car kit required, sold separately), unplug the wired
headset and press the button on the Bluetooth headset or car kit.
DID YOU KNOW? If you're using a Bluetooth hands-free device and it is within range, your smartphone routes all calls to the hands-free device instead of to the earpiece on your smartphone. Bluetooth range is up to 9 metres in optimum environmental conditions.
Tip To find out how to transfer your contacts from your smartphone to your car kit, go to go.palm.com/treo500v/.

Synchronising information
Synchronising means that information that has been entered or updated in one place—your Palm® Treo™ 500v smartphone, your computer, or your corporate server—is automatically updated in the other. There's no need to enter information twice. Some types of synchronisation can happen on an automated schedule, so you don't even have to think about it.
After you get into the habit of synchronising regularly, you'll know what a powerful tool synchronisation is for transferring, updating, and backing up large amounts of information on your smartphone.
Benefits
-
Quickly update information on your computer, your corporate server, and your smartphone
-
Protect your information
-
Send photos and videos to your smartphone from your desktop computer

Synchronisation overview
This chapter discusses using desktop sync software and other methods to synchronise your smartphone and your computer.
When you synchronise, info you enter on your smartphone, your computer, or your corporate server is automatically updated in the other location. There's no need to enter the info twice. This is true whether you sync wirelessly with your company's Exchange server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (see Setting up wireless synchronisation) or with your computer using desktop synchronisation software (see Setting up your computer for synchronisation).
How do I synchronise?
There are a number of ways to make synchronisation occur. You may be able to synchronise wirelessly with an Exchange server, or you can install desktop sync software on your computer to synchronise in one of several ways. You can also maximise your sync options and sync with both an Exchange server and desktop sync software.
Synchronising wirelessly with the server
You can set up your smartphone to synchronise email and other information wirelessly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (see Setting up wireless synchronisation). If you choose this method, synchronisation takes place automatically after setup. You do not need to install the software from the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD.
NOTE We recommend that you install the desktop sync software from the CD even if
you synchronise wirelessly with the server. You need the desktop sync software to synchronise pictures, videos, music files, and other info directly with your computer.
Synchronising with desktop sync software
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Install the software from the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD, which came with your smartphone. You must install this software even if you have already installed a previous version of desktop sync software. See Installing ActiveSync desktop software: Windows XP or Installing Windows Mobile Device Center: Windows Vista for instructions.
After you install desktop sync software, you can synchronise in either of the following ways:
- By connecting your smartphone to your computer using the sync cable (see Synchronising using the sync cable)
- By connecting your smartphone to your computer using Bluetooth® wireless technology (see Synchronising over a Bluetooth connection)
If you have a Windows XP computer:
The desktop sync software is called ActiveSync® desktop software.
If you have a Windows Vista computer:
The desktop sync software is called Windows Mobile Device Center. The sync application on your smartphone is called ActiveSync.
What can I synchronise?
If you have Microsoft Office Outlook® 2003 or later installed on your computer, by default, the following information is synchronised when you synchronise using either desktop sync software or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync:

Contacts Calendar

E-mail Tasks
You can, however, customise sync settings to suit your needs and sync only some of these applications.
Tip If you don't already have Outlook 2003 or later installed on your computer, you can install a trial version of Outlook 2007 from the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD. Insert the CD into your computer's CD drive, select Add Programs (Windows XP) or Bonus Software (Windows Vista), and then select the link to download a trial version of Outlook 2007.
If you set up synchronisation with your computer using the desktop sync software, information in the Favourites application is synchronised by default as well. Synchronising Favourites gives you an easy way to get web favourites from the web browser on your computer into the web browser on your smartphone. Just add them to the folder called Mobile Favourites, which shows up in your computer's browser. When you sync, they
become available on your smartphone as well. Backup copies of any favourites that you add on the smartphone browser are also stored in the Mobile Favourites folder.
You can also change settings to synchronise Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files, as well as pictures, music, videos, and other types of files (see Changing which applications sync).
Tip If you want to synchronise with a personal information manager (PIM) other than Microsoft Office Outlook, you must install a third-party solution. Contact the PIM's vendor to learn if software is available for your smartphone.
The following table lists the types of info you can synchronise and the methods to use.
| Info type | Method | Where to learn more |
| Outlook Contacts, Calendar, Tasks | Desktop sync software (sync with computer) or Exchange ActiveSync (direct sync with server) | Setting up your computer for synchronisation or Setting up wireless synchronisation |
| Outlook Email | Desktop sync software or Exchange ActiveSync | Setting up your computer for synchronisation or Setting up wireless synchronisation |
| Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF files | Desktop sync software | Setting up your computer for synchronisation Synchronising your Microsoft Office files Changing which applications sync |
| Music and video files | Desktop sync software and Windows Media Player | Setting up your computer for synchronisation Changing which applications sync Transferring media files to your smartphone |

| Outlook Notes | Desktop sync software | Setting up your computer for synchronisation Changing which applications sync |
| Files to be transferred to an expansion card | Desktop sync software | Setting up your computer for synchronisation Changing which applications sync |
Tip If you want to synchronise music and videos, you need to have Windows Media Player 10 or later installed on your computer. If you don't already have Windows Media Player on your computer, you can download it from microsoft.com.
Setting up wireless synchronisation
Does your company use Microsoft Outlook as its email solution? Does your company also use Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or 2007 as its email server? If so, you may be able to wirelessly synchronise the email and other Outlook info on your smartphone and the same info stored on the Exchange server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
If you are using Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2003 that has been upgraded to Service Pack 2, you may be able to take advantage of the additional features of Microsoft Direct Push. Microsoft Direct Push is a two-way wireless delivery method that keeps your Outlook information always up-to-date and provides more efficient communication between the server and your smartphone. It includes features like Global Address List; Tasks Over The Air (OTA); and IP-based push updating of Calendar, Messaging, and Inbox (email).
DID YOU KNOW? Because your desktop copy of Outlook also syncs with the server, whatever is synchronised to the server from your smartphone also shows up in Outlook; and whatever you enter or change in Outlook on your computer syncs to the server and then shows up on your smartphone.
DID YOU KNOW? You cannot synchronise email distribution lists wirelessly with the Exchange Server. However, you can search for a Global Address List in Contacts (see Finding a contact in an online address book) and add it as a single entry in your contact list. This contact entry can then synchronise with the server.
Tip If you are using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and you lose your smartphone, contact your IT department as soon as possible to have them deactivate access to the Exchange server from your smartphone.
NOTE Even if you sync with an Exchange server, we recommend that you install the desktop sync software as well, to take full advantage of your smartphone's capabilities.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN To synchronise wirelessly, you need to set up an Exchange Server account. Work with your system administrator to gather the following info, and then follow the steps in this section to set up an account:
- Mail server address and domain name.
DID YOU KNOW? If you use Outlook Web Access (OWA) services, the mail server address is usually the same as your OWA address.
Tip If you use hosted Exchange services, contact the host company to get the domain name.
- The username and password you use to access your corporate mail server.
- Security connection: Does your server use an encrypted (SSL) connection?
- Whether it is OK to store your corporate email password on your smartphone. To maintain security, the administrator may require you not to store the password on your smartphone.
Tip If you installed ActiveSync desktop software on a Windows XP computer, you may have already set up your smartphone to synchronise wirelessly with the server. To check, press Home, press Centre on the 5-way, and then select Applications. Select Organiser & Tools, and then select ActiveSync. Press Menu (right softkey). If Configure Server appears instead of Add Server Source, wireless sync is already set up, and you can skip this procedure.
1 Press Home 心 , and then press Centre
2 Select Applications , and then select ActiveSync
3 Press Menu (right softkey) and select Add Server Source.

4 Enter the server address.

5 Check the This server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection box if your server uses an encrypted connection. In most cases, this box should be checked.
6 Press Next [... (right softkey).
7 Enter the username and password you use to access your corporate mail server, and enter the Exchange server domain.
NOTE You can't see your password as you enter it, so be careful. Be sure Caps Lock and Option Lock are not on unless you need them. For info on how to enter characters, see Entering lowercase and uppercase letters and Entering numbers, punctuation, and symbols.
TIP The Exchange server settings are case-sensitive. Be sure to enter uppercase and lowercase letters properly.
8 Check the Save password box.
TIP If you found out from your system administrator that it is not OK to store your password, don't check the Save password box; you must synchronise manually (see Initiating a wireless sync manually).
Tip If you check this box and later change your Exchange password, you need to repeat the steps in this procedure and enter the new password. You cannot synchronise wirelessly until you update the password.
9 Press Next (right softkey) and check the boxes for the types of information you want to synchronise with the Exchange server.

10 (Optional) Highlight an item, press Menu (right softkey), and then select Settings to change the synchronisation settings for that type of information. Settings are not available for all items.
Tip To automatically download more of an incoming email message than the default setting, select E-mail in step 10 and select a higher number from the Download size limit list. If you don't increase this setting, you can manually download the rest of the message at your convenience.
11 Press Finish (left softkey). Synchronisation with your Exchange server begins automatically. A status bar appears onscreen indicating sync progress.
You can set a schedule for synchronisation to take place anytime info is updated on either your smartphone or the server or at certain intervals (see Setting the synchronisation schedule), or allow synchronisation to take place only when you initiate it manually (see Initiating a wireless sync manually).
Setting the synchronisation schedule
You can set a synchronisation schedule in either of the following situations:
If you use Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2: By default, wireless sync takes place anytime info is updated on either your smartphone or the server using Microsoft Direct Push. To save battery life, however, you can set synchronisation to take place at intervals that you specify.
If you use Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 that is not upgraded to Service
Pack 2: By default, wireless sync does not take place automatically. Set a synchronisation schedule to have sync take place either anytime info is updated on your smartphone or the server, or at certain intervals.
1 Press Home 空 , and then press Centre .
2 Select Applications , and then select ActiveSync
3 Press Menu (right softkey) and select Schedule.

4 Set any of the following options:
Peak times: Sets the frequency for high-traffic time periods such as when you are at work or when email volume is high.
Off-peak times: Sets the frequency for low-traffic time periods such as late at night.
Use above settings when roaming:
Sets the frequency while you are roaming outside your network operator's network. You should keep this box checked to ensure that wireless sync works properly.
Send/receive when I click Send:
Specifies whether items are sent as soon as you select Send in the email application, or whether they are held until the next synchronisation.
5 Press Done [... (left softkey).
Initiating a wireless sync manually
If you want to control exactly when a wireless sync takes place, or if it is not OK to store your corporate email password on your smartphone, you can initiate synchronisation manually.
1 To set up manual sync, follow the preceding procedure, Setting the synchronisation schedule. In the Peak times and Off-peak times lists, select Manual.
2 To initiate a manual sync, press Home l , and then press Centre l
3 Select Applications , and then select ActiveSync
4 Press Sync [---] (left softkey).
Setting up your computer for synchronisation
Even if you are synchronising email, contacts, calendar events, and tasks directly with Exchange Server 2003 or 2007, we recommend that you install the desktop sync software (accessible from a link on the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD) so that you can sync your smartphone directly with your computer. Why? Using the desktop sync software enables you to synchronise additional info such as pictures, videos, music files, Microsoft Office files, and notes. So you can create and work on files on your smartphone and then sync changes to your computer, where you then have a backed-up and up-to-date copy of important info.
Before you can synchronise, you need to install your desktop sync software and connect the USB sync cable to your computer. Even if you already have desktop sync software installed on your
computer, you must install the software that you can download from the link on the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD that came with your smartphone.
System requirements
Your computer must meet the following minimum system requirements:
- Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista (later versions may also be supported)
32MB of available memory (RAM)
170MB of free hard disk space
CD drive
Available USB port - USB sync cable (included with your smartphone)
- Adobe Flash Player (required to run the installation program)
Tip If you do not have Adobe Flash Player on your computer, you can download it for free from adobe.com.

Browsing the web
Internet Explorer Mobile provides quick and easy access to web pages. You can view most sites on your smartphone that you can view on your computer, including those with security and advanced features, such as JavaScript and frames.
Internet Explorer Mobile supports JavaScript, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and cookies, but does not support plug-ins (Flash, Shockwave, VBScript, WML script, and so on) or Java applets.
DID YOU KNOW? The security certificates and 128-bit SSL strong encryption enable you to browse secure sites, such as online shopping, banking, and email. Remember, some secure sites also require a specific browser and may not work with Internet Explorer Mobile. Ask the organisation for an alternative access point that is compatible with Internet Explorer Mobile.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Do the following:
- Be sure to subscribe to data services from your network operator. This is necessary for browsing the web.
Make sure your phone is on and that you're inside a coverage area (see Turning your phone on).
By default, Internet Explorer Mobile scales web page content to fit your smartphone screen so that you can view most of the information without scrolling left or right.

Connecting to devices with Bluetooth wireless technology
With the built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology on your smartphone, you can connect to a number of Bluetooth devices such as a headset or hands-free car kit, as well as to other phones, handhelds, or piconets. When you connect to another device, you create a partnership (also referred to by terms such as trusted pair, trusted device, or pairing) with that device.
KEY TERM Partnership Two devices—for example, your smartphone and a hands-free device—that can connect because each device finds the same passkey on the other device. After you form a partnership with a device, you don't need to enter a passkey to connect with that device again. Partnership is also known as paired relationship, pairing, trusted device, and trusted pair.
If your computer is enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can also synchronise wirelessly or use your phone as a wireless modem.
You can create a list of Bluetooth devices that you trust to communicate with your smartphone. When communicating with trusted devices, your smartphone skips the discovery process and creates a secure link as long as the device is within range. Bluetooth range is up to 9 metres in ideal conditions. Performance and range are affected by physical obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.
When you configure a headset (see Connecting to a Bluetooth® hands-free device), the headset is automatically added to your trusted device list. Follow the steps in this section to add other devices, such as your computer, to your trusted device list.
DID YOU KNOW? Check your battery level before establishing a Bluetooth connection. If the battery level is low, you can't make a Bluetooth connection.
Tip You can set up a connection to a nearby Bluetooth printer. To print a file, open the file, press Menu (right softkey), and then select Print via Bluetooth in any application that supports this feature.

IMPORTANT Some hands-free devices have a predefined passkey. If your device has a predefined passkey, you can find it in the documentation for that device. Other devices provide a screen where you enter a passkey that you make up. In either case, you must use the same passkey on both your smartphone and the other device. We recommend that where possible, you make up a numeric passkey of 16 digits to improve the security of your smartphone. The longer the passkey, the more difficult it is for the passkey to be deciphered.

Transferring media files to your smartphone
Use the Sync feature in the desktop version of Windows Media Player to transfer digital music, audio, video, and playlist files from your computer to an expansion card or your smartphone. Using the Sync feature ensures that the files are transferred correctly.
Tip For tips on using the desktop version of Windows Media Player, go to the Help menu in Windows Media Player on your computer.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Do the following:
- Be sure you have Windows Media Player 10 or later installed on your computer. On a Windows XP computer,
Windows Media Player 10 must be installed on your computer before you install ActiveSync desktop software.
Tip If you don't already have Windows Media Player 10 or later installed on your Windows XP computer, you can download it from microsoft.com. Windows Media Player 11 is installed on Windows Vista computers by default.
- To sync media files with your computer, set the Media sync option on your smartphone (see Changing which applications sync).
1 On your computer, open Windows Media Player.
2 (Optional) If you're transferring media files to an expansion card, insert a 32MB or larger expansion card into your smartphone.
3 Connect your smartphone to your computer with the USB sync cable.
4 Do one of the following:
Windows XP: When the Device Setup Wizard opens on your computer, click Automatic. Check the Customise the playlists that will be synchronised box.
Windows Vista: Select the Sync tab, and then select Treo > Set Up Sync. Check the Sync this device automatically box.
5 Select the playlists you want to sync. On a Windows Vista computer, select the All Photos and All Videos playlists to synchronise pictures and videos between your smartphone and your computer.
6 Click Finish to begin the transfer. If you are transferring files to an expansion card, be patient; transferring media files to an expansion card can take several minutes.
Tip You can also transfer media files from a Windows XP computer manually. Double-click the ActiveSync icon in the taskbar to open the ActiveSync desktop software window, select Explore, and then drag the media files onto the icon representing your smartphone. Update the library in Windows Media Player on your smartphone to complete the transfer; see Working with libraries.
TIP Another easy way to manually transfer media files is to copy them to an expansion card (sold separately). Insert the card into your smartphone (see Inserting and removing expansion cards) and then update the library (see Working with libraries) so that Windows Media Player can access the files on the card.

For example, in the desktop Windows Media Player, you can create a playlist of upbeat music for when you exercise and a playlist of soothing songs for a long flight. When you synchronise, your favourite playlists are automatically copied to your smartphone. Your playlists appear in your libraries (in the My Playlists category).
A temporary playlist, called Now Playing, appears on the Now Playing menu. It lists the currently playing file, as well as any files that are queued up to play next. You can add to, modify, or clear the files on the Now Playing playlist.

NOTE For a SIM contact, you can enter a name and phone number only.

TIP Take some time to scroll down through all the fields in a new contact. There are fields for multiple addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and much more.
TIP Be sure to enter mobile numbers and email addresses in the correct fields so that Messaging can find this info when you address a message and Calendar can find your contacts when you want to invite them to meetings.
Here are some helpful tips for entering info:
- To assign a ringtone to the entry, select Custom ring tone and select a tone.
- To add a caller ID picture that displays when that person calls, select Picture, and then select Camera and take a picture, or select an existing picture from Thumbnail View.

So if entering "Davidm" returns to no results, the search function automatically tries to search for "David M." 3) Search results include soundalike entries, so entering "Dwayne" also returns results for "Duane."

Synchronising your Microsoft Office files
You can create and edit Microsoft Office files on your computer and then synchronise the files so that changes you make show up on both your computer and your smartphone. To synchronise Microsoft Office files, you must first choose Files as one of your synchronisation options on your smartphone if you did not do so during desktop software installation; see Setting up wireless synchronisation and Changing which applications sync.
The procedure for synchronising files is different for computers running Windows XP and computers running Windows Vista.
NOTE The Office mobile applications on your smartphone are not compatible with the Office 2007 desktop applications.
Synchronising files: Windows XP
1 Connect your smartphone to your computer with the USB sync cable.
NOTE Most ActiveSync desktop software options are available only when your smartphone is connected to your computer.
2 On your computer, double-click the ActiveSync icon in the taskbar in the lower-right corner of your computer screen to open the ActiveSync desktop software window.
Tip If the ActiveSync icon does not appear in the taskbar, go to Start, navigate to Programs, and then select Microsoft ActiveSync to open the ActiveSync window.

3 Under Information Type, double-click Files to view a list of all synchronised files.
Tip If Files doesn't appear under Information Type, open the Tools menu and select Options. Make sure the Files box is checked.
4 Do any of the following:
- To delete a file from the file sync folder on your computer and from your smartphone, highlight the file name and click Remove.
- To copy a file from your computer to your smartphone, click Add, browse to and highlight the file, and then click Open.
NOTE If you receive an error while synchronising files, make sure that all of the files you're trying to sync are closed on both your computer and on your smartphone.
Synchronising files: Windows Vista
1 On your computer, copy or save the file to the Documents\Documents on username's Smartphone folder.
DID YOU KNOW? The Documents on username's Smartphone folder is created when you select the option to sync Files.
2 Connect your smartphone to your computer with the USB sync cable. Synchronisation takes place automatically.
Where are the changes I made to my file?
If you sync a file from your computer to your smartphone, edit it on your smartphone, and then sync it back to your computer, don't look for the changed file in its original location on your computer. Only the synchronised version contains the changes, and that version is in the ActiveSync file sync folder. To find this folder, do one of the following:
Windows XP: On your computer desktop, double-click the file sync folder icon. This is a shortcut to the file sync folder.
Alternately, in ActiveSync desktop software, double-click Files. The location of the file sync folder appears in the File Synchronisation Settings dialog box (under
On this computer, synchronise the files in this folder).
Windows Vista: Open the Documents\ Documents on username's Smartphone folder.
On your smartphone, you can find the synchronised file by doing either of the following:
- Press Home l , and then press Centre l . Select Applications l , press More l (left softkey), and then select Office Mobile l . Select the application that opens the file: Word Mobile l , Excel Mobile l , or PowerPoint Mobile l .

Resetting your smartphone
Performing a soft reset
Performing a soft reset is similar to restarting a computer. If your smartphone is not responding or you have trouble synchronising with your computer, a soft reset may help.
1 Holding your smartphone screen side down, use two or more fingers to press against the battery door to release it, and then slide the door off the back of your smartphone.

2 Remove and reinsert the battery, and then replace the battery cover.
3 Press and hold Power until the Palm® logo appears.
DID YOU KNOW? If the phone or the Bluetooth® wireless technology feature was on before a reset, these automatically turn on after the reset.
Performing a hard reset
A hard reset erases all personal information, such as appointments, contacts, and tasks, as well as programs you have added, such as third-party software on your smartphone. Never do a hard reset without first trying a soft reset. You can restore previously synchronised information the next time you sync.
IMPORTANT Synchronise to restore your Outlook data, such as Outlook email, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks. You can also use a backup and restore solution. Make sure it's an application that's approved by Palm.
TIP Some third-party applications do not create a backup on your computer when you synchronise. If you do a hard reset, you may lose info in these applications and you need to reinstall the application on your smartphone after the hard reset. Please contact the application vendor to find out if your info is backed up during synchronisation.
DID YOU KNOW? When you synchronise after a hard reset, the source folder in My Documents changes from Treo My Documents to WM-your name.
DID YOU KNOW? We recommend performing a hard reset before selling, repairing, or recycling your smartphone so that your information is deleted. Remember to also remove your SIM card and any expansion card inserted into your smartphone.
A hard reset can tell you whether a problem stems from your smartphone or from an application installed on it. If you do not experience the problem after you perform a hard reset, the problem may be related to software you installed. See Third-party applications for suggestions on diagnosing third-party software issues.
1 Synchronise your smartphone with your computer so that your smartphone applications and info can be restored by synchronising again after you perform the hard rest.
2 Holding your smartphone screen side down, use two or more fingers to press against the battery door to release it, and then slide the door off the back of your smartphone.

Synchronisation: Overview
Synchronisation enables you to back up the information on your smartphone onto your computer or your server. If you ever need to perform a hard reset or otherwise erase all your information on your smartphone, you can synchronise your smartphone with your computer to restore the info. To make sure you always have an up-to-date backup of your info, synchronise frequently.
You can synchronise email and other information directly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 or Exchange Server 2007 using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, or you can synchronise your smartphone with your computer, using the desktop sync software, accessible from a link on the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD that came with your smartphone.
DID YOU KNOW? You can go to the Windows Mobile website for more information at windowsmobile.com.
DID YOU KNOW? A common cause of sync problems is the presence of protective software, such as VPNs or firewalls, on your computer or network.
Synchronisation: Desktop sync software
This section covers issues with synchronising using the desktop sync software that came with your smartphone. If you have a Windows XP computer, the desktop sync software is called ActiveSync desktop software. If you have a Windows Vista computer, the desktop sync software is called Windows Mobile Device Center.

I have problems using my account
Occasionally you may experience problems using an email account after you set it up. If you followed the account setup procedure (see Setting up email) and are experiencing problems in using the account, verify that the account complies with your email provider's requirements by following these steps:
- Verify both your password and your username for your email account.
- Some email service providers require you to be on their network to use your email account. If this is the case, be sure to use your provider's network as the connection type for the account.
- Some email service providers have other requirements specific to their service. For example, Yahoo! requires you to set up POP mail forwarding for your Yahoo! account to download email messages to your smartphone. Check with your service provider to see if any provider-specific requirements exist.
Service provider settings frequently change. If your email account was working but you are currently experiencing problems, check with your service provider to see if any of the account settings have changed.
I have problems sending and receiving email
Short periods of time when email is unavailable are common due to server problems or poor wireless coverage. If you have problems sending or receiving mail for an extended period of time, check with your ISP or email service provider to verify that the service is working properly.
Scheduled email synchronisation is not working
If email synchronisation is occurring and you turn your smartphone off or the connection to your email service provider is disconnected, the synchronisation fails.
-
Check the synchronisation schedule to make sure that email sync is set to occur at the expected day and time. See Setting the synchronisation schedule for details.
-
Press Home l , and then press Centre l . Select Applications l and then select ActiveSync l . Press Menu l (right softkey) and select Configure Server. Make sure the verify password setting is on. This is required for over-the-air synchronisation.
I have problems sending email
If you are able to receive email messages but cannot send them, try the following steps, in turn:
-
Make sure your ISP or email provider allows you to access email on a smartphone. Some providers do not offer this option at all; other providers require an upgrade for accessing email on a smartphone.
-
Press Home , and then press Centre . Select Applications , and then select ActiveSync . Press Menu (right softkey) and select Configure Server. Make sure the This server requires an encrypted (SSL) connection box is checked.
-
Enter the name of a different outgoing mail server for sending mail. Many ISPs, such as cable companies, require that
you have an Internet connection to their network to send email through their servers. In this case, you can almost always receive email from these accounts, but if you want to send email, you must send it through another server (see Setting up a POP/IMAP account: Common email providers).
My vCard or vCal email attachment isn't forwarding correctly
Microsoft Office Outlook provides several features including vCard and vCal that work with email client software on a Windows computer. For these features to work correctly, the email client software must be properly set up. Follow these steps to check the settings:
1 Click Start on your computer, and then select Settings.
2 Select Control Panel.
3 Select Internet Options, and then click the Programs tab.
4 Make sure that the email field is set to the correct email client software.
5 Click OK.

I can't access a web page
First, make sure you have Internet access: Open Internet Explorer Mobile and try to view a web page you've loaded before. To ensure that you're viewing the page directly from the Internet, press Menu (right softkey) and select Refresh.
After confirming your Internet connection, try to view the page in question again. If it comes up blank, press Menu (right softkey) and select Refresh.
If you're still having trouble, the page may contain elements that are not supported by Internet Explorer Mobile, such as Flash, Shockwave, VBScript, WML script, and other plug-ins.
Some websites use a redirects to their true home page. For example, if you enter the address http://palm.com/support, it may resolve to http://palm.com/us/support. If Internet Explorer Mobile can't follow the redirect, try using a desktop browser to see the landing page of the redirects, and enter that address in Internet Explorer Mobile.
Tip Your smartphone can open your email application when you select an email address on a web page. If nothing happens when you select the link, try setting up your email application first (see Setting up email).
An image or map is too small on my smartphone screen
Internet Explorer Mobile has several viewing modes: One Column, Default, Desktop, and Full Screen. Switch to Desktop to see the full-size image (see Browsing the web).
A secure site refuses to permit a transaction
Some websites don't support certain browsers for transactions. Please contact the site's webmaster to make sure the site allows transactions using Internet Explorer Mobile.
Camera
DID YOU KNOW? Pictures are 16-bit colour.
Resolution settings range from the low end of 96 × 72 pixels to a high end of 1600 × 1200 pixels. Video resolution settings range from a low end of 176 × 144 pixels to a high end of 320 × 240 pixels. You can change the resolution setting by pressing Menu (right softkey) and selecting Resolution (still images) or Quality (video).
Here are some tips for taking good pictures with the built-in camera:
- Clean the camera's lens with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Take pictures in bright lighting conditions. Low-light images may be grainy, due to the sensitivity of the camera. - Hold the camera as still as possible. Try supporting your picture-taking arm against your body or a stationary object (such as a wall).
-
Keep the subject of the pictures still. Exposure time is longer with lower light levels, so you may see a blur.
-
For best results, verify that you have the brightest light source coming from behind you, lighting the subject's face. Avoid taking indoor pictures with the subject in front of a window or light.
Make sure the subject is at least 0.5 metres away from the camera to ensure good focus.
Remember that when you synchronise with a Windows XP computer, your Camera images are stored in the C:\Documents and Settings\Username>My Documents\Treo My Documents folder on your hard drive (see Camera).
The Camera preview image looks strange
Some third-party applications overwrite the colour settings on your smartphone with their own 8-bit colour settings. This can affect the Camera Preview Mode. Delete third-party applications one by one until the preview image improves (see Removing applications).
Third-party applications
Sometimes third-party applications can cause conflicts on your smartphone. Third-party applications that modify wireless features may affect the performance of your smartphone and may require extra troubleshooting. Use caution when installing the following types of applications:
- Ringtone managers
- Caller ID applications
- Instant messaging
- Applications that modify when your phone or data connections turn on or off and how your phone behaves
If you recently installed an application and your smartphone seems to be stuck, try the following:
1 Perform a soft reset (see Performing a soft reset).
2 Make sure the third-party application is compatible with the Windows Mobile 6
Standard operating system on your smartphone.
3 Delete the most recently installed application from your smartphone (see Removing applications).
4 If the problem persists, perform another soft reset.
5 If possible, synchronise or use a backup utility to back up your most recent info.
6 Perform a hard reset (see Performing a hard reset).
7 Synchronise or restore your backup to restore the info in your built-in applications.
8 If the problem is resolved, begin reinstalling your third-party applications one at a time.
9 If the problem recurs, delete the last application you installed and report the problem to its developer.
Getting more help
Contact the vendor of any third-party software if you require further assistance.
TIP Remember that not all third-party applications were written with the Treo 500v smartphone keyboard and 5-way navigator in mind. You may encounter strange behaviour or errors in these applications if you use the keyboard and the 5-way navigator.
Making room on your smartphone
If you store a large amount of information, or install many third-party applications, the internal memory on your smartphone may fill up. Here are some common ways to clear space on your smartphone:
- Camera: Large images or videos take up a lot of memory. Move images to an expansion card or delete images from your smartphone (see Pictures & Videos).
- Messaging: Multimedia content and email attachments can consume excessive memory. Move multimedia content and attachments to an expansion card, or delete large files
from your smartphone (see Deleting messages and Deleting a message).
You may also want to empty the deleted items folder.
- Internet: If you save links to pages you've visited in Internet Explorer Mobile, you may want to clear all recent pages (see Customising your Internet Explorer Mobile settings).
- Third-party applications: You can delete infrequently used applications or move them to an expansion card (see Copying or moving applications and files between your smartphone and an expansion card).
Also, remember that your smartphone includes an expansion card tray, and that you can store applications and information on expansion cards. However, you still need free memory on the smartphone itself to run applications from an expansion card.
Voice quality
Is the other person hearing an echo?
Try each of the following, in turn:
Try decreasing the volume on your smartphone to avoid coupling or feedback on the other person's end. This applies to both the speakerphone and to the handset earpiece.
- Position the smartphone closer to your ear to prevent sound leaking back to the microphone. Keep your hand away from the microphone hole, which is on the lower-right side of your smartphone.
If you're using Speakerphone mode with your smartphone lying on a flat surface, try turning the smartphone "face down" (screen facing the surface).
Are you hearing your own voice echo?
Ask the other person to turn down their volume or to hold the phone closer to their ear.
Is your voice too quiet on the other end?
Be sure to hold the bottom of the smartphone, or the hands-free microphone, close to your mouth.
Check the signal strength indicator. If the signal is weak, try to find an area with better coverage.

RF exposure
General statement on RF energy: Your smartphone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your smartphone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your smartphone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2W / kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.888W / kg . As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body.
As SAR is measured utilising the device's highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to communicate with the network.
| Maximum SAR Values (W/kg) CE | |||
| Band | GSM 900 | GSM 1800 | WCDMA 2100 |
| Head SAR | 0.888 | 0.502 | 0.504 |
To view the most recent SAR values of the Treo 500v smartphone, visit palm.com/55005.
Body worn operation: Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation (RF) exposure:
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the smartphone must be used with a minimum of 15mm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields: For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using 'hands-free' devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.
FCC RF Safety Statement
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure safety guidelines, users MUST use one of the following types of body-worn accessories:
- A Palm® brand body-worn accessory that has been tested for SAR compliance and is intended for use with this product.
- An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc) and provides AT LEAST 1.5cm of separation between the users body and the unit.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact with the body (i.e. on the lap or in a breast pocket). Such use will likely exceed FCC RF safety exposure limits. See www.fcc.gov/oet/rlsafety/ for more information on RF exposure safety.

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:
Potentially Unsafe Areas/Potentially explosive
atmospheres Obey all signs and instructions regarding turning off your smartphone. In particular, turn off your smartphone when you are in any areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as fueling areas (gas or petrol stations, below deck on boats), storage facilities for fuel or chemicals, blasting areas and areas near electrical blasting caps, and areas where there are chemicals or particles (such as metal powders, grains, and dust) in the air.
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 smartphone.
Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 15 centimeters be maintained between a smartphone 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 smartphone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the smartphone is turned ON.
Not carry the smartphone in a breast pocket. - Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference.
- Turn the smartphone 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 smartphone models. You may want to consult your doctor in the event that you experience interference with your hearing aid while using your smartphone. When using the speakerphone feature, it is recommended that you place your smartphone 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 smartphone 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.
Repetitive Motion Injuries When using the keyboard or playing games on your smartphone, you may experience discomfort in your neck, shoulders, hands, arms, of other parts of the body. To avoid any injury, such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorder, make sure to take necessary breaks from use, take longer rests (such as several hours) if discomfort or tiring begins, and see a doctor if discomfort persists.
Blackouts and Seizures Blinking lights, such as those experienced with television or playing video games, may cause some people to experience blackout or seizure, even if never experienced before. In the event a smartphone user should experience any disorientation, loss of awareness, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching or other involuntary movements, stop use immediately and consult a doctor. Individuals with personal or family history of such events should consult a doctor before using the device. To limit the possibility of such symptoms, wherever possible every hour take a minimum of 15 minutes, use in a well lighted area, view the screen from the farthest distance and avoid exposure to blinking lights if you are tired.
Aircraft While in aircraft, follow all instructions regarding the operation of your smartphone. Use of your smartphone while on board an aircraft must be done in accordance with compliance with airline instructions and regulations.
Vehicles with Air Bags Your smartphone should not be placed in a position that would affect the operation of air bag deployment or in a position that, should the air bag inflate, could propel the smartphone. Air bags will inflate with great force and care should be taken to protect within a vehicle that has air bags.
Battery Your smartphone includes an internal lithium-ion battery. Please note that use of certain data applications can result in heavy battery use and may require frequent battery charging. Any disposal of the smartphone must comply with laws and regulations pertaining to lithium ion batteries.
Distraction
Driving: Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident.

Interference
General statement on interference: Care must be taken when using the smartphone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers: Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this use the smartphone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing aids: People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source; increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical devices: Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your smartphone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals: Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics, or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft: Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft; if your device offers a "flight mode" this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in cars: Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive environments
Petrol stations and explosive atmospheres: In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your smartphone or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas; below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting caps and areas: Turn off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas posted turn off "two-way radios" or "electronic devices" to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
Driving Safety Tips Overview
Always obey all laws and regulations on the use of the smartphone in your driving area.
IMPORTANT Driving while using a phone may not be permitted in your region. Check with your local authorities.
Safety — Your most important call. The Wireless Industry reminds you to use your smartphone safely when driving.
1 Get to know your smartphone and its features, such as speed-dial and radial.
2 When available, use a hands-free device.
3 Position your smartphone within easy reach.
4 Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from the road.
8 Dial your national emergency number (such as 112 or 999) to report serious emergencies. This is a free call from your smartphone.
9 Use your smartphone to help others in emergencies.
10 Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.
Driving Safety Tips Details
1 Get to know your smartphone and its features such as speed-dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most smartphone models offer including, automatic redial and memory dial-most smartphone models can store up to 99 numbers in memory dial. Also, work to memorise the smartphone keyboard so you can use the speed-dial function without taking your attention off the road.
2 When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free smartphone accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your smartphone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.
3 Make sure you place your smartphone within easy reach and where you can grab it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voicemail answer it for you.
4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5 Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an address book or business card while driving a car, or writing a to-do list, then you are not watching where you are going. It's common sense. Don't get caught in a dangerous
situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip, or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip: Dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix-they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend phone conversations which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
Use your smartphone to call for help. Your smartphone is one of the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations with your smartphone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial your national emergency number (such as 112 or 999) in the case of fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergencies. Remember, your national emergency number is a free call on your smartphone.
9 Use your smartphone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 112, as you would want others to do for you.
Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call to 112. But you can still use your smartphone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
NOTICE FOR CONSUMERS WITH HEARING DISABILITIES
Digital Wireless Phones to be Compatible with Hearing Aids On July 10, 2003, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) modified the exemption for wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988. This means that wireless phone manufacturers and service providers must make digital wireless phones accessible to individuals who use hearing aids.
For more information, please go to the FCC's Consumer Alert on accessibility of digital wireless phones at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/accessiblewireless.html.
Wireless telephones are hand-held phones with built-in antennas, often called cell, mobile, or PCS phones. These phones are popular with callers because they can be carried easily from place to place.
Wireless telephones are two-way radios. When you talk into a wireless telephone, it picks up your voice and converts the sound to radio frequency energy (or radio waves). The radio waves travel through the air until they reach a receiver at a nearby base station. The base station then sends your call through the telephone network until it reaches the person you are calling.

When you receive a call on your wireless telephone, the message travels through the telephone network until it reaches a base station close to your wireless phone. Then the base station sends out radio waves that are detected by a receiver in your telephone, where the signals are changed back into the sound of a voice.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) each regulate wireless telephones. FCC
ensures that all wireless phones sold in the United States follow safety guidelines that limit radio frequency (RF) energy. FDA monitors the health effects of wireless telephones. Each agency has the authority to take action if a wireless phone produces hazardous levels of RF energy.
FDA derives its authority to regulate wireless telephones from the Radiation Control provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (originally enacted as the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968). [http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/comp/eprc.html].
FCC derives its authority to regulate wireless telephones from the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the Telecommunications Act of 1996 http://www.fcc.gov/telecom.html.Updated 7/16/2003
Hands-Free Capability All CTIA Certified portable products provide the consumer with a toll-free number for the purchase of a compatible hands-free device. 1-800-881-7256
STATIC ELECTRICITY, ESD, AND YOUR PALM DEVICE
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the device, so you should take steps to avoid such an occurrence.
Description of ESD Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyance. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock—the discharge event—when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.
ESD-susceptible equipment Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm* device, from ESD harm. While Palm has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralised, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your Palm device, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the
device. Then, when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.
Precautions against ESD Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from Palm is that you take this precaution before connecting your Palm device to your computer, placing the device in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:
Ground yourself when you're holding your device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard three-pronged grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body.
- Increase the relative humidity of your environment.
Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.
Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:
Low relative humidity.
- Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)
- The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices.
While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.
Precaution against hearing loss Protect your hearing. Listening to this device at full volume for a long period of time can damage your hearing.
