Moving around the Treo™ screen Some third-party applications may not work with the 5-way navigation control, and you must use the stylus instead. In this guide, we use arrow icons to indicate directions on your Treo’s 5-way navigation control. These are different from any onscreen arrows that you tap with your stylus or select with the 5-way navigation control to display pick lists.
• When inside a text field, press Up • Tap an onscreen scroll arrow. and Down to scroll through the text. • Drag the slider of an onscreen scroll bar. Highlighting items The 5-way navigation control lets you highlight items before launching or selecting them. • When an onscreen button (OK, Cancel, etc.) or pick list is highlighted, a blue glow appears around the border.
Accessing command buttons Command buttons, such as New, OK, and Details appear at the bottom of the screen. In many cases you can jump directly to these buttons instead of scrolling to them. Most menu commands have keyboard shortcuts listed in the menu. To use a shortcut, press Menu plus the shortcut letter. You don’t have to see the menu item to use the shortcut. • From a list screen, such as the Contacts list or Mail inbox, press Right to jump to the first button.
3. Press Up and Down to highlight a menu item. 4. Press Center to choose the menu item, or press Menu cancel your selection. to close the menu and To exit the pick list and cancel your selection, press Left or Right , or tap outside the pick list.

Pick lists are different from the application menus described above.

Setting up your computer Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm® Desktop or Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that information to your Treo. At the same time, changes you make on your Treo are transferred to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your contacts on your Treo, synchronization is a great way to back up your data. Before you can synchronize, you need to install Palm Desktop software on your computer.
Connecting your Treo to your computer For best performance, plug your USB synchronization cable directly into a USB port on your computer. If you use a USB hub, make sure it is a powered hub. 1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. If necessary, connect an adapter. 2. Connect the charger to the short end of the HotSync cable. Be sure to match the sides of the connectors labeled UP. 3. Plug the USB HotSync cable into an available USB port on your computer. 4.
Installing Palm Desktop software on your computer Your computer needs all of its resources available to install the desktop synchronization software. Follow these guidelines for a successful installation: 1. Exit any applications that are currently running on your computer, including those running in the background. 2. Insert the CD that came with your Treo into the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
Synchronizing your contacts and other data We strongly recommend that you install Palm Desktop software soon after you start using your Treo, and that you synchronize your Treo and computer frequently to keep your information upto-date (and backed up) in both locations. Before you can synchronize your contacts and other personal data, you must install Palm Desktop software from the CD that came with your Treo. See page 31 for instructions. 1. Connect your Treo to your computer as described on page 30. 2.
Battery life Battery life depends on individual usage. When used as a phone, your Treo battery provides up to 4 hours of talk time or up to 10 days of standby time on the 1900 MHz band. Talk time is slightly lower when operating on the cellular 800 MHz band. When used as an organizer only (no phone), the battery provides up to 4 weeks of normal use. Maximizing battery life You can increase the life of your Treo battery by following a few easy guidelines.
• As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your Treo continuously searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, temporarily turn off Wireless Mode to conserve battery power. • Use the keyboard backlight (see page 24) only when you need it. • Turn down the screen brightness (see page 121). • Decrease the Auto-off setting in General Preferences (see page 128).

To make sure you always have an up-to-date backup of your data, synchronize frequently. Before you attempt a HotSync operation, make sure that you installed Palm Desktop software and HotSync Manager from the CD that came with your Treo.
5. If problems persist and you’re synchronizing through a USB hub, try connecting the HotSync cable to a different USB port, or directly to your computer’s built-in USB port. 6. Uninstall Palm Desktop. 7. Reboot your computer. 8. Reinstall Palm Desktop. HotSync operation starts but stops without finishing Perform a HotSync operation after each of these steps. If the synchronization is successful, you do not need to complete the remaining steps. 1.
HotSync operation finishes but data does not appear where it should 1. Make sure you’re synchronizing with the intended desktop Personal Information Manager (PIM). The CD that came with your Treo lets you synchronize with Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook for Windows. If you use a different PIM, you will need to install third-party software to synchronize. Consult the company that makes the PIM for more information. 2.
Mail I can’t receive email If you use web-based email (Hotmail, AOL) or corporate email (Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes), the Mail application that comes with Treo will not work. You must use a third-party solution. Contact your email service provider if you are not sure whether your email account is POP3-compatible.

First, obtain this information from your wireless service provider: • Does the Internet connection they provide support sending SMTP emails? • Is there an alternate SMTP authenticated server used for email? • Is SSL required for POP3 or SMTP email transactions? Next, contact your email service provider for this information: • Does this provider support the POP3 protocol? If they don’t, you won’t be able to use Mail for this email account.
Web I can’t access a page • Make sure Wireless Mode is turned on (see page 15). • Check your Internet access: launch Blazer® and try to view a web page you’ve loaded before.

Pictures The Pictures application takes pictures at Small picture size (160 x 120 pixels) and Large picture size (640 x 480 pixels, or 0.3 megapixel). 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.
Third-party applications Sometimes, third-party applications can cause conflicts on your Treo. Third-party applications that modify wireless features may require extra troubleshooting. If you recently installed an application and your Treo seems to be stuck, try the following: 1. Perform a soft reset (see page 139). 2. If the problem persists, perform a system reset (see page 139). 3. Delete the most recently installed application from your Treo (see page 109). 4.
Errors Your Treo is designed to minimize interruptions, when a system error occurs. If Treo encounters a system error, it automatically resets itself and resumes functioning as normal. If possible, it even turns Wireless Mode back on if it was on before the error occurred. Sometimes you might want to know more about an error. Treo uses a special interface to show error messages in greater detail. 1. 2. 3. 4. Press Phone . Press Center, and then choose Dial Pad. Type ##377, and then press Center.
Making room on your Treo If you store a large number of records, or install many third-party applications, the internal memory on your Treo may fill up.

If you have hundreds of messages with or without attachments, you may want to delete older messages to make room (see page 78).
Voice quality Is the other person hearing an echo? • Try decreasing the Treo’s volume to avoid coupling or feedback on the other person’s end. This applies to both speakerphone and the built-in handset speaker. • Position the Treo handset closer to your ear to prevent sound leaking back to the microphone. Keep your hand away from the microphone hole, which is on the back of your Treo near the bottom of the device.
