There’s a blinking bell in the upper-left
corner
The blinking bell in the upper-left corner of
the screen is the Alert icon. It appears
when you have alarms or messages that
you haven’t acknowledged.
1 Press and hold Center or tap the
blinking bell with your stylus.
2 When the list of pending alerts appears,
do either of the following:
• Select the text of the alert to view the
item. The item stays in the list.
• Check the box next to an alert to clear
it from the list, and then select Done.
• If there’s more than one item in the
list, select Clear All.
Synchronization
Synchronization backs up the information
from your smartphone onto your computer
and vice versa. If you ever need to perform
a hard reset or otherwise need to erase all
your information on your smartphone, you
can synchronize your smartphone with
your computer to restore the info. Similarly,
if your computer crashes and your Palm
Desktop info is damaged, you can recover
your info by synchronizing with your
smartphone. To make sure you always
have an up-to-date backup of your info,
synchronize frequently.
This section describes synchronization
between your smartphone and a desktop
computer running Palm Desktop software.
You can also synchronize the information
on your smartphone using third-party
applications. See the documentation for
the third-party application for information
on features and configuration.
Before you attempt to synchronize, make
sure you’ve installed the desktop
synchronization software from the Palm
Software Installation CD.
IMPORTANT Every device needs a unique
name. Never synchronize more than one
device to the same device name on your
computer.
