Basics You’re about to discover the many things about your Palm® Pixi™ Plus phone that can help you better manage your life and have fun, too. As you become more familiar with your phone, you’ll want to personalize the settings and add applications to make it uniquely yours. But first, take the few easy steps in this chapter to set up your phone and get it running.
Get to know your phone IMPORTANT Be careful not to scratch, crush, or apply too much pressure on the touchscreen. Do not store your phone in a place where other items might damage it. Front view Keyboard 1 Option: Press to enter numbers, punctuation, and symbols that appear above the letters on the keys (see Enter alternate keyboard characters), or to move the cursor (see Text selection gestures). 2 Shift: See Enter uppercase letters.
Touchscreen Icons in the title bar You can monitor the status of several items using icons in the area at the top of the phone screen: Table 1. Title bar icons and descriptions Item Description The battery is being charged. The battery is fully charged. The battery is low. See Charge the battery. 1 Application name: Displays the name of the currently open application. Drag down over the app name to open the application menu. 2 Launcher: See Open an application in the Launcher.
Table 1. Title bar icons and descriptions Item Back view Description Bluetooth® wireless technology is turned on. See Bluetooth® wireless technology. A Bluetooth connection is in progress. A Bluetooth connection has been made. Your phone is performing a search on the characters you entered. If you are in Card view or the Launcher, your phone conducts a universal search (see Search to find info and make calls).
Set up your phone What is a Palm profile? Your Palm profile gives you the following benefits: Complete setup 1 Press and hold the power button on the upper-left corner of your phone until you see the Palm® logo on the screen (approximately five seconds). 2 Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup. 3 To create a Palm profile, enter a working email address and select and answer a security question (see What is a Palm profile?).

WARNING Use only batteries and chargers that are approved by Palm with your phone.
• As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your phone continues to search for a signal, which consumes power. Turn off your phone if you are outside a coverage area (see Turn wireless services off (airplane mode)). • The fewer wireless connections you have, the less power is required of the battery. Turn on airplane mode when you don’t need to be wirelessly connected.
Do one of the following: Turn wireless services on • Tap the upper-right corner of any screen to open the connection menu. Tap Turn on Airplane Mode. • Press and hold power and tap Airplane Mode. When you turn on your phone, it automatically connects to your mobile network so that you can make and receive phone calls and use other wireless services (if supported by the local network).
Turn everything (the screen and wireless services) on/off Usually, turning your phone off and/or putting it in airplane mode is sufficient for normal periods when you have the phone with you but you’re not using it. On rare occasions, however, you may want to put your phone into deep sleep because you are not going to use it for an extended period. At those times, do one of the following: • Open Device Info and tap Reset Options. Tap Shut Down, and tap Shut Down again.
Basic gestures Tap: Tap with the tip of the finger—not the fingernail. Tap fast and firmly, and then immediately lift your fingertip off the screen. Don’t bear down on what you’re tapping.

Don’t linger on the gesture; a tap takes a split second to do. • When you’re in Card view, tap the center of the gesture area to maximize the app in the center of the view.
Drag: Drag is the gesture you make for a slow scroll up and down a list. Slide your fingertip slowly along the surface—no need to bear down.
