WARNING: Device Setup Inserting the Battery Use only Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and chargers with your device. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or manufacturer-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your device will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage. 1. Use one hand to press the Battery Door Release button, and use your other hand to slide the battery door downward to remove it from your device.
3. Insert the battery into the compartment at a 45-degree angle, and then press it into place. 4. Slide the battery door onto the back of the device until it clicks into place. 5. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your device. Tip: 12 Buy an extra battery as a spare for long trips or heavy data use. Visit www.palm.com to purchase batteries that are approved by Sprint and that are compatible with your device.
Device Setup Charging the Battery The battery comes with a sufficient charge to complete the setup process and activate your phone. After activation, we recommend charging your device for three and a half hours to give it a full charge. See “Maximizing Battery Life” on page 16 for tips on maximizing the life of your device’s battery. 1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. 2. Connect the charger cable to the charger jack on the bottom of the device.
If the battery is fully drained, it may take a few moments for the indicator light to turn on while the battery is charging. The onscreen battery icon displays the power status: 䢇 Full battery icon : Battery is not connected to a wall outlet and is fully charged. 䢇 Partial battery icon : Battery is not connected to a wall outlet and has some power but is not fully charged. 䢇 Almost-empty battery icon with red at the bottom : Battery needs to be charged immediately.
Using a Sprint Charger Adapter Device Setup If the connector on your Sprint-approved 1 Amp AC charger or vehicle charger doesn’t fit into the connector on the bottom of your device, use the included Sprint charger adapter. Warning: Use only with 1 Amp AC chargers distributed by Sprint for your device. Using any unapproved AC charger may destroy the AC charger and cause a fire. 1. Plug the AC charger into a power source. 2.
Battery Life Battery life depends on individual use. Consumption factors include signal strength, speakerphone use, and use of wireless features. If the battery drains to the point where your device doesn’t turn on, the device stores your information safely until you recharge the battery. To avoid draining the battery, we recommend that you charge and synchronize your device every day, especially if you use the wireless features of your phone often.
䢇 䢇 䢇 Section 1A: Device Setup 17 Device Setup 䢇 You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see “Call Forwarding” on page 73). As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your device searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, you may want to temporarily turn off your phone. While your phone is off, you can continue to use your device’s nonwireless features.

Section 1C Connecting to Your Computer ⽧ Why Connect My Device to My Computer? ⽧ Upgrading From Another Palm OS® Device ⽧ Installing the Desktop Synchronization Software ⽧ Connecting Your Treo Device to Your Computer ⽧ Synchronizing Information—The Basics Section 1C: Connecting to Your Computer Computer Connection In This Section 25
Why Connect My Device to My Computer? You can enter or change information on your device or on your computer (using Palm® Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows), and then synchronize to automatically update the information in both places, so there’s no need to enter it twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your device and your computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.
Upgrading From Another Palm OS® Device Note: If you are setting up your first Palm OS® device, skip ahead to “Connecting Your Treo Device to Your Computer” on page 32. When you install Palm Desktop software, some third-party applications may be quarantined because they are not compatible with the Palm OS software version 5.4.9 on your new Treo device.
䡲 Look at the numbers on the Free Space line and subtract the number on the left from the number on the right to calculate the space used. For example, on the device shown here, 22.4 17.5 = 4.9. This means that 4.9MB of space is occupied on this device. 2. If the space occupied on your old device is 60MB or less, go to step 3.
6. During the installation process, synchronize your new Treo device with your 7. (Mac users only) If you have pictures on your old device, copy them from your old device to an expansion card or beam them to your new Treo device. 8. If you plan to continue using your old device, perform a hard reset to remove its associated device name. (See the documentation that came with your old device for instructions on performing a hard reset.) Each device you synchronize with your computer must have a unique name.
Installing the Desktop Synchronization Software Even if you already own a Palm OS device and have installed a previous version of the desktop software, you must install the software from the Palm Software Installation CD that comes with your Treo 700P smart device. Note: If you are installing the software on a computer at work, make sure your company allows you to install new software. Contact your company’s IT department for help. 1.
3. If you are installing the software on a Mac, double-click the CD icon on the desktop, and then double-click the PalmSoftware.pkg icon. 4. When the installation wizard opens, follow the onscreen instructions. Please note these important points about the installation process: 䡲 You can choose which desktop software you want to use for synchronization: Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook (Windows only).
Connecting Your Treo Device to Your Computer 1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. 2. Plug the USB sync cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub on your computer. 3. With the sync button facing up, connect the sync cable to the bottom of your device. Do not press the sync button until you are instructed to do so. 4. Connect the charger cable to the connector on the sync cable. Sync Button Sync Cable You are now ready to synchronize.
Synchronizing Information—The Basics Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place (your device or your computer) is automatically updated in the other, so there’s no need to enter the information twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Treo device with your computer or corporate server frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.
How each application syncs depends on your computer type and the desktop software you are using, as follows: Computer Windows Desktop What Syncs and Where Outlook 䢇 䢇 Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and Tasks sync with Outlook. Pics&Videos syncs with Palm Desktop software. Windows Palm Desktop software All applications sync with Palm Desktop. Mac Palm Desktop software All applications sync with Palm Desktop.
2. Press the sync button on the sync cable. A message indicates that synchronization is in progress. 3. Wait for a message that indicates that the process is complete before you disconnect the sync cable. Tip: If you have any problems synchronizing, see “Synchronization” on page 321 for troubleshooting suggestions. If you’re finishing your initial setup, you now have the option to install bonus software from the Palm Software Installation CD.

S e c ti o n 8 A Important Safety Information In This Section General Precautions ⽧ Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device ⽧ Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device ⽧ Caring for the Battery ⽧ Radiofrequency (RF) Energy ⽧ Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Device ⽧ Owner’s Record ⽧ User’s Guide Proprietary Notice Safety ⽧ This guide contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your Treo™ 700P smart device.
General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your device properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. 䢇 Hold the device with the antenna over your shoulder. 䢇 Try not to hold, bend, or twist the device’s antenna. 䢇 Don’t use the device if the antenna is damaged. 䢇 Speak directly into the microphone. 䢇 Avoid exposing your device and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your device does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device Do Not Rely on Your Device’s Phone for Emergency Calls Wireless phones such as the one on your Treo device operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communication (for example, medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use.
Using Your Device’s Phone Near Other Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives. Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device Your Treo™ 700P smart device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product, please refer to www.palm.com/treoHAC. Your device has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise.
of your aids. Most new hearing aids have at least an M2 immunity level. Add the “M” ratings of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability: 䢇 Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use. 䢇 Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use. 䢇 Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable. Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “best use.
Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. 䢇 Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards.
䢇 䢇 It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing. Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules: 䡲 Less than one month: -4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C) 䡲 More than one month: -4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C) Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries Do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery as you can be burned.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy Understanding How Your Phone Operates Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode. Knowing Radiofrequency Safety The design of your Sprint PCS Treo device complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
Body-Worn Operation To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use the Sprint-supplied or -approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov.
The highest reported (FCC) SAR values of the Treo™ 700P smart device by Palm are: Maximum SAR Values CDMA Cellular CDMA PCS Held to Ear 1.48 (W/Kg) 1.13 (W/Kg) Body-Worn .896 (W/Kg) .589 (W/Kg) The highest reported (FCC) SAR values of the Treo™ 700P smart device by Palm on SM the Sprint Power Vision Network (EVDO mode) are: Maximum SAR Values Body-Worn EVDO Cellular .801 (W/Kg) EVDO PCS .
Static Electricity, ESD, and Your 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 annoyances.
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 device to your computer, placing the device in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device.
Owner’s Record The model number, regulatory number, and serial number are located on a nameplate inside the battery compartment. Record the serial number in the space provided below. This will be helpful if you need to contact us about your phone in the future. Model: Sprint Power Vision Smart Device Treo™ 700P , by Palm Serial No.
