Why Connect My Device to My Computer? You need to install the desktop software and connect the sync cable so that you can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your device. You can use either Palm® Desktop software (included) or Microsoft Outlook for Windows (sold separately) as your synchronization software. Synchronization means you can enter or change information on your device or on your computer and then synchronize to automatically update the information in both places.
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 34. You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous Palm OS device to your new Treo™ 755P smart device by Palm. This includes your calendar events, contacts, memos, and tasks, as well as your application settings and any compatible third-party applications and files.
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.
䡲 䡲 Indicate whether you want to sync all applications or only PIM (personal information management) applications. Select a device name for your new device; be sure to select the same name that you used for your old device. (This is the name that appears in the User list in Palm Desktop software.) 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.
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 755P smart device by Palm. 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.
4. When the installation wizard opens, follow the onscreen instructions. Please note these important points about the installation process: 䡲 (Windows only) You can choose which desktop software you want to use for synchronization: Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook. (Microsoft Outlook desktop software sold separately. Microsoft Outlook synchronization conduit included.
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 charger jack. Sync Button Sync Cable Charger Cable You are now ready to synchronize. Go to “Synchronizing Information—The Basics” on page 35.
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 Desktop Windows Outlook What Syncs and Where 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. Sync Button Tip: If you have any problems synchronizing, see “Synchronization” on page 294 for troubleshooting suggestions. If you’re finishing your initial setup, you now have the option to install bonus software from www.palm.com/mypalm/755psprint-bonus. If you choose to install some of the bonus software, you need to sync again to install the software on your device. To install bonus software later, see “Installing Applications” on page 235.

Check with your service provider to see if any provider-specific requirements exist. Service provider settings change frequently.
䢇 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. Check with your email service provider for the correct outgoing mail server name.
You can change the setting in VersaMail preferences to download fewer than three days’ worth of messages (in which case, more-recent messages are deleted from your Inbox), or to download all messages regardless of the date (in which case all messages continue to appear in your Inbox).
䢇 If a text message arrives but does not display an alert, perform a soft reset (see “Soft Reset” on page 288). I Can’t Send or Receive Sprint Picture Mail Messages 䢇 Make sure your phone is turned on (see “Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off” on page 55). 䢇 Contact Sprint to verify that your plan includes Sprint Picture Mail messaging services, that these services have been correctly activated, and that they are available at your location.

S e c ti o n 8 A Safety Important Safety Information In This Section ⽧ 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 This guide contains important operational and safety information to help you safely use your Treo™ 755P smart device by Palm.
General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your device properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. 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. 䢇 Although your device is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, or bending it, or sitting on it.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device 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. Check with your local service provider for details.
RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment. Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories. Safety Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device Your Treo device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device and/or its phone, or make calls that increase your Sprint Invoice.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device SM Your Sprint Power Vision smart device Treo™ 755P by Palm 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.
Safety hearing aid. Add the rating 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.” This is synonymous for T ratings.

Caring for the 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.
Battery Safety Information 䢇 Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred. 䢇 Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard. 䢇 Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified. 䢇 Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per this standard.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy 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 Treo 755P smart device by Palm complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring, and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design, and other factors.
Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Device 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. 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.
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.
