Section 1C Connecting to Your Computer In This Section Synchronization Methods ⽧ What Can I Synchronize? ⽧ Setting Up Your Computer for Synchronization ⽧ Synchronizing With a USB Connection Synchronizing means that information that has been entered or updated in one place—your ® Palm Treo™ 800W smart device, your computer, or your corporate server—is automatically updated in the other. There’s no need to enter information twice.
Synchronization Methods There are a number of ways to make synchronization occur. You can install desktop sync software on your computer to synchronize, or you may be able to synchronize wirelessly with an Exchange server. You can also maximize your sync options and sync with both an Exchange server and desktop sync software.
Regardless of the desktop sync software you use, the sync application on your Treo is called ActiveSync. Synchronizing Wirelessly With the Server ® You can set up your Treo to synchronize email and other information wirelessly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or with Exchange Server 2003 upgraded to Service Pack 2 using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (see “Setting Up Wireless Synchronization” on page 308). If you choose this method, synchronization takes place automatically after setup.
If you set up synchronization with the desktop sync software, information in the Favorites application is synchronized by default as well. Did you know? Synchronizing Favorites gives you an easy way to get favorites from the Web browser on your computer into the Web browser on your Treo. Just add them to the folder called Mobile Favorites, which shows up in your computer’s browser. When you sync, they become available on your device as well.
The following table lists the types of information you can synchronize and the methods to use.
Setting Up Your Computer for Synchronization Before you can synchronize, the desktop sync software must be installed and you must connect the sync cable to your computer. If you have a Windows XP computer, you must install the software that came with your Treo on the Getting Started CD for Palm Treo 800w smart device, even if you already have a previous version of the desktop sync software installed on your computer.
Before You Begin Do the following: • 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. • If you want to sync pictures, videos, and music from your Windows Media Library, you must install Windows Media Player 10 or later before you install ActiveSync desktop software. 1. Close any applications that are currently running on your computer, including those running in the background.

(If you don’t see the ActiveSync icon in the taskbar, click Start > All Programs > Microsoft ActiveSync to open the ActiveSync window.) Tip You can set the ActiveSync window to open automatically when you connect your computer and your Treo.
Synchronizing With a USB Connection Every time you connect your Treo to your computer, the desktop sync software automatically turns on and checks whether changes you made on the computer or on the device need to be synchronized. Important Note 50 Use the USB sync cable that came with your Treo. If you need to use a replacement cable, make sure it is approved by Palm for use with your Treo 800W smart device. Using an unapproved cable may cause sync errors.
1. Plug the sync cable into a USB port or a powered USB hub on your computer. Connecting Computer * * Tip Sync Cable For best performance, plug your sync cable directly into a USB port on your computer. If your computer has USB ports on both the front and back, we suggest using the back port. If you use a USB hub, make sure it is a powered hub. 2. Connect the sync cable to the bottom of your Treo.
3. Check for synchronization progress: (If you don’t see the correct icons, make sure the desktop synchronization software that came with your Treo is running on your computer.) 䡲 On your Treo, look for the animated ActiveSync 䡲 On your computer, look for the animated Sync icon in the taskbar: XP) or icon at the top of your screen.

Headset Specifications You can use the headset that came with your Treo or compatible third-party headsets. Here are tips for selecting a headset: 䢇 Your Treo works with headsets that have a microUSB standard B connector that is USB 2.0 compatible. To use a headset with a 2.5mm, 3-pin connector, you must attach an adapter (sold separately). 䢇 When in doubt, ask the third-party headset manufacturer if the product is compatible with your Treo 800W smart device.
Before You Begin Before you can transfer a call between your Treo (with or without a wired headset) and a Bluetooth hands-free device, the Bluetooth device must be within range of your Treo and you must have previously set up a partnership with the Bluetooth device. To learn how to set up and connect to Bluetooth ® devices, see “Connecting to Devices With Bluetooth Wireless Technology” on page 196.
Customizing Phone Settings Before You Begin Turn on your phone to access your phone settings. See “Turning Your Phone On and Off” on page 35. Selecting Ringtones and Vibrate Settings You can set various tones for various types of incoming phone calls and notifications. Did you know? You can download MP3, MIDI, QCELP, WAV, and WMA ringtones directly to your Treo (see “Downloading Files and Images From a Web Page” on page 176).

Setting Your Dialing Preferences Dialing preferences let you assign a prefix to your phone numbers. For example, you can automatically dial a 1 before all 10-digit phone numbers.
Setting Your Abbreviated Dialing Preferences Abbreviated dialing lets you simulate dialing numbers from your office’s phone system, so that you can dial an extension number rather than the complete number. For example, if your co-worker’s phone number is 1-555-222-1234, you may need to dial only the last five digits when you’re using a phone that’s part of your company’s phone system. In that case, you would dial 21234.

Section 8A Important Safety Information In This Section Safety ⽧ General Precautions ⽧ Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Palm Treo™ 800W Smart Device ⽧ Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device ⽧ Caring for the Battery ⽧ Radio Frequency (RF) Energy ⽧ Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Treo ⽧ Owner’s Record ⽧ User Guide Proprietary Notice ® WARNING This guide contains important operational and safety information that helps you safely use your Palm® Treo™ 800W smart device.
General Precautions There are several simple guidelines for operating your Treo properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. 䢇 Speak directly into the microphone. 䢇 Avoid exposing your Treo and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your Treo does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. 䢇 Although your Treo is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
Using Your Phone While Driving Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first. Tip Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or order by phone. Call 1-866-866-7509 or visit www.sprint.com/accessories. To operate your Treo safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in the air.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device Your Treo 800W smart device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product, please go to www.palm.com/treoHAC. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their wireless phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
䢇 Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable. Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you have a combined rating of six for “best use.” The same applies for T ratings. Sprint further suggests that you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.
