Battery life:: 31Battery lifeBattery life depends on individual usage. When used as a phone, yourTreo battery provides approximately 5 hours of talk time or 10 days ofstandby time. When used as an organizer only (no phone), the batteryprovides about 10 days of normal use. Maximizing battery lifeYou can increase the life of your Treo battery by following a few easyguidelines. Remember that battery life depends on how you use your Treo.•Charge your Treo whenever you’re at your desk. The Li-Ion battery in yourTreo has a much longer useful life when it is topped offfrequently, versuscharging it after it is fully drained.•The wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and web) of your Treogenerally consume more power than its organizer features. However, ifyou spend a lot of time using the camera, games, media players, eBooks,or other Palm OS applications, keep an eye on the battery level andcharge when necessary.•If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your Treo for a while, youmay want to turn off Wireless Mode (see page 14). You can forward calls toa different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see page 45).•As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wirelesscoverage, your Treo searches for a signal, which consumes power. If youcannot move to an area of better coverage, you may wish to temporarilyturn off Wireless Mode. •Use the keyboard backlight (see page 22) only when you need it. •Turn down the screen brightness (see page 114).•Decrease the Auto-off setting in General Preferences (see page 120).This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of inactivity.Synchronizing contacts andother personal dataBefore you can synchronize your contacts and other personal data, youmust install the Palm Desktop software from the CD that came with yourTreo. See page 29 for instructions.1. Connect your Treo to your computer as described on page 26.2. Press the HotSync button on the cable.A. HotSync button3. Wait for your Treo to display a message indicating that the process iscomplete.•If nothing happens, make sure that you installed the Palm Desktopsoftware and that the HotSync Manager application is running onyour computer ( ).•If you want to synchronize data with applications other than PalmDesktop or Microsoft Outlook, you need to purchase additional third-party conduit software. •If you have any problems performing a HotSync operation, see pages137-139 for troubleshooting suggestions.AIMPORTANT: You mustcharge your Treo fullybefore using it the firsttime. Wait until the LEDturns solid green which maytake up to three hours.If the battery drains to thepoint where your Treodoesn’t turn on, the Treostores your data safely forabout three days. Werecommend that you chargeand synchronize your Treoevery day, especially if youuse your phone often.If the battery is fullydrained, it may take a fewmoments for the LED toturn on while charging.30 :: Synchronizing contacts and other personal dataWe strongly recommend thatyou install the Palm Desktopsynchronization softwaresoon after you start usingyour Treo, and that yousynchronize your Treo andcomputer frequently to keepyour information up-to-date(and backed up) in bothlocations.

Third-party applications :: 145Third-party applicationsOn rare occasions, third-party applications can cause conflicts on your Treo.Third-party applications that modify wireless features may require extratroubleshooting.If you recently installed an application and your Treo seems to be stuck,try the following: 1. Perform a soft reset (see page 131).2. If the problem persists, perform a system reset (see page 131). 3. Delete the most recently installed application from your Treo (see page 103).4. If the problem persists, perform another system reset.5. Delete other third-party applications one at a time until you eliminatethe problem.6. If none of the steps above are possible, you may wish to perform a hardreset (see page 132). Then, locate your Backup folder on your computer(Windows: C:\Program Files\Handspring\user name; Macintosh: MacHD\Applications\Palm\Users\user name). If you find a .prc or .pdb file forany applications you just removed, delete the file(s) from the Backup folder.Then, perform a HotSync operation to restore your data and applications.Remember, not all third-party applications were written with the Treo keyboardand 5-way navigation in mind. You may encounter strange behavior or errorsin these applications if you use the keyboard and navigation control.Getting more helpContact the author or vendor of any third-party software if you requirefurther assistance. CameraThe Camera application takes pictures at Small picture size (160x120pixels) and Large picture size (640x480 pixels, or .3 megapixel). Here aresome tips for taking good pictures with the built-in camera:•Clean the camera’s lens with a soft, lint-free cloth.•Take pictures in bright lighting conditions. Low-light images may begrainy, due to the sensitivity of the camera.•Hold the camera as still as possible. You may want to support your picture-taking arm up against your body or a stationary object (such as a wall).•Keep the subject of the pictures still. Exposure time is longer with lowerlight levels, so you may see a blur.•For best results, verify that you have the brightest light source comingfrom behind you, lighting the subject’s face. Don’t take indoor pictureswith the subject in front of a window or light.•Make sure the subject is at least 18 inches away from the camera toensure good focus.Remember, when you synchronize, your Camera images are stored in theTreo Pictures folder on your hard drive (see page 62).144 :: Camera
Making room on your Treo :: 147Making room on your TreoIf you store a large number of records, or install many third-partyapplications, the internal memory on your Treo may fill up. Here are somecommon ways to clear space on your Treo:•Mail: Emails that have large attachments can quickly consume memoryon your Treo. Delete emails with large attachments. If you have hundredsof messages with or without attachments, you may wish to delete oldermessages to make room (see page 78).•Camera: Large size images take up a lot of memory. Move images to anexpansion card or delete images from your Treo (see page 62).•MMS: Multimedia content also can consume excessive memory. MoveMMS content to an expansion card or delete large files from your Treo(see page 71).•Internet: If you have set a large Blazer cache, you may wish to useBlazer’s advanced Memory Management settings to clear all recentpages (see page 59).•Third-party applications: You can delete infrequently used applications ormove them to an expansion card (see page 103).Also, remember that your Treo includes an expansion slot, and that you canstore applications and data on expansion cards. However, you still need somefree memory on the Treo itself to run applications from an expansion card.ErrorsYour Treo is designed to minimize interruptions, when a system error occurs.If Treo encounters a system error, it automatically resets itself and resumesfunctioning as normal. If possible, it even turns Wireless Mode back on if itwas on before the error occurred.Sometimes, you might want to know more about an error. Treo uses aspecial interface to show error messages in greater detail.1. Press Phone .2. Press Center, then choose Dial Pad.3. Type # *377, then press Center.4. Review the screen with details about the conditions that lead up to themost recent automatic reset. 5. Choose OK.Please note that third-party developers create their own error messages. Ifyou do not understand an error message, please contact the developer ofthe application for help.146 :: Errors

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) Thisdevice may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device mustaccept any interference received, including interference that maycause undesired operation.This device has been tested and found to comply with the limitsfor a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection againstharmful interference in a residential installation. This equipmentgenerates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if notinstalled and used in accordance with the instructions, may causeharmful interference to radio communications. However, there is noguarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio ortelevision reception, which can be determined by turning theequipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct theinterference by one or more of the following measures:•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver•Connect the equipment into an outlet or circuit different from thatto which the receiver is connectedConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for helpand for additional suggestions.RF Safety Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy (SAR) Radiotransmitting devices radiate Radio Frequency (RF) energy during itsoperation. RF energy can be absorbed into the human body andpotentially can cause adverse health effects if excessive levels areabsorbed. The unit of measurement for human exposure to RFenergy is “Specific Absorption Rate” (SAR).The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), IndustrieCanada (IC), and other agencies around the world have establishedlimits that incorporate a substantial safety margin designed toassure the safety of all persons using this equipment. In order to certify this unit for sale in the US, Canada and Europethis unit has been tested for RF exposure compliance at a qualifiedtest laboratory and found to comply with the regulations regardingexposure to RF Energy.SAR was measured with the unit transmitting at its maximumcertified RF power. Often, however, during normal operation the unitwill transmit much less than maximum power. Transmit power iscontrolled automatically and, in general is reduced as you get closerto a cellular base station. This reduction in transmit power will resultin a lower RF energy exposure and resulting SAR value.150 :: FCCindex5-way navigation control 10, 15,18–21, 26, 36–40, 42–44,47–48, 50–51, 82, 95, 121,128, 129, 1455-way calling.
