Page 6  Charging the BatteryCharging the BatteryWhen wireless mode is on, your communicator battery provides approximately 3 hours of talk time or 150 hours of standby time. When wireless mode is off, the battery provides about 1 week of normal use in handheld mode. It takes about 2 hours to charge a fully drained battery. If the battery drains to the point where your communicator doesn’t turn on, it stores your data safely for about 3 days. We recommend that you charge your communicator every day, especially if you use your phone often.To charge the battery do one of the following:■When you’re near your computer, connect your communicator to the HotSync® cable with the travel charger connected to a wall outlet as shown on page 29.■When travelling, connect the travel charger cable directly to your communicator as shown here.Tip: The LED is solid red while your communicator charges. When the LED turns solid green, your communicator is charged. If the LED does not turn on, make sure the travel charger cable is connected to a wall outlet and that the cable is securely connected to your communicator.LED

Page 28  Synchronizing Data with Your ComputerSynchronizing Data with Your ComputerYou can use the synchronization features of Palm Desktop software and your HotSync cable to exchange data between your Treo and your computer. This process is called a HotSync operation. Each time you perform a HotSync operation, any information you entered or changed on your Treo is copied to your computer and vice versa. This backs up your data and is strongly advised.Before you perform a HotSync operation, you need to connect the HotSync cable to your computer and install the Palm Desktop software from the Handspring CD. You can connect the USB cable that comes with your Treo, or you can purchase a serial cable at www.handspring.com. Computer system requirementsUSB HotSync cable■Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Mac OS 8.5 or later■Available USB port■CD-ROM drive■Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher (recommended)Serial HotSync cable (sold separately)■Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, orWindows XP■Available serial port■CD-ROM drive■Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher (recommended)
Synchronizing Data with Your Computer Page 29Connecting the HotSync cable1. Connect the travel charger cable to the short end of the HotSync cable.

If any third party applications or data did not get installed, beam them from your old handheld to your Treo. 6. After you upgrade you have two devices with the same user name. Since each device must have a unique name, perform a hard reset (see page 33) on your old handheld to remove the user name and avoid problems synchronizing with that device. The next time you synchronize that device, be sure to assign it a new name.Installing the desktop software1. Insert the Handspring CD in the CD-ROM drive on your computer.2. If you’re using a Macintosh, double-click the Handspring CD icon on the desktop, and then double-click the Installer icon.3.
