							Upgrading from another Palm
Powered device
To transfer all compatible applications and data from your previous device to
your new Treo: 
1. Perform a HotSync operation with your old device and your old desktop
software to back up your data one last time. 
2. Install the Palm Desktop synchronization software from the CD that
came with your Treo (see page 29). During the installation process,
perform a HotSync operation with your new Treo. When prompted to
choose a user name for your new Treo, be sure to select the existing
user name for your 
olddevice.
3. Some third-party applications may be quarantined by the HotSync Manager
because they are not compatible with the Palm OS 5.2 on your Treo. Do not
manually install any quarantined files (see the documentation that came with
the third-party applications for more information).
4. If you plan to continue using your old device, perform a hard reset (see
page 132) to remove its associated user name. Each device you
synchronize with your computer must have a unique name. The next time
you synchronize with your 
olddevice, be sure to assign it a new user name.
After upgrading, there are a few things you need to know about your new Treo:
•Address Book:This application is now called Contacts. To launch
Contacts, press Phone , then use the 5-way navigation control to
choose Contacts.
•Date Book+:This application is now called Calendar. To access this
application, press Calendar .
128 ::   Upgrading from another Palm Powered device
Always use the same
language for your Treo and
your desktop software.
Otherwise, you may lose
data. 
						

							Upgrading from another Palm Powered device::   129
•Applications Launcher:Some previous Palm Powered devices called this
the Home screen. To access this screen, press Applications Launcher .
•Find: Some previous Palm Powered devices launched this global search
engine by tapping the magnifying glass icon in the Graffiti area. Now you
can access it by pressing Option and Shift  together.
•Menu commands:Users familiar with Graffiti’s Menu launch command
can now access system menus by pressing Menu (see page 22).
•Backlight:Treo includes a keyboard backlight that also dims the screen
slightly for low light conditions. While your Treo screen is on, press
Option then P to turn on the keyboard backlight.
•Center button:If you used a previous Treo phone, you might be
accustomed to pressing Spacebar to activate commands or dial numbers.
With this Treo phone, we recommend pressing Center instead.
•Screen button:The fourth button on the right is used to control the
screen and is not an application button. However, you can remap this
button to your favorite application if you wish (see page 117).
•Internet connection:This Treo was designed to work on GPRS wireless
data networks. When you sign up for a GPRS wireless data account,
these settings are automatically configured on your Treo. If you prefer to
use an older, manual dial-up connection method, enter your Internet
service provider’s settings in Network Preferences.
•5-way navigation compatibility: Some Palm OS 5 applications are optimized
for 5-way navigation on devices other than Treo. Therefore you may notice
inconsistencies with software that is not designed with Treo in mind. 
To access a menu shortcut,
press Menu, then the letter
for the shortcut.
Some third-party utilities
allow you to backup your
old device’s data onto an
SD or MMC card, and then
transfer the data to your
Treo. We do not recommend
this method because any
incompatible applications
are also transferred to your
Tr eo.  
						

							Trouble installing Palm
Desktop?
The CD included with your Treo installs the software and drivers that let you
synchronize with Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows.
If you want to synchronize with a different Personal Information Manager
(PIM), you must install a third-party solution. Contact the PIM’s author or
vendor to learn if software is available for your Treo.
1. Restart your computer.
2. Quit any active applications, including virus scanners and Internet security
applications.
3. Make sure you’re installing the version of Palm Desktop that came on
the CD with your Treo. Other versions of Palm Desktop may not work
with this Treo.
4. Make sure your computer profile includes administrator rights to install
software. In large organizations, these are usually granted by the system
administrator.
