							Charging the battery
Before using your Treo, you need to charge the battery. It may not turn on at
all when you first remove it from the box. We recommend three hours for a
full charge, or until the LED is solid green. 
1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. If necessary, connect an adapter.
2. Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the Treo with the word UP
facing the same way as your Treo screen.
A. LED
3. To confirm your Treo is charging, check the LED. 
•When the LED is solid red, your Treo is charging.
•When the LED turns solid green, your Treo is fully charged. 
•If the LED does not turn on when you connect your Treo to the
charger, double-check the cable connection and the electrical outlet
to which it is connected.
After you turn on your Treo, the onscreen battery gauge displays power status:
•Full battery icon: Battery is charged
•Partial battery icon: Battery has some power and is not charging
•Empty battery icon: Battery needs charging immediately
•Red lightning bolt: Charging
•Green lightning bolt with full battery: Fully charged

							Inserting the SIM card
Your Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card contains account information such
as your phone number and voicemail access number. To use the phone, email,
or web features of your Treo, you need to insert the SIM card. If a SIM card
did not come with your Treo, your mobile service provider will give you one
when you subscribe. If you have an older, 5-volt SIM card, you should request
a newer, 3-volt SIM. This Treo is not compatible with older 5-volt SIM cards.

							Turning Treo on and off
You can use the Palm OS features of your Treo independently of the
wireless features and applications. Therefore, the screen and Wireless Mode
are designed to be turned off and on separately.
Turning the screen on and off
1.  Press the Screen button  to turn on the screen. 
2. Briefly press the Screen button  to turn off the screen.
Turning Wireless Mode on and off
Wireless Mode allows your Treo to connect to a mobile network so that you
can make and receive phone calls and use other wireless services. 
1.  Press and hold the Wireless Mode button to turn on Wireless Mode.
You will hear a series of ascending tones. When Wireless Mode is on,
your Treo connects to a mobile network, and you can use the phone and
Internet features (if supported by the local network).
2. Press and hold the Wireless Mode button again to turn off Wireless
Mode. You will hear a series of descending tones. When Wireless Mode
is off, your Treo does not have a connection to any mobile network. You
can still use the organizer and other Palm OS features. This is ideal for
airplane flights and for maximizing battery life.
14 ::   Turning Treo on and off
Treo includes a keyboard
backlight for nighttime use.
The keyboard backlight

Some third-party applications
may not work with 5-way
navigation, and you must use
the stylus instead.
In this guide, we use arrow
icons to indicate directions
on your Treo’s 5-way
navigation control. These are
different from any onscreen
arrows that you tap with
your stylus or select with
the 5-way control to display
pick lists. 
5-way buttons:
On screen arrows: 
						

							•Tap an onscreen scroll arrow:
•Press Option and Up  or Down  to scroll to the next page of
information within the current record. 
•When inside a text field, press Up  and Down  to scroll through
the text.
•Drag the slider of an onscreen scroll bar.
Highlighting items
The 5-way navigation control lets you highlight items before launching or
selecting them. 
•When an onscreen button (OK, Cancel, etc.) or pick list is highlighted, the
button acquires a blue glow around its border.
•When a phone number, email address or web link is highlighted on a web
page or in a message, the text appears in reverse type (light text on a
dark background).
•When an entire text entry field is highlighted, you can press Center to
edit the text. After you edit the text, press Center again to highlight the
entire field.

Once you’ve launched an
application (see page 25),
you can experiment with
using the navigation control
to highlight different screen
elements. 
						

							You can also use the stylus to highlight text on the screen. When text is
highlighted it appears in reverse type.
•Drag the stylus across the text you want to highlight.
•Double-tap a word to highlight it.
•Triple-tap a line of text to highlight it.
Accessing command buttons
Command buttons, such as New, OK, and Details appear at the bottom of
the screen. In many cases you can jump directly to these buttons instead of
scrolling to them.
•From a list screen, such as the Contacts list or Mail inbox, press Right to
jump to the first button.
•From a screen where you create or edit entries, such as Edit Contacts or
Day View in Calendar, press Center to jump to the first button.
•From a dialog box, such as the Edit Categories, press Right to scroll to
the first button, or press Option then Return for OK, or Option
then Backspace  for Cancel.
Choosing or activating items
After highlighting an item with the 5-way navigation control, you can choose
or activate it by pressing Center. You can also choose an item by tapping it
with the stylus.
Selecting menu items
Many applications have menus to provide access to additional features.
These menus are usually hidden from view, but they appear when you
press Menu . To get the most out of your Treo, it’s a good idea to
familiarize yourself with the additional features available through the
various application menus.
