5.Tap the Alarm Sound pick list and select the sound level. 
6.Ta p  D o n e .

respond to this setting. Older games typically do not respond to this setting. 
Alarm LED and Alarm Vibrate settings
You can set alarms in Date Book, World Clock, Note Pad, and Voice Memo to 
remind yourself of important meetings or notes. When you enable the Alarm 
Vibrate and indicator light settings, your handheld vibrates and the indicator light 
blinks to notify you of alarms. This is useful when you want to turn the Alarm 
Sound off but still be notified by alarms.

Setting Communication Preferences
The Communication Preferences category enables you to access screens where you 
can modify Bluetooth, Connection, Network, and Phone settings. This section 
provides details about each of these screens.

Bluetooth Preferences
When another Bluetooth device is within range (typically 10 meters or 
approximately 30 feet) of your handheld, you can connect your handheld with 
Bluetooth devices such as:
■Mobile phones
■Computers
■LAN access points
■Palm OS® handhelds
The Bluetooth Preferences screen enables you to configure settings that determine 
how your handheld communicates with other Bluetooth devices. You can turn 
Bluetooth communication on and off, assign a name to your handheld for 
Bluetooth communication, and choose device discovery and wakeup settings.

Turning Bluetooth communication on and off
By default, the Bluetooth communication feature on your handheld is turned off. 
The default setting is designed to conserve battery power. When Bluetooth 
communication is off, you cannot communicate with other Bluetooth devices. You 
must turn on Bluetooth communication to use any of the Bluetooth 
communication features. Keep in mind that when Bluetooth communication is on, 
your battery will drain more quickly than when Bluetooth communication is off.
To turn on Bluetooth communication:
1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Bluetooth.
2.Tap the Bluetooth pick list and select On.
NOTESwitching Bluetooth On and Off may take several seconds. Please wait 
before continuing to step 3 below.
3.Ta p  D o n e .
Assigning a Bluetooth device name
The Bluetooth device name is similar to wearing a name tag. The name you assign 
to your handheld identifies you to other Bluetooth devices. When other users 
search for Bluetooth devices, your Bluetooth device name appears on their screen 
as a discovered device. If you do not enter a device name, your handheld sends the 
default name Palm OS handheld. 
To assign a Bluetooth name to your handheld:
1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Bluetooth.

Setting device discovery
Discovery is the process that Bluetooth devices use to find each other when they 
are within range of each other. When you initiate the discovery process, you find 
and select the devices with which you want to connect. 
The discovery process is typically initiated by an application. For example, when 
you connect your handheld with a mobile phone using the Phone Link application, 
Phone Link discovers phones equipped with Bluetooth technology within range in 
order to connect with one of those phones.
You can use the Discoverable and Bluetooth settings to achieve three discovery 
states on your handheld. The following is a description of setting combinations 
and the resulting discovery states:
■Bluetooth Off: When the Bluetooth setting is off, other users cannot discover 
your handheld. This is similar to locking your door with a dead bolt, a security 
chain, and disabling the door bell. When Bluetooth is off, you cannot access the 
Discoverable setting. See “Turning Bluetooth communication on and off” 
earlier in this chapter for instructions on turning Bluetooth communication on 
and off.
■Bluetooth On and Discoverable No: When your handheld and Bluetooth are on 
and the Discoverable setting is set to No, you can receive connections only from 
devices with which you have previously formed a trusted pair. This is similar 
to locking your door with a dead bolt and disabling the door bell, but any 
friends who already have the key can enter. By default, the Discoverable setting 
is enabled when Bluetooth is on. 
■Bluetooth On and Discoverable Yes: When your handheld is on, Bluetooth is on, 
and the Discoverable setting is set to Yes, you can receive connections from any 
Bluetooth device. You are automatically connected with devices with which you 
have previously formed a trusted pair, but you can refuse invitations to connect 
with unrecognized devices. This is similar to locking your front door with a 
dead bolt and enabling the door bell. Friends who already have the key can

enter freely, and if someone without a key rings the bell to request a connection, 
you can choose to open the door or ignore the request.
To disable discovery:
1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Bluetooth.
2.Tap the Discoverable pick list and select No.
3.Ta p  D o n e .
Allowing Wakeup
When your handheld is off, the Allow Wakeup setting determines whether your 
handheld wakes up when you receive a connection request from another Bluetooth 
device that knows your device name. When this setting is enabled, you can receive 
requested information when your handheld is off, and then review it later. You can 
allow wakeup at any time, during specific hours of the day, or not at all. By default, 
your handheld is set to not wake up.
For another Bluetooth device or application to wake up your handheld, the 
application must “remember” your device name. The BlueBoard and BlueChat 
applications on the Software Essentials CD-ROM can remember device names; 
however, Address Book, Memo Pad, Note Pad, and To Do List cannot remember 
device names and therefore cannot wake up another handheld. 
NOTEEnabling the Allow Wakeup setting uses battery power even when your 
handheld is turned off. Be sure to monitor your battery level.

Adding trusted devices
When you create a trusted pair, you enter an identical secret code on both devices. 
This secret code is called a passkey. The passkey enables you to create a list of 
Bluetooth devices from which you automatically accept communication. If a 
device with a recognized passkey attempts to communicate with your handheld, 
it bypasses the discovery and authentication process and automatically accepts the 
communication. If a device without a recognized passkey attempts to 
communicate with your handheld, it goes through the discovery and 
authentication process, and you can choose to accept or reject the communication.
To add a trusted device:
1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Bluetooth.
2.Ta p  Tr u s t e d  D e v i c e s .
3.Tap Add Device.
The discovery process begins, and the discovery screens appear.
4.When the Discovery Results screen appears, select the device you want to add 
as a trusted device. 
If the device you want to add as a trusted device does not appear on the 
discovery results list, tap Find More.

6.Enter the same passkey on your handheld and the trusted device.
Some Bluetooth devices have a built-in passkey; others enable you to choose the 
passkey; see the documentation included with your Bluetooth device for 
information. In either case you must use the same passkey for both the device 
and your handheld. 
Many phones also require you to put the phone into a mode where it can accept 
a key exchange for bonding in a trusted pair. See the documentation included 
with your phone for information.
