To send and receive e-mail directly from and to your handheld, you must create a 
configuration in Connection Preferences, and then create Network Preferences 
settings. See “Connection Preferences” earlier in this chapter for a complete 
explanation of how to define connection configurations that enable your handheld 
to communicate with remote devices. 
After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences, you can 
establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server. 
You can do this either by using menu commands from the Network Preferences 
screen or by using a third-party application. 
NOTEThe Network Preferences settings enable you to connect to your ISP or dial-in 
server with applications that support viewing the transmitted data. Visit 
www.palm.com
 for information on third-party applications that take advantage of 
TCP/IP.
Creating and selecting network service profiles
Use network service profiles to store the configuration settings for your ISP or for 
a dial-in server. You can create, save, and reuse network service profiles. You can

Disabling Call Waiting
Call Waiting can cause your session to terminate if you receive a call while you are 
connected. If your telephone has Call Waiting, you need to disable this feature 
before logging in to your ISP or dial-in server.
To disable Call Waiting:
1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Network.
2.Tap the Phone box.
3.Tap the Disable call waiting check box to select it.
4.Enter the code to disable Call Waiting on the Disable call waiting line.
Each telephone company assigns a code to disable Call Waiting. Contact your 
local telephone company for the code that is appropriate for you.
5.Tap OK, and then tap Done.
Using a calling card
The Use calling card field enables you to use your calling card when dialing your 
ISP or intranet server. Keep in mind that there is usually a delay before you enter 
your calling card number. When you define your calling card number, you need to 
add commas at the beginning to compensate for this delay. Each comma delays 
transmission of your calling card number for two seconds.
To use a calling card:
1.From the Communications Preferences list, select Network.
2.Tap the Phone box.
Enter your disable 
code here Select this 
box if you 
need to 
disable Call 
Waiting

3.Tap the Use calling card check box to select it.
4.Enter your calling card number on the Use calling card line.
NOTEThe Phone Setup dialog box works correctly for AT&T and Sprint 
long-distance services. However, because MCI works differently, MCI 
customers need to enter the calling card number in the Phone # field and the 
phone number in the Use calling card field.
TIPIt’s a good idea to add at least three commas before your calling card 
number to compensate for the cue delay.

After you set your Connection and Network Preferences, establishing a connection 
to your ISP or your company’s network (dial-in server) is easy.

web browser or news reader, to take advantage of this connection. For information 
about third-party applications that support TCP/IP, check www.palm.com.
