Ti p :  If you installed Palm Desktop software for the first time when you 
purchased your PCS Treo 300, the Palm Desktop software is located in the 
Handspring folder. If you upgraded from a previous version of Palm 
Desktop software, these files are most likely located in the Palm folder.
Removing Palm Desktop software
Removing Palm Desktop software also removes HotSync Manager. If you 
remove this software from your computer, you cannot synchronize your 
data. So, we highly recommend leaving Palm Desktop software on your 
computer.
To remove Palm Desktop software: 
1.
From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs, Handspring (or 
Palm) and then Uninstall.
2.Click Ye s to uninstall the software.
Security
Your phone comes with a Security application so that unauthorized users 
cannot view the entries you wish to protect. To access the Security 
application, you must first select either the 
All or System category from 
the Applications Launcher.
Note: The Security Preferences screen in the PhoneBook application 
provides a separate lock for the wireless mode features. The wireless 
mode lock prevents accidental initiation of voice or data calls. When 
wireless mode is locked, you can still use the handheld mode features 
without unlocking wireless mode. See page 111 for information on locking 
wireless mode.
