It may not turn on at all when you first remove it from the box. 1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. 2. Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the Treo with the word UP facing the same way as your Treo screen. 3. Wait for the LED to turn solid green. This may take up to 3 hours.Important Note: It is vital that you use only Sprint-approved AC adapter chargers. Use of unauthorized accessories could damage your phone and invalidate your warranty. LED
4Setting Up 4. Confirm your Treo is charging by checking the LED. If the battery is fully drained, it may take a few moments for the LED to turn on while charging.Red LED: battery is charging.Green LED: battery is fully charged. LED off: battery is not charging. Check the cable connection and the outlet to which it is connected. After you set up your Treo, the onscreen battery gauge displays power status:Full battery icon : battery is charged.Partial battery icon : battery has some power but is not fully charged.Empty battery icon : battery needs charging immediately.Red lightning bolt : battery is charging.Green lightning bolt : battery is fully charged. Battery lifeBattery life depends on individual use. Consumption factors include signal strength, backlight and speakerphone use, and whether calls are data or voice calls. When Wireless Mode is on, the Treo battery provides approximately 4 hours of talk time or approximately 10 days of standby time on the PCS, 1900 MHz band. Talk time is slightly lower when roaming on the cellular 800Mhz band. When Wireless Mode is off, the battery provides about 4 weeks of normal use. If the battery drains to the point where your Treo doesn’t turn on, the Treo stores your data safely for about 3 days. We recommend that you charge and synchronize your Treo every day, especially if you use your phone often. 5 Setting Up Maximizing battery lifeYou can increase the life of your Treo battery by following a few easy guidelines. Remember that battery life depends on how you use your Treo. • Charge your Treo whenever you’re at your desk. The Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery has a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus charging it after it is fully drained. • The wireless features of your Treo (phone, email, messaging, and Web) consume more power than its organizer features. However, if you spend a lot of time using the camera, games, media players, eBooks, or other Palm OS applications, keep an eye on the battery level and charge when necessary. • If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your Treo for a while, you may want to turn off Wireless Mode (see page 27). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see page 56). • As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your Treo searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, you may wish to temporarily turn off Wireless Mode. • Use the keyboard backlight (see page 34) only when you need it. Turn down the screen brightness (see page 128). • Decrease the Auto-off setting in General Preferences (see page 136). This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of inactivity.
