Finding Your Phone’s ESNIf you set up service using your PCS Phone, the network automatically 
communicates the ESN to us. You’ll only need this number when you’re setting up 
service online at 
activate.sprintpcs.com
 or calling us from a phone other than your 
new PCS Phone. The ESN DEC, or Electronic Serial Number (Decimal), is an 
11-digit number written on the barcode sticker on the back of your phone. 
After writing down the ESN, turn on your phone by holding down the Wireless 
Mode button   on the top of your phone for a few seconds.

Preparing Your ComputerSynchronization allows you to enter information on your computer in an 
application called Palm Desktop or in Microsoft
® Outlook
® and then efficiently 
transfer that information to your Treo. At the same time, changes you make on the 
Treo are transferred to Palm Desktop software or to Microsoft Outlook. Even if 
you manage all your contacts on your Treo, synchronization is a great way to back 
up your data.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the Palm Desktop synchronization 
software on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered device and 
have installed a previous version of the Palm Desktop software, install the 
software that comes on the CD with your Treo.
We strongly recommend that you install the Palm Desktop synchronization 
software soon after you start using your Treo and that you synchronize your Treo 
and computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in 
both locations.
