You can use either the headset that came with your smartphone or a compatible third-party headset.IMPORTANT If driving while using a smartphone is permitted where you are and you need to make a call, we recommend using a phone headset or a hands-free car kit (sold separately). If you must use the wired headset while driving, place a speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear free to hear outside noises. Make such a call only if it is legal to do so and you can do so safely.Using a wired headsetMicrophoneSpeakersHeadset button
YOUR PHONEUSING A PHONE HEADSET524CHAPTERThe headset button is context-sensitive, and it performs various actions based on the situation. You can press the headset button to perform tasks such as the following:•Answer an incoming call•Respond to call waiting•Hang up a single active call or all calls on a conference call if there is no extracted call•Swap between calls if there is one active call and one call on holdNOTE Your smartphone works with headsets that have a 2.5mm, 3-pin connector (look for three coloured bands on the plug). When in doubt, ask the third-party headset manufacturer if the product is compatible with your smartphone. If you hear a headset buzz or poor microphone performance, your headset may be incompatible with your smartphone.Connecting to a Bluetooth® hands-free deviceYour smartphone is also compatible with many headsets and car kits (sold separately) enabled with Bluetooth® wireless technology version 2.0 or earlier. For a list of compatible hands-free devices with Bluetooth wireless technology, go to go.palm.com/treo500v.After you set up a connection with a Bluetooth headset or hands-free car kit, you can communicate with that device whenever it is within range and the Bluetooth feature on your smartphone is turned on. The range varies greatly, depending on environmental factors. The maximum is about 9 meters.1If necessary, prepare the device with which you want to connect to accept a new connection. Check the device’s documentation for details. Be sure to find out if the device has a predefined passkey that you need to enter on your smartphone in step 9.2Press Home , and then press Start (left softkey).DID YOU KNOW?If you have both a compatible Bluetooth headset and a car kit, the one you connected to your smartphone last becomes the active device.

In either case, you must use the same passkey on both your smartphone and your hands-free device. We recommend that you use a passkey of 16 digits, where possible, to improve the security of your smartphone. The longer the passkey, the more difficult it is for the passkey to be deciphered.10 If the passkey is not predefined, enter the same passkey on the other Bluetooth device.DID YOU KNOW?The Bluetooth icon on your Today screen indicates the status of the Bluetooth feature See The Bluetooth status icon for details.

SYNCHRONISING INFORMATIONSYNCHRONISATION OVERVIEW 695CHAPTERSynchronisation overviewThis chapter discusses using desktop sync software and other methods to synchronise your smartphone and your computer.When you synchronise, info you enter on your smartphone, your computer, or your corporate server is automatically updated in the other location. There’s no need to enter the info twice. This is true whether you sync wirelessly with your company’s Exchange server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (see Setting up wireless synchronisation) or with your computer using desktop synchronisation software (see Setting up your computer for synchronisation).How do I synchronise?There are a number of ways to make synchronisation occur. You may be able to synchronise wirelessly with an Exchange server, or you can install desktop sync software on your computer to synchronise in one of several ways. You can also maximise your sync options and sync with both an Exchange server and desktop sync software to maximise your sync options.Synchronising wirelessly with the serverYou can set up your smartphone to synchronise email and other information wirelessly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (see Setting up wireless synchronisation). If you choose this method, synchronisation takes place automatically after setup. You do not need to install the software from the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD.NOTE We recommend that you install the desktop sync software from the CD even if
SYNCHRONISING INFORMATIONWHAT CAN I SYNCHRONISE?705CHAPTERyou synchronise wirelessly with the server. You need the desktop sync software to synchronise pictures, videos, music files, and other info directly with your computer.Synchronising with desktop sync softwareBEFORE YOU BEGIN Install the software from the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD, which came with your smartphone. You must install this software even if you have already installed a previous version of desktop sync software. See Installing ActiveSync desktop software: Windows XP or Installing Windows Mobile Device Center: Windows Vista for instructions. After you install desktop sync software, you can synchronise in either of the following ways:•By connecting your smartphone to your computer using the sync cable (see Synchronising using the sync cable)•By connecting your smartphone to your computer using Bluetooth® wireless technology (see Synchronising over a Bluetooth connection)If you have a Windows XP computer: The desktop sync software is called ActiveSync® desktop software. If you have a Windows Vista computer: The desktop sync software is called Windows Mobile Device Center. The sync application on your smartphone is called ActiveSync. What can I synchronise?If you have Microsoft Office Outlook® 2002 or later installed on your computer, by default, the following information is synchronised when you synchronise using either desktop sync software or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync: You can, however, customise sync settings to suit your needs and sync only some of these applications.
SYNCHRONISING INFORMATIONWHAT CAN I SYNCHRONISE? 715CHAPTERIf you set up synchronisation with your computer using the desktop sync software, information in the Favourites application is synchronised by default as well. These are your web favourites, not favourite contacts.You can also change settings to synchronise Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files, as well as pictures, music, videos, and other types of files (see Changing which applications sync). This table lists the types of info you can synchronise and the methods to use.TIPIf you don’t already have Outlook 2002 or later installed on your computer, you can install a trial version of Outlook 2007 from the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD. Insert the CD into your computer’s CD drive, select Add Programs (Windows XP) or Bonus Software (Windows Vista), and then select the link to download a trial version of Outlook 2007.DID YOU KNOW?Synchronising Favourites gives you an easy way to get web favourites from the web browser on your computer into the web browser on your smartphone. Just add them to the folder called Mobile Favourites, which shows up in your computer's browser. When you sync, they become available on your smartphone as well. Backup copies of any favourites that you add on the smartphone browser are also stored in the Mobile Favourites folder.TIPIf you want to synchronise with a personal information manager (PIM) other than Microsoft Office Outlook, you must install a third-party solution. Contact the PIM’s vendor to learn if software is available for your smartphone

SYNCHRONISING INFORMATIONSETTING UP WIRELESS SYNCHRONISATION 735CHAPTERSetting up wireless synchronisationDoes your company use Microsoft Outlook as its email solution? Does your company also use Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or 2007 as its email server? If so, you may be able to wirelessly synchronise the email and other Outlook info on your smartphone and the same info stored on the Exchange server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. If you are using Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2003 that has been upgraded to Service Pack 2, you may be able to take advantage of the additional features of Direct Push Technology. Direct Push Technology is a two-way wireless delivery method that keeps your Outlook information always up-to-date and provides more efficient communication between the server and your smartphone. It includes features like Global Address List; Tasks Over The Air (OTA); and IP-based push updating of Calendar, Messaging, and Inbox (email).Outlook Notes Desktop sync software Setting up your computer for synchronisationChanging which applications syncFiles to be transferred to an expansion cardDesktop sync software Setting up your computer for synchronisationChanging which applications syncInfo type Method Where to learn moreTIPIf you want to synchronise music and videos, you need to have Windows Media Player 10 or later installed on your computer. If you don’t already have Windows Media Player on your computer, you can download it from microsoft.com.
SYNCHRONISING INFORMATIONSETTING UP WIRELESS SYNCHRONISATION745CHAPTERNOTE Even if you sync with an Exchange Server, we recommend that you install the desktop sync software as well, to take full advantage of your smartphone’s capabilities.BEFORE YOU BEGIN To synchronise wirelessly, you need to set up an Exchange Server account. Work with your system administrator to gather the following info, and then follow the steps in this section to set up an account:•Mail server address and domain name.•The username and password you use to access your corporate mail server.•Security connection: Does your server use an encrypted (SSL) connection?1Press Home , and then press Centre .2Select Applications , and then select ActiveSync .DID YOU KNOW?Because your desktop copy of Outlook also syncs with the server, whatever is synchronised to the server from your smartphone also shows up in Outlook; and whatever you enter or change in Outlook on your computer syncs to the server and then shows up on your smartphone.DID YOU KNOW?You cannot synchronize email distribution lists wirelessly with the Exchange Server. However, you can search for a Global Address List in Contacts (see Finding a contact in an online address book) and add it as a single entry in your contact list. This contact entry can then synchronize with the server.DID YOU KNOW?If you use Outlook Web Access (OWA) services, the mail server address is usually the same as your OWA address.TIPIf you use hosted Exchange services, contact the host company to get the domain name.TIPIf you installed ActiveSync desktop software on a Windows XP computer, you may have already set up your smartphone to synchronise wirelessly with the server. To check, press Home, press Center on the 5-way, and then select Applications. Select Organiser & Tools, and then select ActiveSync. Press Menu (right softkey). If Configure Server appears instead of Add Server Source, wireless sync is already set up, and you can skip this procedure.
