Charging the battery
Although the battery may come with a
sufficient charge to complete the setup
process, we recommend that after setup
you charge your smartphone for three
hours (or until the indicator light is solid
green) to give it a full charge. See
Maximising battery life for tips on making
your battery’s power last longer.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure the
battery is inserted in your smartphone
before you charge. If you connect your
smartphone to a power source without the
battery inserted, nothing happens.

TIP
Maximising battery life
Battery life depends on how you use your
smartphone. You can maximise the life of
your battery by following a few easy
guidelines:
•
Charge your smartphone whenever
you’re at your desk, or charge
it overnight each day. The battery in
your smartphone has a much longer
useful life if you charge it frequently
instead of waiting until it’s fully drained.
•
If you spend a lot of time using the
camera, games, media players
(including listening to music with
wireless headphones using the built-in
Bluetooth® wireless technology), or
other applications, keep an eye on the
battery icon and charge when
necessary.

The wireless features (phone, email,
messaging, and web) on your
smartphone generally consume more
power than the organiser features.
If you don’t plan to use the wireless
features on your smartphone for a
while, turn off your wireless services
(see Turning wireless services on/off).
You can forward calls to a different
number or let all calls be picked up by
voicemail (see Forwarding calls). To see
if your wireless services are on, press
Power

If you are synchronising email and other
information directly with your corporate
Exchange server using Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync®, set the
synchronisation interval to a maximum
of every 15 minutes during peak times
and every hour (or turned off
completely) during non-peak times (see
Setting the synchronisation schedule).
•
As with any mobile phone, if you are in
an area with no wireless coverage, your
smartphone searches for a signal,
which consumes power. If you cannot
move to an area of better coverage,
temporarily turn off your phone (see

contexts, these keys may do nothing at all.
In most cases the right softkey
opens the menu, and the left softkey
activates a specific command, such as

TIP
Dialling by contact name
•
First name (JOH for John)
You can look up contacts quickly by
entering just a few letters of a contact’s
name directly from your Today screen.
•
Last name (SMI for Smith)
•
First initial, a space, and then last
initial (J S for John Smith)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
•
A few letters of the first name, a
space, and then a few letters of the
last name (JOH SMI for John Smith)
•
Before you can dial a number by contact
name, you must create some contacts
(see Adding a contact,) or import them
by synchronising (see Synchronising
information).
Make sure your phone is on and that
you’re inside a coverage area (see
Turning your phone on).
1 Press Home

2 Using the keyboard, begin entering one
of the following for the contact you
want to call:
MAKING CALLS FROM THE HOME SCREEN
For example, entering SM finds both
Smilla Anderson and John Smith.
Entering SM AN finds only Smilla
Anderson.
You can type letters from the last name
first; for example, typing “S J” or “Smi Joh”
also finds “John Smith.”
TIP
The search function offers
several features that make it easy to find the
contact you want, even if you are not sure of
the exact name: 1) Search results include
name variations, such as “David” for “Dave.”
2) The search function inserts a space before
the last letter typed in if it cannot find a match.
So if entering “Davidm” returns to no results,
the search function automatically tries to
search for “David M.” 3) Search results
include soundalike entries, so entering
“Dwayne” returns results for “Duane” also.

Synchronising information
Synchronising means that information that has been entered or
updated in one place—your Palm® Treo™ 500v smartphone, your
computer, or your corporate server—is automatically updated in
the other. There’s no need to enter information twice. Some
types of synchronisation can happen on an automated schedule,
so you don’t even have to think about it.
After you get into the habit of synchronising regularly, you’ll
know what a powerful tool synchronisation is for transferring,
updating, and backing up large amounts of information on your
smartphone.
Benefits
•
Quickly enter and update
information on your computer and
your smartphone
•
Protect your information
•

overview
How do I
synchronise?
This chapter discusses using desktop sync
software and other methods to
synchronise your smartphone and your
computer.
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.
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).
CHAPTER
SYNCHRONISING INFORMATION
Synchronising wirelessly with the server
You 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
SYNCHRONISATION OVERVIEW

CHAPTER
SYNCHRONISING INFORMATION
you 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
software
BEFORE 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:
70
•
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)
WHAT CAN I SYNCHRONISE?
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.
If 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.
TIP
If 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).
CHAPTER
SYNCHRONISING INFORMATION
If 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
TIP
This table lists the types of info you can
synchronise and the methods to use.
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.

TIP
Setting up wireless
synchronisation
Does 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
Setting up your computer for
synchronisation

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).
SETTING UP WIRELESS SYNCHRONISATION
73
SYNCHRONISING INFORMATION
CHAPTER
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.
NOTE 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:
•
74
Mail server address and domain name.
SETTING UP WIRELESS SYNCHRONISATION
If you use Outlook Web
Access (OWA) services, the mail server
address is usually the same as your OWA
address.
DID YOU KNOW?
If you use hosted Exchange services,
contact the host company to get the domain
name.
TIP
•
The username and password you use to
access your corporate mail server.
•
Security connection: Does your server
use an encrypted (SSL) connection?
If 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.
