Synchronizing your pdQ2 with a computer 43
DRAFT
To install the Palm Desktop Software
Do not simply copy the Palm Desktop files to your hard drive. The
installer decompresses the files and places them in their proper locations.
Before you begin, exit all programs. Do not attach the pdQ2 to the
computer during installation.
1. Insert the Palm Desktop CD into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2. If the introduction screen does not appear automatically, open the
Start menu and choose Run. Type the letter of your CD-ROM drive,
followed by a colon and the word setup. For example, if your
CD-ROM drive is drive D, type D:setup.
3. Click the Install button. Follow the instructions on the screen.
4. After you have installed the software, refer to the Help menu for
complete information about how to use Palm Desktop.
Connecting the cradle
If you plan to synchronize pdQ2 data with your computer, connect the
cradle to the computer. If you don’t plan to synchronize data, there is no
need to attach the cradle to the computer. You can use it to store and
recharge the pdQ2 by plugging in the power cable.
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Plug the serial cable from the cradle into the serial communications
(COM) port on your computer. Your pdQ2 requires a dedicated port.
It cannot share a port with an internal modem or other device.

DRAFT
3. Plug the power cable into the cradle and into a power outlet.
4. Turn on the computer.
Performing HotSync operations
The first time you synchronize data, you need to enter user information
on both the phone and the Palm Desktop. Once you enter this information
and synchronize, the HotSync Manager recognizes your phone and
doesn’t ask for this information again. You must perform your first
HotSync operation using the cradle, rather than using a modem.
Important considerations
■If you are a system administrator preparing several pdQ2s for a
group of users, see “Creating a user profile” on page 67 in the pdQ2

phone.
■If you are an existing Palm organizer user, back up your current files
to your computer before you perform a HotSync operation to the
pdQ2. Give your pdQ2 a different user name than your Palm
organizer. If problems occur with some applications, you may need to
delete the old files and reinstall them. See Chapter 5—Transferring
Information in the pdQ2 Reference Guide.
To perform your first HotSync operation
1. On your computer, double-click the Palm Desktop icon (or select
Palm Desktop from the Start menu).

Phone care
Use these guidelines to optimize the performance and life of your phone,
antenna, and battery.
Phone
❑Do not let unauthorized personnel install or service your phone or
accessories. Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and will
invalidate your warranty.
❑Only use approved accessories. Use of any unauthorized accessories
may be dangerous and will invalidate your phone warranty if the
accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone. See “Accessories”
on page 50.
❑Keep the phone dry. If the phone gets wet, turn the power off
immediately. Let it dry before you use it again. In general, treat the
pdQ2 as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic
instrument.
❑To avoid scratching the screen, always use the stylus or other plastic-
tipped pen intended for a touch-sensitive screen. Never use a pen,
pencil, or other sharp object on the surface of the screen.
❑Treat the phone gently. The touch-sensitive screen contains a glass
element. Do not drop the phone or subject it to any strong impact. Do
not carry your pdQ2 in your back pocket. If you sit on it, the glass
may break.

DRAFT
❑Protect the pdQ2 from temperature extremes. Do not leave it on the
dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heaters and
other heat sources. Store it out of direct sunlight.
❑Do not store or use the pdQ2 in any location that is extremely dusty,
damp, or wet.
❑Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the phone. Clean the screen with a soft
cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
❑Avoid using suntan lotion around the phone. Chemicals in suntan
lotions can damage your phone.
Antenna
Follow these guidelines to get the best reception.
❑Fully extend the antenna when you place or receive a call.
❑Do not touch the antenna while you are on a call. Do not bend or
twist the antenna.
❑When using the headset, keep the headset wire away from the
antenna.
❑When using the phone to connect to the Internet or send and receive
email, make sure the extended antenna is at least 20 centimeters (8
inches) away from other people and is pointed away from them.
Battery
Your pdQ2 has a rechargeable lithium ion battery. To charge the battery,
either plug the power cable directly into the phone or plug the power
cable into the cradle and place the phone in the cradle. You can purchase
pdq2_QuickStart.book Page 47 Friday, July 28, 2000 6:37 PM
48 pdQ2 User’s Guide
DRAFT
an additional battery, if you wish, and charge it in the cradle along with
the phone.
Tips for improving battery performance
❑Select a shorter “Auto-off after” time on the General Preferences
screen. This feature turns off the PDA after a set number of minutes
of non-use. The shorter a time you select, the more energy is saved.
See “Entering information” on page 19.
❑Minimize the use of the backlight.
❑If you don’t use the Beaming feature to receive data from other
devices, leave the Beam Receive setting at Off. See “Entering
information” on page 19.
❑If you don’t plan to make or receive calls, you can use the PDA
without turning on the phone.
❑Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
❑Keep the metal contacts at the base of the battery clean.
❑If you have not used an internal or external battery for more than a
month, recharge it before using it.
❑Do not charge any battery if the temperature is below 32ºF (0ºC) or
above 122ºF (50ºC).
❑Do not store any battery in hot areas for long periods of time. Use
these storage guidelines:
under 1 month: -4º to 140ºF (-20º to 60ºC)
over 1 month: -4ºF to 113ºF (-20º to 45ºC)

DRAFT
Replacing the battery
If you have to replace the battery in your pdQ2, be aware of the following
considerations.
❑If the battery becomes low, an alert appears on the screen. Before you
replace the battery, perform a HotSync operation to back up your
data. This helps prevent accidental data loss.
❑If the pdQ2 does not turn on when you press the End/Power key on
the keypad, recharge the battery immediately.
❑Before replacing the battery, turn the phone off. Never remove the
battery while the telephone features are active. To verify that the
phone is turned off, open and then close the flip. The words “Phone
is off” appear on the screen. Then the screen becomes blank.
❑Only remove the battery to replace it with another battery. Don’t
leave the battery out of the pdQ2. For example, if your battery
becomes drained while you are traveling and you don’t have a
second battery or a cradle to recharge it, it is better to leave the
drained battery in the pdQ2 than to remove it.
❑If the battery drains completely, the pdQ2 no longer operates.
However, the built-in backup battery stores your clock settings for
about two days and your data for about seven days. There is enough
residual energy in the battery to store the data, but not enough to
turn on the pdQ2.
❑If you leave a drained battery in the pdQ2 for an extended period of
time (more than seven days), you can lose all of the stored data. If this
happens, replace the battery and reset the pdQ2. Then perform a
HotSync operation to restore data from your computer.

❑Never dispose of any battery in or near a fire. It could explode.
❑When you remove the battery and reinsert it, the pdQ2 does a soft
reset. No information is deleted in a soft reset; all records and entries
are retained. For details, see “Resetting the pdQ2” on page 292 of the
pdQ2 Reference Guide.
❑After you have replaced the battery, always check the clock settings.

Phone safety
Radio frequency (RF) energy
Your pdQ2 is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives
and also sends out RF energy. Your service provider’s phone network
controls the power level of the RF signal. This power level can range from
0.006 watts to 0.6 watts.
There are situations in which wireless phones must be turned off for
reasons of safety. You can quickly turn off the pdQ2 simply by holding
down the End/Power key on the keypad for a few seconds.
Exposure to RF energy
In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless
phones. These guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies in the
following reports:
■ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards Institute, 1992)
■NCRP Report 86 (National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements, 1986)
■ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection, 1996)

DRAFT
Medical devices
Pacemakers—If your portable wireless phone is too close to a pacemaker,
the phone’s RF energy may interfere with the pacemaker’s operation. The
Health Industry Manufacturers Association and the wireless technology
research community recommend that you follow these guidelines to
minimize the potential for interference.
■Always keep the phone at least six inches (15 centimeters) away from
your pacemaker when the phone is turned on.
■Do not carry your phone near your heart.
■Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
■If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones may interfere with hearing
aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
service provider or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other medical devices—If you use any other personal medical device,
consult the manufacturer of the device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to help
you obtain this information.
In health care facilities—Turn your phone off in health care facilities
when instructed. Hospitals and health care facilities may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Avoiding potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility when posted
notices require you to do so.
Aircraft—FCC regulations prohibit using your phone on a plane that is in
the air. Turn your phone off before boarding aircraft.
Vehicles—RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should
also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to
your vehicle.
Blasting areas—To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone off when you are in a blasting area or in areas posted “Turn off
two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres—Turn your phone off when you are
in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include
■Fueling areas such as gas stations
■Below deck on boats
■Transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
■Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or butane

■Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust, or metal powders
■Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine
Driving safely
Before you use your pdQ2 while driving, check the local laws and
regulations on the use of portable wireless phones in vehicles. Always
obey them, and exercise caution while driving.
The following guidelines are based on recommendations of the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA).
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial
and redial.
2. Use a hands-free device such as the Hands-free Headset. For ordering
information, see “Accessories” on page 50.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. If you get a call at an
inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Let the person with whom you are speaking know you are driving.
5. Do not use any of the Palm applications while driving.
6. Dial sensibly. If possible, place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations.
pdq2_QuickStart.book Page 55 Friday, July 28, 2000 6:37 PM
56 pdQ2 User’s Guide
DRAFT
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Remember, 9-1-1 is a free call
(U.S.A. only) on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Call roadside
assistance or other non-emergency wireless assistance numbers when
necessary.
For more information, call (888) 901-SAFE (in the U.S.A.) or visit CTIA’s
Web site at www.wow-com.com.
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to serious personal injury and
possible property damage.
Air bags
If you have an air bag, DO NOT place installed or portable phone
equipment or other objects over the air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force. If equipment is not properly
installed, you and your passengers risk serious injury.
