Working with Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync®
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync® works
with the VersaMail, Calendar, and Contacts
apps on your Treo XXX to directly access
corporate groupware information on a
Microsoft Exchange 2003 server. You can
synchronize business email, calendar, and
contact info with the Exchange 2003
server from your Treo XXX without using a
desktop computer.
When you create a Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync account in the VersaMail
application, your email, calendar, and
contact info sync directly with the
Exchange server; information does not
sync with the desktop software application
on your computer, such as Microsoft
Outlook or Palm Desktop software. Other
information that is stored on your
computer, such as tasks and memos,
continues to synchronize with your desktop
software.
The Exchange server pushes email
messages, Calendar events, meeting
invitations, and updated contact
information it receives onto your Treo XXX.
Likewise, when you create an email
message or event or you update a contact
on your Treo, it can be pushed to the
server.
Pushing email, events, and contacts
The Exchange server pushes email
messages, Calendar events, meeting
invitations, and updated contact
information it receives onto your Treo XXX.
NOTE Find out from your system
administrator if your Exchange server
supports push and has push turned on.

Your Treo XXX turns on and an
alert appears whenever you receive a new

Likewise, when you create an email
message or event or you update a contact
on your Treo, it can be pushed to the

Push from server to Treo happens
automatically as new or changed items
arrive on the server. When you create a
new message, appointment, or contact on
your Treo XXX, the new item is pushed
from your Treo to the server at the
following times:
•When a server-to-Treo push takes place
•When you select Sync in your Exchange
ActiveSync account to manually retrieve
information
•At a preset time interval, if neither of
the preceding two events takes place
during that interval—for example, if
neither a server push nor a manual sync
takes place for ten minutes

Your Push to Talk application
Push to Talk from AT&T is a convenient way to stay in touch
with friends, family, and colleagues. With this walkie-talkie type
of service, you can see who is available to talk and you can
instantly reach others without dialing phone numbers and
waiting for the phone to ring. Push to Talk calls can be made to
one person or to a group of people. Think of Push to Talk as
instant messaging that uses voice instead of text.
Benefits
•Organize your friends and
colleagues into groups
•Communicate with a large,
dispersed group of people by voice
or text message
•Select the PTT contacts who are
out with you on a Saturday night;

WHAT IS PUSH TO TALK? 123

CHAPTER
What is Push to Talk?
Have you ever had to use the phone to
coordinate actions of, or give information
to, a group of people? With Push to Talk
(PTT) you can instantly inform all of them
with a single call.
How PTT works
To make a PTT call, press the Side button
to go to Push to Talk. Select the people you
want to talk to (up to seven individuals at
one time or up to 29 in a group); an icon
next to each name tells you whether
they're available. Then press and hold the
Side button to make the call.
Since the speakerphone is automatically
on, hold your Treo XXX like a walkie-talkie,
a few inches away from your mouth, and
listen for the tone that signals that you can
start to speak.
Like a walkie-talkie, PTT allows only one
person to speak at a time. No one else can
speak until you give up control by releasing
the Side button. A tone signals that you
gave up control. Now somebody else on
the call can have a turn speaking.
What can I do with PTT?
Here are a couple of examples of what you
can do with PTT:
•Your work colleagues are scattered in
several buildings on campus and around
the country. You created a Project Team
DID

group in PTT. An important last-minute
change happens in the project; for
things to go smoothly, you need to
communicate the news right away.
Using Push to Talk, you can instantly
speak to the entire team; everyone
hears the same thing, and everyone
knows what everyone else needs to do.
•You’re on vacation with your family and
you create a Family Vacation group. You
each decide to head off in a separate
direction for the day. When you’re ready
to set a meeting place, you can call the
whole family at once. No more putting
one person on hold and switching lines
or calling people multiple times to
arrange the gathering.
Sign up for PTT service
To use PTT you must first subscribe to the
AT&T Push to Talk service and then set up
the Push to Talk application on your
Palm®Treo™ XXX smart device. Next,
create a PTT list by inviting people to be
your PTT contacts.
Your PTT contact list is separate from your
contact list in the Contacts application, and
the people you invite must also subscribe
to the AT&T Push to Talk service. So to get
the full benefit of Push to Talk, you may
want to encourage a bunch of your friends,
family members, or business colleagues to
also subscribe to the AT&T Push to Talk
service.
DID
YOU
KNOW
?
With a monthly service plan,
PTT may be more economical than sending
text messages to a group of people or making
conference calls.

Accessing the Internet using a Bluetooth
DUN connection
The steps for accessing the Internet on
your computer may vary depending on your
operating system and how Bluetooth
wireless technology is set up on your
computer—for example, if it is built-in
versus if you are using a Bluetooth adapter.
If you need additional info, check your
computer’s documentation for how to set
up Bluetooth technology to access the
Internet using a DUN connection.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Verify that DUN is
enabled on your computer. See the
documentation that came with your
computer for details.
1Open the Bluetooth application on your
computer and let it locate the Treo you
paired it with in the previous procedure.

Receiving or sending phone calls suspends
the DUN session. The session resumes
when the call is ended.
Terminating a Bluetooth DUN Internet
session
It is important to end a Bluetooth DUN
session after you finish using it. Ending the
DUN session lets you use the wireless
features of your Treo XXX that require a
data connection, it frees up the Bluetooth
feature so that you can connect to other
Bluetooth devices, and it optimizes battery
life, too.
1On your computer, right-click the icon or

wireless technology, you can also
synchronize wirelessly or use your phone
to connect your computer to the Internet.
You can create a list of Bluetooth devices

can view your calendar by day, week, or
month, or as an agenda list that combines
your Tasks list and email notifications with
your appointments. Schedule repeating

creating an event that repeats at an interval
you specify. Color-code your appointments
by category and add notes with helpful
information.
Displaying your calendar
Press Calendar repeatedly to cycle
through the various views:
Agenda View: Shows your daily schedule,
the number of unread email messages,
and any items on your Tasks list that are
overdue or due today. If there’s room,
Agenda View also lists events on future
dates.
Day View: Shows your daily schedule one
day at a time.
Week View: Shows your schedule for an
entire week. The time frames are based on
the Start Time and End Time settings in
Calendar Preferences.
Month View: Shows your schedule for a
whole month.
In most Calendar views, you can do the
following:
•Open the Options menu and select
