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.
CHAPTER
YOUR EMAIL AND OTHER MESSAGES
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.
Your Treo XXX turns on and an
alert appears whenever you receive a new
message. To save battery life, you can turn
alerts off for your Exchange ActiveSync
account. Go to the account, press Menu,
select Options, and then select Preferences.
Select Alerts, and then uncheck the alert box.
DID YOU KNOW?
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.

CHAPTER
YOUR EMAIL AND OTHER MESSAGES
Likewise, when you create an email
message or event or you update a contact
on your Treo, it can be pushed to the
server.
Push Technology in which a server
automatically delivers new information (such
as new email messages) to a device. The user
does not need to do anything.
KEY TERM
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:
106
•
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
THE VERSAMAIL® APPLICATION
When push is enabled, certain
preferences change for your Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync account only. A new
Auto Sync preference is created, including
Auto Sync and Alerts options. The Advanced
preferences, including Connection and Server
options, are removed.
TIP
Turning off push
When push is enabled, you can turn it off—
for example, to save battery life.

Exchange ActiveSync account (this is
typically your corporate email account).
2 Press Menu
3 Select Options, and then select
Preferences.
4 Select Auto Sync, and then do one of
the following:
•
To switch from push to an Auto Sync
schedule for email, calendar, or
contacts, select the When pick list
and then select any schedule option
except As Items Arrive.
•
To turn off push and manually retrieve
information, uncheck the box next to
the type of information you want to
get manually (Mail, Calendar, or
Contacts).
Using Remote Address Lookup
Remote Address Lookup enables you to
retrieve email addresses on your corporate
Exchange server.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Be sure your phone
is on and you are within a coverage area.
1 Open VersaMail and go to your
Exchange ActiveSync account.
2 Select New.

Instant Messaging
(IM)
CHAPTER
YOUR EMAIL AND OTHER MESSAGES
Instant Messaging (IM) is a form of
real-time communication between two or
more people based on the exchange of
short, simple text messages via computer
or mobile device. You can see which of
your contacts are available to participate in
an IM conversation or chat. You initiate a
chat by selecting an available contact and
sending a message.
Instant messaging on your Treo is similar to
instant messaging on your computer.
Using the IM application, you can sign on
to up to three IM communities, send and
receive instant messages, and view
contact status information and manage
your presence. You can switch among IM
communities with a touch of the 5-way.
Messages are billed to the owner of the
Treo no matter which IM account you use.

If you are signing on to your existing IM
account on your Treo, sign on to the
community using your existing username
or email address, whichever your provider
requires, and password.
NOTE Some service providers allow you to

time; for example, both your Treo and your
computer. On other providers, signing on
to an existing IM account on your Treo may
automatically sign you out of another
currently running IM session.

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.

Side button to make the call.
CHAPTER
YOUR PUSH TO TALK APPLICATION
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.
The speakerphone is
automatically on when you are available,
unless your Ringer switch is set to Sound Off
DID YOU KNOW?
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:

DID YOU KNOW? With a monthly service plan,
PTT may be more economical than sending

WHAT IS PUSH TO TALK?
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.

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.
You may need to use a virtual private
network (VPN) to access corporate email.
Check with your system administrator for
more information.
TIP
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Verify that DUN is
enabled on your computer. See the
documentation that came with your
computer for details.
1 Open the Bluetooth application on your
computer and let it locate the Treo you
paired it with in the previous procedure.
2 Double-click the icon or option
representing your Treo XXX. Your
156
computer connects to your Treo XXX
and shows that DUN services are
available.
3 Double-click the DUN icon.
4 Enter the following settings:
•
Dial: *99***1#
•
User Name:
ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
•
Password: CINGULAR1
Enter your wireless service provider’s
settings. Contact your wireless service
provider if you don’t have these
settings.
5 Click Dial. Once the connection is
successfully established, you can
browse the Internet on your computer
or download your email.
If you get a message asking whether you
want your computer to remember the dial text
for this connection, we recommend that you
select Yes. This avoids errors and the
inconvenience of entering the dial text for
every session.
TIP
6 Look for a network connection icon in
the taskbar at the bottom of your
CONNECTING YOUR COMPUTER TO THE INTERNET THROUGH YOUR TREO™ XXX
computer screen to verify that you are
connected.
1 On your computer, right-click the icon or

CHAPTER
YOUR CONNECTIONS TO THE WEB AND WIRELESS DEVICES
2 Click Disconnect.
You can check the status of the
connection by right-clicking the Bluetooth
network icon in the taskbar.
DID YOU KNOW?
NOTE When a DUN connection is active,
you cannot use data services on your
Treo XXX. For example, you cannot browse
the Web, or send or receive email
messages. Also, any scheduled automatic
email retrievals do not take place.
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.
Connecting with
Bluetooth devices
With the built-in Bluetooth wireless
technology on your Treo, you can connect
to a number of Bluetooth devices,
including a hands-free device such as a
headset or car kit, a printer, or a GPS
receiver, as well as to other Treo XXX smart
devices and handhelds that are equipped
with Bluetooth wireless technology. If your
computer is enabled with Bluetooth
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
that you trust to communicate with your
Treo. When communicating with trusted
devices, your Treo skips the discovery
process and creates a secure link as long
as the device is within range. Bluetooth
range is up to 30 feet depending on
