Charging the battery
The battery comes with a sufficient charge
to complete the setup process and activate
your phone. After activation, we
recommend charging your Treo 680 for
three hours (or until the indicator light is
solid green) to give it a full charge. See
Maximizing battery life for tips on
maximizing the life of your Treo battery.
IMPORTANT Always use the same
language for your Treo, your computer
operating system, and your desktop
software. Otherwise, you may lose
information or have difficulty with
synchronization. Support is not provided for
mismatched language setups.
To avoid draining the battery, charge your
Treo 680 every day, especially if you use your
phone often.
TIP
If your battery ever becomes
fully drained, your info is still stored safely on
your Treo 680 until you recharge the battery or
connect your Treo 680 to a power source.

CHAPTER
SETTING UP
1 Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.
2 Connect the charger cable to the
bottom of your Treo 680. Make sure the
arrow on the connector is facing up,
toward the screen.
You can also trickle charge your
Treo 680 without the AC charger by
connecting it to your computer with the sync
cable. However, it takes longer to charge the
battery without the AC charger, and if your
laptop isn’t plugged into a power source, it can
drain the laptop’s battery. For the quickest
charge time, use the AC charger.
DID YOU KNOW?
When trickle charging your Treo 680 with
the sync cable, the indicator light may not turn
on. To make sure the battery is charging,
check the onscreen battery indicator.
TIP
3 To confirm that your Treo 680 is

has some power.
An almost empty battery that is red
at the bottom indicates that you
need to charge the battery
immediately.
Maximizing battery
life
Battery life depends on how you use your
Treo 680. You can maximize the life of your
battery by following a few easy guidelines:
IMPORTANT Use the battery that came
with your Treo 680. Do not use a battery
from another Treo in your Treo 680.
Similarly, do not use the Treo 680 battery in
another Treo. Using a battery that is
designed for another Treo can damage your
13
CHAPTER
SETTING UP
Treo 680. For info on replacement
batteries, see Replacing the battery.
You can buy an extra battery as a spare for
long airplane trips or periods of heavy use. To
purchase batteries that are compatible with
your Treo 680, go to www.palm.com/
mytreo680cingular.
•
If you don’t plan to use the wireless
features on your Treo for a while, turn
off your phone (see Turning your phone
on and off) and let all calls be picked up
by voicemail.
•
As with any mobile phone, if you are in
an area with no wireless coverage, your
Treo searches for a signal, which
consumes power. If you cannot move to
an area of better coverage, temporarily
turn off your phone. While your phone is
off, you can continue to use the
nonwireless features of your Treo.
•
Turn down the screen brightness (see
Adjusting the brightness).
•
Decrease the settings in Power
Preferences and turn off Beam Receive
(see Optimizing power settings).
•
Turn off the Bluetooth® feature if you’re
not using it. See Connecting to a
Bluetooth hands-free device.
TIP
14
•
Charge your Treo 680 whenever you
can. Charge it overnight. The battery
has a much longer useful life when it is
topped off frequently, rather than
charging it after it is fully drained.
•
The wireless features (phone, email,
messaging, and web) and media
features (camera, media players,
eBooks, and games) of your Treo 680
consume more power than its organizer
features. Speakerphone usage also
consumes more power than using the
earpiece. If you use the wireless,
speakerphone, and media features
often, keep an eye on the battery icon
and charge when necessary.

Setting up your
computer for
synchronization
Why set up a connection between your
Treo 680 and your computer? So you can
synchronize. Why synchronize? Here are
two good reasons:
•
It’s easier to enter names, phone
numbers, and addresses using the big
keyboard on your computer than the
keyboard on your Treo 680. Whether
you enter or change information on your
computer (using Palm® Desktop
software or Microsoft Outlook for
Windows) or on your Treo 680, you
automatically update the info in both
places when you synchronize. So
there’s no need to enter the info twice.
•
You have a backup copy of all your info.
Should anything happen to your Treo
680, your info still exists on your
computer.
We strongly recommend that you
synchronize your Treo 680 with your
computer frequently to keep your
information up-to-date (and backed up) in
both locations.
Before you can synchronize, you need to
install the desktop synchronization
software and connect the sync cable to
your computer.
System requirements
Your computer should meet the following
minimum system profiles for Windows or
Mac computers:
•
Windows 2000 or XP (or later)
•
32MB of available memory (RAM)
•
170MB of free hard disk space
•

CHAPTER
SETTING UP
Upgrading from another Palm OS® device
NOTE If you are setting up your first Palm
OS® device, skip ahead to Installing the
desktop synchronization software.
You can transfer all compatible applications
and information from your previous Palm
OS device—whether it’s a handheld or a
Treo— to your new Treo 680, so long as the
space taken up by all the info you want to
transfer is 64MB or less. This includes your
calendar events, contacts, memos, and
tasks, as well as your application settings
and any compatible third-party applications
and files.
When you install the desktop software
from the Palm Software Installation CD,
some third-party applications may be
quarantined because they are not
compatible with the Palm OS software
version 5.4.9 on your Treo 680.
17
CHAPTER
SETTING UP
Quarantined files are not installed on your
Treo 680, nor are they deleted; these files
are placed in a new folder on your
computer: C:\Program Files\Palm\\PalmOS5 Incompatible Apps.
(Can’t find a Palm folder in Program Files?
Then look for a folder labeled palmOne or
Handspring instead. For more info, see I
can’t find my user folder.)
IMPORTANT Do not synchronize your Treo
680 with any previous versions of
Palm Desktop software.
We do not recommend using third-party
utilities that back up your old device’s
information onto an expansion card and then
transfer the info to your Treo 680. Such
methods transfer all applications to your Treo
680, including ones that are not designed to
work with Palm OS version 5.4.9.
•
At the bottom of the screen, select
Size.
•
Look at the numbers on the Free
Space line and subtract the number
on the left from the number on the
right to calculate the space used. For
example, on the device shown here,
22.4 – 17.5 = 4.9. This means that
4.9MB of space is occupied on this
device.
TIP
1 Calculate how much space your apps
and info occupy on your previous Palm
OS device:
18
•
In Applications View, open the menus.
•
Select Info on the App menu.
2 If the space occupied on your previous
device is 64MB or less, then go to step
3. If the space occupied is greater than
64MB, then do any of the following to
reduce the storage space you’re using
before you go to the next step:
•
Delete any third-party applications
that you no longer use.
•
Move large files, such as eBooks and
images, to an expansion card.
•
Move third-party applications to an
expansion card.
•
Purge old info in applications such as
Calendar (Date Book), Tasks (To Do),
and email. Refer to the
documentation that came with your
previous device for instructions on
these items.
3 Synchronize your previous device with
your previous desktop software to back
up your information one last time.
4 Install the desktop synchronization
software from your new Palm Software
Installation CD (see Installing the
desktop synchronization software).
5 During the installation process, sync
your Treo 680 with your new desktop
software as instructed. When
prompted, do the following:
•
•
Connect your Treo 680 to your
computer (see Connecting your Treo
680 to your computer).
Indicate whether you want to sync
only the info in your PIM apps
(Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and
Tasks) or all info and apps (excluding
apps known to be incompatible).
•
CHAPTER
SETTING UP
Select a device name for your Treo
680; be sure to select the same name
that you used for your old device.
(This is the name that appears in the
User list in Palm Desktop software.)
6 MAC ONLY If you have pictures on
your previous device, copy them from
your previous device to an expansion
card or beam them to your Treo 680.
7 If you plan to continue using your
previous device, perform a hard reset
on your previous device to remove its
associated device name. (See the
documentation that came with your
previous device for instructions on
performing a hard reset.) Each device
you synchronize with your computer
must have a unique name. The next
time you synchronize your previous
device with your computer, be sure to
assign it a new name.

Highlighting and selecting items
On most screens, one item—a button, a
list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by
default. The highlight identifies which item
is affected by your next action. Use Left ,
Right , Up , and Down on the
5-way to move the highlight from one item
to another.
If the item you want doesn’t appear on the
screen, try tapping the onscreen scroll arrows

TIP
Learn to recognize the highlight. It can take
two forms:
Border glow: When an entire screen, an
onscreen button (such as Done, New, or
OK), or a pick list is highlighted, a glow
appears around its border. If an entire
screen is highlighted, the glow appears at
the top and bottom of the screen only.
When a border appears at the top and
bottom of a list screen, press Center on the
5-way to highlight the first item in the list.
TIP
28
Colored background: When a phone
number, text, an email address, a web link,
or an item in a list is highlighted, the item is
displayed as white text against a colored
background. Examples of lists include the
Contacts list, the Messaging Inbox, and the
Tasks list.
After highlighting an item, you can select or
activate it by pressing Center
, or by
tapping the item with the stylus.
After you open an application (see
Opening applications), experiment with using
the 5-way to highlight various screen
elements.

the most out of your Treo 680, it’s a good
idea to familiarize yourself with the
additional features available through the
various application menus.
•
Tap and drag the stylus across the text
you want to highlight.
•
To highlight a word, double-tap it.
•
To highlight a paragraph, triple-tap it.

Your phone
The Phone application is your home base for making and receiving calls
and for storing info about the people you need to stay in touch with.
You can creatively manage multiple calls, such as swapping between
calls, sending text messages to ignored calls, and creating conference
calls with up to five callers. Your Palm® Treo™ 680 smart device helps
you perform all these tasks with ease.
And you can do more than manage your phone calls, too. You can send
text messages, open applications, go to your favorite web pages, see
your upcoming appointments, and even find out how many unread
email messages you have.
