Which email
application should I
use?
Your Treo 680 includes three email
applications: the VersaMail® application
(called Email in Applications View), the
Xpress Mail application, and the
GoodLink™ application (GetGood). You can
also access web-based email, like Yahoo!
Mail or Hotmail, from the web browser on
your Treo.
An email application is not an email
provider. An email application just transfers
messages from an account that you have
already set up with a provider.

application for secure, real-time access to
your Microsoft Outlook email, calendar,
contacts, tasks, and notes. GoodLink offers
real-time push synchronization of email and
personal info; as messages are received on
the server, they are automatically
downloaded to your Treo 680. GoodLink
also offers attachment viewing through the
Documents application on your Treo 680
and integration with your corporate Global
Address List (GAL).
You can use the Messaging application to
exchange brief text messages (SMS) and
multimedia messages (MMS) with other
devices and email addresses that support
these forms of messaging. Before you use
your Treo to send or receive messages,
refer to your service plan for pricing and
availability of messaging services.
Your corporate email system must use
GoodLink with your Microsoft Exchange
Server in order for you to use GoodLink on
your Treo. Contact your system
administrator for information about setting
up GoodLink and using it. For more
information, visit www.good.com.

purchase a wireless Bluetooth adapter
accessory for your computer to use this
feature.
TIP
Creating a partnership between your Treo
and your computer
1 Make sure that your computer’s
Bluetooth setting is on and that your
computer is ready to create a Bluetooth
partnership. Check the documentation
that came with your computer to find
and change these settings.
2 On your Treo 680, press Applications
and select Bluetooth
3 Select Bluetooth On if it is not already
selected, and then select Setup
Devices.
120
5 Select Add Device. The discovery icon
appears, indicating that the discovery
process is active.
6 Select your computer from the Trusted
Devices list, and then select OK.
7 Make up a passkey, enter it on the
Bluetooth Security screen, and then
select OK. The passkey can be up to 16
numbers.
NOTE You need this passkey in the next
step, so be sure to write it down exactly.
We recommend that you use a passkey of
16 numbers, where possible, to improve
the security of your Treo. The longer the
passkey, the more difficult it is for the
passkey to be deciphered.
8 Enter the same passkey on your
computer when prompted.
9 Select Done, and then select Done
again to return to the Bluetooth screen.
Setting up your computer for a Bluetooth
DUN connection
Follow the instructions from the
manufacturer of your Bluetooth adapter to
enable DUN.
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.

YOUR CONNECTIONS TO THE WEB AND WIRELESS DEVICES
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 680. Your
computer connects to your Treo 680
and shows that DUN services are
available.
3 Double-click the DUN icon.
4 Enter the following settings:
•
Dial: *99***1#
•
User Name:
WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
•
Password: CINGULAR1
5 Click Dial. Once the connection is
successfully established, you can
browse the Internet on your computer
or download your email.
You may need to use a virtual private
network (VPN) to access corporate email.
Check with your system administrator for
more information.
TIP

CHAPTER
YOUR CONNECTIONS TO THE WEB AND WIRELESS DEVICES
If you get a message asking whether you
want your computer to remember the dial text
for this connection, we recommend that you
say 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
computer screen to verify that you are
connected.
DID YOU KNOW? You can check the status of the
connection by right-clicking the Bluetooth
network icon in the taskbar.
NOTE When a DUN connection is active,
you cannot use data services on your Treo
680. For example, you cannot browse the
Web, or send or receive email messages.
Also, any scheduled automatic email
retrievals do not take place. You can,
however, use other wireless features of
your Treo 680, such as making and
receiving phone calls or sending and
receiving text messages.
122
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 680 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.
1 On your computer, right-click the icon or
option representing your Treo 680.
2 Click Disconnect.
Connections 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 680s 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.
Requesting a connection with another
Bluetooth device
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
environmental conditions, including
obstacles, radio interference from nearby
electronic equipment, and other factors.
2 Select Bluetooth On.
When you configure a hands-free device,
as described previously in Connecting to a
Bluetooth hands-free device, the
hands-free device automatically appears in
your Trusted Devices list. Follow the steps
in this section to add other devices to your
Trusted Devices list, such as a friend’s
handheld.
3 (Optional) Enter a device name that
identifies your Treo 680 when it is
discovered by other Bluetooth devices.
Your Treo does not support

Camera
Your Treo 680 comes with an easy-to-use,
built-in, VGA camera with 2x digital zoom
(camera version only). You can use the
camera to take and view pictures and
videos and send them to your friends and
family. To add a personal touch to your
Treo, use your pictures as your wallpaper
for the Main tab in the Phone application
and as caller ID images.
If your Treo 680 doesn’t have a built-in
camera, the sections in this chapter about
taking pictures and videos don’t apply to
you. But you can still receive and view
pictures and videos, send pictures and
videos to other people as email
attachments or multimedia messages
(MMS), and use pictures to personalize
your Treo 680 (such as wallpaper or picture
caller ID; see Assigning a caller ID photo
for details). You can also move pictures and
videos to a computer by synchronizing your
Treo 680 with your computer.

Calendar is a powerful organizer application
that helps you manage your schedule. You
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
meetings or a block of vacation time by
creating an event that repeats at an interval
you specify. Color-code your appointments
by category and add notes with helpful
information.
DID YOU KNOW? If your company uses
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, you may be
able to wirelessly synchronize Calendar
events directly with the server. See Working
with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync for
information.
