Product Regulatory Information
FCC Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The use of shielded I/O cables is required when connecting this equipment to any and all optional peripheral
or host devices. Failure to do so may violate FCC rules.
Changes or modifications not covered in this manual must be approved in writing by the
manufacturer’s Regulatory Engineering Department. Changes or modifications made without written
approval may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
In August 1996, the FCC of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S.
and international standards bodies. The design of this product complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.

Exposure to radio frequency energy (SAR)
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure safety guidelines, this device and its antenna must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The user of this device should
ensure that the operation of this device is in compliance with these provisions.
FCC RF Safety Statement
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure safety guidelines, if the device is to be worn on the body, users
MUST use a "body-worn" accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc) and provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm
of separation between the users body and the unit.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact with the body (i.e. on the lap or in a breast
pocket). Such use will likely exceed FCC RF safety exposure limits. See www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/ for more
information on RF exposure safety.
FCC ID: O8FAOKI
Antenna Care/Unauthorized Modifications
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Unauthorized antenna modifications or attachments could damage
the unit and may violate FCC regulations. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Palm® Handheld
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the device, so you
should take steps to avoid such an occurrence.
Description of ESD
Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material.
To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over
a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock—the discharge
event—when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.
ESD-susceptible equipment
Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to
help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm® handheld, from ESD harm. While Palm has built
Palm® T|X Handheld 677
protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to
levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for
plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry
with you, such as your handheld, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have
built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another
device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.
Precautions against ESD
Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before
touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from Palm is that
you take this precaution before connecting your handheld to your computer, placing the handheld in a cradle,
or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:
• Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that
is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard three-
prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body.
• Increase the relative humidity of your environment.
• Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.
Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences
Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:
• Low relative humidity.
• Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static
buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)
• The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices.
While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an
environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic
equipment against ESD.
