12 :: Charging the battery
Charging the battery
Before using your Treo 650 smartphone, you need to charge the battery. It may not
turn on at all when you first remove it from the box. We recommend four hours for a
full charge, or until the indicator light is solid green.
1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. If necessary, connect an adapter.
2. Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the Treo. Make sure the arrow on the
connector is facing up, toward your Treo screen.
3. To confirm your Treo is charging, check the indicator light.
When the indicator light is solid red, your Treo is charging.
When the indicator light turns solid green, your Treo is fully charged.
If the indicator light does not turn on when you connect your Treo to the AC
charger, double-check the cable connection and the electrical outlet to which
it is connected.
Battery consumption varies
based on personal usage.
Consumption factors
include signal strength,
speakerphone usage, and
whether calls are data or
voice calls.
When your Treo is
connected to a power
source, the indicator
light glows solid (versus
flashing), and the color
of the light indicates the
charging state.

14 :: Inserting the SIM card
Inserting the SIM card
Your subscriber identity module (SIM) card contains account information such as your
phone number and voicemail access number. To use the phone, email, or web features
of your Treo 650 smartphone, you need to insert the SIM card. If a SIM card did not
come with your Treo 650, your wireless service provider will give you one when you
subscribe. If you have an older, 5-volt SIM card, you should request a newer, 3-volt
SIM. This Treo is not compatible with older 5-volt SIM cards.
1. Slide the SIM tray out of the phone.
2. Insert the SIM card into the SIM tray by aligning the notches until you feel it lock
into place.
3. Slide the SIM tray back into the phone.
4. If your SIM card is not already activated, follow the activation steps provided by
your wireless service provider or contact your wireless service provider directly for
assistance. If you want to use email, web browsing, and multimedia messaging, be
sure to confirm that your SIM card is activated for data services.
Your wireless service
provider may already have
inserted the SIM card into
your Treo. In that case, skip
to “Turning Treo on and off”
on page 15.
To remove the SIM card,
pull the SIM tray out of the
slot and remove the card
from the tray.

Turning Treo on and off :: 15
Turning Treo on and off
You can use the Palm OS® features of your Treo 650 smartphone independently
of the wireless features and applications. In other words, the screen and phone are
designed to be turned off and on separately.
Turning your phone on and off
When you turn on your Treo, it connects to a mobile network so that you can make
and receive phone calls and use other wireless services.
1. Press and hold Power/End to turn on your phone. If Sound Mode is on you’ll
hear a series of ascending tones. (See “Setting the ringer switch” on page 144 for
more on Sound Mode.) After your phone locates a signal, you can use the phone
and Internet features (if supported by the local network).
2. Press and hold Power/End again to turn off your phone. If Sound Mode is on
you‘ll hear a series of descending tones. When your phone is off, your Treo is not
connected to any mobile network. You can still use the organizer and other Palm
OS features. This is ideal for airplane flights and for maximizing battery life.
Waking up the screen
To use the Palm OS features when your phone is off, you need to wake up the screen.
You can also turn off your phone’s screen without turning off your phone’s wireless
features.
1. Press Power/End to wake up the screen.
2. Briefly press Power/End to turn off the screen.
The indicator light flashes
green when your phone is
on and you’re inside a
coverage area. If you’re
outside a coverage area,
the indicator light flashes
amber.
Your Treo 650 includes a
keyboard backlight for low-
light conditions. The
keyboard backlight
activates automatically
when the screen turns on.
It turns off automatically
when the screen turns off
and when an active call
lasts longer than a minute.
You can also press any
application buttons on the
front of your phone to wake
up the screen and go
directly to the application
linked to that button.

16 :: Making your first call
Making your first call
We recommend that you charge your Treo 650 smartphone for a full four hours
(or until the indicator light is solid green) before using it for the first time.
1. Press and hold Power/End . You will hear a series of ascending tones.
2. Allow the Treo to complete a network search. The search may take several
seconds. When it is complete, the Network Status icon appears in the
upper-right.
3. If prompted for a PIN, enter it on the PIN screen. The default PIN is often 1234. If
the default PIN doesn’t work, check the documentation you received from your
wireless service provider or contact your wireless service provider for help.
4. Press Phone/Send .
5. Using the number pad on the Treo keyboard, enter the desired phone number.
6. Press Phone/Send to dial.
7. When your call is complete, press Power/End or use the 5-way navigator to
select Hang Up.
If No Service appears in
the upper left, you are out
of a wireless coverage area.
If you believe you are in a
wireless coverage area and
this problem persists,
contact your wireless
service provider for
assistance.
If you are inside a coverage
and cannot complete a call,
your SIM card may not be
activated. Please contact
your wireless service
provider for assistance.
To quickly redial your most
recent call, press and hold
the Phone/Send button to
display the redial list.

Moving around the Treo screen
To move around the Treo™ 650 smartphone screen, you can use the 5-way navigator
or you can tap items on the screen with the stylus. With use, you will find your own
favorite way to scroll, highlight, and select menu items.
The 5-way includes Right, Left, Up, Down, and Center buttons.
Scrolling through screens
As on a computer, you scroll on the Treo to move from field to field or page to page,
or in some cases to highlight an item or option in a list. There are several methods
of scrolling:
Press the 5-way on the front of the Treo. Press Right , Left , Up , and
Down to move to the next field, button, or action in that direction.
Press and hold Up to quickly scroll to the top of a list, or press and hold
Down to quickly scroll to the bottom of a list.
Some third-party
applications may not work
with the 5-way navigator,
and you must use the
stylus instead.
In this guide, we use arrow
icons to indicate directions
on the 5-way. These are
different from any onscreen
arrows that you tap with
your stylus or select with
the 5-way to display
pick lists.

When inside a text field, press Right and Left to scroll to the next character or
word, and press Up and Down to scroll between lines.
Drag the slider of an onscreen scroll bar.
Highlighting items
The 5-way lets you highlight items before opening or selecting them.
When an onscreen button (OK, Cancel, etc.) or pick list is
highlighted, the button acquires a glow around its border.
When a phone number, email address, or web
link is highlighted on a web page or in a
message, the text appears in reverse type (light
text on a dark background).
When an entire text entry field is highlighted, you can press Center to edit the text.
After you edit the text, press Center again to highlight the entire field.
Once you’ve opened an
application (see “Opening
applications” on page 28),
you can experiment with
using the 5-way to
highlight different screen
elements.

Double-tap a word to highlight it.
Triple-tap a line of text to highlight it.

From a list screen, such as the Contacts list or Memos list, press Right to jump
to the first button.
From a screen where you create or edit entries, such as Edit Contacts, press
Center to jump to the first button.
From a dialog box, such as Edit Categories, press Up and Down to scroll to

Selecting menu items
Many applications have menus to provide access to additional features. These menus
are usually hidden from view, but they appear when you press Menu . To get the

identified by a downward-pointing arrow. Pick lists are different from the application
menus described above.
Use the 5-way to highlight the pick list, and then press Center to display the items
in the list. Press Up and Down to highlight the item you want, and then press
Center to accept your selection.
To exit the pick list and cancel your selection, press Left or Right .
Use your stylus to tap the pick list, and then tap the item you want from the list.
Most menu items have
menu shortcuts listed in
the menu. To use a menu
shortcut, press Menu plus
the shortcut letter. You

Setting up your computer
Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm®Desktop
software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that info to
your Treo 650 smartphone. At the same time, changes you make on your Treo are
transferred to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your
contacts on your Treo, synchronization is a great way to back up your info.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the desktop synchronization software
on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered® device and have
installed a previous version, you must install the software that came with your Treo
on the Software Installation CD.
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
•CD drive
Available USB port
USB sync cable (included with your Treo 650)
Mac OS 10.2 or later
128MB of total memory (RAM)
190MB of free hard disk space
•CD drive
USB port
USB sync cable (included with your Treo 650)
IMPORTANT: If you’re
upgrading from another
Palm Powered device,
follow the steps in
“Upgrading from another
Palm Powered® device” on
page 160 before you set up
your computer for your new
Treo.
If you want to synchronize
with another desktop
software program, contact
the software developer to
obtain a conduit if one is
available.

Synchronizing contacts and other information :: 33
Synchronizing contacts and
other information
Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place
(your phone or your computer) is automatically updated in the other—no need to
enter information twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Treo and
your computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in
both locations.
Before you can synchronize your contacts and other personal information, you must
install the software from the CD that came with your Treo. See “Installing the desktop
synchronization software on your computer” on page 32 for instructions.
If you use the default settings, information from all the following applications is
transferred each time you synchronize your phone with your computer:
If you choose to synchronize with Outlook, information from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks,
and Memos is synchronized with Outlook. You can also set up the VersaMail
application to synchronize with Outlook. Other info, such as photos, is synchronized
with Palm Desktop software.
1. Connect your Treo 650 smartphone to your computer, as described in “Connecting
your Treo to your computer” on page 31.
2. Press the HotSync button on the sync cable.
We strongly recommend
that you install the
synchronization software
soon after you start using
your Treo, and that you
synchronize your Treo and
computer frequently to
keep your information
up-to-date (and backed up)
in both locations.
If you installed
Palm Desktop software,
the HotSync Manager icon
should appear in
the lower-right corner of

If nothing happens, make sure that you installed the desktop synchronization
software from the Software Installation CD that came with your Treo, and that
it is running on your computer.
If you want to synchronize information with applications other than
Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook, you need to purchase additional third-party
conduit software.
If you have any problems synchronizing, see “Synchronization (HotSync)” on
page 172 for troubleshooting suggestions.

Battery life :: 35
Battery life
Battery life depends on individual usage. When used as a phone, your Treo battery
provides up to 6 hours of talk time or up to 300 hours of standby time.
Maximizing battery life
You can increase the life of your Treo battery by following a few easy guidelines.
Remember that battery life depends on how you use your Treo.
Charge your Treo whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight each day.
The Li-Ion battery in your Treo has a much longer useful life when it is topped off
frequently, versus charging it after it is fully drained.
The wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and web) of your Treo generally
consume more power than its organizer features. However, if you spend a lot of
time using the camera (if included), games, media players, eBooks, or other Palm
OS applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.
If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your Treo for a while, you may want
to turn off your phone (see “Turning your phone on and off” on page 15). You can
forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see
“Forwarding calls under certain conditions” on page 51).
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.
Turn down the screen brightness (see “Adjusting the brightness” on page 145).
Decrease the Auto-off setting in Power Preferences (see “Power Preferences” on
page 151). This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of
inactivity.
IMPORTANT: You must
charge your Treo fully
before using it the first
time. Wait until the
indicator light turns solid
green, which may take
up to four hours.
If the battery drains to
the point where your Treo
doesn’t turn on, the Treo
stores your info safely until
you recharge the battery.
To avoid draining the
battery, we recommend
that you charge and
synchronize your Treo every
day, especially if you use
your phone often.
If the battery is fully
drained, it may take a few
moments for the indicator
light to turn on while
charging.

Headset specifications
Your Treo uses a 2.5mm, 3-pin headset connector. Your Treo works with headsets that
are designed for this type of connector. When in doubt, ask the third-party headset
manufacturer if the product is compatible with Treo smartphones. If you hear a
headset buzz or poor microphone performance, your headset may be incompatible
with Treo.
Your Treo 650 is also compatible with headsets enabled with Bluetooth 1.1
wireless technology. This includes most of the headsets with Bluetooth wireless
technology currently available, as many of these headsets support both Bluetooth 1.1
and 1.2 wireless technology. Check the specifications for your headset to confirm
compatibility. Please note, however, that you cannot use a headset with Bluetooth
wireless technology to listen to MP3 files.
In addition to the headset
that came with your Treo,
you can use other third-
party headsets.
To hear stereo through the
jack (such as music), you
should use a stereo
adapter or other accessory.
Visit www.palmOne.com/

audio accessories and for
the latest compatibility info.

Connecting to devices with
Bluetooth wireless technology
With your phone’s built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, you can connect to a
number of devices with Bluetooth wireless technology such as a headset, printer,
or GPS receiver, as well as to other phones and handhelds with Bluetooth wireless
technology. If your computer is enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can
synchronize wirelessly, and even use your phone as a wireless modem for your
computer.
Once you set up a connection with a device with Bluetooth wireless technology, you
can communicate with that device whenever it is within range (about 30 feet).
Connecting to a headset with Bluetooth wireless technology
1. Go to Applications and select Bluetooth .
2. Select On.
3. Enter a Device Name for your phone. This is the name other devices with
Bluetooth wireless technology see when they connect to your phone.
4. Select the Discoverable pick list and select one of the following:
Ye s: Automatically establishes connections with devices with which you’ve
created a trusted pair. New devices can request a connection that you can
accept or refuse.
No: Only devices with which you’ve already formed a trusted pair can find
your phone. New devices cannot request a connection.
If you’re using a hands-free
device with Bluetooth
wireless technology and it
is within range (30 feet),
Treo automatically routes
all calls to the hands-free
device instead of to the
handset. When a call
comes in, your Treo rings
and the headset beeps.
Even if you pick up the call
on your Treo, the call goes
to the headset.
Your phone must be on and
the Bluetooth setting must
be set to On for your phone
to be discoverable.
