You can turn the handheld and the radio on and off independently of each other. When you turn on the handheld, you can use the various applications while the radio is off. However, to make or receive a call, you need to turn on the radio.Turning the handheld on and offDo any of the following:■Open the lid to turn it on, or close the lid to turn it off.■Press and release the power button.Turning the radio on and off■Hold down the power button until you hear the confirmation tones to turn the radio (and other wireless features) on and off. The ascending tone indicates the radio is on and the descending tone indicates the radio is off.

Charging the Battery 5Charging the BatteryYour handheld battery provides approximately 2 hours of talk time or 72 hours of standby time. If the battery drains to the reserve level, you can still use your handheld applications for about 1 day, but there is not enough power to use the phone and other wireless features. It takes approximately 1 hour to charge a fully drained battery. To charge the battery do one of the following:■When you’re near your computer, connect your handheld to the HotSync® cable with the AC adapter connected to a wall outlet as shown on page 27.■When travelling, connect the AC adapter cable directly to your handheld as shown here.Tip: The LED is solid red while your handheld charges.

Synchronizing Data with Your Computer 25Synchronizing Data with Your ComputerYou can use the Palm Desktop software and your HotSync cable to exchange data between your handheld and your computer. This process is called a HotSync operation. Each time you perform a HotSync operation, any information you entered or changed on your handheld is copied to your computer and vice versa. This backs up your data and is strongly advised.Before you perform a HotSync operation, you need to install the Palm Desktop software from the Handspring CD and connect the HotSync cable to your computer. You can connect the USB cable that comes with your handheld, or you can purchase a serial cable at www.handspring.com. See “Computer system requirements” below.Computer system requirementsUSB cable■Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, or Mac OS 8.5 or later■Available USB portSerial cable■Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT 4.0/XP, or Mac OS 7.5.3 or later■Available serial port
