Welcome
Your Palm® Pixi™ Phone
Your Palm® Pixi™ phone puts Palm’s multitasking,
gesture-based operating system, the Palm® webOS™
platform, inside a small, beautiful device. Here are a few
highlights of your new phone.
Gestures: On your Pixi phone, you make calls, move
around, and manage your applications and info by
making simple gestures either on the touchscreen or in
the gesture area directly beneath the screen. For more
information, see “Use Gestures: Tap, Swipe, Drag, Flick,
Pinch” on page 35, and go to palm.com/support to see
animations that demonstrate these gestures. The
introductory piece in your Pixi phone’s box has a
detachable gesture guide to put in a pocket and
consult when you need to—you won’t need it very long.
Multitasking: You can have many applications open at
once and easily move among them. Go to the
Launcher to open apps. See the lineup of your open
apps in Card view. Tap an app to bring it into the
foreground and work with it. For more information, see
“Open Applications” on page 46.
The Palm® Synergy™ feature: The Palm® Synergy™
feature on your Pixi phone displays information from
several sources in a single view, so you can access
your info quickly, without having to remember where
you stored it.
For example, suppose you have a Google account for
personal email, contacts, and calendar events, and an
Exchange account for your corporate email, contacts,
and events. The Email, Contacts, and Calendar
applications on your Pixi phone all provide a kind of
view in which you can see information from both of
those accounts in one place—but even though the
information is brought into one view, the sources of that
information are kept separate. For more information,
read about linked contacts, layered calendars, and the
single inbox for your email in “Contacts” on page 121,
“Calendar” on page 135, and “Email” on page 186.
Note: See “Online Accounts Available for webOS Phones” on
page 294 for the current list of online accounts that you
can set up on your phone and for information about
the behavior of these accounts.
Regulatory Submission (10.26.09). Palm, Inc. Confidential. Top Secret.

Thanks also to the Synergy feature, in the Messaging
application, all your conversations with the same
person are grouped together in one chat-style view. If
you start an IM chat with Ed, for example, you can
continue the same conversation when Ed signs out of
IM by sending him a text message—and you can see it
all in the same view. For more information, see
“Messaging” on page 202.
Universal search: Need to call Ed? Just type ed on the
keyboard. If he’s listed in your Contacts, you can get his
numbers from the search results. Tap a number and
you’ve made the call. Search works just as fast when
you need to search the web. For more information, see
“Search to Find Info and Make Calls” on page 61.
Sync: Your Pixi phone gives you synchronization
without a cable. You can sync with online services that
Palm has partnered with so that you can store and
sync your info in online accounts. You can access your
data even when you are not able to make a connection
to the Web because a copy of your data is stored on
the device.
Your Palm profile: When you set up your phone, you
create a Palm profile. Your profile gives you access to
services like automatic updates and automatic,
frequent backups of any of your info that is stored only
on your phone and isn’t synchronized with an online
account.

ⅷVerify your Palm profile.
ⅷSelect a security question and answer.
ⅷFollow a link to learn about getting data like contacts

What Is a Palm Profile?
Your Palm profile gives you the following benefits:
ⅷAutomatic system and software updates are sent to
your phone.
ⅷA Palm profile account is automatically created for
you on your phone. In this account you can store
Contacts and Calendar info that you don’t store in
online accounts like Google or Exchange.
ⅷInfo stored in your Palm profile account, as well as in
other sources of info on your phone (like Memos and
Tasks), is automatically backed up to servers
administered by Palm.
ⅷShould your phone be lost or stolen, you can do a
remote erase of the info on the phone.
Tip: If you don’t see the confirmation email in your Inbox,
check your spam mail folder in your desktop email
program.
Note: You cannot access Palm profile data on the profile
website—you can access the data on your phone only.
Note: If you want to erase data on your phone while you are
still in possession of the phone—for example, before
you give it to someone else—don’t do a remote erase.
Instead, do a partial or full erase from the phone itself
(see “Erase Data and Reset Your Phone” on page 171).

Turn the Phone On/Off
Your Pixi phone’s screen can be turned on and off
separately from its wireless services (which are the
Phone app and Bluetooth app). This means
you can wake up the screen to use just the organizer
features of your device (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks,
Memos, and so on) without turning on the phone and
other wireless features. Also, when the screen is turned
off, the phone can be on and ready for you to receive
phone calls or messages.
Turn the Screen On/Off
Turn the screen on and leave the wireless services
turned off when you want to use only the organizer
features, for example, when you’re on a plane and you
must turn off all wireless services, but you want to look
at your calendar.
To turn the screen on, press power . Drag up to

WARNING: Use only batteries and chargers that are
approved by Sprint and Palm with your phone.
Failure to use a battery or charger approved by
Sprint and Palm may increase the risk that your
phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode,
resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage. Use of unapproved third-party

Maximizing Battery Life
Battery life depends on how you use your phone. You
can maximize the life of your battery by following a few
easy guidelines:
ⅷCharge your phone whenever you can. Charge it
overnight. The battery has a much longer useful life
when it is topped off frequently than when it is
charged after it is fully drained.
ⅷSet your screen to turn off automatically after a
shorter period of inactivity (see “Set the Interval for
Turning the Screen Off Automatically” on page 175).
ⅷKeep your battery away from direct sunlight and
other sources of heat. Temperatures over 45 degrees
Celsius can permanently reduce the capacity and life
span of any lithium-ion battery.
Tip: You can also charge your phone battery by connecting
your phone to your computer using the USB cable.
Charging this way takes much longer than using the AC
charger. Do not, however, connect the Palm®
TouchstoneTM charging dock (sold separately) to your
computer.
Regulatory Submission (10.26.09). Palm, Inc. Confidential. Top Secret.
34 2A. Basics
ⅷAs with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with
no wireless coverage, your phone continues to
search for a signal, which consumes power. Turn off
your phone if you are outside a coverage area (see
“Turn Wireless Services Off (Airplane Mode)” on
page 19).
ⅷTurn off the Bluetooth (see “Bluetooth® Wireless
Technology” on page 226) and GPS (see “Location
Services” on page 214) features when you are not
using them.
ⅷIf you set up an email account in the Email
application, set the interval to automatically
download email to every two hours or less frequently
(see “Enter Advanced Account Settings” on
page 191).
ⅷLower the screen brightness (see “Change Screen
Brightness” on page 175).
ⅷKeep in mind that frequent use of instant messaging
(IM) can reduce battery life.
ⅷTurn the phone completely off if you won’t be using it
for an extended period of time (see “Turn Everything
(the Screen and Wireless Services) On/Off” on
page 21).
ⅷYou can buy an extra battery as a spare for long
plane trips or periods of heavy use. To purchase
batteries that are compatible with your phone, go to
palm.com/store.

Gestures are an important, basic part of your phone.
They’re easy to learn, and they make working with the
phone fast. You make most gestures with one finger.
For a few, you need two. Make gestures with the tip of
your finger. Do not use your fingernail. Don’t bear
down.
To see short animations illustrating how to do gestures,
go to palm.com/support or tap Clips in Help on your
phone (see “Open Applications” on page 46 for
information on how to open Help).
You make gestures in two areas on your phone: the
touchscreen and the gesture area. The gesture area is
the black area extending along the bottom of the
screen.

Tap the center of the gesture area to minimize the app
and display Card view (see “Display All Open
Applications (Card View)” on page 49). When you’re
working in an application, the gesture area displays a
lighted bar in the center. The lighted bar also appears
when you tap the center of the gesture area to
maximize a card in Card view.
Basic Gestures
Tap: Tap with the tip of the finger—not the fingernail. Tap
fast and firmly, and then immediately lift your fingertip
off the screen. Don’t bear down on what you’re tapping.
Don’t wait for a response; the response comes after
you lift your finger. Don’t linger on the gesture; a tap
takes a split second to do.
Tap the center of the gesture area to do the following:
ⅷWhen you’re working in an application, tap the
center of the gesture area to see Card view. Card view
shows you all the applications that are currently
open, displayed as a series of cards (small active
windows).
ⅷWhen you’re in Card view, tap the center of the
gesture area to maximize the app in the center of the

2B Move Around on Your Phone 37
Move Around
Swipe: A swipe is most often a horizontal gesture, from
right to left or left to right. Do it fast, do it lightly. In a
swipe, your fingertip just skims the surface of the
touchscreen or gesture area.
One kind of swipe you’ll use a lot: Back. Make the back
gesture from right to left anywhere in the gesture area.
Back takes you up one level from a detailed view to a
more general view of the application you’re working in.
For example, when you finish reading an email
message, make the back gesture to close the message
and return to your list of messages. Or when you finish
writing a memo, make the back gesture to close and
save the memo and return to the display of all your
memos. When you make the back gesture in an
application and that’s the only screen of that app that’s
open, you minimize the app and go back to Card view.
In Web, the back gesture performs the same function
as the back button on the browser, allowing you to
move back through previously viewed pages.
Regulatory Submission (10.26.09). Palm, Inc. Confidential. Top Secret.
38 2B Move Around on Your Phone
The forward gesture, which is a swipe from left to right
anywhere in the gesture area, allows you to move
forward through previously viewed Web pages.
Forward is available in Web only.
Drag: Drag is the gesture you make for a slow scroll up
and down a list. Slide your fingertip slowly along the
surface—no need to bear down.
One kind of drag that you’ll use a lot brings up Quick
Launch when you’re in an application. This drag
gesture begins in the gesture area and ends on the
touchscreen. As your fingertip slowly crosses the
border between the gesture area and the touchscreen,
it seems to drag Quick Launch into view. To open one
of the apps in Quick Launch, move your finger to its
icon. When you see the app name appear, lift your
finger. The application opens.
You also make the drag gesture as part of a drag and
drop.
Flick: As its name tells you, this is a quick gesture, great
for scrolling long lists. Do it fast, do it lightly; as with a
swipe, your fingertip just skims the surface. The faster
you flick, the faster and farther you scroll up or down a
list.

To close an application in Card view, flick the card up
toward the top of the touchscreen. This is called

Copy Files Between Your Phone
and Your Computer
Copy iTunes Media Files From Your
Computer to Your Phone
Use media sync to easily transfer pictures, videos,
podcasts, and DRM-free music files from iTunes on
your computer to your phone.

Key Term: DRM-free: Describes a file that is not protected by
Digital Rights Management. DRM-free music files
can be copied as many times as you like and can
be played on your Pixi phone. To learn more about
DRM-free music, go to apple com and search on
iTunes Plus.
Did You Know? You can copy music files using USB Drive
mode as well (see “Copy Other Types of Files

Data Transfer Overview
While you have many options for transferring data,
Palm recommends that you take advantage of the
Palm® Synergy™ feature by putting your data in an
online account—for example, if you don’t have a Google
account, we recommend that you create one and store
your data there (see “How Do I Add Names and Other
Info Into Contacts?” on page 121, “How Do I Get Events
Into Calendar?” on page 135, and “How Do I Send and
Receive Email on My Phone?” on page 186). If you
don’t want to do this, there are other ways to get data
on your phone.
Consider carefully whether you’ll want to be able to
access and change your data somewhere besides
your phone. If you do, do you prefer the other means of
access to be a website (for example, Google), or to be
software that is installed on your computer? In either
case, you can set things up so that you can
synchronize new or changed data between your phone
and the other data location.
You could also decide not to have a sync setup for
your data, in which case you can use your Palm profile
to back up your data (see “Backup” on page 164). You
can’t access this data anywhere but on your phone.
However, your data is backed up, and in an emergency
(such as a lost or stolen device), you can remove the
data on your lost or stolen phone and restore it to a
new Pixi phone.

How Do I Get Data From My Old
Phone?
Do you want to sync your personal information
between your Pixi phone and Google or Exchange, but
first need to get your data out of an old phone that you
want to stop using? You can do a one-time, one-way
transfer of data to your Pixi phone, and then sync the
data to Google or Exchange.
1. On your computer, set up an account on the
Google website (go to gmail.com) or with Microsoft
Exchange (speak to an IT person at your
company).
2. Open Contacts on your Pixi phone.
3. Enter your username and password for the Google
or Exchange account.
4. Go to a Sprint store and ask a support agent for
help in transferring data from your old phone.
(When you're ready to transfer data from your old
phone, be sure to tell the agent which account to
transfer the data to.)

Do you want to sync your personal information
between your Pixi phone and Google or Exchange, but
first need to get the data out of a desktop app that you
want to stop using? You can do a one-time, one-way
transfer of data to your phone, and then if you choose
to, sync the data to Google or Exchange.
1. On your computer, set up an account on the
Google website (go to gmail.com) or with Microsoft
Exchange (speak to an IT person at your
company).
2. Open Contacts on your Pixi phone.
3. Enter your username and password for the Google
or Exchange account.
4. To transfer data from a desktop app that you want
to stop using, go to palm.com/migrate-pixi for more
information about the Data Transfer Assistant
(DTA)—it’s a free download from Palm.
About the Data Transfer Assistant
The DTA enables you to do a one-time, one-way export
of data from selected desktop apps to your Pixi phone
through the USB cable included with your phone. After
the data is on your phone, you can select the account
you want to import the data to.
Note: You don’t have to go to Calendar to set up your
account there—that’s done automatically using the
username and password you enter in Contacts.
Important: The DTA is not synchronization software. It is meant
to be used once per desktop app, to export your
info from the desktop app to an account on your
phone.

Contacts
How Do I Add Names and Other Info Into
Contacts?
You have a few options for getting info into your
Contacts.
Connect to an online address book. If you have an
address book in an online account that works with the
Palm® Synergy™ feature (for example, Google or
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync), you can set up
Contacts on your phone to synchronize and display
contacts that you store in the online address book. Set
up synchronization the first time you open Contacts
(see “Use Contacts for the First Time” on page 123), or
anytime after that (see “Customize Contacts” on
page 133). After you set up the connection to the
online address book, contacts you enter online show
up automatically in Contacts, and contacts you enter
on your phone sync to the online account.
The Synergy feature makes it easy to synchronize other
data from an online account. By setting up
synchronization in one app, synchronization of the
other apps is automatically set up for you. For example,
if you set up your Gmail account in Email before you
set up Contacts, when you first open Contacts, you find
that your Google contacts are already downloaded.
And when you first open Calendar, you find that your
Google calendar events are already in your phone’s
Calendar.
See “Online Accounts Available for webOS Phones” on
page 294 for the current list of online accounts that you can set up
on your phone, from which you can access contacts.

Transfer contacts using the Data Transfer Assistant:
When you transfer contacts from desktop software, you
select which account to assign those contacts to. Look
for those contacts in the account you select (see “How
Do I Get Data Off My Computer?” on page 77).
Enter a contact directly in Contacts: See “Create a
Contact” on page 124 for instructions. You can assign
the contact to one of your online address books—if you
do, it synchronizes with the online address book. Or
you can create the contact in your Palm profile
account, which means it shows up on your phone only.
Palm profile contacts are included in the daily backup
of your Palm profile information, so you can restore
them if they are accidentally erased.
Download vCard info to Contacts: A vCard is an
electronic business card attached to an email or an
MMS. If you receive an email or an MMS with a vCard
attachment, download the attachment to Contacts.
vCards are in VCF format. See “Receiving vCards” on
page 135.
Linked Contacts
The Synergy feature automatically links contacts from
different accounts if it finds data in common between
them. For example, if you have a contact in Exchange
and in Google for Thomas Flagg, your phone links the
contacts so that all of Thomas’s info shows up on a
single contact screen. You need to open just one view
to see all of Thomas’s info. The actual data remains
stored separately with your different providers; it's just
assembled in one view on your phone for your
convenience.
How can you tell if a contact is linked? Look in the
upper-right corner of the contact screen. If you see a
stack of photos and a number, that means that you're
looking at a linked contact, with combined info from
contacts you're storing with separate providers.
