• To turn on your device, slide the switch to the right and let it return to the center. To turn your device off, slide the switch to the right again.
• If your device is off, slide the switch to the left to lock your device. Your device does not respond to button presses, taps, or 5-way presses and cannot turn on until you slide the switch to the center position. Locking your device when it is off is useful if you carry your device in a bag and want to prevent its turning it on accidentally when something presses against it.
• If your device is on, slide the switch to the left to lock your device at the current screen. Your device does not respond to button presses, taps, or 5-way presses, and the current screen cannot be changed until you slide the switch to the center position.

Don’ts
[ !
] IMPORTANT Do not open your device for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Attempting to remove the hard drive voids the warranty on your device.
• Do not drop, bang, or otherwise cause a strong impact to your device. If you drop the device while the amber indicator light is flashing—indicating that the hard drive is processing information—you may damage the hard drive.
• Do not carry your device in your back pocket; you might sit on it by mistake.
• Do not let your device get wet; don’t even leave it in a damp location.
• Do not expose your device to very hot or cold temperatures, including placing it near a heater, leaving it in the trunk of a car, or setting it by a window in direct sunlight.
• Do not carry or use your device at extremely high altitudes, unless you’re in an airplane.
• Do not place your device near strong magnetic fields such as wireless modems. This could cause loss of information on the hard drive.
Conserving battery power
If you see an alert on the screen warning you that the battery is low, recharge your device. Also recharge your device if it doesn’t turn on when you slide the power switch.
NOTE The memory on your device is designed to store your information even if the battery becomes drained to the point that you cannot turn on your device. When you recharge your device, all of your existing information in program memory and on the drive reappears.
Conserve battery life by doing any of the following:
• Adjust the screen brightness

Program memory and the hard drive
How can I work with information?
Opening files and folders from within an application
LifeDrive from palmOne
With its large hard drive, your device becomes a four gigabyte (4GB) extension of your computer that you can take with you on the go. This extra capacity lets you carry many more of your documents, folders, photos, and music files with you.
But the drive offers more than just storage capacity. With the LifeDrive™
Manager application, you can simply drag and drop to transfer files and folders from your computer to the drive, organize them the way you want, and work with them directly on the device. After you make changes, you can synchronize to ensure that the most current version of your information exists on both your device and your computer.
Benefits
• Quickly enter and update information on your device and your computer
• Transfer and work with applications, files, and folders on your device
• Synchronize individual files or entire folders with one button
• Protect your information by quickly backing up and saving files and folders to your computer

Program memory and the hard drive
Your device contains two types of storage: program memory and the 4GB hard drive.
Program memory Your device includes 64MB of program memory for Palm OS ® applications such as Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and
Memos. Information in the program memory is automatically
updated when you do a full sync. For example, if you enter contact
information on your computer, you can synchronize to update the info in Contacts on your device.
0
The info for each Palm OS application—for example, individual contact entries—may be stored in your device’s program memory. You can view and work with this information from within the application itself. You cannot, however, view any info stored in program memory directly using
Hard drive The 4GB hard drive works similarly to other standard
USB drives. You can store any type of file, folder, or application on this drive. View and access the contents of the drive using the Files application on your device, or view the contents using LifeDrive
Manager (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac and Windows) on your
computer. You can manage items on the drive in various ways: copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and so on, by using LifeDrive
Manager (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac and Windows), or Files on your device.
When you copy a file or folder from your computer to your device using LifeDrive Manager, you can choose to synchronize that file or folder.
Another method of storage that you may already be familiar with is an expansion card. You can
view and access files or folders on an expansion card using the Files application on your device, and manage your files on a card using LifeDrive Manager or Drive Mode.
35
CHAPTER 2
Tip
Be sure to take your USB sync cable with you so that you can connect your device to another computer to synchronize, use LifeDrive Manager, or
good idea to take your AC charger with you as well, especially if you plan to use Drive Mode to transfer files to another computer.
Your 4GB Hard Drive
You can also access the files on the drive or on an expansion card by opening the corresponding application and browsing to the file.
How can I work with information?
There are three main methods for moving and managing information between your device and a computer. These methods are discussed in detail in this chapter.
LifeDrive Manager (Windows only) Use LifeDrive Manager to transfer files and folders to your device’s drive. LifeDrive Manager copies or moves the items you select instantly. You can choose whether to synchronize items you move using LifeDrive Manager, as well as whether to convert photos and videos for best viewing on your device.
Drive Mode Use Drive Mode when connected to a Mac computer to move files between a computer and your device’s hard drive. Also use Drive Mode to open, move, or copy files on your device when it’s connected to a Windows computer that does not have LifeDrive Manager installed.
While you’re using Drive Mode, you cannot use any other feature of your device.
Synchronization Synchronization updates and backs up information between your device and your computer. Information entered in one place is automatically updated in the other, and info in your device’s program memory and on the hard drive is backed up on your computer.
You can synchronize in one of two ways: do a full sync of everything on your device using the sync
button on the USB sync cable, or sync selected items on the hard drive using the LifeDrive
You can also synchronize to install applications to your program memory.

CHAPTER 2
Tip
If you are transferring a large video file and choose the Format for device option, you can interrupt the formatting process if, for example, you need to take your device with you away from you desk. When you reconnect your device and your computer, the formatting process picks up where it left off.
LifeDrive from palmOne
Your 4GB Hard Drive
LifeDrive Manager and Drive Mode
Both LifeDrive Manager and Drive Mode let you work with files and folders between your device and your computer. So when would you use one method or the other? Here are some common situations in which you would choose LifeDrive Manager or Drive Mode.
LifeDrive Manager
Use LifeDrive Manager in the following situations:
• You are transferring files or folders to your device and want to be able to synchronize them.
• You are transferring photos or videos and want to convert them for best viewing or playback on your device.
• You are carrying a file that cannot be opened on your device that you want to work with on another computer.
• You want to work on your device during the transfer process. With LifeDrive Manager, you can continue to work with information on your device as files or folders are being moved or copied.
You cannot use any of the features of your device when it is in Drive Mode.
Drive Mode
Use Drive Mode in the following situations:
• You are transferring files or folders to or from a Mac computer. LifeDrive Manager is supported on Windows computers only.
• You are transferring items to or from a Windows computer that does not have LifeDrive
Manager.
• You have a file on your device that you want to work with using a computer, but you don't want to copy the file to the computer. With LifeDrive Manager, you must first transfer a file or folder to your computer before you can open or edit the item. With Drive Mode, you can use the
Windows Explorer or Finder window to open a file or folder directly from your device. So, for example, if you are a guest at a computer and do not want to put a copy of a confidential file on that computer, you can use Drive Mode to open and work with the file directly on your device.
37
CHAPTER 2
Tip
When you copy a photo or video to your device, select the option Format for device if you plan to view the item on your device only. Formatting reduces the file size and fits the photo or video to your device’s screen exactly.
Use the Copy or Keep synchronized option if you plan to transfer the photo from your device to another computer. This keeps the original file size, resolution, and file type intact.
LifeDrive from palmOne
Your 4GB Hard Drive
Using LifeDrive Manager
NOTE
On a Mac computer, use Drive Mode to move files to your device’s hard drive.
WINDOWS ONLY
On a Windows computer, LifeDrive Manager provides a live window to your device’s hard drive.
Use LifeDrive Manager to copy, move, and manage files and folders on your device. LifeDrive
Manager copies and moves items instantly; you do not need to synchronize to transfer the information. With LifeDrive Manager you can work on your device even while transferring files.
Using LifeDrive Manager, quickly move and carry large amounts of your important Office files, photos, music, videos, and other files on your device. Use the Files application to access and edit information on your device, or use Drive Mode to access and edit that information when you’re connected to a computer that supports external flash drives.
When you transfer one or more files or folders into the LifeDrive Manager window, a dialog box appears asking you how you want the item to be treated:
Copy The items are simply copied to your device and are not updated during synchronization.
Format for device If you transfer photo or video files to your device, you can choose to convert them to a format that works best on (is optimized for) your device. Converting a photo or video does any or all of the following, if needed: changes the item to a format that your device can display; rotates the item so that it’s displayed correctly; and reduces the file to a size that fits your device’s screen, resulting in a smaller file size. In some cases, conversion might result in a lower resolution for the photo or video.
If you choose to format, the original photo or video remains in its unchanged format on your computer.
If you are transferring a group of photo and/or video files at once—for example, if you select and drag them all together or if the files are all in one folder—your formatting choice applies to all of the files. You cannot choose to format some files transferred as a group and not others.
38
CHAPTER 2

Key Term
Sync item A file or folder on your device’s hard drive that you choose to synchronize. If you create a sync folder, all items in the folder— including any subfolders—are automatically sync items.
LifeDrive from palmOne
Your 4GB Hard Drive
Keep synchronized You can choose to make the items you copy sync items—that is, items that are updated when you synchronize your device with your computer. If you select this option, any changes you make to the file or folder in one location (device or computer) are made automatically in the other the next time you synchronize.
If you transfer multiple files or folders at once, your synchronization choice applies to all of the items; you cannot choose to synchronize some but not others.
NOTE If you transfer a file or folder into a folder that displays the sync item icon becomes a sync item even if you choose Copy or Format for device. However, the item
, the item synchronizes to the corresponding sync folder on your computer, not to the original file or folder.
So you have two versions of the file or folder on your computer: the original one in its original location (which does not sync), and the new one in the sync folder (which does sync).
For example, suppose you copy a music file called MySong in the MyMusic folder on your computer to the Music folder on your device, which you have set as a sync folder. You choose
Copy during the transfer. Because the Music folder is a sync folder, when you synchronize, a copy of the Music folder containing the file MySong appears on your computer. However, the original file MySong remains in the MyMusic folder on your computer and does not synchronize.
Transferring information using the LifeDrive Manager icon
If you want your files or folders to go to a default location on your device, you can simply drag the items onto the LifeDrive Manager icon on your computer. LifeDrive Manager copies the items to a specific location on your device’s drive depending on the file types.
Default folders: Applications, Documents, Music, Photos & Videos LifeDrive Manager copies the items to one of these four folders if both of the following are true:
• All of the items you drag to the LifeDrive Manager icon are of a type associated with one of these folders—for example, JPG, BMP, and ASF files that are associated with the Photos & Video folder.
• You select the Copy or the Format for device option.

Your 4GB Hard Drive
Root level of the drive LifeDrive Manager copies all of the items to the root level of the hard drive—not to a specific folder—if any of the following are true:
• Any of the items you drag is not associated with a default folder—for example, you transfer photos, videos, and a graphic that is not a recognized file type for the Photos & Videos folder.
• The items are associated with more than one default folder—for example, you are transferring both photos and music files at the same time.

Tip
Just as it is safer to use different personal identification numbers
(PINs) for different bank accounts, your passkeys are more secure if you use a different passkey for each device with which you want to connect—one passkey for a connection to a phone, a different one for a connection to a computer, and so on. Just remember that you must enter the same passkey on your device and on the device with which you want to connect.

In this chapter
You already know how efficient email is for staying in touch with personal and business contacts. Now the
VersaMail ® application brings you a new level of convenience: email on the go. Enjoy the ease and speed of communicating with friends, family, and colleagues anywhere you can make an Internet connection.
You can email photos to your friends and family. Or use Documents on your device to create Microsoft Word or
Excel files, and send them to your colleagues. You can also receive any of these file types as attachments to view and edit at your convenience.
Benefits
• Access email on the go

CHAPTER 9 Your Email
Setting up an account
[ !
] IMPORTANT You must have an account with an email provider or a corporate account.
VersaMail works with these accounts to transfer messages to and from your device. The application is not an email service provider.
Before you can use the VersaMail application with a given email account, you need to set up the account in VersaMail. You can do this in one of three ways:
• On a Windows computer, if the email account is already set up on your computer—for example, if you use Outlook Express on your computer to access your EarthLink account—you can transfer the account settings to your device in just a few steps.
• On a Windows computer, if this is a new account, you can quickly set up the account on your
computer and synchronize the information to your device.
• On a Mac computer, you can set up the account directly on your device. Windows users can also choose to set up either a new or existing account directly on the device.
NOTE
Special setup considerations apply if you are setting up a Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync® account to synchronize email and Calendar information with Microsoft Exchange
Server 2003.

Saving attachments
Downloaded attachments are saved automatically to a default location on your device’s hard drive; in addition, you can manually save them to a location you choose.
Automatic By default, whenever an attachment is downloaded, it is saved in the VersaMail
Attachments folder on your drive. The email message containing the attachment is saved in your device’s program memory; only the attachment is saved on the drive.
Items in the VersaMail Attachments folder remain linked to the message to which they were attached. For example, if you delete the message in VersaMail, the attachment is deleted from the folder. Or, if the message is automatically deleted after a certain number of days, the attachment is deleted from the folder at that time.
You can view and work with attachments in the VersaMail Attachments folder in the same way that
you can view and work with any other file on your drive. Use Files to open, edit, or move the
attachment, or use LifeDrive™ Manager to copy the attachment to your computer or to identify it
NOTE If you edit an attachment in the VersaMail Attachments folder, you are prompted to save the attachment to a different location on the drive so that the original attachment stays unchanged.
Manual
When an attachment is downloaded, you can choose to save the attachment to a
location you specify on your drive or to an expansion card. If you choose this option, the attachment is saved both in the VersaMail Attachments folder and to the selected location, where you can work with it as you do with any other file on the drive or on an expansion card.
Attachments you manually save are no longer linked to the original message. If you delete the message in VersaMail, the attachment remains on the drive or on the card.

Working with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync works with the VersaMail and Calendar applications on your device to directly access corporate groupware information on a Microsoft Exchange 2003 server.
You can access business email and calendar info on the Exchange 2003 server from your device without using a desktop computer.
When you create a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account in the VersaMail application, both your email and calendar info synchronize directly with the Exchange server; information does not synchronize with the desktop software application on your computer, such as Microsoft Outlook or
Palm Desktop software. Other information, such as contacts, tasks, and memos, continues to synchronize with your desktop software.
For complete information on using a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, see the User Guide for your device on the web.

Common Questions
Why can’t I see a file I moved from my computer to my device?
Your device stores information in two locations: program memory and the hard drive. When you
view files on your device using LifeDrive Manager on your computer or Files on your device, only files on the drive are displayed.
If you used Quick Install (Windows) or the Send To Handheld droplet (Mac) to move a file to your device, depending on the file type, the file may be located in your device’s program memory. If this is the case, you can’t view the file using LifeDrive Manager or Files, but you can access it by using the appropriate application. If you want to be able to see the file in the LifeDrive Manager window or on the Files screen, copy it to your device’s drive using LifeDrive Manager.
I made updates to a file on my device, but when I synchronize, why don’t the changes show up in the file on my computer?
When you use LifeDrive Manager to send files or folders to your device, you have the choice of whether the items will be included in synchronization. If you choose to just copy the items, they will not be included in synchronization. If you update the file or folder on your device, use
LifeDrive Manager to copy the updated item back to your computer.
Can I enter a memo or a contact when my device is in Drive Mode?
When your device is in Drive Mode, it works just like any external drive such as a CD drive. You cannot enter or work with information directly on your device while it is in Drive Mode. To work with information directly on your device, turn Drive Mode off.
When your device is in Drive Mode and is connected to a computer, you can open files from your device’s drive on the computer using Windows Explorer or My Computer (on a Windows computer) or Finder (on a Mac computer), and work with them there.
Your device still displays alerts, such as for appointments or email messages, when in Drive Mode.

Static Electricity, ESD, and Your palmOne™ Device
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 palmOne™ device, from ESD harm. While palmOne has built 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 device, 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 palmOne is that you take this precaution before connecting your device to your computer, placing the device 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.
178
LifeDrive from palmOne
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.
