Connecting to a Bluetooth Hands-Free Device
Once you set up a partnership with a Bluetooth hands-free device such as a headset or car
kit, you can communicate with that device whenever it is turned on and within range.
Bluetooth range is up to 30 feet (10 meters) in optimum environmental conditions.
Performance and range may be reduced by physical obstacles, radio interference from
nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.

6. Select Hands-free Setup.
7. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a partnership with
the specific hands-free device. When prompted, enter a
passkey.
Basics

Important:
Some hands-free devices have a predefined passkey. If your device has
a predefined passkey, you can find the passkey in the documentation
for that device. Other devices provide a screen where you enter a
passkey that you make up. In either case, you must use the same
passkey on both your Treo device and your hands-free device. We
recommend that, where possible, you make up a passkey of 16
alphanumeric characters (letters and numerals only) to improve the
security of your Treo device. The longer the passkey, the more difficult
it is for the passkey to be deciphered.
8. After you finish setting up the device, select Done to return to Trusted Devices view.
Note:
For some car kits, you need to initiate a Bluetooth connection from
your Treo device to complete the partnership process. To do this,
highlight the car kit in Trusted Devices view, press Menu, and then
select Connect.
9. (Optional) Enable advanced hands-free features by pressing the multifunction button
(MFB) on the hands-free device.
You know that the connection is successful when you see a light-blue headset icon in the
title bar of the Phone application. You can now use your Treo device with the Bluetooth
hands-free device.
Using a Bluetooth Hands-Free Device
After you create a partnership with your Bluetooth hands-free device and you turn it on
within range (up to 30 feet or 10 meters), your Treo device automatically routes all calls to
the hands-free device instead of to the earpiece on your Treo device. When a call comes in,
your Treo device rings and the hands-free device beeps. Even if you answer the call on your
Treo device, the call goes to the hands-free device. If you prefer to route calls to the earpiece
on your Treo device, you can change the settings on your Treo device to do this; see the User
Guide for information on customizing advanced settings for your hands-free device.

Synchronizing Information—The Basics
Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place (your device
or your computer) is automatically updated in the other, so there’s no need to enter the
information twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Treo™ 755P Smart
Device by Palm with your computer or corporate server frequently to keep your information
up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.
Important:
Windows XP users: To sync your information, you must install the
software from the Palm Software Installation CD that came with your
device—even if you sync with Outlook (sold separately) or another
third-party application. See the User Guide for information.
Windows Vista users: Before inserting the Palm Software Installation CD,
please visit www.palm.com/windowsvista. You’ll find installation
instructions, along with the most current information on using your
device and desktop software with Windows Vista.
Information from all the following applications is updated by default each time you
synchronize your device with your desktop software:

computer is enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can also synchronize
wirelessly or use your device as a wireless modem. See the User Guide for details.
You can create a list of Bluetooth devices that you trust to communicate with your Treo
device. When communicating with trusted devices, your Treo device skips the discovery
process and creates a secure link as long as the Bluetooth device is within range. Bluetooth
range is up to 30 feet (10 meters), depending on environmental conditions, including
obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.

General Precautions
There are several simple guidelines to operating your device properly and maintaining safe,
satisfactory service.
䢇 Speak directly into the microphone.
䢇 Avoid exposing your device and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your device does
get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.
䢇 Although your device is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be
broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
䢇 Any changes or modifications to your device not expressly approved in this document
could void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this
equipment.
Note:
100
For the best care of your device, you must allow only Sprint authorized
personnel to service your device and accessories. Failure to do so may
be dangerous and void your warranty.
Safety
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device
Do Not Rely on Your Device’s Phone for Emergency Calls
Wireless phones such as the one on your Treo device operate using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon
any wireless phone for essential communication (for example, medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network
services and/or phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is
prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety
always comes first.
Tip:
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or
call the Sprint Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by entering
#222 on your device.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your device safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a
given area. Turn your device’s phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may
cause interference or danger.
Using Your Device’s Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating
systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or
their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external
Safety
101
Safety
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals. However,
RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and
hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Note:
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with
aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to
have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.
To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the
plane is in the air.
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or
in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not
always, clearly marked. They include:
䢇 Fueling areas such as gas stations.
䢇 Below deck on boats.
䢇 Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
䢇 Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
䢇 Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
102
Safety
Note:
Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your
phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device
Your Treo device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it, because they could hurt
themselves and others, damage the device and/or its phone, or make calls that increase
your Sprint invoice.
Safety
Safety
103
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
Your Treo device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements.
For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product, please refer to
www.palm.com/treoHAC.
Your device has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless
phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may
detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune
than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference
they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to
assist hearing-device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the
box. Your Treo 755P Smart Device by Palm phone has an M3 and T3 rating.
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of
your hearing device and the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to
be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying
out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less
interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher
of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable
with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4
is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices contain telecoils.)
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you are to experience
interference noise from your wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings
similar to those of phones. Ask your hearing health-care professional for the rating of your
104
Safety
hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable
usability:
䢇 Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.
䢇 Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
䢇 Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of
six for “best use.” This is synonymous for T ratings.
Sprint Nextel further suggests that you experiment with multiple phones (even those not
labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your
hearing aid device. If you experience interference or find the quality of service
unsatisfactory after purchasing your device, promptly return it to the store within 30 days
of purchase. With the Sprint 30-day Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the device within
30 days of purchase for a full refund.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Device
To further minimize interference:
䢇 There is usually less interference on the microphone setting than on the telecoil setting.
䢇 Set the phone’s screen and keyboard backlight settings to ensure the minimum time
interval.
䢇 Move the phone around to find the point with the least interference.
䢇 If your hearing aid is equipped with a telecoil, turn on the HAC setting on your device.
Turning on the HAC Setting
Safety
105
Safety
When the HAC setting is on, your device sends the audio from your phone calls to the
telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls much
better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback are diminished.
The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to through the earpiece. It does not
affect calls heard on the speakerphone or with a car kit or headset. HAC requires extra
battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it's turned on.
Caution:
Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a
telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid
without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing.

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows
people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate by telephone.
Your device is compatible with select TTY devices. You can connect a TTY/TDD machine,
headset, or hands-free kit to your device through the headset jack while this mode is
enabled. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device for connectivity
information and to ensure that the TTY device supports digital wireless transmission.
When establishing your Sprint service, please call Sprint Customer Service via the state
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first pressing 711 and then pressing Talk
Then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.
WARNING:
.
911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other
means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog
cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may
be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs),
rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem
encountered appears to be related to TTY equipment or software used
by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC,
and the wireless industry and PSAP community are currently working
to resolve this.

Safety
The guidelines listed here help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
䢇 Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating,
catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable
manufacturing standards. Sprint is not aware of similar problems with Sprint Treo
devices resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by Sprint or
the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint or manufacturer-approved batteries
and accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your device’s manufacturer, or call
1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also available at www.sprint.com — click the
Accessories link under Shop & Browse. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the
best way to ensure that they’re genuine and safe.
䢇 To avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F to
113° F (0° C to 45° C).
䢇 Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the
bathroom.
䢇 Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
䢇 Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䢇 Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
䢇 The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.
䢇 It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It
can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
䢇
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to
follow these storage rules:
䡲 Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
䡲 More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)
Disposal of Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do not handle a damaged or leaking li-ion battery; you can be burned.
For safe disposal options of your li-ion batteries, contact your nearest Sprint authorized
service center.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of
batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.

Safety
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and
transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital
mode.
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety
The design of your Treo device complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers
and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed
this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In
August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE
standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov.
Safety
111
Safety
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your
body, use the carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory that is supplied by or
approved by Sprint. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure that the antenna is at
least 7/16 inches (1.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of accessories
that are not approved by Sprint may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the
head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring, and calculation
process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested
at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a
phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a
variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design, and other
factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines.
Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of
safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not
mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported (FCC) SAR values of the Treo 755P Smart Device by Palm are:
Maximum SAR Values
CDMA Cellular
CDMA PCS
Held to Ear
1.07 (W/1Kg)
1.46 (W/1Kg)
Body-Worn

Static Electricity, ESD, and Your 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 Palm® device, from
ESD harm. While Palm 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 Palm 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 Palm is that you take this precaution before connecting your device
114
Safety
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:
䢇 Ground yourself when you’re holding your 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.
䢇 Increase the relative humidity of your environment.
䢇 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:
䢇 Low relative humidity.
䢇 Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are
more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)
䢇 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.
