Chapter 1 : Welcome

Your Palm® Pixi™ Plus phone
In one compact and indispensable device, you now have all of the following:
• An advanced wireless phone running the Palm® webOS™ platform
• A full suite of organizer applications: Contacts, Calendar, Memos, and
Tasks
• High-speed data transfer with EvDO and 1x support
• Wi-Fi capability
• A 2-megapixel digital camera
• GPS functionality
• Integrated text, multimedia, and instant messaging (IM)
• Tools to view and manage Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF files
• App Catalog, where you can download applications designed for your
phone; select from an ever-expanding list of applications.
Your Palm® Pixi™ Plus phone puts Palm’s new 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 Plus 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, and go to
palm.com/support to see animations that demonstrate these gestures. Carry
the Gesture Guide (included in the box with your Pixi Plus phone) around
with you and you’ll soon know all the gestures by heart.
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.
The Palm® Synergy™ feature: The Palm® Synergy™ feature on your Pixi
Plus 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.
6
Chapter 1 : Welcome
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 Plus 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, Calendar, and
Email.
NOTE See the online accounts table at the back of the user’s guide for the
current list of online accounts that you can set up on your phone and for
information about the behavior of these accounts.
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.
Universal search: Need to call Ed? Just type ed. 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.
Sync: Your Pixi Plus 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. See What is a Palm
profile?.
WARNING Please refer to Regulatory and Safety Information for information
that helps you safely use your phone. Failure to read and follow the important
safety information in this guide may result in property damage, serious bodily
injury, or death.

What is a Palm profile?
Your Palm profile gives you the following benefits:
Complete setup
1
Press and hold the power button
on the upper-left corner of your
phone until you see the Palm® logo on the screen (approximately five
seconds).
2
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup.
3
To create a Palm profile, enter a working email address and select and
answer a security question (see What is a Palm profile?).
NOTE If you have a Palm profile from an old webOS phone that you no
longer use, you can enter that profile email address and username to
download that profile information to your new phone. But if you are still using
the other phone, you must create a new Palm profile for your Pixi Plus
phone—you can’t use the same profile on two phones.
4
Your phone is ready to use. To learn how to make your first call, see
Make calls.
• Automatic system and software updates are sent to your phone.
• A 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.
NOTE You cannot access Palm profile data on the profile website—you can
access the data on your phone only.
• Info stored in your Palm profile account, as well as info you have in
applications on your phone (like Memos and Tasks), is automatically
backed up to servers administered by Palm.
• If your phone is lost or stolen, you can do a remote erase of the info on the
phone.
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 of the phone itself
(see Erase data and reset your phone).
For detailed information about your Palm profile, see Backup.
Verify your profile
After you finish setup, look for an email on your computer at the address you
used for your Palm profile. Click the link in the email to do the following:
• Verify your Palm profile.
• Follow a link to learn about getting data like contacts and appointments
onto your phone from your desktop organizer software (see How do I get
data off my computer?).
TIP If you don’t see the confirmation email in your Inbox, check your spam
mail folder in your desktop email program.
Although you create a Palm profile by entering a valid email address, setting
up a Palm profile is different from setting up email on your phone. To set up
email, see Set up email. To change your Palm profile information after you
have set it up, see Update your Palm Profile settings.
Charge the battery
When the battery is very low, the battery
icon in the upper-right corner
of the screen changes to red. When the battery is fully charged, the icon
appears full and changes to green .
Chapter 2 : Basics
13
2
Connect the small end of the USB cable to the charger/microUSB
connector.
See Maximizing battery life for tips on making your battery’s power last
longer.
3
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the AC charger.
1
4
Plug the AC charger into a working outlet.
WARNING Use only batteries and chargers that are approved by Palm with your
phone. Failure to use a battery or charger approved by Palm may increase the risk
that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in property damage,
serious bodily injury, or death. Use of unapproved third-party power supply
accessories may damage the phone and void the Limited Warranty for the
product.
Although the battery may come with a sufficient charge to complete the
setup process, we recommend that after setup you charge your phone until
the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen is full to ensure
that the battery is fully charged.
On the right side of your phone, open the charger/microUSB
connector.
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.
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:
• Charge 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.
• Set your screen to turn off automatically after a shorter period of inactivity
(see Set the interval for turning the screen off automatically).
• Keep your battery away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat.
Temperatures over 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius) can
permanently reduce the capacity and life span of any lithium-ion battery.
14
Chapter 2 : Basics
• As 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)).
• The fewer wireless connections you have, the less power is required of the
battery. Turn on airplane mode when you don’t need to be wirelessly
connected. Airplane mode turns off your connection to the Verizon
Wireless network, and it also turns off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. You can turn
on Wi-Fi (see Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth (see Bluetooth® wireless technology)
separately when airplane mode is on. You can also turn off GPS (see
Location Services).
• If 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).
• Lower the screen brightness (see Change screen brightness).
• Keep in mind that frequent use of instant messaging (IM) can reduce
battery life.
• Turn 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).
• 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 and click Accessories for your phone.
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 unlock the screen.
* Power
To turn the screen off, press power
.
To save power, the screen dims automatically after a period of inactivity and
then turns off. You can be on a call when the screen dims and turns off—this
does not affect the call. To brighten the screen after it dims, tap the screen.
Turn the phone on/off
TIP You can set how long the screen stays on during a period of inactivity (see
Set the interval for turning the screen off automatically).
Your Pixi Plus phone’s screen can be turned on and off separately from its
wireless services (which are the Phone
app, Wi-Fi
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 wireless services off (airplane mode)
Airplane mode turns off your phone as well as the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ®
wireless technology features. Use airplane mode when you are on a plane or
anywhere else you need to turn off all wireless services. You can’t browse
the web, but you can still use apps like Calendar, Contacts, Photos, Music,
Doc View, and PDF View.
Chapter 2 : Basics
15
Do one of the following:
Turn wireless services on
• Tap the upper-right corner of any screen to open the connection menu.
Tap Turn on Airplane Mode.
• Press and hold power
and tap Airplane Mode.
When you turn on your phone, it automatically connects to your mobile
network so that you can make and receive phone calls and use other
wireless services (if supported by the local network).
When your phone is in airplane mode, the airplane mode
icon appears at
the top of every screen, and Airplane Mode appears in the upper-left corner
of the screen in the Launcher, Card view, and Phone. Your phone is not
connected to any mobile network.
• If airplane mode is turned on, you need to turn it off before you can
connect to your mobile network. Tap the upper-right corner of any screen
to open the connection menu. Tap Turn off Airplane Mode.
When your phone locates a signal, Verizon Wireless appears in the
upper-left corner of the screen in the Launcher, Card view, and Phone,
and the signal-strength
icon appears at the top of the screen.
* These indicate that wireless services are off (airplane mode).
TIP When your phone is in airplane mode, you can turn the Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth features on individually (see Turn Wi-Fi on and off and Turn the
Bluetooth feature on/off). To turn your phone back on, you must turn airplane
mode off.
16
Chapter 2 : Basics
* These indicate that wireless services are on.
When you are inside a phone coverage area, the bars on the signal-strength
icon are filled in. If you’re outside a coverage area, the bars in the
signal-strength icon appear dimmed with an X.
Turn everything (the screen and wireless services) on/off
Usually, turning your phone off and/or putting it in airplane mode is
sufficient for normal periods when you have the phone with you but you’re
not using it. On rare occasions, however, you may want to put your phone
into deep sleep because you are not going to use it for an extended period.
At those times, do one of the following:
• Open Device Info
and tap Reset Options. Tap Shut Down, and tap
Shut Down again.
• Press and hold power , and tap Power. Tap Shut Down/Swap
Battery, and tap Shut Down.
Use gestures: tap, swipe, drag, flick, pinch
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. Don’t 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 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.
* Gesture area
NOTE When you turn everything off, the phone’s alarms, ringer, and
notifications are also turned off.
To turn both the screen and wireless services back on, press and hold
power .
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.
Chapter 2 : Basics
17
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.
• When you’re in Card view, tap the center of the gesture area to maximize
the app in the center of the view.
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.
Tap the center of the gesture area to do the following:
• When 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).
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.
The forward gesture, available in Web only, is a swipe from left to right
anywhere in the gesture area. The forward gesture allows you to move
forward through previously viewed web pages.
18
Chapter 2 : Basics
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.
To close an application in Card view, flick the card up toward the top of the
touchscreen. This is called throwing the card off the top of the screen.
In some applications, such as Email and Messaging, you can throw a list
item off the side of the screen to delete the item.
If an application is maximized, you can flick up from the gesture area to the
screen to minimize the app and display Card view. This is the up gesture. If
you make the up gesture when Card view is displayed, you open the
Launcher.
Scroll gestures
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

your phone’s operating system, your personal information and files are not
affected. In addition to receiving update notifications, you can manually
check for operating system updates at any time (see Manually check for

IMPORTANT Do not remove the battery while updates are being installed.
Here is some additional information about system updates:
• If you have Wi-Fi turned on and the battery has at least a 30% charge,
your phone automatically downloads a system update if one is available—
you don’t have to do anything. If Wi-Fi is not turned on when the update
becomes available, the Palm servers continue to check your phone for
Wi-Fi availability for two days.
• If you do not have Wi-Fi turned on anytime within two days of an update’s
becoming available, your phone automatically downloads the update over
Verizon Wireless’s network as long as the battery has at least a 30%
charge and you have a data connection, as indicated by the
or
icon
at the top of the screen.
Chapter 2 : Basics

• If the battery has less than a 30% charge, you must charge the battery
before you can download or install an update.
• To avoid roaming charges, updates are not downloaded if your phone is in
roaming coverage.
• If you do not install an update immediately after downloading it, you are
prompted to install the update the next time you charge your phone. You
can choose whether to install the update now or later. You have ten
minutes to decide; otherwise, the update installs automatically.

Copy music, photos, and videos using third-party software
Besides using USB Drive mode to copy your photos, videos, and DRM-free
music from your computer to your phone, you can also use solutions
available from third-party software developers (sold separately) that
facilitate the transfer of media files to your phone. For more information, go
to palm.com/sync-solutions.
Sync personal data using third-party software
You can set up online accounts like Google and Exchange to sync your
contacts (see How do I add names and other info into Contacts?) and
calendar events (see How do I get events into Calendar?).
If, however, you prefer to leave your personal data on your computer and
sync it directly with the data on your phone, there are third-party solutions
(sold separately) available to enable you to do that. For more information, go

Transferring data
If you have data such as contacts or calendar
appointments in a desktop organizer such as Palm®
Desktop software by ACCESS or Microsoft Outlook®,
you can transfer that data to your Palm® Pixi™ Plus
phone.
From a Windows computer, you can transfer contacts,
calendar appointments, tasks, and memos/notes from
Palm Desktop software by ACCESS version 6.2 and
Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later. From a Mac
computer, you can transfer contacts, calendar events,

phone that you want to stop using? You can do a one-time, one-way export
of data to your Pixi Plus phone, and then if you choose to, use the Synergy
feature to sync the data to Google or Exchange.
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?, How do I get events into
Calendar?, and How do I send and receive email on my phone?).

gmail.com) or with Microsoft Exchange (speak to an IT person at your
company).

Enter your username and password for the Google or Exchange
account. See Use Contacts for the first time.
If you don't want to sync with an online account, there are other ways to get
data on your phone. See I’d rather sync directly with my computer.
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). 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 Plus phone.

included with your phone. After the data is on your phone, you can select
the account you want to import the data to.

WARNING If driving while using a phone is permitted in your area, we
recommend using a headset or hands-free car kit (sold separately). However, be
aware that use of a headset that covers both ears impairs your ability to hear other
sounds. Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle
may create a serious hazard to you and others, and may be illegal. If you must use
a stereo headset while driving, place a speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear
free to hear outside noises, and use the headset only if it is legal and you can do so
safely.

Bluetooth feature on your phone is turned on. The range varies greatly,
depending on environmental factors. The maximum is about 30 feet
(10 meters).
Customize phone settings

Enable international dialing
Use dialing shortcuts
The international dialing preference makes it easy to make calls to another
country, for example, to call home when you are traveling abroad. When
you make a call, your phone automatically adds the dialing prefix for the
country you are calling.Suppose you select the U.S. or Canada as the
country for your international dialing preference. Your phone adds “+1” if
you dial a 10-digit U.S. or Canadian number. It adds “+1” and your phone's
area code if you dial a 7-digit US or Canadian number.
Dialing shortcuts add a prefix at the beginning of a number, so you can dial
an extension instead of the whole number.

Tap Done.
NOTE Your Pixi Plus phone supports only International CDMA Roaming.
Refer to verizonwireless.com for a complete list of the over 40 countries in

Use dialing tones
Dialing tones, also known as DTMF tones, are the tones that play when you

In DTMF tones, tap Short or Long, and then tap the option you want.
Example: A complete phone number in your company’s phone system has
11 numbers, for example, 1-555-408-1122. When dialing from a phone that’s
part of the system, you need to dial only the last five digits (81122). When
you create a dialing shortcut on your phone, you select “5 digit numbers” for
When I Dial and enter “155540” in Use This Dialing Prefix. So when you
dial your co-worker’s five-digit extension (51122), your phone automatically
dials the whole number: 1-555-408-1122.
Set roaming and data usage preferences
Use roaming and data usage preferences to set options for using your phone
in your home network and while roaming. For example, you can set options

Messaging
And keep the Messaging app in mind for times when
you need to send a short text, multimedia, or instant

Email
How do I send and receive email on my phone?
Use the Email application on your phone to access the many email accounts
you have: company (like Exchange), ISP (like EarthLink or Comcast), and
web-based (like Gmail).
The Palm® Synergy™ feature makes it easy to synchronize all 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 Google contacts account in Contacts before you set up Gmail, when
you first open Email, you find that your Gmail messages are already
downloaded. And when you first open Calendar, you find that your Google
calendar events are already in your phone’s Calendar app.
For email accounts that do not make use of the Synergy feature, you need to
enter the settings for that account—such as username and password—
directly in the Email application (see Set up email).
You can also use your phone’s web browser to view your web-based
email—just go to the email provider’s website.
1 The number to the right of All inboxes indicates the total number of unread email messages
in all your email accounts.
2 The number to the right of an individual folder name indicates the number of unread
messages in that folder.
If you reply to a message when you’re working in All inboxes, the message is
sent from the same account in which it was received.
If you create a new message when you’re working in All inboxes, the
message goes out using the account you set as the default account (see Set
email preferences).
Merged inboxes in Email
You can set up multiple email accounts on your phone. When you open
Email, you see all your accounts in a single view: Account List view. From
there, you can open the inbox of an individual account—or, thanks to the
Palm® Synergy™ feature, you can see all messages from all your inboxes
displayed in a single merged view called All inboxes.
Set up email
Follow this procedure if you have a common email provider, for example,
AOL, EarthLink, or Yahoo! If you are setting up the Email application to work
with your corporate email account that uses Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync, see Set up email: Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (EAS).
If the email account you set up takes advantage of the Synergy feature, then
setting up email also synchronizes the provider's calendar and contacts.

• Tap whether to accept, tentatively accept, or decline an invitation.
You can use the Messaging application to send and receive the following
types of messages:
Here are the key features of meeting invitations:
• Meeting invitations appear on your phone in the Email application, not in
the Calendar application.
• From within the Email application, you can accept, decline, or tentatively
accept a meeting invitation.
• If you accept or tentatively accept an invitation, it appears as an event in
Calendar.
• You can reply to and forward meeting invitations in the same way as
email messages.
TIP If you receive an updated meeting invitation, you can again choose to
accept, decline, or tentatively accept. If you receive a meeting cancellation,
open the message and tap Remove From Calendar to delete the meeting
from your calendar.
• Text and multimedia messages (see Create and send a text or multimedia
message)
• Instant messages for an IM account you already have set up online (see
Set up an instant messaging (IM) account)
The Synergy feature enables the Messaging app to gather all your text,
multimedia, and instant messages to and from the same contact or phone
number into a single conversation (sometimes called a thread). So you can
see your entire message history with a person regardless of the different
methods you happened to use to communicate with that person (see Work
with conversations). You can even switch from account to account without
losing the thread of your conversation (see Switch between messaging
accounts in a conversation)—just pick the messaging account that's most
likely to keep you in unbroken contact with the person you're talking to.

Personal information
Your Palm® Pixi™ Plus phone is all you need to
organize your personal information and keep it with

All your personal information is backed up and kept

Contacts
How do I add names and other info into Contacts?
You have a few options for getting contact info into to show up in 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), or anytime after that (see Customize
Contacts). 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, provided the account
allows writing from the phone 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.
NOTE See the online accounts table at the back of the user’s guide 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?).
Enter a contact directly in Contacts: See Create a contact for instructions.
You can assign the contact to one of your online address books—if you do, it

Chapter 6 : Personal information
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. See Receive
vCards.
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.

• Tap an address field to view the address on a map.
You can unlink automatically linked contacts, and you can manually link
contacts yourself (see Link a contact or Unlink a contact).
.
• To set up your first online account to sync: Tap the account type,
enter the account information, and tap Sign in.
• To set up a second online account to sync: Tap Add An Account,
tap the account type, enter the account information, and tap
Sign In.
• To open Contacts without creating an online account: Tap
Done. This opens your Palm profile account, and you can start
creating contacts in this account.
NOTE If you add your Facebook or LinkedIn account to Contacts, your
friends’ Facebook and LinkedIn email addresses show up in Contacts. You
cannot change Facebook or LinkedIn info from Contacts on your phone. You
also cannot add friends to your Facebook or LinkedIn account from Contacts.
To work directly with Facebook or LinkedIn, go to facebook.com or
linkedin.com in the Web application (see Web). To update your status and see
your Facebook news feed, use the Facebook application developed for your
phone (see Facebook).

Connect to an online calendar through the Palm® Synergy™ feature: If
you have a calendar in an online account that works with the Synergy
feature (for example, Google or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync), you can
set up Calendar on your phone to synchronize and display events in the
online calendar. Set up synchronization the first time you open Calendar
(see Use Calendar for the first time) or anytime after that (see Customize
Calendar). After you set up the connection to the online calendar, events
you enter online show up automatically in Calendar, and events you enter
on your phone sync to the online account.
• Send Via Email (email opens)

Do one of the following:
Transfer calendar events using the Data Transfer Assistant: When you
transfer calendar events from desktop software, you select which account to
assign those events to. Look for those events in the account you select (see
How do I get data off my computer?).
NOTE See the online accounts table at the back of the user’s guide for
the current list of online accounts that you can set up on your phone,
from which you can access Calendar events.
Enter an event directly in Calendar: See Create an event for instructions.
You can assign the event to one of your online calendars—if you do, it
synchronizes with the online calendar. Or you can create the event in your
Palm profile account, which means it shows up on your phone only. Palm
profile events are included in the daily backup of your Palm profile
information, so you can restore them if they are accidentally erased.
• To set up your first online account to sync: Tap the account type,
enter the account information, and tap Sign In.
Layered calendars
Suppose you use the calendar in both Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and in
Google. If you set up both of those accounts to sync with your phone, your
phone's Calendar app shows the events from both in a single view—a
layered calendar with events that are color-coded to identify which provider
they come from. Individual events remain stored separately with your
different providers; the events are just assembled in one view on your phone
for your convenience.
If you change an event, the change is made in the appropriate calendar.
You can also look at the events of just one calendar at a time.

Wi-Fi
What is a Wi-Fi connection?
Many environments, such as corporate offices, coffee shops, airports, and
libraries, offer access to a Wi-Fi network. A Wi-Fi network is a wireless local
area network (WLAN). Your phone supports W-Fi connectivity based on the
802.11 standard (802.11b and 802.11g), with WPA, WPA2, WEP, and 802.1x
authentication. A Wi-Fi access point, also called a hotspot, is a network
device with an antenna that provides wireless connections to a larger
network. When you’re within range of an accessible Wi-Fi network, you can
use your phone’s Wi-Fi feature to connect to that network and access the
web.
Why use a Wi-Fi connection?
network settings from the system administrator. To learn how to connect
to a secure network for the first time, see Connect to a new secure
network.
To connect to either type of network after the first time, see Connect to a
previously used network.
Turn Wi-Fi on and off
Do one of the following:
• Open Wi-Fi , and tap On or Off.
• From any screen: Open the connection menu at the upper-right corner,
tap Wi-Fi, and tap Turn on Wi-Fi or Turn off Wi-Fi.
If your phone finds the network you want, tap the network name to connect
to it. Otherwise, see Connect to a new open network and Connect to a new
secure network.
A Wi-Fi connection is especially helpful in the following situations:
• You’re outside a coverage area and you want to access the web.
• You want to maintain a web connection while talking on the phone.
• You’re inside a coverage area, but outside the Verizon Wireless EvDO
coverage area. (A Wi-Fi connection may provide faster throughput than a
1x data connection.)
Are there different kinds of Wi-Fi networks?
There are two types of Wi-Fi networks:
• Open networks: These networks broadcast their name (SSID) and do not
require you to enter a password or other settings. To learn how to connect
to an open network for the first time, see Connect to a new open network.
• Secure networks: These networks may broadcast their name, but at the
very least, they require you to enter a password that you get from an
administrator (who may be, for example, the librarian or the person
behind the counter at the coffee shop). You may also have to get other

need to open the web browser and register with the Wi-Fi service provider
before you can check email or browse the web.

Back up your information
A Palm profile connects your phone to Palm to get automatic updates, back
up your data, and more. You create a Palm profile when you set up your
phone.
• Turn off automatic backup and delete backed-up information:

Your phone backs up the contacts, calendar events, tasks, and memos that
are in your Palm profile account, as well as system settings and applications
you downloaded to your phone. An automatic backup to your Palm profile
of all this information happens every day. So if you ever need to erase the
info from your phone, you can restore all your backed-up info. You can turn
off automatic backup, and you can also perform a manual backup.
Backup does not affect information stored in online accounts like Google.
Information stored in online accounts is synchronized by the online provider
at regular intervals. Information stored in Outlook Exchange is synchronized
by your company's Exchange server.

I want to transfer my data from my computer
WARNING Use only batteries and chargers that are approved by Palm with your
phone. Failure to use a battery or charger approved by 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 power supply
accessories may damage the device and void the Limited Warranty for the
product.
If you previously synchronized data from a Palm® smartphone—such as
contacts or calendar events—with a desktop organizer such as Palm®
Desktop by ACCESS or Microsoft Outlook®, you can do a one-time,
one-way export of that data from the desktop organizer to your Palm® Pixi™
Plus phone.
IMPORTANT If your desktop Outlook synchronizes with an Exchange server
using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, you cannot do a one-way export of that
Outlook data to your phone. Instead, set up your Exchange account to
synchronize with your phone (see How do I send and receive email on my
phone?).
Windows: You can transfer contacts, calendar events, tasks, and memos/
notes from Palm Desktop software by ACCESS version 6.2 and Microsoft
Outlook 2003 or later. If you don't have Palm Desktop version 6.2, download
it for free from palm.com/support.
Mac: You can transfer contacts, calendar events, and tasks from Address
Book, iCal, or Palm Desktop software by ACCESS version 6.2. If you don't
have Palm Desktop version 6.2, download it for free from palm.com/support.
NOTE You can transfer data from Palm Desktop, Outlook on your Windows

• Move your phone closer to the hands-free device. Audio quality degrades
as the distance between your phone and the hands-free device increases.
The effective range for a hands-free device varies among manufacturers.
• Confirm that no obstructions, including your body, are between the phone
and your hands-free device. For example, move your phone to the same
side of your body as your hands-free device.
My phone seems to turn off by itself
Your phone has a power-saving feature that’s set to turn off the screen if it
has been idle for one minute. You can change the auto-shut off interval (see
Set the interval for turning the screen off automatically).
If you restart your phone, wireless services, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, are
automatically turned on if they were on before the restart. However, if the
phone can’t determine if a wireless service was on before the restart, that
service does not automatically turn on (see Turn the phone on/off).
If the problem persists and you’re using third-party applications, see
Third-party applications for additional suggestions.
• The Bluetooth feature is turned on (see Turn the Bluetooth feature on/off).
• Your Bluetooth hands-free device is charged and turned on.
• You have already formed a partnership between your phone and your
hands-free device, and the hands-free device appears in the Devices list
(see Connect with a paired device).
• Your phone is within range of the hands-free device. Bluetooth range is up
to 30 feet (10 meters) in optimum environmental conditions, which
include the absence of obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic
equipment, and other factors.
• You are away from other devices using the 2.4GHz radio frequency, such
as cordless phones and microwaves. If this is impossible, move the phone
closer to the hands-free device.
• The hands-free device is compatible with your phone. Go to palm.com/

documentation that came with your hands-free device or the
manufacturer’s website for feature-compatibility information specific to

Synchronization
What is synchronization?
Anytime you are in Email, Calendar, or Contacts, you can set up a
relationship to wirelessly sync data with selected service providers—for
example, Google or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync® (EAS—check to see if
your company supports this). Sync means that if you enter, change, or delete
information in one location, the change automatically shows up in the other
location. So if you enter a Google contact in the Contacts application on
your phone, the contact appears in your online Google contacts—no need
to enter it twice.
You must already have an account with a service provider before you can set
it up on your phone.
How do I set up synchronization with an online account?
The first time you open Email, Contacts, or Calendar, you are given the
option to enter settings for one or more online accounts (see Set up email,
Use Contacts for the first time, or Use Calendar for the first time). For any
account, you need to enter the settings in only one of these applications to
synchronize data for all three.
You can add additional accounts at any time using the preferences in any of
these applications (see Set email preferences, Customize Contacts, or
Customize Calendar).
You can also set up the Messaging application to work with an online
instant messaging (IM) account (see Set up an instant messaging (IM)
account), and the Photos application to work with an online pictures
account such as Facebook or Photobucket (see Set up an online pictures
account on your phone).
NOTE See Online accounts available for webOS phones for the current list of
online accounts that synchronize your info and those that do a one-way
transfer of info either from the web to your phone, or from your phone to the
web.
I don’t want to sync calendar or contact information with my
online account—just email
For most online account providers that sync with more than one app—for
example, Google—if you do not want to sync an application with that
provider’s online account, you can remove that account from within the
application. The online account continues to sync with any other related
applications.
IMPORTANT You cannot remove individual Exchange account applications.
If you remove your Exchange account from one application, sync stops with all
your Exchange apps.

I want to sync with Outlook or Palm Desktop software on my
computer
By default, your Pixi Plus phone does not support synchronization with Palm
Desktop software or Outlook on your desktop computer. Your Pixi Plus
phone, however, gives you options for 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 your data
is stored on your phone.
If you have data from a Palm smartphone in Outlook or Palm Desktop
software, you can do a one-time, one-way export of the data from the
desktop application to your phone (see How do I get data off my
computer?). You can assign this data to sync with an online account. You
can also assign it to the Palm profile account. Data in this account is backed
up to your Palm profile daily, so you can retrieve it if you need to reset your
phone. But it is not a true sync because you cannot change your Palm profile
data anywhere except on your phone.
If your desktop Outlook synchronizes with an Exchange server using
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, you cannot do a one-way export of that
Outlook data to your phone. However, you can synchronize the Outlook
data wirelessly with your phone through your Exchange account.
TIP A number of third-party applications (sold separately) are available that
let you synchronize data on your Pixi Plus phone with a desktop application.

Check with your system administrator to obtain or verify the name of the
mail server that offers you wireless access to the corporate mail system.
If you cannot obtain the name of this server (some companies do not give it
out, because they do not want wireless access to their servers), you cannot
synchronize with your Exchange ActiveSync account.
If your company requires you to change your password for accessing your
Exchange ActiveSync account, you must change the password on your
phone (see Change account login settings).

Chapter 11 : Troubleshooting
Email
I have problems using my account
Occasionally you may experience problems using an email account after
you set it up. If you followed the account setup procedure (see Set up email)
and are experiencing problems using the account, verify that the account
complies with your email provider’s requirements:
• Verify both your password and your username for your email account.
• If you changed your password in an online email account, you must
change the password on your phone (see Change account login settings).
• Some wireless service providers have requirements specific to their
service. Check with Verizon Wireless to find out whether any
provider-specific requirements exist.
• Make sure your ISP or email provider allows you to access email on a
phone. (Some providers do not offer this option at all; other providers
require an account upgrade for you to access email on a phone.)
• Email provider settings may change. If your email account was working
but you are currently experiencing problems, check with your email
provider to find out whether any of the account settings have changed.
I have problems sending and receiving email
• Make sure your phone is on and that your data connection to your mail
server or email service provider has not been interrupted (see Turn the
phone on/off).
• Short periods of time when email is unavailable are common, due to
server problems or poor wireless coverage. If you have problems sending
or receiving mail for an extended period of time, check with your ISP or
email service provider to verify that the service is working properly, and
check with Verizon Wireless for outage information in your area.
I have problems sending email (IMAP and POP accounts)
If you are able to receive email messages but cannot send them, try the
following:
• Turn on authentication (see Set up email when automatic setup fails).
Many service providers require authenticated access, or ESMTP, to use
their SMTP servers for outgoing mail.
• Enter the name of a different outgoing mail server for sending mail (see
Set up email when automatic setup fails). Many ISPs, such as cable
companies, require that you have an Internet connection to their network
to send email through their servers. In this case, you can almost always
receive email from these accounts, but if you want to send email, you
must send it through another server. Check with your email service
provider for the correct outgoing mail server name.
After I receive messages, older messages disappear from my
Inbox
When email sync takes place, by default, the last three days’ worth of email
messages is downloaded from your mail server to your Inbox. All messages
older than three days are removed from your Inbox; they are not deleted on
the server, however.
You can change the setting to download only one or two days’ worth of
messages. If you select one of these options, any messages older than one
or two days are deleted from your Inbox. You can also change the setting to
download all messages regardless of the date, in which case all messages
continue to appear in your Inbox (see Enter advanced account settings).
Messaging
I can’t send or receive text or multimedia messages
• Make sure that your phone is on (see Turn the phone on/off).
Chapter 11 : Troubleshooting
167
• For multimedia messages, do the following:
• Contact Verizon Wireless to verify that messaging services have
been correctly activated on your phone, and that they are available
at your location. (Verizon Wireless should be able to tell you if
messaging services have been experiencing transmission delays.)
• Check to see if you have data services enabled. Open Phone
,
open the application menu, and tap Preferences. Under Network,
make sure Data Usage is set to On.
• If you are in roaming coverage, check to see if you have data
roaming enabled. Open Phone
, open the application menu, and
tap Preferences. Under Network, tap Data Roaming and tap
Enabled.
• If possible, contact the recipient of the message, and make sure the
receiving device can handle the type of message you’re sending.
• If a message arrives but does not display a notification, restart your phone
(see Restart your phone).
• If you are in roaming coverage, check to see if you have data roaming
enabled. Open Phone
, open the application menu, and tap
Preferences. Under Network, tap Data Roaming and tap Enabled.
• Turn off your phone and turn it on again (see Turn the phone on/off).
• Restart your phone (see Restart your phone).
• Contact Verizon Wireless to verify that your data plan has been correctly
activated. Verizon Wireless should also be able to tell you if there are any
outages in your location.

Make sure you have Internet access:
• If you’re still having trouble, the page may contain elements that are
not supported by the browser, such as Flash, Shockwave, VBScript,
WML script, and other plug-ins.

Some websites redirect simple web addresses given to the public to
actual web addresses that are more complex (for example, if you enter
the address www.palm.com/support, it may actually go to the web
address http://www.palm.com/us/support). If your phone’s browser
can’t follow the redirect, enter the web address in a desktop browser
and read the actual web address in the address bar. Then enter the
actual address in your phone’s browser.
An image or map is too small on my screen
Your phone supports EVDO, 1xRTT, and Wi-Fi wireless data networks.

A secure site refuses to permit a transaction
Some websites don’t support certain browsers for transactions. Contact the
site’s webmaster to make sure the site allows transactions using your
phone’s web browser.
Calendar and Contacts
I haven’t entered any contacts or calendar events on my phone,
but when I open those apps, I see entries
The entries you see displayed in Calendar or Contacts have been
downloaded to your phone from one of your online accounts such as
Google or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Anytime you are in Email,
Calendar, or Contacts, you can set up a relationship to wirelessly sync data
with one of these accounts. And after you enter the account settings in just
one of these apps, any information you have online is automatically
downloaded to all three—so if you set up a Gmail account in Email but also
have a Google calendar, your phone’s calendar automatically displays events
entered in your Google calendar.
You can remove an online account from an application so that that app no
longer syncs with that account (see Stop synchronization of Contacts with
an online account, Stop synchronization of Calendar with an online account,
or Delete an email account).
My personal and work contact and calendar information is
getting merged into a single view—I’d rather keep them
separate
The Palm® Synergy™ feature on your 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. Even though the information is
visible in one view, the sources of that information are kept separate.
In Calendar, to see events from just one calendar, tap the word All in the
upper-right corner of the screen and pick the account you want to see. See
Change the Calendar display.
In Contacts, the list view shows all contacts from all accounts. You can,
however, see what data comes from which account by opening the contact
and tapping Edit. If you want to unlink contacts, see Unlink a contact.
In Email, you can turn off the smart folder for All Inboxes (see Set email
preferences). Then make the inboxes of your individual accounts favorites so
that they're always easy to see in Account List view (see Add a folder as a
favorite).
I started entering a contact’s name in universal search, but I’m
not seeing the person in the results
• You need to enter at least two letters in universal search before contact
matches are returned.
• If the contact is a linked contact, universal search searches on the primary
profile only. Scroll through the contact match results to make sure that
universal search did not return a different match for your contact from the
one you were expecting.
For example, suppose you're searching for your friend Ed Smith’s contact
info. You have three contact entries for Ed that are linked, and the primary
entry happens to be the one listed by Ed’s screen name, ScubaEd. Typing
es is not going to find Ed’s contact; you have to type scu. To correct this,
make the contact listing Ed’s real name the primary contact (see Link a
contact).
Camera
Here are some tips for taking good pictures with the camera:
• Clean the camera’s lens with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Take pictures in bright lighting conditions. Low-light images may be
grainy, due to the sensitivity of the camera.
Chapter 11 : Troubleshooting
169
• Hold the phone as still as possible. Try supporting your picture-taking arm
up against your body or a stationary object (such as a wall).
• Keep the subject of the pictures still. Exposure time is longer with lower
light levels, so you may see a blur.
• For best results, verify that you have the brightest light source coming
from behind you, lighting the subject’s face. Avoid taking indoor pictures
with the subject in front of a window or light. If the light is behind the
subject, try moving closer to the subject and enabling the flash.
• Make sure the subject is at least 18 inches (0.5 meter) away from the
camera to ensure good focus.
Amazon MP3
I bought a song from Amazon MP3, but it isn’t showing up on
my phone
Occasionally, the download process may be interrupted, so a song you
purchased may not be successfully downloaded to your phone. To confirm
the purchase and download of a song, log in to your Amazon account from
your computer. If the song shows up there as purchased and downloaded,
contact Amazon support and let them know you never received your song.
I copied files from my computer, but I can’t see or play them on
my phone
When you connect your phone to your computer in USB Drive mode, you
can copy any file onto your phone. However, each media application on
your phone—Photos, Music, and Videos—can display or play files in certain
file formats only. If your media file is in an unsupported format, you can’t use
it on your phone.
For a list of supported photo types, see Photos. For a list of supported music
file types, see Music. For a list of supported video file types, see Videos.
When I open the drive folder representing my phone from my
computer, I see subfolders. Do I need to move my files into
these folders?
The default folders are there to help you organize files you copy to and from
your computer. But you can copy files from your computer into any folder
you want—you can create your own folders, or just drag your files to the top
level of the drive. As long as the file is in a supported format, your phone can
detect and open it.
NOTE If you move a music file into the ringtones folder, the Music
application cannot find it.
Transferring information from your computer
I bought a song through Amazon MP3 and want to transfer it
to my computer
You can copy music files on your phone to your computer for use with a
desktop music player. For instructions, see Copy files between your phone
and your computer.
Backing up and restoring data
I need to reset my phone but don’t understand the difference
between a partial erase and a full erase
Both a partial erase and a full erase delete all personal information, such as
events, contacts, and tasks, as well as applications you have added, such as
third-party software, on your phone. In addition, a full erase deletes all files
170
Chapter 11 : Troubleshooting
stored in the USB drive of your phone, which includes all pictures, videos,
music files, documents, PDF files, and ringtones.
For more information, see Erase data and reset your phone.
How do I get my data back after a full or partial erase?
After a full or a partial erase, on your phone, enter your existing Palm profile
email address, and password—don’t create a new one! When you do this, all
data that has been backed up to your profile—contacts, calendar events, and
tasks, as well as apps you bought through App Catalog—is restored to your
phone. To restore information about your online accounts to your phone,
simply enter the password for each account when prompted after the
erase—synchronization begins again.
A full erase deletes everything deleted by a partial erase, plus everything you
stored in your phone’s USB drive (pictures, videos, music, documents, PDF
files, ringtones, and so on). You need to have copies of those files available
elsewhere if you want to restore them to your phone. For example, you can
save copies on your computer and then transfer them back to your phone
(see Copy files between your phone and your computer).
I want to do a full erase, but the screen is cracked or doesn’t
respond to taps
If you can’t do a full erase using the screen, you can use a keyboard shortcut.
Press and hold Option + Sym
+ power
.
My bookmarks were restored, but the thumbnail icon is not
displaying
Web bookmarks are part of the data backed up to your Palm profile. After a
partial or full erase, a bookmark is restored with a generic thumbnail icon.
After you revisit the page for which you created the bookmark, a thumbnail
icon is restored.
Updates
I dismissed a system update notification, and now I don’t know
how to get the update on my phone
If you have a phone network connection or a Wi-Fi connection and the
battery has at least a 30% charge, you can start the update yourself: Open
Updates
. Your phone checks for the availability of the update, and if one
is available, tap Download Now. The download happens in the
background, so you can continue to use your phone until the actual
installation takes over.
After the update has finished being downloaded, tap Install Now to install
the update on your phone.
My phone froze while I was downloading or installing a system
update
If this happens, you can use webOS DoctorTM to restore your phone and
install the system update from your computer using the USB cable. On your
computer, go to palm.com/support to download webOS Doctor.

Radio Frequency (RF) Safety Exposure
General statement on Radio Frequency (RF) energy: Your phone contains a transmitter and
a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone
transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP
and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
In order to certify this unit for sale to the public, this unit has been tested for RF exposure
compliance at a qualified test laboratory and found to comply with the regulations regarding
exposure to RF Energy under the recommendations of the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are preformed in positions and locations
as required by the FCC and IC for each model.
Body worn operation: Important safety information regarding radio frequency (RF) radiation
exposure: To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a
minimum of 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) separation from the body. Failure to observe these instructions
could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields: For individuals concerned about limiting
their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following
advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might
choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using
“hands-free” devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page who.int/
mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/index.html WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this
device while operating is typically below that indicated below. This is due to automatic changes
to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to
communicate with the network.
The SAR limit for mobile devices set by FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue for
the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities—hands, wrists,
ankles, and feet).
The highest reported SAR values of the Palm® Pixi™ Plus phone are:
Table 1.
Maximum scaled SAR values (W/kg) FCC
Head
1.47
Body
0.730
In order to comply with FCC and IC RF exposure safety guidelines, users MUST use one of the
following types of body-worn accessories:
1 A Palm brand body-worn accessory that has been tested for (specific absorption rate) SAR
compliance and is intended for use with this product.
2 An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc.) and provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm (0.6
in.) of separation between the user’s body and the unit.
®
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact with the body (i.e., on the
lap or in a breast pocket). Such use will likely exceed the FCC RF safety exposure limits. See
fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety for more information on RF exposure safety.

Regulatory and Safety Information
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Device
Your device has been tested for hearing aid compatibility. Your Palm® Pixi™ Plus phone has an
M4/T4 rating. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product, please
refer to palm.com/hacverizon-pixiplus.
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 s, 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.
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.
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 hearing aid. Add the
rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers the best use.
• Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially on a hard
surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
• Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
• Do not handle a damaged or leaking Lithium-Ion (LI-ion) battery as you can be burned.
• Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
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.
Based on DOT rules, spare batteries must not be transported in checked luggage on
commercial flights. Spare batteries can only be transported in carry-on luggage. For more
information: http://safetravel.dot.gov/whats_new_batteries.html.
Palm further suggest 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 Palm 30-day
Risk-Free Guarantee, you may return the device within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, and
you will only be responsible for charges based on your actual usage.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Device
To further minimize interference:
• Set the phone's screen and keyboard backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval.
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
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. Use only manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found at Carrier Stores or
through your device’s manufacturer. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way
to ensure they are genuine and safe.
• Move the phone around to find the point with the least interference.
• In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F to
113° F (0° C to 45° C).
For more information, please go to the FCC’s Consumer Alert on accessibility of digital wireless
phones at fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/hac_wireless.html.

Regulatory and Safety Information
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres: Turn off your phone when you are in any areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, such as fueling areas (gas or petrol stations, below deck on
boats), storage facilities for fuel or chemicals, blasting areas and areas near electrical blasting
caps, and areas where there are chemicals or particles (such as metal powders, grains, and
dust) in the air.
Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices: Most but not all electronic
equipment is shielded from RF signals and certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your phone.
Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 15 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by the recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should do the following:
• ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when
the phone is turned ON.
• Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn the phone OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place.
Other Medical Devices, Hospitals: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in
health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals
or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Repetitive Motion Injuries: When using the keyboard or playing games on your phone, you
may experience discomfort in your neck, shoulders, hands, arms, or other parts of the body. To
avoid any injury, such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorder,
make sure to take necessary breaks from use, take longer rests (such as several hours) if
discomfort or tiring begins, and see a doctor if discomfort persists. To minimize the risk of
Repetitive Motion Injuries, when texting or playing games with your phone:
• Do not grip the phone too tightly.
• Press the buttons lightly.
• Make use of the special features in the handset which minimize the number of buttons which
have to be pressed, such as message templates and predictive text.
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.
Blackouts and Seizures: Blinking lights, such as those experienced with television or playing
video games, may cause some people to experience blackout or seizure, even if never
experienced before. In the event a phone user should experience any disorientation, loss of
awareness, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, or other involuntary movements, stop use
immediately and consult a doctor. Individuals with personal or family history of such events
should consult a doctor before using the device. To limit the possibility of such symptoms,
wherever possible every hour take a minimum break of 15 minutes, use in a well lighted area,
view the screen from the farthest distance, and avoid exposure to blinking lights if you are tired.
Caution: Avoid Potential Hearing Loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable
hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as
portable music players and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may
lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including
headsets, ear buds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has
also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to
sound, and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other
potential hearing problems varies. The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device
varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings, and the
headphones. You should follow some common sense recommendations when using any
portable audio device:
• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear
adequately.
• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near
you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
Operating Machinery: Do not use your phone while operating machinery. Full attention must
be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce the risk of an accident.
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out
background environmental noise.
Aircraft: While in aircraft, follow all instructions regarding the operation of your phone. Use of
your phone while on board an aircraft must be done in accordance and in compliance with
airline instructions and regulations.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before
your hearing could be affected.
Vehicles with Air Bags: Your phone should not be placed in a position that would affect the
operation of air bag deployment or in a position that, should the air bag inflate, could propel the
phone. Air bags will inflate with great force and care should be taken to protect within a vehicle
that has air bags. Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Store the phone safely before driving the vehicle.
Hearing Aids: People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering
noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend
on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing the
separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Small Children: Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach of small children
or allow them to play with it. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally
damage the phone. Your phone contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury
or which could become detached and create a choking hazard.
Keep the device away from the abdomens of pregnant women and adolescents, particularly
when using the device hands-free.
To reduce exposure to radiation, use your device in good reception areas, as indicated by the
bars on your phone, at least 3 to 4 bars.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that
might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to
sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your
ears, hear muffled speech, or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to
your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Driving Safety
Driving Safety Tips Overview
Always obey all laws and regulations on the use of the phone in your driving area.
Safety–Your most important call. The Wireless Industry reminds you to use your phone safely
when driving.
1 Get to know your phone and its features, such as speed-dial and redial.
2 Use a hands-free device where it is allowed. In some areas, you may not use your phone
while driving even with a hands-free accessory.
3 Position your phone within easy reach.
4 Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.
5 Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, read/write e-mail, or surf the Internet while
driving.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may divert your attention from
the road.
8 Dial your national emergency number to report serious emergencies. This is a free call from
your phone.
9 Use your phone to help others in emergencies.
10 Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless number when necessary.
Driving Safety Tip Details
1 Get to know your phone and its features such as speed-dial and redial. Carefully read your
instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable features most phone models
offer, including automatic redial and memory dial. Also, work to memorize the phone
keyboard so you can use the speed-dial function without taking your attention off the road.
2 Use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free phone accessories are readily available
today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your phone or a speaker
accessory, take advantage of these devices. If driving while using a phone is permitted in
your area, we recommend using a phone headset or a hands-free car kit (sold separately).
However, be aware that use of a headset that covers both ears impairs your ability to hear
other sounds. Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle may
create a serious hazard to you and/or others, and may be illegal. If you must use a stereo
headset while driving, place a speaker in only one ear. Leave the other ear free to hear
outside noises, and do so only if it is legal and you can do so safely.
3 Make sure you place your phone within easy reach and where you can grab it without
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let
your voicemail answer it for you.
4 Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person you
are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5 Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, read/write e-mail, or surf the internet while
driving. If you are reading an address book or business card while driving a car, or writing a
to-do list, then you are not watching where you are going. It's common sense. Do not get
caught in a dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention
to the road or nearby vehicles.
6 Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your trip, or attempt to schedule
your calls with times you may be temporarily stopped or otherwise stationary. But if you
need to dial while driving, follow this simple tip: dial only a few numbers, check the road and
your mirrors, then continue.
7 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations and driving do not mix—they are distracting and even dangerous
when you are behind the wheel. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and
if necessary, suspend phone conversations which have the potential to divert your attention
from the road.
8 Use your phone to call for help. Your phone is one of the greatest tools you can own to
protect yourself and your family in dangerous situations—with your phone at your side, help
is only three numbers away. Dial your national emergency number in the case of fire, traffic
accident, road hazard, or medical emergencies. Remember, your national emergency
number is a free call on your phone.
9 Use your phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress,
or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call your national emergency number,
as you would want others to do for you.
10 Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when
necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention, but are not
urgent enough to merit a call to your national emergency number. But you can still use your
phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken
traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to
be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
General Operation
Prolonged Views of Screen: If you are driving, do not access any function requiring a
prolonged view of the screen. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a
function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen
may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical
time.
Volume Setting: Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you
can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear
these sounds could cause an accident.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: The Device Software is only an aid. Make your driving decisions
based on your observations of local conditions and existing traffic regulations. The Device
Software is not a substitute for your personal judgment.
Hands-Free Capability
All CTIA Certified portable products provide the consumer with a toll-free number for the
purchase of a compatible hands-free device, 1-800-881-7256.
ESD Safety
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 phone, 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 phone,
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.
Regulatory and Safety Information
183
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 phone to
your computer, placing the phone in a docking station, 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.
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.
