Set up your phone

To use your phone, you must agree to

Palm’s terms and conditions and create a Palm profile. Be sure to write down the valid email address and the password that you use to create your profile; you will need them later.

Benefits of a Palm profile include software updates, daily backup of info associated with your profile, and remote erase of your info should your phone be lost or stolen.

NOTE: Do you have a Palm profile from a phone that you no longer use? During setup, just sign in to your existing profile when prompted. All info associated with your profile is downloaded to your new phone. If you are still using your other phone, however, you should create a new profile for your new phone—you can’t use the same profile on two phones at the same time.

Set up Contacts & Calendar to sync

To wirelessly sync Contacts and Calendar info, set up online accounts with providers like Google and Microsoft Exchange.

If you don’t already have an account with a service provider, you must create one before you set up the account on your phone. For example:

• Google: Go to gmail.com.

• Exchange: Check with your company’s

IT department.

For the full list of available online sync accounts, see the online accounts table at the back of the User Guide .

After you create an online account, set the account on your phone. See p. 7.

A sync relationship you set up in one app is automatically set up in other apps. For example, by setting up a Gmail email account, your phone is also set to sync

Google Contacts, Calendar, and IM.

Set up accounts on your phone

The first time you open Contacts, Calendar, and Messaging, you see a setup screen that appears only once:

Tap Add an Account > tap an account > enter username and password > Sign In .

Just want to jump to your contacts or calendar, or send a message? Tap

Done .

Email: See p. 15.

Later, set up accounts this way: Open the menu by tapping the app name in the upper-left corner of the screen >

& Accounts >

Preferences

Add An Account .

Your Palm profile also has an account associated with it. You can use it for

Contacts and Calendar info, and for other kinds of info, like Memos. This info is backed up daily on Palm’s servers, but you can access it only on your phone.

Transfer info to your phone

On your computer, look for an email from

Palm at the address you used to create your Palm profile. Click the link that takes you to a website (palm.com/migrate-pre) about your data transfer options.

What kinds of info can I transfer?

Contacts, calendar info, tasks, and memos/notes.

Where can I export info from?

• Windows: Palm ® Desktop v.6.2.

Standalone Outlook 2003 (XP only) or 2007. You cannot export info from

Outlook if you sync Outlook with an

Exchange server.

•

Where do I transfer the info to?

On your phone, pick the account—for example, your Google, Exchange, or Palm profile account—to receive the info you exported. We recommend that you transfer your info to an online account that syncs (see pp. 6–7). For other solutions, see palm.com/sync-solutions.

Merged views

The Palm ® Synergy™ feature displays data from several sources in a single view on your phone, but keeps the sources of your data separate.

Let’s say you use Google Calendar for your personal appointments and your company’s

Outlook Calendar for business appointments.

Your phone’s Calendar application can display appointments from both calendars in a single view.

Likewise, if you set up multiple email accounts, the Email application lets you display the messages from all your account inboxes in a single view.

And in Messaging, all your messages with the same person show up in a single conversation view, whether they are text, multimedia, or instant messages.

Linked contacts

The Contacts application also offers a merged view—all your contacts from all your accounts appear in a single list. But more than that, Contacts lets you see all your information for a person in a single view—even if that information comes from multiple sources.

For example, let’s say you have a work contact in Exchange and a personal contact for the same person in Google contacts. Contacts recognizes the similarity and automatically links the two contacts so that you can see all the information in one place. You can also manually link and unlink contacts.

Notifications

Notifications at the bottom of the screen alert you to voicemail, incoming messages, upcoming appointments, and more. For some notifications, tap the notification to act on it. For others, such as Calendar reminders, the notification gives you options such as opening the appointment or dismissing the notification.

If you do not act on a notification after a few seconds, it becomes an icon in the lower-right portion of the screen. Tap the icon area to display your notifications.

Throw a notification off the side of the screen to dismiss it.
