Get started_
All you need to know to get going.
Activate Your Phone
• If you purchased your phone at a
Sprint Store, it is probably activated and ready to use.
• If you received your phone in the mail and it is a new Sprint account or a new phone number, your phone activates automatically after you complete setup (see p. 6).
• If you received your phone in the mail and you are switching the number from a previous Sprint phone, do not turn on your new phone yet. Wait until your old phone is deactivated. Go to sprint.com/activate on your computer.
Follow the instructions to activate the number on your new phone.
If you have any problems with activation, contact Sprint Customer Service at
1-888-211-4727 from another phone.

Turn On Your Phone
Activate your phone before you turn it on (see previous page). Then press and hold the power button until you see the
Palm logo. Wait for setup to start (please be patient).
Power button
Use of this device requires providing a valid email address, mobile phone number, and related information for account setup and activation. A data plan is also required. An unlimited usage data plan is strongly recommended or additional data charges may apply.

Set Up Your Phone
To use your phone, you must agree to
Palm’s terms and conditions, and then create a Palm profile: Enter a working email address and create a password.
Setting up a Palm profile is different from setting up email. To set up email, see p. 15.
Why do I need a Palm profile?
A Palm profile gives you access to services like software updates, daily backup of your data, and remote erase of your data should your phone be lost or stolen.
NOTE: Do you have a Palm profile from a phone that you no longer use? Just sign in to your existing profile. All info associated with your profile is downloaded to your new phone.

Set Up Contacts &
Calendar to Sync
To wirelessly sync Contacts and
Calendar info, set up online accounts with providers like Google and Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync.
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.
• Google: Go to gmail.com.
• Exchange: Check with your company’s IT department.
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.
7
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 > 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 >
Preferences & Accounts > 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 as well, like Memos. This info is backed up daily, but you can access this info only on your phone. Unlike info stored with Google and other online accounts, there’s no way to see Palm profile account info on your computer.
8
Transfer Info to
Your Phone
On your computer, look for an email from
Palm at the address you used to create your Palm profile. Finish setting up your profile on your computer; then click the link that takes you to a website
(palm.com/migrate-pixi) that explains 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 and standalone Outlook
®
(Outlook that doesn’t sync with an Exchange server).
• Mac: iCal and Address Book.
Where do I transfer the info to?
Pick the account—for example, your
Google, Exchange, or Palm profile account—to receive the info you exported from your computer. We recommend that you transfer your info to an online account (see p. 7).

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 a person show up in a single conversation view, whether they are text, multimedia, or instant messages.
1 7
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.
1 8
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.
