What do I need to get started?
This guide helps you set up your Treo 680 and quickly learn to use it. To get started, you need all the items that came in the
Treo 680 box (see What’s in the box? ), plus
the following:
•
A SIM card. If you do not already have a
SIM card and your smartphone box did
not contain a SIM card, you need to contact your wireless service provider to get one. Be sure to sign up for a mobile account with data services. To use your smartphone on your wireless service provider’s network, the SIM
•
•
• card must be inserted into your smartphone. Without a SIM card, you can only make emergency calls, such as
112 or 911.
You must be in a location where you are within coverage of your wireless service provider’s network.
An electrical outlet
The computer with which you want to synchronize your personal information
NOTE To use email, web browsing, and multimedia messaging, your wireless service provider plan must include data services. Please contact your wireless service provider for details about your data service options.
