Highlighting and Selecting Items  
On most screens, one item—a button, a list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by default.  
The highlight identifies which item is affected by your next action. Use the 5-way to move  
the highlight from one item to another before opening or selecting it.  
The highlight can take one of two forms, depending on what is highlighted:  
Border glow: This rectangular border highlights items such as  
an onscreen button (OK, Dismiss, or Hide), a check box, an  
option, or a Web link.  
Reverse type (light text on a dark background): This  
highlights items such as a phone number, an email  
address, text, or an item in a list.  
After highlighting an item with the 5-way, you can select  
or activate it by pressing Center or by tapping the item with the stylus.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device  
Do Not Rely on Your Device’s Phone for Emergency Calls  
Wireless phones such as the one on your Treo device operate using radio signals, which  
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon  
any wireless phone for essential communication (for example, medical emergencies).  
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network  
services and/or phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider for details.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is  
prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety  
always comes first.  
Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or call the  
Sprint PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by entering #222 on your  
Treo700wx smart device.  
Tip:  
Following Safety Guidelines  
To operate your device safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a  
given area. Turn your device’s phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may  
cause interference or danger.  
Using Your Device’s Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF) signals. However,  
RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating  
systems and/or entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or  
their representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external  
Legal  
103  
 
RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been  
added to your vehicle.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and  
hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.  
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission  
before using the phone near medical equipment.  
Note:  
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible interference with  
aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to  
have permission from a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.  
To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the  
plane is in the air.  
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a blasting area or  
in other areas with signs indicating that two-way radios should be turned off. Construction  
crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.  
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere.  
Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an  
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not  
always, clearly marked. They include:  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal  
powders.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
104  
Legal  
Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or explosives in the  
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.  
Note:  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device  
Your Treo device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it; they could hurt  
themselves and others, damage the device and/or its phone, or make calls that increase  
your Sprint PCS invoice.  
Legal  
105  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device  
Your Treo™ 700wx smart device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)  
requirements. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product,  
please go to www.palm.com/treoHAC.  
Your device has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless  
phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may  
detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune  
than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference  
they generate.  
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their wireless phones, to  
assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing  
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated will have an “M3” or  
“M4” rating on the box. Your Treo700wx smart device phone has an M3 rating.  
Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate less  
interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.  
Note:  
The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation between your phone and a  
hearing aid device. Results will vary depending on the level of immunity of your hearing  
device and degree of your hearing loss.  
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 healthcare professional for the rating of your  
aids. Most new hearing aids have at least an M2 immunity level. Add the “M” ratings of  
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability:  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.  
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
106  
Legal  
 
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of  
six for “best use.”  
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled M3  
or M4) while in the store to find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.  
Should you experience interference after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the  
store. With the Sprint 14 Day Risk Free Guarantee you may return the phone within 14 days  
of purchase for a full refund.  
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With Your Treo 700wx Smart Device  
To further minimize interference:  
There is usually less interference on the microphone setting than on the telecoil setting.  
Set the phone’s screen and keyboard backlight settings to ensure the minimum time  
interval. See the Treo 700wx User Guide guide for instructions.  
Position the phone so that the antenna is farthest from your hearing aid.  
Move the phone around to find the point with the least interference.  
Legal  
107  
Caring for the Battery  
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. Sprint is not aware of similar problems with Sprint PCS Treo  
devices resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by Sprint or  
the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint- or manufacturer-approved batteries  
and accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your device’s manufacturer, or call 1-  
866-343-1114 to order. They’re also available at www.sprint.com — click the Wireless  
link under Personal, and then click Accessories under Shop the PCS Store Online. Buying  
the right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F  
to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).  
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas such as the  
bathroom.  
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.  
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.  
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. It  
can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.  
108  
Legal  
 
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to  
follow these storage rules:  
Less than one month:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)  
More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)  
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries  
To avoid being burned, do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery.  
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest Sprint authorized  
service center.  
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of  
batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.  
Legal  
109  
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and  
transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your  
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital  
mode.  
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety  
The design of your Sprint PCS Treo device complies with updated NCRP standards described  
below.  
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American  
National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety  
levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers  
and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed  
this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In  
August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE  
standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and  
Measurements (NCRP).  
Body-Worn Operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your  
body, use the Sprint-supplied or -approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn  
accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 7/16 inch  
(1.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov.  
110  
Legal  
 
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones  
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the  
head of a user of a wireless handset.  
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring, and calculation  
process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested  
at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a  
phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a  
variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design, and other  
factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines.  
Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.  
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of  
safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not  
mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are  
considered safe for use by the public.  
The highest reported (FCC) SAR values of the Treo™ 700wx smart device by Palm are:  
Maximum SAR Values

Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Device  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the  
device, so you should take steps to avoid such an occurrence.  
Description of ESD  
Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the  
surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than  
annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up  
electrons on your body, you may get a shock—the discharge event—when you touch a  
metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.  
ESD-Susceptible Equipment  
Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices,  
take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm® device, from  
ESD harm. While Palm has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD  
unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your  
equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in  
anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you  
carry with you, such as your device, build up ESD in a unique way because the static  
electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then,  
when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event  
can occur.  
112  
Legal  
         
Precautions Against ESD  
Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic  
devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The  
recommendation from Palm is that you take this precaution before connecting your device  
to your computer, placing the device in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. You  
can do this in many ways, including the following:  
Ground yourself when you’re holding your wireless 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.)
