TIP Some third-party utilities allow you to back
up your old device’s information onto an
expansion card and then transfer the info to
your Treo 755P smartphone. We do not
recommend this method because any
incompatible applications are also transferred
to your smartphone.

Calculate how much space your apps
and info occupy on your previous Palm
OS device:

If the space occupied on your previous
device is 60MB or less, then go to
step 3. If the space occupied is greater
than 60MB, then do any of the following
to reduce the storage space you’re
using before you go to the next step:
• From Applications View, open the
menus.
• Select Info on the App menu.
• At the bottom of the screen, select
Size.
• Delete any third-party applications
that you no longer use.
• Look at the numbers on the Free
Space line and subtract the number
on the left from the number on the
right to calculate the space used. For
example, on the device shown here,
22.4 – 17.5 = 4.9. This means that
4.9MB of space is occupied on this
device.
• Move large files, such as eBooks and
images, to an expansion card.
• Move third-party applications to an
expansion card.
• Purge old info in applications such as
Calendar (Date Book), Tasks (To Do),
and email. Refer to the
documentation that came with your
previous device for instructions on
these items.

Moving around on your
smartphone
Have you ever been to a new city and felt a bit lost until you
figured out that the numbered streets run north/south and the
avenues run east/west? Learning to move around on your
smartphone is similar. Most Palm OS® applications use the
same set of controls. So once you learn how to use these
controls on your Palm® Treo™ 755P smartphone, you’ll be
driving all over town and you won’t even need a map.

TIP Some third-party applications may not
work with the 5-way navigator, and you must

DID YOU KNOW? In this guide, we use arrow
icons to indicate directions on the 5-way.
These are different from any onscreen arrows

The behavior of the 5-way for list screens

Highlighting text
You can use the stylus to highlight text on
the screen.
•
Tap and drag the stylus across the text
you want to highlight.
•
•
To highlight a word, double-tap it.
To highlight a paragraph, triple-tap it.
•

number, text, an email address, a web
link, or an item in a list is highlighted,
the item is displayed as white text
against a colored background. Examples
of lists include the Contacts list, the
Messaging Inbox, and the Tasks list.
Accessing command buttons
In most applications, command buttons
such as New, OK, and Details appear at the
bottom of the screen. In many cases, you
can jump directly to these buttons instead
of scrolling to them.
•
From a list screen, such as the Contacts
list or Memos list, press Right to
jump to the first button.
After highlighting an item, you can select or
activate it by pressing Center

The Phone application is your home base for making and
receiving calls and for storing info about the people you need to
stay in touch with.
You can effectively manage multiple calls, such as sending text
messages to ignored calls, swapping between calls, and
creating three-way conference calls. Your Palm® Treo™ 755P
smartphone helps you perform all these tasks with ease.
You can do more than manage your phone calls, too. You can
send text messages, open applications, go to your favorite web

your smartphone. The longer the passkey,
the more difficult it is for the passkey to be
deciphered.

When the Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
setting is on, your smartphone sends the
audio from your phone calls to the telecoil
rather than to the microphone of your
hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls
much better because volume is increased
and background noise and feedback are
diminished. The HAC setting improves only
the calls you listen to through the earpiece.
It does not affect calls heard on the
speakerphone or with a car kit or headset.
HAC requires extra battery power, so watch
your battery consumption when it's turned
on.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN You must activate
data services on your wireless service
provider account before you can use email
on your smartphone.
Which application
should I use?
Your smartphone includes the VersaMail®
application (called Email in Applications
View), which you can use to access your
corporate, personal, and fee-based Internet
email. You can also access web-based
email, like Yahoo! Mail or Hotmail, from the
web browser on your smartphone.
The VersaMail®
application
Before you can use the VersaMail
application, you need to enter your email
account settings. If you have multiple email
accounts, you must enter settings for each
email account.
NOTE Your wireless service provider may
offer additional email applications that are
compatible with your Treo 755P
smartphone. Contact your wireless service
provider’s customer service department for
more info.
You can find additional information on
using and customizing the VersaMail
application in the User Guide for the
go.palm.com/treo755p/.
TIP An email application is not an email
provider. It works with an account from a
provider to transfer messages to
your smartphone.
NOTE The instructions in this section
apply only to the version of VersaMail that
came with your smartphone. If you
upgrade to a newer version of VersaMail,
please refer to the instructions included
with that version.
KEY TERM Email provider The service you
use to send and receive email. Your email
provider’s name appears between the @

MP3 player and your phone?

player; you can play music on your smartphone. Simply transfer
songs onto your smartphone or an expansion card (sold
separately) and then listen through your stereo headphones.
Benefits

Never be far from your favorite
people, places, and songs
•
No separate photo viewer, MP3,

FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility Your Treo smartphone is compliant
with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For
additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product,

Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Palm® 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.
FCC RF Safety Statement
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
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure safety guidelines, users
MUST use one of the following types of bodyworn accessories.
•

SAR compliance and is intended for use with this product.

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.
•
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.
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 smartphone, 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.
Battery safety information
•
Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or
shred.
•
Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects
into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids,
expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.
•
•
Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.
Only use the battery with a charging system that has been
qualified with the system per this standard. Use of an unqualified
battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage,
or other hazard.
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:
•
•
Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects
to contact battery terminals.
Replace the battery only with another battery that has been
qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725-200x.
Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion,
leakage or other hazard.
•
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.
•
Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
•
•
Increase the relative humidity of your environment.
•
•
Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.
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.
Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences Conditions that can
contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment
include the following:
•
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other
hazard.
•
•
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.)

matérialisation de barrettes. 3 ou 4 barrettes, la réception est de
bonne qualité pour passer vos communications. Ce n'est pas
toujours le cas dans certaines zones ou situations, notamment les
parking souterrains, les ascenseurs, en train ou en voiture ou tout
simplement dans un secteur mal couvert par le réseau.
Precaution against hearing loss
Protect your hearing. Listening to this device at full volume for a long
period of time can damage your hearing.
A pleine puissance, l'écoute prolongée du baladeur peut
endommager l'oreille de l'utilisateur. Consultez notre site web
www.palm.com/fr pour plus d'informations.
Mesures touchant à la sécurité: Dans certains lieux ou situations,
tels que les avions, les hôpitaux, les stations-service et les garages
professionnels, l'usage du téléphone est interdit. Il est donc impératif
de respecter strictement les consignes de sécurité propres à
chacune de ces situations et d’éteindre votre téléphone lorsque cela
est requis.
Par ailleurs pour éviter les risques d’interférences, les personnes
porteuses d’implants électroniques (stimulateurs cardiaques,
pompes à insuline, neurostimulateurs.) doivent conserver une
distance de 15 cm entre le mobile et l’implant et ne l’utiliser que du
côté opposé au côté où celui-ci est situé.
Précautions d'usage de votre téléphone mobile
Le taux de DAS(1) (Débit d’Absorption Spécifique) de votre Treo 755P
smartphone est 0,896 w/kg
Téléphoner en conduisant, même avec des équipements qui ne sont
pas interdits par la réglementation, est dangereux car il augmente
potentiellement le risque d’accident provenant de la distraction créée
par la conversation elle même. Aussi, est-il recommandé de ne
jamais téléphoner en conduisant et de considérer que l’utilisation
d’un kit mains-libres n’est pas une solution.
Conseils d'utilisation pour réduire le niveau d'exposition aux
rayonnements: Utiliser le plus souvent possible les kits piétons
(oreillettes), notamment en cas d'usage fréquent ou prolongé du
téléphone mobile Ils apportent en outre un plus grand confort
d’utilisation.
(1) Valeur DAS la plus élevée pour ce modèle de téléphone et pour
une utilisation à l’oreille, communiquée par le constructeur. Le DAS,
exprimé en w/kg, quantifie le niveau d’exposition aux ondes
électromagnétiques et permet de vérifier la conformité des mobiles à
la réglementation française et européenne qui impose que celui-ci
soit inférieur à 2w/kg.
Eloigner le téléphone mobile de certaines zones sensibles telles que
le ventre chez les femmes enceintes ou le bas-ventre chez les
adolescents, plus particulièrement lors d’une communication.
