Battery consumption varies based on your personal usage. Consumption factors include signal strength, backlight and speakerphone usage, and whether calls are data or voice calls. Charging the battery Inserting the SIM card Before using your Treo, you need to charge the battery. It may not turn on at all when you first remove it from the box. We recommend three hours for a full charge, or until the LED is solid green. 1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. If necessary, connect an adapter. 2.

If you do not experience the problem after you perform a hard reset, the problem may be related to software you installed.

Uninstall Palm Desktop. 7. Reboot your computer. 8. Reinstall Palm Desktop.
Mail I can’t receive email If you use web-based email (Hotmail, AOL) or corporate email (Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes), the Mail application that comes with Treo will not work. You must use a third-party solution. Contact your email service provider if you are not sure whether your email account is POP3-compatible. First, make sure you have Internet access: launch the Blazer web browser to see if you can view a web page you’ve successfully viewed before.
First, obtain this information from your mobile service provider*: • Does the Internet connection they provide support sending SMTP emails? • Is there an alternate SMTP authenticated server used for email? • Is SSL required for POP3 or SMTP email transactions? Web * I can’t access a page If you are using a circuit-switched data (CSD) connection, contact your Internet service provider for this information, instead of your mobile service provider.
Camera Third-party applications The Camera application takes pictures at Small picture size (160x120 pixels) and Large picture size (640x480 pixels, or .3 megapixel).
