your new Treo 700P smartphone. This
includes your calendar events, contacts,
memos, and tasks, as well as your app
settings and any compatible third-party
apps and any files that are compatible with
the Palm OS software version 5.4.9 on your
new Treo smartphone.
Incompatible files are quarantined.
Quarantined files are not installed on your
smartphone; they are placed in a new
folder on your computer: C:\Program
Files\Palm\device name\PalmOS5
Incompatible Apps. (On some systems
Palm may be replaced with palmOne or
Handspring.)
1 Calculate how much space your apps
and info occupy on your previous Palm
OS device:
• From Applications View, open the
menus.
• Select Info on the App menu.
• At the bottom of the screen, select
Size.
• 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 the
space used on this device is 4.9MB.
2 If the space used on your previous
device is 60MB or less, go to step 3.
If the space used is greater than 60MB,
do any of the following to reduce the
space used before going to the next
step:
• Delete any third-party apps that you
no longer use.
TIP Some third-party utilities let you back up
your old device’s info onto an expansion card
and then transfer the info to your Treo 700
P
smartphone. We do not recommend this
method because any incompatible apps are
also transferred to your smartphone.
