Insert the SIM card
You must insert an activated SIM card
before turning on the phone for the first
time. If you don’t have a SIM card,
contact AT&T.
WARNING Always remove the battery
before inserting or removing the SIM card.
NOTE: If you already turned on your
phone, you must turn it off before
inserting the SIM card. To turn the phone
off, press and hold the power button
(see p. 6) and tap Turn Off.
1 To separate the back cover from
the body of the phone: Use your
thumbnail to release the clasp at the
midpoint of the left side of the phone.

Can’t start setup?
If you inserted the SIM card without first

will not be able to complete setup. To fix
this, remove the battery, and then
remove the SIM card. Then insert the
SIM card and last, insert the battery.

Set up your phone
To use your phone, you must agree to
Palm’s terms and conditions, and create
and verify a Palm profile. Be sure to write
down the valid email address and the
password that you use to create your
profile; you will need them later.
If you forget your password, go to
palm.com/palmprofile to reset it. If
you forget your email address, go to
palm.com/support for assistance.
For tips on tapping the screen and
entering text, see the Navigation guide
(after p. 12) and the info on p. 15.
NOTE: Do you have a Palm profile from a
webOS™ phone that you no longer use?
During setup, just sign in to your existing
profile when prompted. All info associated
with your profile is downloaded to your
new phone. If you are still using your
other phone, however, you should create
a new profile for your new phone—you
can’t use the same profile on two
phones at the same time.

To wirelessly sync Contacts and Calendar
info, set up online accounts with
providers like Google and Microsoft
Exchange.
If you don’t already have an account with
a provider, you must create one before
you set up the account on your phone.
For example:
• Google: Go to gmail.com.
• Exchange: Check with your company’s
IT department.
After you create an online account, set
up the account on your phone. See p. 16.
For the full list of available online sync
accounts, see the online accounts table
at the back of the User Guide (see p. 22).
A sync relationship you set up in one app
is automatically set up in other apps. For
example, by setting up a Gmail email
account, your phone is also set to sync
Google Contacts, Calendar, and IM.

Merged views and
linked contacts
The Palm® Synergy™ feature displays
data from several sources in a single
view on your phone, but keeps the
sources of your data separate.
Let’s say you use Google calendar for
your personal appointments and your
company’s Outlook calendar for business
appointments. Your phone’s Calendar
application can display appointments
from both calendars in a single view.
Likewise, the Email application lets you
display the messages from all your
account inboxes in a single view. And
in Messaging, all your messages with
the same person show up in a single
conversation view.
The Contacts application also offers a
merged view—all your contacts from all
your accounts appear in a single list.
Contacts also lets you see all your
information for a person in a single view.
