CHAPTER
Upgrading from
another Palm
OS®device
NOTE If you’re setting up your first Palm
OS®device, skip this section.
You can transfer all compatible apps and
info from your previous Palm OS device to
your new Treo 755p smartphone. This
includes your calendar events, contacts,
memos, and tasks, as well as your app
settings, 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.)
1Calculate 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 on the
next page, 22.4 – 17.5 = 4.9. This
means that the space used on this
device is 4.9MB.
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 755p
smartphone. We do not recommend this
method, because any incompatible apps are
also transferred to your smartphone.

2If 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.
•Move large files, such as eBooks and
images, to an expansion card.
•Move third-party apps to an expansion
card.
•Purge old info in apps such as
Calendar (Date Book), Tasks (To Do),
and email. For instructions, see the
documentation that came with your
previous device.
3Sync your previous device with your
previous desktop software to back up
your info one last time.
4Install the desktop synchronization
software from your new Palm Software
Installation CD (see the Read This First
booklet).
IMPORTANT Do not sync your new Treo
755p smartphone with any previous
versions of Palm®Desktop software.
5When prompted, do the following
during the installation process:
•Connect your new smartphone to
your computer (see the Read This
First booklet).
•Indicate whether you want to sync
only the info in your PIM apps
(Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and
Tasks) or all info and apps (excluding
apps known to be incompatible).
•Select a device name for your new
smartphone; be sure to select the
same name that you used for your old
device. (This is the name that appears
in the User list in Palm Desktop
software.)

MAC ONLY If you have pictures on your
previous device, copy them from your
previous device to an expansion card or
beam them to your new Treo 755p
smartphone.
6If you plan to continue using your
previous device, perform a hard reset to
remove its device name. (See the
documentation that came with your
previous device for hard reset
instructions.) The next time you sync
your previous device with your
computer, assign it a new name.
If any third-party apps are quarantined
during the installation, do not manually
install them. Contact the developer for
software updates and info about
compatibility with your new smartphone.
Moving around on
the screen
To move around your smartphone screen,
you can use the 5-way navigator for
one-handed navigation, or you can tap
items on the screen with the stylus. With
use, you will find your own favorite way to
scroll, highlight, and select menu items.
The 5-way includes the following buttons:
Up
Right
Left
Down
Center

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 Left ,
Right ,Up , and Down on the
5-way to move the highlight from one item
to another.
Learn to recognize the highlight. It can take
two forms:
•Border glow: When an entire screen,
an onscreen button (such as Done,
New, or OK), or a pick list is highlighted,
a glow appears around its border. If an
entire list screen is highlighted, the
glow appears at the top and bottom of
the screen only; to highlight the first
item in the list, press Center .
•Colored background: When text, a
phone number, 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.
After highlighting an item, you can select
(activate) it by pressing Center , or by
tapping the item with the stylus.
TIP If the item you want doesn’t appear on the
screen, try tapping the onscreen scroll arrows
to view more info.
