CHAPTER 1
Setting Up
Note: Information in this section and in the Getting Started Guide will be updated

Your new Palm™ i705 handheld is wirelessly enabled so that you can use it, like a

handheld to do the following:
■Receive enterprise e-mail wherever you are, and rely on your handheld’s
blinking indicator light to notify you of its arrival.
■Set filters and notification preferences so that you determine what e-mail is
forwarded from your desktop.
■Read, compose, and send e-mail on the go.
■Access the internet and view content formated for viewing on your handheld,
or browse or search the internet.
Before you can use these features, you must set up your handheld, install software
on your desktop computer, and activate your wireless account.
System Requirements
To install and operate Palm™ Desktop software, your computer system must meet
the following requirements:
Minimum requirements: Windows
■IBM-compatible Pentium-class computer

Internet Access
For easiest activation of your wireless account, and to receive updates to the
MyPalm™ application, your desktop computer must have the following:
■A modem
■An account with an internet service provider
■A web browser
If you are upgrading from another Palm OS®handheld:
If you already own a Palm OS handheld, you must install the version of Palm
Desktop software that comes with your new handheld. Also, perform a HotSync®
operation using your old handheld and cradle before you complete the set up
tasks. This ensures all data on your handheld is on your desktop computer.
Step 1: Connect the HotSync cradle
Step 2: Charge your Handheld
Just place your handheld on the cradle for two hours for an initial charge before
you use it. Then, place it on the cradle for a few minutes each day to recharge it to
Shut down and turn off your computer.
Plug the USB connector into a USB port on your
computer.

full capacity. Your handheld’s indicator light displays solid green when it is
charging.
Step 3: Install Software
Step 4: Perform HotSync Operations
Palm Desktop software
Palm Desktop software includes the same organizer applications as your
handheld: Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Note Pad, and Memo Pad.
Changes you make in one place appear in the other after you perform a HotSync
operation.
Insert the CD labeled Palm Desktop software
and follow the onscreen instructions.
Query to Marketing: How will the
CD be labeled?
After Palm Desktop software installs, you are
prompted to install the desktop e-mail
forwarder, a conduit for updating the
MyPalm®application, and to activate your
wireless account. The instructions guide you
through these tasks.
See the next section for details.
As part of the installation process, you will be
prompted to perform HotSync operations.
Just place your handheld on the cradle and press the
HotSync button.
When the HotSync operations complete, remove the
handheld from the cradle by gently rocking it forward
and then lifting it from the cradle.

Desktop e-mail director
The desktop e-mail director securely forwards e-mail from your Windows
enterprise mailbox to your handheld. Your handheld notifies you of its arrival by
blinking its red indicator light at paired intervals.
ADDITIONAL DOC/CONFIG INFO TBD
What is the official name of the desktop director, and is it trademarked/registered?
The MyPalm Update conduit
The MyPalm application on your handheld is a portal, like portal sites on the
internet. It allows you to quickly and wirelessly access internet content formatted
for your handheld. If installed, the MyPalm Update conduit will initiate an
Internet connection each time you perform a HotSync operation. If a newer version
of the MyPalm application is found, it replaces the current version on your
handheld.
Wireless account
As the first HotSync operation completes, the installer launches a web browser on
your desktop and opens the Palm i705 Activation URL where you will register
your wireless account, select a service plan, provide billing information, and begin
activation.
New users: Click Sign up and Register.
Palm VII/VIIx users: Logon using your existing palm.net username and password.
You must also check the box beneath the password that identifies you as a Palm
VII/VIIx user.
MyPalm portal members: Logon using your MyPalm portal username and
password.
If you do not have Internet access, call Customer Care to set up your wireless
account. You will need to provide your handheld’s hardware serial number, which
is printed on the back panel of the handheld.
IMPORTANT When you complete registration, you receive a five digit activation key
that you need to activate wireless service on your handheld.
