12 :: Charging the battery
Charging the battery
Before using your Treo 650 smartphone, you need to charge the battery. It may not
turn on at all when you first remove it from the box. We recommend four hours for a
full charge, or until the indicator light is solid green.
1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. If necessary, connect an adapter.
2. Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the Treo. Make sure the arrow on the
connector is facing up, toward your Treo screen.
3. To confirm your Treo is charging, check the indicator light.
• When the indicator light is solid red, your Treo is charging.
• When the indicator light turns solid green, your Treo is fully charged.
• If the indicator light does not turn on when you connect your Treo to the AC
charger, double-check the cable connection and the electrical outlet to which
it is connected.
Battery consumption varies
based on personal usage.
Consumption factors
include signal strength,
speakerphone usage, and
whether calls are data or
voice calls.
When your Treo is
connected to a power
source, the indicator
light glows solid (versus
flashing), and the color
of the light indicates the
charging state.

14 :: Inserting the SIM card
Inserting the SIM card
Your subscriber identity module (SIM) card contains account information such as your
phone number and voicemail access number. To use the phone, email, or web features
of your Treo 650 smartphone, you need to insert the SIM card. If a SIM card did not
come with your Treo 650, your wireless service provider will give you one when you
subscribe. If you have an older, 5-volt SIM card, you should request a newer, 3-volt
SIM. This Treo is not compatible with older 5-volt SIM cards.
1. Slide the SIM tray out of the phone.
2. Insert the SIM card into the SIM tray by aligning the notches until you feel it lock
into place.
3. Slide the SIM tray back into the phone.
4. If your SIM card is not already activated, follow the activation steps provided by
your wireless service provider or contact your wireless service provider directly for
assistance. If you want to use email, web browsing, and multimedia messaging, be
sure to confirm that your SIM card is activated for data services.
Your wireless service
provider may already have
inserted the SIM card into
your Treo. In that case, skip
to “Turning Treo on and off”
on page 15.
To remove the SIM card,
pull the SIM tray out of the
slot and remove the card
from the tray.

Turning Treo on and off :: 15
Turning Treo on and off
You can use the Palm OS®features of your Treo 650 smartphone independently
of the wireless features and applications. In other words, the screen and phone are
designed to be turned off and on separately.
Turning your phone on and off
When you turn on your Treo, it connects to a mobile network so that you can make
and receive phone calls and use other wireless services.
1. Press and hold Power/End to turn on your phone. If Sound Mode is on you’ll
hear a series of ascending tones. (See “Setting the ringer switch” on page 146 for
more on Sound Mode.) After your phone locates a signal, you can use the phone
and Internet features (if supported by the local network).
2. Press and hold Power/End again to turn off your phone. If Sound Mode is on
you‘ll hear a series of descending tones. When your phone is off, your Treo is not
connected to any mobile network. You can still use the organizer and other Palm
OS features. This is ideal for airplane flights and for maximizing battery life.
Waking up the screen
To use the Palm OS features when your phone is off, you need to wake up the screen.
You can also turn off your phone’s screen without turning off your phone’s wireless
features.
1. Press Power/End to wake up the screen.
2. Briefly press Power/End to turn off the screen.
The indicator light flashes
green when your phone is
on and you’re inside a
coverage area. If you’re
outside a coverage area,
the indicator light flashes
amber.
Your Treo 650 includes a
keyboard backlight for low-
light conditions. The
keyboard backlight
activates automatically
when the screen turns on.
It turns off automatically
when the screen turns off
and when an active call
lasts longer than a minute.
You can also press any
application buttons on the
front of your phone to wake
up the screen and go
directly to the application
linked to that button.
RowdyUG.book Page 15 Tuesday, December 7, 2004 9:58 AM

16 :: Making your first call
Making your first call
We recommend that you charge your Treo 650 smartphone for a full four hours
(or until the indicator light is solid green) before using it for the first time.
1. Press and hold Power/End . You will hear a series of ascending tones.
2. Allow the Treo to complete a network search. The search may take several
seconds. When it is complete, the Network Status icon appears in the
upper-right.
3. If prompted for a PIN, enter it on the PIN screen. The default PIN is often 1234. If
the default PIN doesn’t work, check the documentation you received from your
wireless service provider or contact your wireless service provider for help.
4. Press Phone/Send .
5. Using the number pad on the Treo keyboard, enter the desired phone number.
6. Press Phone/Send to dial.
7. When your call is complete, press Power/End or use the 5-way navigator to
select Hang Up.
If No Service appears in
the upper left, you are out
of a wireless coverage area.
If you believe you are in a
wireless coverage area and
this problem persists,
contact your wireless
service provider for
assistance.
If you are inside a coverage
and cannot complete a call,
your SIM card may not be
activated. Please contact
your wireless service
provider for assistance.
To quickly redial your most
recent call, press and hold
the Phone/Send button to
display the redial list.

Making your first call :: 17
Adjusting call volume
While a call is in progress, press the Volume button on the side of your Treo to adjust
call volume.
What’s my number?
1. Make sure your phone is on (see “Turning your phone on and off” on page 15).
2. Press Phone/Send .
3. Press Menu .
4. Select Options, and then select Phone Info.
If your phone number is
not displayed, exit Phone
Info, and make sure your
SIM card is properly
inserted in the SIM slot.
If your phone number still
does not appear in Phone
Info, look on the plastic
holder to which the SIM
card was attached. If you
still need assistance, please
consult your wireless
service provider.
