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 4 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 smartphone. Make sure the arrow
on the connector is facing up, toward the screen.
3. To confirm your smartphone is charging, check the indicator light.
• When the indicator light is solid red, your smartphone is charging.
• When the indicator light turns solid green, your smartphone is fully charged.
• If the indicator light does not turn on when you connect your smartphone 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 :: Turning the phone on and off
Turning the phone 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 smartphone, it connects to a mobile phone 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 134 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, the device is not
connected to any mobile phone 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 smartphone 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.
