Using Find The Find feature locates any text in the built-in applications and databases and in some third-party applications. The Find feature searches for the group of characters you specify, including characters that are part of a word. Find is not case-sensitive, and it locates any word that begins with the text you enter.
Page 243: Installing Applications
The instructions in this section tell you how to install basic PRC (Palm OS application) and PDB (Palm OS database) files on your Treo device. Some Palm OS software uses an installer or wizard to guide you through the process.
Page 244 Installing Applications From the Internet You can use the Web browser on your device to install Palm OS files (PRC or PDB) directly from the Internet. When you download a PRC or PDB file, it is automatically installed on your device. If a file is compressed (ZIP or SIT files), you need to download it to your computer and expand the file before installing it on your device.
Page 245 To install other third-party applications from a computer, you must first install Palm Desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD that came with your device. When you download an application to your computer, it is probably in a compressed format such as a ZIP or SIT file.
Page 246: Removing Applications
Removing Applications If you decide that you no longer need an application or you want to free up memory, you can remove applications from your device or from an expansion card. You can remove only applications, patches, and extensions that you install; you cannot remove the built-in applications that reside in the ROM portion of your Treo device.
Page 247 Windows: C:\Program Files\Palm\<Device Name>. Mac: Mac HD/Users/<User Name>/Documents/Palm/Users/<Device Name>. If you upgraded from a previous version of Palm Desktop, your backup folder may be located in the palmOne or Handspring folder. If you find a PRC or PDB file for the application you just removed, delete the file from the Backup folder.

Page 296: Resetting Your Treo Device
Resetting Your Treo Device Soft Reset Performing a soft reset is similar to restarting a computer. If your Treo device is not responding or you’re having trouble synchronizing with your computer, a soft reset may help. All your information is retained when you perform a soft reset. Remove the battery from your device, and then reinsert it.
Page 297: Hard Reset
Hard Reset A hard reset erases all information and third-party software on your Treo device. Never perform a hard reset without first trying a soft and a system reset. You can restore previously synchronized information the next time you synchronize. Note: Your device might not re-establish a Sprint Vision session after a hard reset.
Page 298 If a “Reformatting in progress” message appears, do not touch your device until the process is complete. This may take up to ten minutes. Follow the onscreen instructions to align the screen and set the date and time. (Optional) If you want to confirm that the hard reset was successful, press Applications and select HotSync .
Page 299: Replacing The Battery
Replacing the Battery Your Treo device comes with a replaceable battery. Be sure to use a battery that is approved by Sprint and that is compatible with your device. Failure to use the proper battery may result in personal injury or product damage, and it voids your device warranty. Press Power/End to turn off the screen.

Page 335: Important Safety Information
This guide contains important operational and safety information to help you safely use your Treo™ 755 smart device by Palm. Failure to read and follow the information provided in this guide may result in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Page 336: General Precautions
General Precautions There are several simple guidelines to operating your device properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service. Speak directly into the microphone. Avoid exposing your device and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your device does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. Although your device is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken.
Page 337: Maintaining Safe Use Of And Access To Your Device
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to Your Device Do Not Rely on Your Device’s Phone for Emergency Calls Wireless phones such as the one on your Treo device operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communication (for example, medical emergencies).
Page 338 RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment.
Page 339 Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories. Restricting Children’s Access to Your Device Your Treo device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could hurt themselves and others, damage the device and/or its phone, or make calls that increase your Sprint Invoice.
Page 340: Using Your Phone With A Hearing Aid Device
Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. Your Treo 755 smart device by Palm phone has an M3 and T3 rating. These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree of your hearing loss.
Page 341 hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability: Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use. Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use. Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable. Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have a combined rating of six for “best use.”...
Page 342 Caution: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing. Make sure your phone is turned on (see “Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off” on page 55).
Page 343: Caring For The Battery
Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing standards.
Page 344 Battery Safety Information Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred. Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard. Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.
Page 345: Radiofrequency (Rf) Energy
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety The design of your Treo 755 smart device by Palm complies with updated NCRP standards described below. In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals.

Page 347: Static Electricity, Esd, And Your Device
Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm® device, from ESD harm. While Palm has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment.
