Application
Your handheld is a wireless device
Your Palm VII™ handheld is equipped with an internal transmitter
and an antenna. These components enable your handheld, like a
cellular phone, to use a radio frequency to transmit and receive
information over the airwaves.
You don’t need a modem or a wired connection to a computer to use
your handheld as a wireless device, but you must activate the
Palm.Net™ wireless communication service. See “Activating the
Palm.Net wireless communication service” in Chapter 1 for more
information.
After you activate the service, you have access to two wireless features
that enhance your ability to stay connected: web clipping and wireless
Internet messaging. This chapter describes those features and explains
how to use them.
Important:
Whenever you use the wireless features of your
handheld, please observe the guidelines or prohibitions
on the use of wireless devices in your current location. For
example, when you are on an airplane, do not raise the
antenna or use the wireless features at times when the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or airline
regulations prohibit the use of cellular phones. You can,
of course, use all other applications of your handheld in
accordance with airline regulations for electronic devices.
Web clipping applications
Web clipping is a fast and simple way to retrieve specific information
from the Internet. It is a simple process of query-and-response: You
submit a request for specific information from the Internet and tap a
button that transmits your request; within seconds, you receive a
response.
