NOTE If you insert the correct battery into your smartphone and it still does not turn on, you need to charge the battery. See Charging the battery.
If the battery is fully drained, it may take a few moments for the indicator light to turn on when you begin charging. 2 CHAPTER SETTING UP 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. You can also trickle-charge your smartphone without the AC charger by connecting it to your computer with the sync cable. Trickle-charging takes longer, however.

Installation CD, some third-party applications may be quarantined because they are not compatible with the Palm OS software version 6x on your smartphone. Quarantined files are not installed on your smartphone, nor are they deleted. These files are placed in a new folder on your computer: C:\Documents and Settings\Palm\ \PalmOS5 Incompatible Apps. (Can’t find a Palm folder in Program Files? Then look for a folder labeled palmOne or Handspring instead.
CHAPTER 2 SETTING UP • Look at the numbers on the Free Space line and subtract the number on the left from the number on the right to calculate the space used. For example, on the device shown here, 22.4 – 17.5 = 4.9. This means that 4.9MB of space is occupied on this device. 2 If the space occupied on your previous device is 120MB or less, go to step 3.
• When you're asked to give your new smartphone a device name, be sure to select the name that you used for your old device. That name is listed in the drop-down box on the Install screen. (If you're not sure which name is your old device's name, select the HotSync application on your old Palm device. The device name appears in the upper-right corner of the screen.
CHAPTER 2 SETTING UP If you want to sync info with applications other than Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook, you need to purchase additional third-party sync software. This sync software is sometimes called a conduit. TIP 1 Close any applications that are currently running on your computer, including those that are minimized. Your computer needs to have all its resources available to install the software. 2 Insert the Palm Desktop Software Installation CD into the CD drive on your computer.
• The installation process prompts you to connect your smartphone to your computer. Go to the next section. Connecting your smartphone to your computer 4 (Optional) Connect the charger cable to the bottom of your smartphone. 2 CHAPTER SETTING UP You are now ready to synchronize; go to the next section, Synchronizing information—the basics. After you install the desktop software (see Installing the desktop synchronization software), you’re ready to connect your smartphone to your computer.
CHAPTER 2 SETTING UP Synchronizing information—the basics 2 Press the sync button on the sync cable. BEFORE YOU BEGIN To sync your info, you must install Palm Desktop software from the Palm Desktop Software Installation CD that came with your smartphone—even if you sync with Outlook or another third-party application. See Installing the desktop synchronization software for instructions. * 1 Connect your smartphone to your computer, as described in Connecting your smartphone to your computer.
Why synchronize? Synchronizing means that info that has been entered or updated in one place— your smartphone, your computer, or your corporate server—is automatically updated in the other. There’s no need to enter the info twice. We strongly recommend that you sync your smartphone with your computer or corporate server frequently to keep your info up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.
CHAPTER 2 SETTING UP Problems synchronizing? See Synchronization for troubleshooting suggestions. If you’re finishing your initial setup, you now have the option to install bonus software. If you choose to install some of the bonus software, you need to sync again to install the software on your smartphone. You can also install bonus software later; see Installing applications. For info on locating your pictures and videos on your computer, see Viewing pictures and videos on your computer.
C H A PT ER Moving around on your Palm® Centro™ smartphone 3 Have you ever been to a new city and felt a bit lost until you figured out that the numbered streets run north/south and the avenues run east/west? Learning to move around on your smartphone is similar. Most applications on your smartphone use the same set of controls in the same way. So once you learn how to use these controls on your smartphone, you’ll be driving all over town and you won’t even need a map.
