Why Connect My Device to My Computer? You need to install the desktop software and connect the sync cable so that you can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your device. You can use either Palm® Desktop software (included) or Microsoft Outlook for Windows (sold separately) as your synchronization software. Synchronization means you can enter or change information on your device or on your computer and then synchronize to automatically update the information in both places.
Upgrading From Another Palm OS® by ACCESS Device Note: If you are setting up your first Palm OS® by ACCESS device, skip ahead to “Connecting Your Palm Centro™ Smart Device to Your Computer” on page 34. You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous Palm OS device to your new Palm Centro™ smart device. This includes your calendar events, contacts, memos, and tasks, as well as your application settings and any compatible third-party applications and files.
䡲 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 old device is 64MB or less, go to step 3.
䡲 䡲 Indicate whether you want to sync all applications or only PIM (personal information management) applications. Select a device name for your new device; be sure to select the same name that you used for your old device. (This is the name that appears in the User list in Palm Desktop software.) 7. (Mac users only) If you have pictures on your old device, copy them from your old device to an expansion card or beam them to your new Centro device. 8.
Installing the Desktop Synchronization Software Even if you already own a Palm OS® by ACCESS device and have installed a previous version of the desktop software, you must install the software from the Palm Software Installation CD that comes with your Centro smart device by Palm. Note: If you are installing the software on a computer at work, make sure your company allows you to install new software. Contact your company’s IT department for help.
4. When the installation wizard opens, follow the onscreen instructions. Please note these important points about the installation process: 䡲 (Windows only) You can choose which desktop software you want to use for synchronization: Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook. (Microsoft Outlook desktop software sold separately. Microsoft Outlook synchronization conduit included.
Connecting Your Palm Centro™ Smart Device to Your Computer 1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. 2. Plug the USB sync cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub on your computer. 3. With the sync button facing up, connect the sync cable to the bottom of your device. Do not press the sync button until you are instructed to do so. 4. Connect the charger cable to the charger jack. Sync Button Sync Cable Charger Cable You are now ready to synchronize.
Synchronizing Information—The Basics Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place (your device or your computer) is automatically updated in the other, so there’s no need to enter the information twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Centro device with your computer or corporate server frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.
How each application syncs depends on your computer type and the desktop software you are using, as follows: Computer Desktop Windows Outlook What Syncs and Where 䢇 䢇 Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and Tasks sync with Outlook. Pics&Videos syncs with Palm Desktop software. Windows Palm Desktop software All applications sync with Palm Desktop. Mac Palm Desktop software All applications sync with Palm Desktop.
2. Press the sync button on the sync cable. Sync Button A message indicates that synchronization is in progress. Tip: If you have any problems synchronizing, see “Synchronization” on page 311 for troubleshooting suggestions. If you’re finishing your initial setup, you now have the option to install bonus software from go.palm.com/centro-sprint/. If you choose to install some of the bonus software, you need to sync again to install the software on your device.

FCC Notice This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
General Precautions Note: For the best care of your device, only Sprint authorized personnel should service your device and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty. Usage Log Your smart device includes a Usage Log that records software application launches and any device crashes or resets. A hard reset will not erase the Usage Log. We may, for diagnostic purposes, access the Usage Log in products returned to Palm.
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 Centro 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). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use.
RF signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. Note: Safety 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. Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before using the phone near medical equipment. Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft.
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 Centro 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 monthly bill.
Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device Safety Your Palm® Centro™ smart device is compliant with the FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product, please refer to www.palm.com/centroHAC. Your device has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise.
hearing aid. Add the rating of your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable usability: 䢇 Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use. 䢇 Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use. 䢇 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.” This is synonymous for T ratings.
device's Bluetooth Wireless feature. It does not affect calls heard on the speakerphone or with a car kit or headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it's turned on. Safety 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. 1.
Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance. 䢇 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.
Battery Safety Information 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 䢇 Disposal of Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries Do not handle a damaged or leaking li-ion battery as you can be burned. For safe disposal options of your li-ion batteries, contact your nearest Palm authorized service center. Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy Understanding How Your Phone Operates Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode. Knowing Radiofrequency Safety The design of your Centro smart device by Palm complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring, and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design, and other factors.
Bluetooth® Qualification Program Information about this listing can be found at: https://programs.bluetooth.org/tpg/listings.
Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Device Description of ESD Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock—the discharge event—when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.
to your computer, placing the device in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following: 䢇 Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body. 䢇 Increase the relative humidity of your environment.
