Basics You’re about to discover the many things about your Palm® Pixi™ Plus phone that can help you better manage your life and have fun, too. As you become more familiar with your phone, you’ll want to personalize the settings and add applications to make it uniquely yours. But first, take the few easy steps in this chapter to set up your phone and get it running.
Get to know your phone Front view IMPORTANT Be careful not to scratch, crush, or apply too much pressure on the touchscreen. Do not store your phone in a place where other items might damage it. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or aerosols to clean the phone or its accessories. Keyboard 1 Option: Press to enter numbers, punctuation, and symbols that appear above the letters on the keys (see Enter alternate keyboard characters), or to move the cursor (see Text selection gestures).
Touchscreen Icons in the title bar You can monitor the status of several items using icons in the area at the top of the phone screen: Table 1. Title bar icons and descriptions Item Description The battery is being charged. The battery is fully charged. The battery is low. See Charge the battery. Airplane mode is turned on. This means that the phone, Wi-Fi feature, and Bluetooth® wireless technology feature are off (incoming calls go to voicemail). See Turn wireless services off (airplane mode).
Table 1. Title bar icons and descriptions Item Back view Description Bluetooth® wireless technology is turned on. See Bluetooth® wireless technology. A Bluetooth connection is in progress. A Bluetooth connection has been made. Your phone is performing a search on the characters you entered. If you are in Card view or the Launcher, your phone conducts a universal search (see Search to find info and make calls).
Set up your phone 4 To begin separating the back cover from the body of the phone, use your thumbnail to release the clasp at the midpoint of the left side of the phone (see (a) in step 5). 5 Run your thumbnail around the hairline opening to release the upper-left and top clasps. You may hear a sound when the clasp releases. Insert the SIM card Your SIM (subscriber identity module) card contains information on your wireless account.
6 Run your thumbnail around the hairline opening to release the bottom-left and bottom clasps. End at (b). 8 Remove the battery by putting your finger in the recess to the right of the battery; push the battery left and then lift it up and out. WARNING You must remove the battery first whenever you insert or remove the SIM card. 7 Swing the body of the phone out of the back cover as if the right side were a hinge. 9 Insert the SIM card.
10 Replace the battery. Complete setup 11 To replace the back cover: Insert the ringer switch into the hole provided for it on the right side of the back cover. 1 Press and hold the power button on the upper-left corner of your phone until you see the Palm® logo on the screen (approximately five seconds). 2 Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup. 3 To create a Palm profile, enter a working email address and select and answer a security question (see What is a Palm profile?).
What is a Palm profile? WARNING Use only batteries and chargers that are approved by Palm with your phone.

Use of unapproved third-party power supply accessories may damage the phone and void the Limited Warranty for the product.
2 Connect the small end of the USB cable to the charger/microUSB connector. The silver circle on the cable faces the front of the phone. 3 Connect the other end of the USB cable to the AC charger. 4 Plug the AC charger into a working outlet.

Turn the phone on/off TIP You can also unlock the screen by dragging up from the gesture area across the onscreen lock icon. Your Pixi Plus phone’s screen can be turned on and off separately from its wireless services (which are the Phone app, Wi-Fi app, and Bluetooth app). This means you can wake up the screen to use just the organizer features of your device (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos, and so on) without turning on the phone and other wireless features.
When your phone locates a signal, AT&T appears in the upper-left corner of the screen in the Launcher, Card view, and Phone, and the signal-strength icon appears at the top of the screen. * These indicate that wireless services are off (airplane mode).

The forward gesture, available in Web only, is a swipe from left to right anywhere in the gesture area.
Flick: As its name tells you, this is a quick gesture, great for scrolling long lists, documents, or pages. Do it fast, do it lightly; as with a swipe, your fingertip just skims the surface.

This is called throwing the card off the top of the screen.
Stop scrolling: Tap or drag the screen while scrolling.

Data transfer From a Windows computer, you can export contacts, calendar appointments, tasks, and memos/notes from Palm® Desktop software by ACCESS version 6.2 and Microsoft Outlook® 2003 or later. From a Mac computer, you can export contacts, calendar events, and tasks from Address Book and iCal. After you export the data, you can add the data into one of your online accounts or the Palm profile account on your Palm® Pixi™ Plus phone.
Data transfer overview While you have many options for transferring data, Palm recommends that you take advantage of the Palm® Synergy™ feature by putting your data in an online account—for example, if you don’t have a Google account, we recommend that you create one and store your data there (see How do I add names and other info into Contacts?, How do I get events into Calendar?, and How do I send and receive email on my phone?).
How do I get data off my computer? IMPORTANT The DTA is not synchronization software. It is meant to be used once per desktop app, to export your info from the desktop app to an account on your phone. These are the desktop apps that the DTA works with, and the data that the DTA transfers to your phone: Table 1.
I’m already using Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, and/or Exchange. How do I sync data? 2 Enter your account credentials for your Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, or Exchange account. See Use Contacts for the first time. NOTE You don’t have to go to Calendar to set up your account there—that’s done automatically using the credentials you entered in Contacts.
3 Enter the account credentials for your Google account. See Use Contacts for the first time. I’d rather sync directly with my computer NOTE You don’t have to go to Calendar to set up your account there—that’s done automatically using the username and password you enter in Contacts. 4 Install a third-party application on your computer that enables you to sync with Google. Go to palm.com/sync-solutions to learn about available third-party sync solutions.
