Introducing the pdQ Smartphone
The pdQ smartphone looks and works like
other phones and electronic organizers you
may already have used. But it is much more,
since it is both a phone and an organizer.
Because these features are completely
integrated, you can use the telephone
features and the organizer features together
or independently.
You can use the phone features with the
keypad open or closed. You can use the
Palm applications on your pdQ smartphone
without turning the phone on at all.
This chapter is an introduction to your pdQ
smartphone and a quick overview of its
features.
Turning the pdQ Smartphone On and Off
The battery in your pdQ smartphone is delivered partially charged. Before you
use the phone or organizer extensively, be sure to charge the battery
completely. See “Installing and Charging the Battery” on page 13.
To turn the phone on and off:
If the keypad is closed, press and hold down
for a few seconds.
If the keypad is open, tap on the SideStrip.
A message tells you that the phone is on or off.
Note:
Tap means to use the stylus or your finger to press an icon or box
when the keypad is open. Never use a pen, pin, pencil, or other
pointed object on the screen. The stylus is stored on the left side
panel near the volume control buttons.
To use Palm applications without turning on the phone:
Flip open the keypad.
A message at the top of the screen tells you that the phone is off. The rest
of the screen displays Palm applications.
