Palm OS

The operating system of your Treo 680. 
Palm OS is known for its simplicity of use 
and for the large number of compatible 
third-party applications that can be added 
to your smartphone.

Palm™ Quick Install

The component on your Windows 
computer that enables you to install Palm 
OS applications and other information on 
your Treo.

Partnership

Two Bluetooth devices—for example, your 
smartphone and a hands-free device—that 
can connect because each device finds the 
same passkey on the other device. Once 
you form a partnership with a device, you 
don’t need to enter a passkey to connect 
with that device again. Partnership is also 
known as paired relationship, pairing, 
trusted device, and trusted pair on some 
devices.

Phone 

The application on your Treo 680 that 
enables you to make and receive phone 
calls. 

PIM (personal information manager)

A genre of software that includes 
applications such as Palm Desktop 
software, Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, 
and ACT!. PIMs generally store contacts, 
schedules, tasks, and memos. 

PIN (personal identification number) 

The four-digit password assigned to your 
SIM card by your wireless service provider. 
Turning on the PIN lock secures your 
wireless account. See also PUK.

PIN2 (personal identification number 2) 

A code that protects certain network 
settings such as call barring or fixed dialing. 

PUK (PIN unlock key)

A special extended password assigned to 
your SIM card. If you enter the wrong PIN 
more than three times, your SIM card will 
be blocked and you must call your wireless 
service provider for the PUK.

Quick key

A letter that you can press and hold to 
activate a favorite from any tab in the 
Phone app. For example, create a 
speed-dial button for your mother's 
number and enter the letter 

M

 for “Mom”
