CHAPTER 1
Setting Up
Your new Palm™ i700 Series handheld is wirelessly enabled so that you can use it
to transmit and receive information over the airwaves. Use your handheld to do
the following:
■
Receive secure business e-mail wherever you are, and rely on your handheld’s
blinking indicator light, vibrator, or alarm to notify you of its arrival.
■
Set filters and notification preferences so that you determine what e-mail is
forwarded from your desktop.
■
Read, compose, and send e-mail on the go.
■
Access the Internet and view content formatted for viewing on your handheld,
or browse or search the Internet.
■
Stay organized and on time by keeping your appointments, contact
information, and to do items in one place
■
Quickly jot notes or memos on the fly
Before you can use these features, you must set up your handheld, install software
on your desktop computer, activate your wireless account, and activate your
handheld.
