What is a Palm profile?
Your Palm profile provides the following benefits:
• Automatic system and software updates are sent to your phone.
• A Palm profile account is automatically created for you on your phone. In
this account you can store Contacts and Calendar info that you don’t store
in online accounts like Google or Exchange.
NOTE You cannot access Palm profile data on the profile website—you can
access the data on your phone only.
• Info stored in your Palm profile account, as well as info you have in
applications on your phone (like Memos and Tasks), is automatically
backed up to servers administered by Palm.
• If your phone is lost or stolen, open the web browser on your computer,
sign in to your Palm profile on
palm.com/palmprofile , and do a remote
erase of the info on the phone.
NOTE If you want to erase data on your phone while you are still in possession of
the phone—for example, before you give it to someone else—don’t do a remote
erase. Instead, do a partial or full erase of the phone itself (see
Erase data and reset
your phone ).
For detailed information about your Palm profile, see Backup .
Although you create a Palm profile by entering a valid email address, setting
up a Palm profile is different from setting up email on your phone. To set up
email, see
Set up email . To change your Palm profile information after you
set it up, see Update your Palm Profile settings .
Charge the battery
When the battery is very low, the battery icon in the upper-right corner
of the screen changes to red. When the battery is fully charged, the icon
appears full and changes to green .
WARNING Use only batteries and chargers that are approved by Palm with your
phone. Failure to use a battery or charger approved by Palm may increase the risk
that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in property damage,
serious bodily injury, or death. Use of unapproved third-party power supply
accessories may damage the phone and void the Limited Warranty for the
product.
Although the battery may come with a sufficient charge to complete the
setup process, we recommend that after setup you charge your phone until
the battery
icon in the upper-right corner of the screen is full to ensure
that the battery is fully charged.
See Maximizing battery life for tips on making your battery’s power last
longer.
1 On the right side of your phone, open the charger/microUSB
connector . This is easier to do if you slide the keyboard out first.
