• If you do not frequently use applications that require GPS information,
turn off the settings in Location Services (see
Location Services ). Your
phone prompts you to turn a service on if an application requires it
temporarily.
• Buy an extra battery as a spare for periods of heavy use or long periods
when you cannot charge your phone. To purchase batteries that are
compatible with your phone, go to
palm.com/store and click Accessories
for your phone.
Turn the phone on/off
Your Pre 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. Also, when
the screen is turned off, the phone can be on and ready for you to receive
phone calls or messages.
Turn the screen on/off
Turn the screen on and leave the wireless services turned off when you want
to use only the organizer features, for example, when you’re on a plane and
you must turn off all wireless services, but you want to look at your calendar.
To turn the screen on, do one of the following:
• Slide out the keyboard.
• Press power . Drag up to unlock the screen.
* Power
To turn the screen off, press power .
To save power, the screen dims automatically after a period of inactivity and
then turns off. You can be on a call when the screen dims and turns off—this
does not affect the call. To brighten the screen after it dims, tap the screen.
Turn wireless services off (airplane mode)
Airplane mode turns off your phone as well as the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ®
wireless technology features. Use airplane mode when you are on a plane or
anywhere else you need to turn off all wireless services. You can’t browse
the web, but you can still use apps like Calendar, Contacts, Photos, Music,
Doc View, and PDF View.
TIP You can also unlock the screen by dragging up from the gesture area across
the onscreen lock icon.
TIP You can set how long the screen stays on during a period of inactivity (see Set
the interval for turning the screen off automatically ).
