To activate the Palm.Net service:
1. Read the brochure, Choosing a Palm.Net Service Plan, included in the
handheld package, describing the monthly service plans. Decide
on a plan. (You can switch plans at any time.)
2. Prepare to enter the following information: your name, firm,
billing address, phone number, current desktop e-mail address,
choice of service plan, and credit card information (or corporate
account number).
During activation you are also asked to create a username and
a password. You can accept one of the usernames suggested by
the Activate application or create your own; it must be at least
3 characters long. Your password must be 4 to 15 characters
long.
3. Read the Palm.Net service agreement, located at the back of this
book.
4. After the transmitter finishes charging, raise the antenna on the
right side of your handheld by gently rotating it upwards.
5. Follow the instructions onscreen to activate the wireless
communication service.
Important: Be sure to record and remember the username and
password you create during activation. You need them
both to access information about your usage of the service
and your billing information. Your username is also part
of your address on the Palm.Net network — for example,
username
@
palm.net
.
To ensure the best reception: If
you are holding the handheld
in your hand, raise the antenna
to its position at 135
°
, located
at the second click you feel as
you raise the antenna. If the
handheld is on a flat surface,
raise the antenna to its position
at 90
°
.
