Making your first call
We recommend that you charge your Treo for a full three hours (or until
the LED is solid green) before using it for the first time.
1. Press and hold the Wireless Mode button
. You will hear a series of
ascending tones.
2. If a Welcome screen appears, follow the onscreen instructions to set up
your Treo.
3. Allow the Treo to complete a network search. The search may take several
seconds. When it is complete, the network status icon
appears in the
upper right.
4. If prompted for a PIN, enter it on the PIN screen. The default PIN is
often 1234. Otherwise, your mobile service provider may have given you
some documentation with this information. Contact your mobile service
provider for help.
5. Press Phone
.
6. Using the number pad on the Treo keyboard, type the desired phone
number.
7. Press Center to dial.
8. When your call is complete, use the 5-way navigation control to
choose Hang Up.
Turning Treo on and off
You can use the Palm OS features of your Treo independently of the
wireless features and applications. Therefore, the screen and Wireless
Mode are designed to be turned off and on separately.
Turning the screen on and off
1. Press the Screen button
to turn on the screen.
2. Briefly press the Screen button
to turn off the screen.
Turning Wireless Mode on and off
Wireless Mode allows your Treo to connect to a mobile network so that
you can make and receive phone calls and use other wireless services.
1. Press and hold the Wireless Mode button
to turn on Wireless Mode.
You will hear a series of ascending tones. When Wireless Mode is on,
your Treo connects to a mobile network, and you can use the phone
and Internet features (if supported by the local network).
2. Press and hold the Wireless Mode button
again to turn off Wireless
Mode. You will hear a series of descending tones. When Wireless Mode
is off, your Treo does not have a connection to any mobile network. You
can still use the organizer and other Palm OS features. This is ideal for
airplane flights and for maximizing battery life.

If No Service appears in the
upper left, you are out of a
wireless coverage area. If
you believe you are in a
wireless coverage area and
this problem persists, contact
your mobile service provider
for assistance.
If the Welcome screen does
not appear, recalibrate the
touchscreen. This ensures
that the screen responds
accurately to taps (see
page 133).
