NOTE If you already have a Palm profile, you can use the same email address and password to sign in to your new smartphone. This will sign you out of the Palm profile on the other device, restore your backed-up data to your new smartphone, and reinstall any apps you purchased from HP webOS App Catalog on your new smartphone. Alternately, if you want to keep using the Palm profile on a different device, you can create a new profile for your new smartphone and start fresh. You need to use another email address to do this. Only one smartphone can be associated with a Palm profile at a time.

Your smartphone is ready to use. To learn how to make your first call, see Make calls.

Verify your profile

After you finish setup, look for an email on your computer at the address you used for your Palm profile. If you don’t see the confirmation email in your Inbox, check your spam mail folder in your desktop email program. Click the link in the email to do the following:

•Verify your Palm profile.

•Follow a link to go to palm.com/gettingstarted, where you can watch short how-to videos, learn about transferring your information to your smartphone, and more.

What is a Palm profile?

Your Palm profile gives you the following benefits:

•Automatic system and software updates are sent to your smartphone.

•A Palm profile account is automatically created for you on your smartphone. 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 smartphone only.

•Info stored in your Palm profile account, as well as info you have in applications on your smartphone (like Memos and Tasks), is automatically backed up to the webOS servers.

•If your smartphone 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 smartphone.

NOTE If you want to erase data on your smartphone while you are still in possession of the smartphone—for example, before you give it to someone else— don’t do a remote erase. Instead, do a partial or full erase of the smartphone itself (see Erase data and reset your smartphone).

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 smartphone. To set up email, see Set up email. To change your Palm profile information after you have 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 .
