•You can choose which desktop software you want to use for synchronization: Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook.

TIP To download a trial version of Microsoft Outlook and learn about discount offers go to:

www.palm.com/mypalm/755pverizon-bonus.

NOTE If you use Microsoft Outlook as your desktop email application, select Microsoft Outlook as your desktop synchronization software. If you select Microsoft Outlook, Palm Desktop software still installs on your computer. When you enter information on your computer, be sure to enter your information in Microsoft Outlook, not in Palm Desktop software.

2Plug the USB sync cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub on your computer.

TIP For best performance, plug your sync cable directly into a USB port on your computer. If your computer has USB ports on both the front and back, we suggest using the back port; the front port is often a low-power port. If you use a USB hub, make sure the hub has its own power supply.

3With the sync button facing up, connect the sync cable to the bottom of your smartphone. Do not press the sync button until you are instructed to do so.

4Connect the charger cable to the bottom of your smartphone.

•When the install process prompts you to connect your smartphone to your computer, go to Connecting your Treo smartphone to your computer.
