CHAPTER 2

Exploring Your Handheld

Your Palm™ Tungsten™ T handheld can help you stay organized, on time, and up-to-date with daily tasks while you are away from your desk. Use your new handheld to do the following:

■Enter your schedule in Date Book.

■Keep all your contact names, addresses, and phone numbers in Address Book.

■Prioritize and assign your tasks a due date in To Do List.

■Jot quick notes directly on the screen in Note Pad.

■Record thoughts and listen to them later in Voice Memo.

■Track your expenses and create expense reports in Expense.

■Set alarms from World Clock, Date Book, Note Pad, and Voice Memo to keep yourself on schedule and remind yourself of appointments and notes.

■Set preferences for how you receive alarms: hearing a sound, seeing a blinking indicator light, or feeling your handheld vibrate. Choose any combination.

■Synchronize your data with Palm™ Desktop software on your Windows or Mac computer so you always have a backup copy.

■Insert an SD or MultiMediaCard expansion card to add more software or memory, or to back up your data.

■Connect your handheld with a mobile phone to access the Internet and exchange e-mail messages.

■Share information with other devices that are Bluetooth-enabled or that have an infrared (IR) port.

When you install the software from the Software Essentials CD-ROM that comes with your handheld, your handheld can also help you stay in touch, play games, and access mobile office productivity tools. This additional software enables you to use your handheld to do the following:

■Play games with Bluetooth-enabled devices.

■Compose, send, and receive e-mail and SMS messages when you connect your handheld with a mobile phone (sold separately).

■Browse or search the Internet when you connect your handheld with a mobile phone (sold separately).
