IMPORTANT Use the battery that came with your Centro. Do not use a battery from another Centro model in your Centro. Similarly, do not use the Centro battery in another Centro model. Using a battery that is designed for another Centro model can damage your Centro. For info on replacement batteries, see Replacing the battery.

NOTE Unauthorized batteries will not power your Centro. Only a Palm approved battery will wake up and power your Centro. If your Centro does not turn on, check to see whether an unauthorized battery has been inserted in your Centro.

8Slide the battery door onto the back of the Centro until it clicks into place.

9Your Centro screen wakes up and begins the setup process. When the language selection screen appears, select the language you want to use, and then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your Centro.

IMPORTANT Always use the same language for your Centro, your computer operating system, and your desktop

synchronization software. Otherwise, you may lose information or have difficulty with synchronization. Support is not provided for mismatched language setups.

NOTE If the correct battery is inserted and your Centro still does not turn on, you need to connect it to the AC charger. Make sure the AC charger is plugged in to a wall outlet. If your Centro still does not turn on after being connected to the AC charger for five minutes, do a soft reset. See Performing a soft reset.

TIP The power-saving feature turns off the Centro screen after a period of inactivity. To wake up the screen, press and release Power/End, and then press Center on the 5-way to turn off Keyguard.
