Setting up your computer, System requirements | Palm Treo 755P

Look here for your phone number

TIP If your phone number doesn’t appear in Phone Info, turn your phone off and on again before you recheck Phone Info. If your phone number still doesn’t appear, contact your wireless service provider to confirm that your phone has been activated.

Setting up your computer

You need to install the desktop software and connect the sync cable so that you can synchronize the info on your computer and the info on your smartphone. You can use either Palm® Desktop software (included) or Microsoft Outlook® for Windows (sold separately) as your desktop software.

S E T T I N G U P

Synchronization means you can enter or change info on your smartphone or on your computer and then sync to automatically update the info in both places. There’s no need to enter the info twice. We strongly recommend that you sync your smartphone with your computer frequently to keep your info up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.

System requirements

Your computer should meet the following minimum system profiles:

•Windows 2000, XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Media Center Edition 2005

•32MB of available memory (RAM)

•170MB of free hard disk space
