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 will still be installed on your computer. When you enter information on your computer, be sure to enter your information in Microsoft Outlook, not in Palm Desktop software.

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

Connecting your Treo smartphone to your computer

1If necessary, connect the international adapter to the AC charger plug.

2Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.

3Plug the USB sync cable into an available USB port or into 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.

4With 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.

5Connect the charger cable to the bottom of your smartphone.
