Moving around on your
Palm® Treo™ 680 smart device
Have you ever been to a new city and felt a bit lost until you
figured out that the numbered streets run north/south and the
avenues run east/west? Learning to move around on your
Treo 680 is similar. Most Palm OS® applications use the same
set of controls. So once you learn how to use these controls on
your Palm® Treo™ 680 smart device, you’ll be driving all over
town and you won’t even need a map.

The Phone application is your home base for making and receiving calls
and for storing info about the people you need to stay in touch with.
You can creatively manage multiple calls, such as swapping between
calls, sending text messages to ignored calls, and creating conference
calls with up to five callers. Your Palm® Treo™ 680 smart device helps
you perform all these tasks with ease.
And you can do more than manage your phone calls, too. You can send
text messages, open applications, go to your favorite web pages, see
your upcoming appointments, and even find out how many unread
email messages you have.

Synchronization is a great way to transfer, update, and back up
info on your Palm® Treo™ 680 smart device. Synchronizing
simply means that info you entered or updated in one place
(your Treo or your computer) is automatically updated in the
other. There’s no need to enter info twice.
Expansion cards (sold separately) provide a compact and
limitless storage solution. When one card becomes full, simply
use another card to carry your extra music and video clips and
to install and run cool games and other software, from
dictionaries to travel guides.
