smartphone use the same set of controls. So once you learn
how to use these controls, you’ll be driving all over town and
you won’t even need a map.

controls are located

Moving around the
screen
To move around the Palm® Treo™ 700wx
smartphone screen, you can use the 5-way
navigator or you can tap items on the touch
screen with the stylus. As you become
familiar with your smartphone, you’ll find
your own favorite way to scroll, highlight,
and select items.
TIP Some third-party applications may not
work with the 5-way navigator; therefore you
may be required to use your stylus instead.
TIP The arrow icons that indicate directions on
the 5-way are different from the onscreen
scroll arrows and the arrows that indicate that
a list is available (see “Selecting options in a
list” on page 16).

After highlighting an item with the 5-way,
you can select or activate it by pressing
Center
or by tapping the item with the
stylus.
Highlighting and selecting items
TIP The best way to learn to use the 5-way is
to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons and as
you do, follow the movement of the border
glow around the screen. The behavior of the
5-way varies slightly in each application.
On most screens, one item—a button, a
list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by
default. The highlight identifies which item
is affected by your next action. Use the
5-way to move the highlight from one item
to another before opening or selecting it.

TIP When using the keyboard, most people
find it easiest to hold the smartphone with
two hands and to use the tips of both thumbs
to press the keys.
By default, the first letter of each sentence
or field is capitalized and the remaining text
you enter is lowercase. To enter other
uppercase letters, do one of the following:

consumes power. If you cannot move to
an area of better coverage, temporarily
turn off your phone (see “Turning your

•
If you spend a lot of time using the
camera, games, media players, eBooks,
or other applications, keep an eye on
the battery icon and charge when
necessary.

•
Turn down the screen brightness (see
“Adjusting the brightness” on
page 106).
Your smartphone’s wireless features
(phone, email, messaging, and web)
generally consume more power than
the organizer features. If you don’t plan
to use the wireless features on your
smartphone for a while, turn off your
wireless services (see “Turning

You can forward calls to a different
number or let all calls be picked up by

IMPORTANT Depending on where you are
on a wireless network with certain
coverage conditions, you might experience
interruptions with your phone operation
while using a Wi-Fi card (you must
purchase and install a third-party Wi-Fi card
to use this feature). Palm recommends that
you turn off the phone radio when using
any Wi-Fi card with your smartphone or
remove the Wi-Fi card when not in use to
ensure that you can always make and
receive phone calls. For EMERGENCY
calls, always remove the card from your
smartphone to ensure optimal connectivity.
Your phone is on. The bars display

values between different model smartphones do not mean variations
in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
Regulatory
Information
The highest reported (FCC) SAR values of the Palm® Treo™ 700wx
smartphone are:
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Smartphones
Maximum Scaled SAR Values (W/kg)
Band
CDMA Cellular
CDMA PCS
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
Head SAR
(Held to Ear)
(W/Kg)

(W/Kg)
1.26
The SAR value of a smartphone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much
RF the smartphone emits. All smartphone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the
SAR of a smartphone can be substantially less than the level reported
to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its
proximity to a base station antenna, smartphone design and other
factors. What is important to remember is that each smartphone
meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
