1 Calculate how much space your apps

and info occupy on your previous Palm
OS device:

•

From Applications View, open the
menus.

•

Select Info on the App menu.

•

At the bottom of the screen, select
Size.

•

Look at the numbers on the Free
Space line and subtract the number
on the left from the number on the
right to calculate the space used. For
example, on the device shown here,
22.4 – 17.5 = 4.9. This means that
4.9MB of space is occupied on this
device.

2 If the space occupied on your previous

device is 60MB or less, then go to step
3. If the space occupied is greater than
60MB, then do any of the following to
reduce the storage space you’re using
before you go to the next step:

•

Delete any third-party applications
that you no longer use.

•

Move large files, such as eBooks and
images, to an expansion card.

TIP

If you have third-party applications on the

device you are upgrading from, you may want
to review the info in Upgrading that lists kinds
of apps you do not want to try to install on
your new device. The info in Upgrading is also
useful if you run into other problems during
the upgrade process.

TIP

Some third-party utilities allow you to back

up your old device’s information onto an
expansion card and then transfer the info to
your Treo 755

smartphone. We do not

recommend this method because any
incompatible applications are also transferred
to your smartphone.
