Palm Pre Plus - Manual (Page 14)

14 Chapter 2 : Basics
Set up your phone
Complete setup
1 Press and hold the power button on the upper-right corner of your
phone until you see the Palm ® logo on the screen (approximately five
seconds).
2 Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup.
3 To create a Palm profile, enter a working email address and select and
answer a security question (see
What is a Palm profile? ).
NOTE If you have a Palm profile from an old webOS phone that you no longer
use, you can enter that profile email address and username to download that
profile information to your new phone. But if you are still using the other phone,
you must create a new Palm profile for your Pre Plus phone—you can’t use the
same profile on two phones.
4 Your phone is ready to use. To learn how to make your first call, see
Make calls .
Verify your profile
After you finish setup, look for an email on your computer at the address you
used for your Palm profile. Click the link in the email to do the following:
• Verify your Palm profile.
• Follow a link to learn about getting data like contacts and appointments
onto your phone from your desktop organizer software (see
Data
transfer ).
What is a Palm profile?
Your Palm profile gives you the following benefits:
• Automatic system and software updates are sent to your phone.
• A Palm profile account is automatically created for you on your phone. In
this account you can store Contacts and Calendar info that you don’t store
in online accounts like Google or Exchange.
NOTE You cannot access Palm profile data on the profile website. You can access
the data on your phone only.
• Info stored in your Palm profile account, as well as info you have in
applications on your phone (like Memos and Tasks), is automatically
backed up to servers administered by Palm.
• If your phone is lost or stolen, you can do a remote erase of the info on the
phone.
NOTE If you want to erase data on your phone while you are still in possession of
the phone—for example, before you give it to someone else—don’t do a remote
erase. Instead, do a partial or full erase of the phone itself (see
Erase data and reset
your phone ).
For detailed information about your Palm profile, see Backup .
Although you create a Palm profile by entering a valid email address, setting
up a Palm profile is different from setting up email on your phone. To set up
email, see
Set up email . To change your Palm profile information after you
have set it up, see Update your Palm profile settings .
Charge the battery
When the battery is very low, the battery icon in the upper-right corner
of the screen changes to red. When the battery is fully charged, the icon
appears full and changes to green .
TIP If you don’t see the confirmation email in your Inbox, check your spam mail
folder in your desktop email program.
