To set the system and alarm sounds:
1. Tap the System Sound pick list and select the sound level.
Note:
When you turn off the System Sounds, you also turn off 
the “chime” tones associated with the HotSync operation. 
2. Tap the Alarm Sound pick list and select the sound level.
3. Tap the Game Sound pick list and select the sound level.
Note:
The Game Sound setting works only with games that are 
programmed to respond to this setting. Older games 
typically do not respond to this setting. 
Network preferences and TCP/IP software
Network Preferences let you set a password, telephone number, DNS 
number, IP address, as well as create a login script for remote 
connections. You will need to set your Network Preferences and TCP/
IP settings to use a VisorPhone or a Springboard modem module with 
your handheld. You can use a preset service template for your ISP or 
dial-in server, and edit, save, and reuse settings. Or you can create 
your own service template.
The Network Preferences settings also enable you to use the TCP/IP 
software that is included in the handheld operating system. You can 
use the TCP/IP software to connect with Internet Service Providers 
(ISPs) or dial-in (remote access) servers. Because the TCP/IP software 
is a feature of the operating system, you configure all parameters 
relating to it from the Preferences application.
To use TCP/IP, you must first configure the Connection Preferences 
and then the Network Preferences settings. After you configure both 
of these Preferences, you can establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), 
SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol), or CSLIP (Compressed Serial Line 
Internet Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server. You can 
do this either by using menu commands from the Network 
Preferences screen or by using a third-party application. 
Note: TCP/IP provides the ability to connect to your ISP or dial-in
server with applications that allow you to view the 
transmitted data. Visit the web site www.handspring.com for 
information on third-party applications that take advantage of 
TCP/IP.
