Turning your
smartphone on/off
The term smartphone refers to the device
and its physical aspects. The term phone
refers to the wireless feature of your Palm
®
Tre o
™
Pro smartphone that enables you to
connect to your wireless service provider’s
network so that you can make and receive
calls and send and receive data.
The phone and the screen of your
smartphone can be turned off and on
separately. This means you can wake up
the screen to use just the organizer
features of your device (Calendar,
Contacts, Tasks, Notes, and so on) without
turning on the phone. Also, when the
screen is turned off, the phone can be on
and ready for you to receive phone calls or
messages.
Turning your phone on
When you turn on your phone, it connects
to a mobile network so that you can make
and receive phone calls and use other
wireless services (if supported by the local
network).
BEFORE YOU BEGIN To use the phone,
you must have an active SIM card from
your wireless service provider inserted into
your smartphone (see Inserting the SIM
card and battery).
To turn on your phone, press and hold
Power .
When your smartphone locates a signal,
your wireless service provider’s name
appears in the upper-left of the screen and
the signal-strength icon appears at the
top of the screen.
When you are inside a coverage area, the
signal-strength icon has bars in it. If
you’re outside a coverage area, no bars
appear in the signal-strength icon.
