SYNCHRONIZING CONTACTS AND OTHER INFO
To synchronize your contacts and other personal information, you must first install the software 
from the CD that came with your smartphone and set up a connection between your computer 
and your smartphone. See the setup poster for instructions.
After you complete the setup process, each time you connect your smartphone to your computer 
it automatically synchronizes the items that are set to sync. You can customize the sync settings 
(see “Setting synchronization options” on page 73) or use the default settings to synchronize 
your info from the following applications:
1.  Connect your smartphone to your computer. You should 
hear the ActiveSync
®
 tone.
2.  Look for the ActiveSync icon 
 at the top of your 
smartphone’s screen and the ActiveSync icon 
 in the 
taskbar on your computer.
If you don’t see the ActiveSync icon, make sure the 
desktop synchronization software that came with your 
smartphone is running on your computer. 
If you have any problems synchronizing, see the 
electronic User Guide for troubleshooting suggestions.
NOTE
We recommend installing a backup program to preserve your data and settings if your smartphone is ever lost or 
stolen. A backup and restore program also protects your data during a hard reset. To download a free backup and restore 
program, visit www.palm.com/mytreo700wVerizon.
