Charging the Battery
The battery comes with a sufficient charge to complete the setup process and activate your phone. After activation, we recommend charging your device for three and a half hours to give it a full charge. See ???Maximizing Battery Life??? on page 18 for tips on maximizing the life of your device???s battery.

Setup Device
Tip: You can also charge your device by connecting it to your computer with the sync cable. You can do this with or without using the charger cable (see ???Connecting Your Palm Centro??? Smart Device to Your Computer??? on page 34). Keep in mind that it takes longer to charge the battery using the sync cable, and if your laptop isn???t plugged into a power source, it can drain the laptop???s battery.
The onscreen battery icon displays the power status:

Battery Life
Battery life depends on individual use. Consumption factors include signal strength, speakerphone use, and use of wireless features.
If the battery drains to the point where your device doesn???t turn on, the device stores your information safely until you recharge the battery. To avoid draining the battery, we recommend that you charge and synchronize your device every day, especially if you use the wireless features of your phone often.
Note: Using your device???s phone reduces the battery life. You can extend the battery life by turning off your device???s phone while using the organizer features. In any case, regular charging is recommended for optimal performance.
Maximizing Battery Life
You can increase the life of your device???s battery by following a few easy guidelines. Remember that battery life depends on how you use your device.
???Charge your device whenever you???re at your desk, or charge it overnight each day. The
???Your device???s wireless features (phone, email, messaging, Web, and any applications that use a Sprint Power Vision connection, such as Sprint TVsm) and media features (camera, media players, and games) consume more power than its organizer features. If you spend a lot of time using the wireless and media features, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.
???If you don???t plan to use the wireless features on your device for awhile, turn off your phone (see ???Turning Your Device???s Phone On and Off??? on page 55). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see ???Call Forwarding??? on page 71).
???As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your device searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, you may want to temporarily turn off your phone. While your phone is off, you can continue to use your device???s nonwireless features.
???Turn down the screen brightness (see ???Adjusting the Brightness??? on page 278).
???Decrease the settings in Power Preferences and turn off Beam Receive (see ???Optimizing Power Settings??? on page 287).
???Turn off the Bluetooth?? feature if you are not using it (see ???Connecting to a Bluetooth??

Getting Messages From Your Corporate Microsoft Exchange Server Onto Your Device
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync works with the Calendar, Contacts, and VersaMail applications on your device to directly access corporate groupware information on a Microsoft Exchange 2003 or 2007 server. Information in these applications is pushed using Microsoft Direct Push directly from the server to your device or wirelessly synchronizes directly with the server from your device without using a desktop computer.
A Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account interacts with your desktop software as follows:
???Microsoft Outlook: Information in Calendar, Contacts, and VersaMail on your device is pushed using Microsoft Direct Push or syncs with the server; it does not sync directly with Outlook on your desktop. However, if the server pushes information to or syncs with Outlook on your desktop, any information you enter in these applications on your device also appears in Outlook after the next server push or sync.
Note: Microsoft Direct Push is a feature provided by Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync that pushes email messages, Calendar events, meeting invitations, and updated contact information it receives onto your device.
???Palm?? Desktop software: Information in Calendar, Contacts, and VersaMail on your device does not sync with and does not appear in Palm Desktop software on your computer.
Information in other applications on your device, such as Tasks and Memos, continues to sync with and appear in the desktop software on your computer (Outlook or Palm Desktop).
For complete information on using a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, see the User Guide for the VersaMail Application located on your Palm Software Installation CD, or visit

You can create a list of Bluetooth devices that you trust to communicate with your Centro device. When communicating with trusted devices, your Centro device skips the discovery process and creates a secure link as long as the device is within range. Bluetooth range is up to 30 feet (10 meters) in ideal conditions. Performance and range are affected by physical obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.

Important: For your Centro device to be visible to other Bluetooth devices, the Bluetooth setting must be set to On, and visibility must be set to Visible or Temporary. Your Centro device screen does not need to be turned on. If you are requesting a connection with another device, or if you are accepting a request from a trusted device, your Centro device can be set to any of the Visibility options.

We recommend that, where possible, you make up a passkey of 16 alphanumeric characters (letters and numerals only) to improve the security of your Centro device. The longer the passkey, the more difficult it is for the passkey to be deciphered.

Time Zones and Events
Here are some important points to keep in mind when assigning a time zone to an event:
???Palm Desktop software does not recognize time zones. If you sync with Palm Desktop software, you can add time zones to your events, but the start and end times do not change in Palm Desktop if you go to a different time zone.
???If you use Microsoft Outlook, you can use the time zone feature, but you must install the conduit that came with your Centro smart device by Palm (that is, you must install the desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD and select to sync with Outlook) on all the computers you synchronize your device with. Chapura PocketMirror and other earlier Microsoft Outlook conduits do not support time zones.
???To automatically assign a time zone to your events, open the Options menu, select Preferences, and check the New events use time zones box. All your new events are assigned to your local time zone, and you can change this setting for individual events. In addition, if you sync with Outlook and you select the time zone option on the Calendar conduit sync screen, then time zones sync for any new events you create in Outlook. Time zone settings are not added to any events that you created before you set these time zone settings.
???If you want your events with time zones to stay at the same time in Calendar, regardless of the time zone you are in, go to Date & Time Preferences, select the Automatically set pick list, and then select either Nothing or Date & Time. If you select Date, time and time zone from the Automatically set pick list, the event time shifts if you travel to a different time zone. See ???Setting the Date and Time??? on page 285 for information.
