Upgrading from another Palm Powered™ device Always use the same language for your Treo, your operating system, and your desktop software. Otherwise, you may lose information or have difficulty with synchronization. Support is not provided for mix-andmatch language setups. Some third-party utilities allow you to back up your old device's information onto an expansion card, and then transfer the info to your Treo. We do not recommend this method because any incompatible applications are also transferred to your Treo. You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous device to your new Treo™ 650 smartphone. This includes your calendar events, contacts, memos, and to do items, as well as your application settings and any compatible thirdparty applications and files. During the installation, some third-party applications may be quarantined because they are not compatible with the Palm OS® software version 5.4 on your new Treo. Quarantined files are not installed on your Treo nor are they deleted; these files are placed in a new folder on your computer. 1. Calculate how much space your applications and info occupy on your old device. From the Applications Launcher (on some devices this is called the Home screen), open the menus. Select Info on the App menu. At the bottom of the screen, select Size. Look at the numbers on the Free Space line and subtract the number on the left from the number on the right to calculate the space used. For example, on the device shown here, 19.6 - 17.8 = 1.8. This means that 1.8MB of space is occupied on this device. 2. If the space occupied on your old device is less than 16MB, go to step 3. If more than16MB is occupied, then do any of the following to free up some space before you go to the next step: • Delete any third-party applications that you no longer use. • Move large files, such as eBooks and images to an expansion card. 162 :: Upgrading from another Palm Powered™ device

Upgrading from another Palm
Powered
device
You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous device
to your new Treo™ 650 smartphone. This includes your calendar events, contacts,
memos, and to do items, as well as your application settings and any compatible third-
party applications and files.
During the installation, some third-party applications may be quarantined because
they are not compatible with the Palm OS
®
software version 5.4 on your new Treo.
Quarantined files are not installed on your Treo nor are they deleted; these files are
placed in a new folder on your computer.
1.
Calculate how much space your applications and
info occupy on your old device. From the
Applications Launcher (on some devices this is
called the Home screen), open the menus. Select
Info on the App menu. At the bottom of the screen,
select Size. Look at the numbers on the Free
Space line and subtract the number on the left
from the number on the right to calculate the
space used. For example, on the device shown
here, 19.6 - 17.8 = 1.8. This means that 1.8MB of space is occupied on this device.
2.
If the space occupied on your old device is less than 16MB, go to step 3. If more
than16MB is occupied, then do any of the following to free up some space before
you go to the next step:
Delete any third-party applications that you no longer use.
Move large files, such as eBooks and images to an expansion card.
Always use the same
language for your Treo,
your operating system, and
your desktop software.
Otherwise, you may lose
information or have
difficulty with
synchronization. Support is
not provided for mix-and-
match language setups.
Some third-party utilities
allow you to back up your
old device’s information
onto an expansion card,
and then transfer the info
to your Treo. We do not
recommend this method
because any incompatible
applications are also
transferred to your Treo.
