CHAPTER SYNCHRONISING INFORMATION 5 TIP To charge your smartphone, connect the AC charger to the connector on the bottom of the smartphone. Your smartphone also charges when it is connected to your computer using the sync cable. DID YOU KNOW? When your smartphone is connected to your computer, it uses your computer's Internet connection (if one is active) to access the Internet. NOTE If you're transferring info from a previous Windows Mobile® device or from a Palm OS® by ACCESS device, you can learn more about how to move content, such as pictures, music, and files, to your smartphone by going to go.palm.com/ treo500v/.
