Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup. To create a Palm
profile, enter a working email address and a password (see
). Be sure to make a note of your password and keep it in
a safe place.
NOTE
If you have a Palm profile from an old webOS phone that you no longer
use, you can enter that profile email address and username to download that
profile information to your new phone. But if you are still using the other phone,
you must create a new Palm profile for your XXX phone—you can’t use the same
profile on two phones.

What is a Palm profile?
Your Palm profile provides the following benefits:
•
Automatic system and software updates are sent to your phone.
•
A Palm profile account is automatically created for you on your phone. In
this account you can store Contacts and Calendar info that you don’t store
in online accounts like Google or Exchange.
NOTE
You cannot access Palm profile data on the profile website. You can access
the data on your phone only.
•
Info stored in your Palm profile account, as well as info you have in
applications on your phone (like Memos and Tasks), is automatically
backed up to servers administered by Palm.
•
Should your phone be lost or stolen, you can do a remote erase of the info
on the phone.
NOTE
If you want to erase data on your phone while you are still in possession of
the phone—for example, before you give it to someone else—don’t do a remote
erase. Instead, do a partial or full erase of the phone itself (see
).

TIP
If your phone does not turn on after you insert the battery and press and hold
power
, you need to connect your phone to the AC charger to charge it (see
).
TIP
If you don’t see the confirmation email in your Inbox, check your spam mail
folder in your desktop email program.
