• Check the signal-strength icon. If the signal is weak, try to find an
area with better coverage (see Signal strength is weak ).

If you’re using a hands-free device enabled with Bluetooth ® wireless
technology, try the following:
• Move your phone closer to the hands-free device. Audio quality degrades
as the distance between your phone and the hands-free device increases.
The effective range for a hands-free device varies among manufacturers.
• Confirm that no obstructions, including your body, are between the phone
and your hands-free device. For example, move your phone to the same
side of your body as your hands-free device.
My phone seems to turn off by itself
Your phone has a power-saving feature that’s set to turn off the screen if it
has been idle for one minute. You can change the auto-shut off interval (see
Set the interval for turning the screen off automatically ).
If you restart your phone, wireless services, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, are
automatically turned on if they were on before the restart. However, if the
phone can’t determine if a wireless service was on before the restart, that
service does not automatically turn on (see
Turn the phone on/off ).
If the problem persists and you’re using third-party applications, see
Third-party applications for additional suggestions.
Hands-free devices
I can’t make or receive calls using a Bluetooth ® hands-free
device
Verify all of the following:
• The Bluetooth feature is turned on (see Turn the Bluetooth feature on/off ).
• Your Bluetooth hands-free device is charged and turned on.
• You have already formed a partnership between your phone and your
hands-free device, and the hands-free device appears in the Devices list
(see
Connect with a paired device ).
• Your phone is within range of the hands-free device. Bluetooth range is up
to 30 feet (10 meters) in optimum environmental conditions, which
include the absence of obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic
equipment, and other factors.
• You are away from other devices using the 2.4GHz radio frequency, such
as cordless phones and microwaves. If this is impossible, move the phone
closer to the hands-free device.
• The hands-free device is compatible with your phone. Go to palm.com/
support to see a list of supported devices.
I lost the connection between my phone and my Bluetooth
headset
If your headset isn’t working, delete the existing partnership (see Delete a
device ) and create a new one (see Set up and use a Bluetooth ® hands-free
device ).

• Try moving your phone closer to the hands-free device. Audio quality
