you cannot send them out directly from your organizer; rather, you
must first synchronize your organizer with your computer. At that
time, e-mail items you created in Mail are transferred to your desktop
E-Mail application and sent out through that application. Mail does
not use the transmitter or the Palm.Net wireless communication
service. See Chapter 6 for complete information about Mail.
The iMessenger application is independent of your computer
The iMessenger application is a wireless feature. By taking advantage
of the wireless capability of your organizer, the iMessenger
application enables you to send and receive messages even though
you may be miles away from any desktop computer. You work only
with your organizer to create, send, receive, and otherwise manage
messages. Synchronizing with your computer does not transfer
iMessenger messages to your desktop E-Mail application.
Opening the iMessenger application
1. Raise the antenna, located on the right side of your organizer.
Raising the antenna automatically opens the Applications
Launcher to the Palm.Net category. When the transmitter suc-
cessfully connects to the network, your organizer beeps.
2. Tap the iMessenger icon .
Tip: You can set your organizer to open the iMessenger application
directly whenever you raise the antenna. See “Buttons
preferences” in Chapter 8 for details.
To ensure the best reception: If
you are holding the organizer
in your hand, raise the antenna
to its position at 135
° , located
at the second click you feel as
you raise the antenna. If the
organizer is on a flat surface,
raise the antenna to its position
at 90
° .
