Sprint Music Manager Overview Transferring Music Files From Your Computer (Mac) Transferring Music Files From Your Computer (Windows) Transferring Music From a CD to Your Device
Listening to Music on Your Palm Centro Smart Device You can listen to music through the speaker on the back of your device, or through stereo headphones. To listen to music, you need to transfer music files from a desktop application such as Sprint Music Manager or Windows Media Player (Windows computers) or iTunes (Mac computers). You can then play the music files using the Pocket Tunes Deluxe application. Pocket Tunes Deluxe supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, and WMA DRM file formats.
From a Windows computer, you can transfer music files to your smart device or to an expansion card (sold separately). Mac users must transfer music files to an expansion card.

Section 4B: Music

Sprint Music Manager Overview
Sprint Music Manager is a Windows desktop application that keeps all your favorite tunes organized and available. Use Sprint Music Manager to purchase and download music from the Sprint Music Store, copy music files from a CD to your PC, and organize all your songs into playlists.
Sprint Music Manager is not supported on Mac computers. See Transferring Music Files From Your Computer (Mac) on page 204 for information on using a Mac to transfer music files.
This section includes the following topics: Sprint Music Manager Overview (below). Accessing the Quick Start Guide on page 197. Downloading and Purchasing Music From the Sprint Music Store on page 198. Playing Music With the Sprint Music Manager on page 199. Searching for Music Files on Your Computer on page 200.

Resetting Your Palm Centro Smart Device

Soft Reset

Performing a soft reset is similar to restarting a computer. If your Centro device is not responding or youre having trouble synchronizing with your computer, a soft reset may help. All your information is retained when you perform a soft reset. 1. Remove the battery from your device, and then reinsert it. (See Replacing the Battery on page 307 for details.)
The reset begins when you insert the battery and ends when the Date & Time Preferences screen appears.

2. Select Done.

System Reset
A system reset, also called a safe or warm reset, can be useful if your device loops or freezes during a soft reset. Performing a system reset allows you to get out of the loop and restores limited functionality to your device in order to uninstall a third-party application thats causing the problem. Note that after a system reset, you must perform a soft reset to restore full functionality, including the wireless features, to your device. 1. Remove the battery from your device. 2. Press and hold Up on the 5-way the Battery on page 307 for details.) while reinserting the battery. (See Replacing.
3. When Date & Time Preferences appears, release Up
4. Delete the third-party application that you suspect is causing the problem. 5. Perform a soft reset. (The wireless features of your device are not available until you complete this step.)

Hard Reset

A hard reset erases all information and third-party software on your Centro device. Never perform a hard reset without first trying a soft reset and a system reset. You can restore previously synchronized information the next time you synchronize.
Your device might not reestablish a Sprint Power Vision session after a hard reset. To manually establish a new Sprint Power Vision session, open the Web browser to access a Web site.

The following troubleshooting tips apply to the VersaMail application only. If you are using Sprint Mobile EmailSM as your email application, refer to the documentation included with that application for troubleshooting tips.
I Have Problems Using My Account Occasionally you may experience problems using an email account after you set it up. If you followed the account setup procedure and are experiencing problems using the account, verify that the account complies with your email providers requirements by following these steps: Verify both your password and your username for your email account. Section 7A: Help 321
Some wireless service providers require you to be on their network to use your email account. If this is the case, be sure to use your provider's network as the connection type for the account. Some email service providers have other requirements specific to their service. For example, Yahoo! requires you to pay for a POP account in order to download email messages from your Yahoo! account to your device. Check with your service provider to see if any provider-specific requirements exist. Service provider settings change frequently. If your email account was working but you are currently experiencing problems, check with your wireless or email service provider to see if any of the account settings have changed.
I Have Problems Sending and Receiving Email Short periods of time when email is unavailable are common due to server problems or poor wireless coverage. If you have problems sending or receiving mail for an extended period of time, check with your ISP or email service provider to verify that the service is working properly, and check with Sprint Customer Service for outage information in your area. Microsoft Direct Push or Auto Sync Is Not Working If push or an Auto Sync operation is occurring and you turn your devices phone off or the connection to your email service provider is disconnected, the push or Auto Sync operation fails. If Microsoft Direct Push or a scheduled Auto Sync doesnt take place or starts but does not finish, make sure your devices phone is on and that your data connection to your mail server or email service provider has not been interrupted. I Have Problems Sending Email If you are able to receive email messages but cannot send them, try these steps, in turn: Make sure your ISP or email provider allows you to access email on a wireless device. Several providers, like Hotmail, do not offer this option at all; other providers require an upgrade to access email on a wireless device.
