came with your Treo, you can use other third-party headsets that are designed for 
this type of connector. When in doubt, ask the third-party headset manufacturer if 
their product is compatible with Treo phones. If you hear a headset buzz or poor 
microphone performance, your headset may be incompatible with Treo.
To hear in stereo through the jack (such as music), use a stereo adapter or other 
accessory. Visit
