Using Expansion CardsThe expansion slot on your Treo enables you to add Secure Digital (SD) cards and 
MultiMedia Cards (MMC) to extend the storage capacity of your Treo. Although SD 
cards are faster than MMC cards for reading and writing data, you can use either 
type of expansion card to store:
PicturesMP3 audio filesGameseBooksApplicationsDatabases... and more.
Although expansion cards are sold separately, your Treo includes a mock, 
non-functional card inside the expansion slot. When you do not have a functioning 
card inside the expansion slot, reinsert the mock card to protect the slot opening. 
Inserting and Removing Expansion CardsWhen you insert an expansion card, the card name appears as a category with a 
card icon next to the name. To switch between the applications on the expansion 
card and your phone, choose the category pick list in the upper-right corner, then

System Sound SettingsYou can immediately silence all sounds on your Treo, including phone ring tones, 
Calendar alerts, and system sounds. If the ringer switch is set to no sound, the 
ringer setting overrides the sound settings and all sounds are turned off. This does 
not, however, mute the speaker on your Treo during a phone call.
1.Slide the ringer switch to Sound Mode Off .
2.To hear all sounds again, slide the ringer switch to Sound Mode On .
When you slide the ringer switch, it does not affect the software settings for the 
sounds on your Treo. For example, if the Phone ring volume is set to 7, sliding the 
ringer switch to Sound Mode Off does not change this setting, but you will not 
hear the phone ring because of the ringer switch position. Your Treo includes a 
silent alarm that vibrates when the ringer switch is set to Sound Mode Off.
