Customizing Service Templates
You can create your own service templates from scratch or duplicate existing templates and edit the information. If you use one
of the predefined service templates, you probably only need to enter your user name and telephone number. If you create a new
service template, you may have to provide additional information.
To create a new service template:
1. Tap the
Applications Launcher (Home) icon; then tap the Prefs icon.
2. In the upper right corner of the Preferences screen, tap
Network.
3. Tap the
Menu icon.
4. Tap
Service, and then tap New.
A new service template (called Untitled) is added to the Service pick list.
To duplicate an existing service template:
1. Tap the
Applications Launcher (Home) icon; then tap the Prefs icon.
2. In the upper right corner of the Preferences screen, tap
Network.

Service pick list. Tap the predefined service template you want to dupli-
cate.

correct connection type.

• CSLIP for Compressed Serial Line Internet protocol
4. Tap the Idle Timeout pick list to specify how long your handheld waits to drop
your connection when you switch out of a TCP/IP application, and select
Im-
mediate, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, or Never (until the power is off

The
Never option works best with the Palm
™
