Palm Touchstone Technology

Palm^® Touchstone^™ Technology provides a simpler way for your phone to interact with other Palm accessories, offering new levels of functionality and convenience. For example, the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock allows connectionless charging of your Palm webOS^™ phone.

Palm Touchstone is based on inductive technology. Inductive coils inside the Touchstone Charging Dock generate a small, oscillating electromagnetic field and transmit it through the Touchstone Back Cover on your device. This allows you to charge your Palm webOS phone without connecting a wire directly to it.

As you place your device on the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock, it magnetically aligns in portrait or landscape mode, and charging begins. It's easier, more convenient, and it charges your phone in about the same amount of time as a standard power charger.

Palm Touchstone capabilities

Touchstone Technology intelligently communicates with your Palm webOS phone and enables Palm accessories to provide a new level of functionality:

• Place your phone on the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock when you're on a call and its speakerphone automatically turns on.¹


• Pick your phone up from the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock while you're on speakerphone and the conversation is automatically routed back to the earpiece.¹


• For incoming phone calls, simply pick up the phone from the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock and it answers automatically, without having to tap the screen.


• When your phone is not in use, Nightstand mode displays the time and incoming notifications while on the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock.

How are Touchstone accessories sold?

The Touchstone Charging Dock and Touchstone Back Cover can be purchased as a bundle or purchased individually. The Charging Dock requires the Back Cover to work, therefore purchasing the bundle is recommended.

Additional Charging Docks may be purchased to be placed in multiple locations in your home or office. Each additional Charging Dock requires its own Power Charger (sold separately).
