Common Questions
Why can't I find an icon on the Home screen?
• Tap the pick list in the upper-right corner of the Home screen and select All. You may need to
scroll down a bit, but you should now see an icon for each of the applications on your handheld.
• Some of the applications that come with your handheld are not preinstalled. You need to install
these extra applications from the CD.
How do I save my info?
Each time you complete an entry such as a contact, memo, or note, your handheld automatically
saves the information you entered. You don't have to do anything special to save your info. To
protect your info and create a backup of your info, we recommend that you synchronize your
handheld with your computer often.
How do I know when I need to recharge my handheld?
A battery gauge appears at the top of the Home screen. Check the gauge periodically to
see if your handheld needs to be recharged. If the battery becomes low, a message appears on the
screen prompting you to recharge the battery.
Will I lose all my information if the battery becomes drained?
If the battery is drained to the point that you cannot turn on your handheld, your information is
safely stored for close to a week. In this case, there is enough residual energy in the battery to
store the information but not enough to turn on your handheld. If your handheld does not turn on
when you press the power button, you should recharge it immediately, for a few hours.
How often should I recharge my handheld?
We recommend that you recharge your handheld for at least half an hour every day. Ideally,
connect your handheld to a power source every night and recharge it while you sleep. Also, you
can conserve battery life by doing any of the following:
