Common Questions

Entering information

My handheld doesn't respond to taps correctly.
If your handheld is not responding to taps correctly, you need to align the screen.
When I tap Menu on the status bar, nothing happens.
• Tap the upper-left corner of the screen to try to open the menus.
• Align the screen and try tapping Menu again.
• If nothing happens, you may be in an application or screen that does not use menus. Switch to
a different application and try tapping Menu. If it works in the second application, then the first
does not use menus.
• If tapping Menu does not work in the second application, try aligning the screen again.
I can't get my handheld to recognize my handwriting.
For your handheld to recognize handwriting input with the stylus, you need to use Graffiti® 2
writing. Use the Graffiti 2 help to learn how to write characters.
NOTE
Your handheld recognizes strokes entered with the stylus other than Graffiti 2 strokes
in the Note Pad application only.
• Make the Graffiti 2 character strokes in the Graffiti 2 input area, not on the display part of the
screen. If you want to write on the display part of the screen, turn full-screen writing on.
• Write Graffiti 2 strokes for lowercase letters in the left side, strokes for capital letters in the
middle, and strokes for numbers in the right side of the Graffiti 2 writing area.
• Make sure that Graffiti 2 is not in shift mode or in Punctuation Shift mode.
