Common Questions
What do I do if my handheld doesn't respond to taps correctly?
If your handheld is not responding to taps correctly, you need to align the screen.
What do I do if my handheld freezes?
On rare occasions your handheld may not respond when you press a button or tap the screen. In
this case, you need to reset your handheld. A soft reset tells your handheld to stop and start over
again. This does not affect any of the information or applications on your handheld.
Use the tip of the stylus (or similar object without a sharp tip) to gently press the reset button
inside the hole on the back panel of your handheld.
If a soft reset does not unfreeze your handheld, you need to perform a hard reset. For instructions
see the User Guide on the web.
Can I open my handheld?
No, do not open your handheld; there are no serviceable parts inside. Opening your handheld
voids the warranty and is not recommended under any circumstances.
