Try each of these in turn:
• Press an application button to ensure your Acer s10 is
turned on.
• Tap the Contrast icon
Graffiti® writing area.
On the Contrast dialog box, adjust the contrast by
holding down the up scroll button for a few seconds. If
this doesn't work, hold the down scroll button for a few
seconds.
• If your Acer s10 was exposed to cold, make sure it is at
room temperature.
• Recharge the unit.
• Perform a soft reset. If your Acer s10 still doesn't turn on,
perform a hard reset. See "Resetting your Acer s10" on
page vi for instructions.
IMPORTANT: WIth a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your
Acer s10 are erased. Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does
not solve your problem. You can restore any data previously
synchronized with your computer during the next HotSync operation.
• Purge records from Date Book and To Do List. This deletes

memory of your Acer s10. See "Purging records" on page

You may need to perform a HotSync operation to recover
the memory. Refer to "11 Exchanging and updating data
using HotSync operations" on page 253.
• Delete unused memos and records. If necessary, you can
save these records. See "Deleting records" on page 55.
• If you have installed additional applications on your
Acer s10, remove them to recover memory. See "To
remove an add-on application" on page 40.
Your Acer s10 is designed to turn itself off after a period of
