2. Press the function-contrast key. If the Contrast dialog box appears,
adjust the contrast by holding down the function-up arrow key for
a few seconds. If this doesn't work, hold the function-down arrow
key for a few seconds.
3. Make sure the battery is properly charged.
4. Perform a soft reset. Use the tip of the stylus (or similar object
without a sharp tip) to gently press the reset button on the back of
Dana.
5. If Dana still doesn't turn on, perform a hard reset by holding down
the on/off key while doing a soft reset. Wait for the Palm logo to
appear, then release the on/off key. If you want to continue and
erase all your data, press the up arrow key.
Important: With a hard reset, all records and entries
stored in Dana 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. See the
Dana User's Guide for instructions on restoring your
data.

The first step in diagnosing HotSync problems is to determine if Dana
and the computer are able to communicate with each other.
1. Connect the USB cable to Dana.
2. Confirm that HotSync Manager is running and enabled on the
computer.
Windows
On the Windows desktop, double-click the Palm Desktop icon, click
the HotSync icon on the taskbar and make sure Local USB is checked
on the menu. If not, click it to insert a check mark.
