First things first

Maintaining your Acer handheld

This section provides information on the following:

• Proper care and usage of your handheld

• Resetting your handheld

Proper care and usage of your handheld

Your handheld’s rugged and tough construction is designed to provide you with years

of reliable and trouble-free service. Observing the following general maintenance

procedures will help ensure this:

Take care not to scratch the screen of your handheld. Keep the screen clean. When

working with your handheld, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended

for use with touch-sensitive screens. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp

object on the screen surface.

Your handheld is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture.

Under extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry through the front panel

buttons. In general, treat your handheld as you would a pocket calculator or other

small electronic device.

Take care not to drop your handheld or subject it to any strong impact. Do not place

your handheld in your back pocket; if you sit on it, you may damage it.

Protect your handheld from temperature extremes. For example, do not leave your

handheld on the dashboard of a car on a hot day or on a day when temperatures are

below the freezing point. Also, keep it away from heaters and other sources of heat.

Do not use or store your handheld in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or

wet.

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your handheld. If the surface of the screen becomes

soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with diluted window-cleaning solution.

Battery considerations

Please note the following considerations for the battery in your handheld.

• Under normal conditions, your handheld battery should remain charged by

placing it in the cradle for just a few minutes each day. You can conserve

battery life by minimising the use of the backlight feature and changing the

the Auto-off setting that automatically turns off the handheld after a period

of inactivity. For more information on the Auto-off setting, refer to "Setting

the Auto-off interval time" on page 247.

• If the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert appears on

the handheld screen indicating low battery status. If this alert appears,

perform a HotSync operation to back up your data; then leave your handheld

in the cradle to recharge the unit. This will prevent accidental data loss.

• If the battery drains to the point where your handheld does not operate, it

stores your data safely for about a week. In this case, there is enough residual

energy in the battery to store the data, but not enough to turn on your

handheld. If your handheld does not turn on when you press the power

button, you should recharge your unit immediately.

• If your battery drains and you have the unit in an uncharged state for an

extended period of time, you can lose all the data stored in it.

First things first

Assigning security options

• There are no serviceable parts inside your handheld so do not attempt to

open the unit.

• If you ever dispose of your handheld, please dispose it without damaging the

environment. Take your handheld to the nearest environmental recycling

center.

Assigning security options

The Security application in your handheld lets you set options to protect entries from

unauthorised users in a variety of ways:

The security application lets you:

• Mask or hide entries you have defined as private.

– The Mask option displays a gray bar over private records.

– The Hide option completely hides private records.

• Assign a password to viewing options to enhance security.

– Assigning a password requires you to enter a password before private

entries can be viewed.

– Not assigning a password lets you view private entries when you select

Show Records from the Security dialog box.

• Lock and turn off your handheld so that a password must be entered before

you can use the device again.

• Hide records that you have defined as private, with or without a password.

– Without a password, private records are hidden until you set the Security

application to display them.

– With a password, you must enter the password to view the private

entries.

For more information on how to set these security features, refer to "Security" on

page 16.
