use the stylus to tap on icons on your G18 touch-screen. Tapping is the
basic action used to execute tasks on your G18.
IMPORTANT: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or
making strokes on the G18 screen. Never use a ballpoint pen, pencil, or
any other sharp object to write on the G18 screen.
4. Starting G18 and calibrating its screen
The first time you start the G18, setup instructions appear onscreen. These
instructions include a calibration screen, or digitizer. Calibration aligns the
internal circuitry of the G18 with its touch-sensitive screen so your G18
can detect the task you want to perform when you tap an element on the
screen.
To calibrate your screen:
1.Tap the Applications icon, and then tap Prefs.
2.In the pick list in the upper right corner of the screen, tap Digitizer.

16.Installing add-on applications
Graffiti 2 tips
When using Graffiti 2 writing, keep the following tips in mind:
• For greater accuracy, draw letters with large strokes; strokes that
nearly fill the text input area are easily interpreted.
• To delete characters, set the insertion point to the right of the
character you want to delete, and draw the Backspace stroke (a line
from right to left) in the text input area.
• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can produce errors.
• Do not write at a slant. Keep vertical strokes parallel to the sides of
the text input area.
• When letters and numbers can be written using two different
strokes, use the one that’s easiest for you.
• Press firmly.
16.Installing add-on applications
Many applications such as Date Book, Address Book,To Do List
and Note Mail are pre-installed for your convenience, you can use them
without extra installation.

such as games and other software.
Install Tool makes the installation easy when you are using
Hotsync. Many third-party applications can also be installed in the Palm
OS G18.
1.From your computer desktop, copy or download the applications
you want to install into the add-on folder in your Palm Desktop
directory.
Note: If the application is compressed, for example, *.zip file,
uncompress the application into the add-on folder before continuing. To
save your application to other directories, browse to that directory before
you finish step 5. Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on your computer
desktop to open it; then click Install.

19.IR HotSync operations
11.Then tap the "HotSync" icon .
19.IR HotSync operations
Your G18 is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the IrCOMM
implementation of the standards for infrared communication established by
the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that you can beam data
to any other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA
standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync
operations. You don’t need a HotSync cable to do this. This is very useful if
you travel with an infrared-enabled laptop. You simply enable infrared
communication on your laptop and G18 and follow the steps in
“Performing an IR HotSync operation” later in this section.
Preparing your computer for IRDA communication
Before you can perform a HotSync operation using the IR port, the
computer you want to synchronize with must meet the following
requirements:
• The computer must support the IrCOMM implementation of the
IrDA standards.
• The computer must have an enabled infrared port built-in, or an
enabled infrared device attached to the computer. Desktop
computers are likely to require an infrared device attached to a
physical COM port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR port.
• Your desktop computer will need to have an installed driver for the
external infrared device .For driver installation, please browse the
user manual of the IR device .
Please also check the manual of your computer and determine whether
your computer supports infrared communication.
Configuring HotSync Manager for IRDA communication
The HotSync Manager now needs to be configured and the port specified
for infrared communication.
G18 Quick Reference Manual 26
Page 32
Section 1: Introduction to Palm functions
19.IR HotSync operations
To configure HotSync Manager for infrared communication:
1.Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray. Make sure
"Infrared" option is selected.If you can't see "Infrared" option in the
function list of HotSync Manager,please follow the steps as bellow.
2.Make sure "Local Serial" is checked on the menu.
3.Choose “Setup”.
4.Click the “Local” tab.
In the Serial Port drop-menu, select the COM port that was given as
the simulated port in the Options tab of the Infrared Monitor.
Performing an IR HotSync operation

terminals
After the installation of Desktop ,please pay attention to what is below:
If you are a fresh user, you can skip the following steps; if you are a former
palm OS user and you are using a G18 for the first time, use a new user
name at the Desktop, you can skip the following steps. But if you want the
data to be transferred from the previous database to G18, please follow the
methods and steps as below:
Method 1:
Synchronize using the previous Desktop user name and G18 directly. But
there is a note that the phone can’t be synchronized with the Desktop user
any longer. The detail of the steps is what as below:
1) Backup the user data.
For every Desktop user, the Palm Desktop will create a directory in the
installed directory. The directory, which stores all the user data, is known
as the user directory. For example, if the user name is Jack,and the installed
directory is "C:\Program Files\Palm",then the user data is stored at the
directory "C:\Program Files\Palm\Jack". Please backup all of the data in
the user directory to other directory, any other directory besides the new
user directory.
2)Delete all of the files in the Backup directory which is under the user
directory.
Note: Some documents in the Backup directory may possibly only be
usable by the previous phone, it is relative with the hardware and any
particular system software of the previous phone. Downloading them to
other incompatible phone or G18, may result in abnormal running of the
phone. In this case , please use method 3.
3) Synchronize.
