with
the
screen
facing
down.
2.
Align
the

click.
Tuming
Simon
On
and
Off
Orce

is
ready
to
use.
This
would
be
a
good
time
to
put
Simon in
the
protective
case.
The
case,
in
addition
to
giving protection,
is
also
a
good
place
to
keep
your

off,
slide
the
On/Off
(Resume/Suspend)

you
will
not
lose
your
data
when

suspend (turn
off)
Simon.
lf
you
don't
use

for
five
minutes,
it
automatically
suspends (turns
off). (you
may
increase
this
time
to 10
or 1S
minutes
using
the
System feature
from
the
Mobile
Office
screen.)
When
you
are
ready
to
use
Simon
again,

screen
anywhere to turn the
backlight back on.
You
can use the
System feature
from the
Mobile Office screen to increase
the time
that the
backlight
will
stay on before it turns

Keep in
mind, though, that increasing
this time can
decrease the length of time that
your
battery will
last.
LCD
Contrast
Adjustment
Simon's LCD
screen
contrast
may change when
it
gets
hot or
cold.
lf this happens,
you
can adjust
your
LCD
contrast.
There

adjusting
screen
contrast. You
can touch the
System
icon
on
the Mobile
Office screen, select
Screen Settings, and move the
slider. Or,
you
can
press
and hold both volume
buttons on the
side of

press
one button
at a
time.
Press and release the volume-up
button to increase
the contrast, or the volume-down
button to
decrease
the contrast. After
you
adjust
contrast with this
method, wait a few seconds
before continuing to
work with
Simon.
Using
Your Touch
Sensitive
Screen

screen. To enter
numbers
and
letters, to
select buttons,
or
to
change
screens, touch the
desired feature
(number,

a
plastic
tip on one end for
using on
the
screen.
Getting Started
I
\
The
other
end has
a cap
covering
a
ball
point
pen.
Do not
use
the
ball
point pen
tip to touch
the
screen.
(From
here
on, the
term
stylus,
can also
mean
your
finger.)
You
can
slide the
stylus
across
the screen
until
the

highlights.
Then lift
the
stylus
to select
that
feature.

release
the
button, not
when
you
first
touch it.
Also,
touching
harder
will
not make
it work
better.
