Read This First in your handheld package to set up your handheld and install the software on your computer and your handheld.
This guide tells you everything you need to know to start using your handheld— from the things you’ll do every day, to the things that make your handheld not only useful, but fun.
Here are some helpful tips for making it easier to read and find information in this guide as you view it in Adobe Reader:
•To magnify the page, click the magnifying glass , move the cursor (which is now a magnifying glass) over the page, and click repeatedly. Click Previous View ( or depending on your version of Reader) to return to the original view.
•Click an entry in the Table of Contents or Index to go directly to that section of the guide.
•If you link to a page in the guide, to return to the page you were on before you clicked the link, click Previous View ( or depending on your version of Reader).
•When selecting the page(s) to print, be sure to use the file page number shown at the bottom of your computer screen, not the printed page number. For example, to print the page you are reading right now, select page 7 (the file page), not page vii (the printed page).

Did You Know?
Your handheld package includes a sticker that shows the most common Graffiti 2 characters.
Tip
Display the Graffiti 2 help screens at any time. Just draw a single stroke from the bottom of the input area to the top of your handheld’s screen.
There are several ways to enter information on your handheld. The most popular methods are using Graffiti 2 writing, using the onscreen keyboard, and using Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook on a computer. The next few pages briefly describe these three methods.
Graffiti 2 writing is a special set of letters, numbers, and symbols that you can use to write directly on the screen. With only a few minutes of practice, you can learn to use Graffiti 2 writing—and help is always only a tap away.
