Maintaining Your Handheld

Your handheld is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide you with
years of trouble-free service. Taking care of your handheld helps keep it working
properly and ensures that it’s available when you need it.

Handheld do’s and don’ts

To protect your handheld from damage and ensure reliable performance, follow these guidelines.

Handheld do’s

• Be sure to get rid of any static electricity buildup before you connect your handheld to any cable

or accessory.

• Use the carrying case that came with your handheld. It provides protection if your handheld is

accidentally dropped.

• Use only the stylus to tap the screen—no pens, pencils, paper clips, or other sharp objects.

• Use only the supplied AC charger to charge your handheld.

• Keep the battery charged

• Keep the screen free of dust (or anything else that could make it dirty).

• For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. If the screen becomes dirty, use a soft cloth

moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.

• Use only 3.5mm stereo headphones in your handheld’s headphone jack.

CHAPTER 27 Maintaining Your Handheld

Handheld don’ts

• Do not drop, bang, or otherwise cause a strong impact to your handheld.

• Do not carry your handheld in your back pocket; you might sit on it by mistake.

• Do not let your handheld get wet; don’t even leave it in a damp location.

• Do not expose your handheld to very hot or cold temperatures, including placing it near a

heater, leaving it in a car, or setting it by a window in direct sunlight.

Resetting your handheld

On rare occasions your handheld may not respond when you press a button or tap the screen. In
this case, you need to reset your handheld.

Doing a soft reset

A soft reset tells your handheld to stop what it’s doing and start over again. None of your
information will be lost. After a soft reset, a screen appears that lets you reset the date and time, if
needed.

CHAPTER 27 Maintaining Your Handheld

To do a soft reset, use the tip of the stylus to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the
back panel of your handheld.

If your handheld does not respond after a soft reset, you need to do a hard reset.
