What you should know about your handheld’s battery

While your handheld is charging, take a minute to learn about the battery:

• If you see an alert on the screen warning you that the battery is low, synchronize information; then recharge your handheld. This helps prevent accidental loss of information.

In this case, there is enough power to store your information, but not to turn on your handheld. If your handheld doesn’t turn on when you press the power button, recharge it immediately for at least three hours.

• Conserve battery life by doing any of the following:

• Adjusting the screen brightness

• Reducing the Auto-off setting

• Preventing your handheld from turning on by accident

• Minimizing use of the expansion slot

Switching to another desktop software application

WINDOWS ONLY

Before You Begin

Synchronize your handheld with your current desktop software before switching to a new software application. This ensures that your new desktop software rec e ives the most current information.

During CD installation, you chose a deskt op software application to synchronize with your handheld. You may have chosen Palm Desktop software at that time. But if Microsoft Outlook already contains all of your contacts, appointments, tasks, and notes, you can change your synchronization me thod so that your handheld synchronizes with Outlook instead. You can also change from Outlook to Palm Desktop software.

If you choose to s ynchronize with Microsoft Outlook (Windows only), information from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos is synchronized with Outlook. Other information, such as photos and notes, is synchronized with Palm Desktop software.

1 Insert the CD into your computer. 2 Select Change your synchronization method. 3 Follow the onscreen instructions for the desktop software you want to use.

NOTE

Using Profiles

Suppose your sales organization w ant s to distribute tw o dozen ha ndhelds that all have a comm on company phone list, a set of memos, and se veral key applications. A user prof ile can be created t o install this information before the handhelds are distributed to employees. When the employees synchronize for the first time, this common information becomes part of their user-specific information.

A user profile enables you to install the same information onto multiple Palm OS handhelds before each handheld is individualized with a unique userna me and user-specific information. A handheld that has a user profile installed can be given to anyone, because the handheld is not yet identified by a unique username. When the new user synchronizes for the first time, he or she gives the handheld a unique username.

Handhelds that are synchronized with a user profile must be either new ones that have never been synchronized or handhelds that have had their usernames and information removed by a hard reset.

Keys to success with Graffiti 2 writing

Keep these guidelines in mind when using Graffiti 2 writing:

Did You Know?

Graffiti 2 characters made with 2 strokes are recogniz ed after the second stroke.

Did You Know?

Write uppercase letters the same way you write lowercase ones. The only difference is where you write them.

Tip

Y our ha ndheld has tables displaying all of the Graff iti 2 ch aracters, shor t cuts, and commands.

Customize y our handheld

so you can display these characters by drawing a line from the bottom of the screen to the top.

• Write the characters exactly as shown In the following tables. Don’t write the dot. It’s only there to show you where to begin writing the character.

• The Graffiti 2 writing area has two sections. Write lowercase letters on the left, numbers on the right, and capital letters across the middle.

• Write at a natural speed, and do not write on a slant.

• Press firmly.

• Write large characters.

If you’re alr eady familiar with Graffiti writing from an older Palm OS handheld, Graffiti 2 writing will be easy to master. Characters are entered in exactly the same way, except for i, t, k, and the number 4. These let ters are now made with two strokes, just the w ay you would write them if you were using a pen and paper.

Also, you no longer have to use the punctuation shift stroke for common punctuation like periods, commas, or @. Just write these characters on the correct side of the input area and your handheld immediately recognizes t h em.

Have you ever had to meet friends at a certain time, so everyone needed to synchronize their watches?

And just as your watches can be synchronized, you can synchronize information—such as photos or contacts—on your handheld with information on your computer.
