Writing Tips
•
Write neatly.
•
Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Cross off the “t” and write apostrophes below the top
line so they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
•
For better recognition, increase the zoom level to 300% using Menu > Zoom.
•
Leave large gaps between words so the device can easily tell where words begin and end.
•
Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot
be converted.

Optimizing Battery Life
Under normal conditions, the device offers many hours of use from a single charge. To extend battery life as much
as possible, especially when on the road, observe these tips:
•
Use external power whenever possible, especially when:
• using the backlight
• connecting to a host computer
• using accessories.
•
Set the device to turn off when idle. While on battery power, the device automatically turns off, or suspends
operation, if not used for three minutes. Maximize battery life by shortening this time.
•
By default, the device produces sounds in response to a number of events, such as warnings, appointments,
and key presses. To optimize battery life, turn off unnecessary sounds. See Sounds & Notifications on page
2-22.
When batteries are low, a battery icon appears in the status bar.
