Maintaining your Acer handheld
This section provides information on the following:
Proper care and usage of your handheld
Resetting your handheld
Proper care and usage of your handheld
Your handheld’s rugged and tough construction is designed to provide you with years
of reliable and trouble-free service. Observing the following general maintenance
procedures will help ensure this:
1 Take care not to scratch the screen of your handheld. Keep the screen clean. When
working with your handheld, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended
for use with touch-sensitive screens. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp
object on the screen surface.
2 Your handheld is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture.
Under extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry through the front panel
buttons. In general, treat your handheld as you would a pocket calculator or other
small electronic device.
3 Take care not to drop your handheld or subject it to any strong impact. Do not place
your handheld in your back pocket; if you sit on it, you may damage it.
4 Protect your handheld from temperature extremes. For example, do not leave your
handheld on the dashboard of a car on a hot day or on a day when temperatures are
below the freezing point. Also, keep it away from heaters and other sources of heat.
5 Do not use or store your handheld in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or
wet.
6 Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your handheld. If the surface of the screen becomes
soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with diluted window-cleaning solution.
Battery considerations
Please note the following considerations for the battery in your handheld.
Under normal conditions, your handheld battery should remain charged by
placing it in the cradle for just a few minutes each day. You can conserve
battery life by minimising the use of the backlight feature and changing the
the Auto-off setting that automatically turns off the handheld after a period
of inactivity. For more information on the Auto-off setting, refer to "Setting
the Auto-off interval time" on page 247.
If the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert appears on
the handheld screen indicating low battery status. If this alert appears,
perform a HotSync operation to back up your data; then leave your handheld
in the cradle to recharge the unit. This will prevent accidental data loss.
If the battery drains to the point where your handheld does not operate, it
stores your data safely for about a week. In this case, there is enough residual
energy in the battery to store the data, but not enough to turn on your
handheld. If your handheld does not turn on when you press the power
button, you should recharge your unit immediately.
If your battery drains and you have the unit in an uncharged state for an
extended period of time, you can lose all the data stored in it.
