Tips

• Don’t write on the screen with sharp object such as a pen or a paper clip!

• If your batteries run out and you cannot turn on your Palm device, you have at least one week to recharge your batteries.

• Use screen cleaners designed for handhelds rather than cleaners designed for computer monitors.

• If your stylus seems to be missing what you are tapping on, try redigitizing the screen.
