APPENDIX A
Maintaining Your Handheld
This appendix provides information on the following:
nProper care of your handheld
nProlonging battery life
nResetting your handheld
nRemoving and installing your SIM card
Caring for your handheld
Your handheld is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide years of 
trouble-free service. Please observe the following general tips when using your 
handheld:
nTake 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 a touch-sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen or 
pencil or other sharp object on the surface of the handheld screen.
nYour 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 instrument.
nTake care not to drop your handheld or subject it to any strong impact. Do not 
carry your handheld in your back pocket: if you sit on it, you may damage it.
nProtect 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 freezing, and keep it away from heaters and other heat 
sources.
nDo not store or use your handheld in any location that is extremely dusty, 
damp, or wet.
nUse a soft, damp cloth to clean your handheld. If the surface of the handheld 
screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted 
window-cleaning solution.

Battery considerations
Please note the following considerations for the battery in your handheld:
nUnder normal conditions, you can keep your handheld battery charged by 
placing it in the cradle between 30 and 60 minutes each day. You can conserve 
battery life by minimizing the use of the backlight feature, and changing the 
Auto-off setting that automatically turns the handheld off after a period of 
inactivity. See“Auto-off delay” in Chapter 21 for more information.
nIf the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert appears on the 
handheld screen describing the low battery condition. 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 helps prevent accidental data loss.
nIf the battery becomes too low, the wireless operations are disabled to save 
battery strength.
nIf the battery drains to the point where your handheld does not operate, it stores 
your data safely for about five days. 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 the unit immediately. The battery may not have enough residual 
energy to power the indicator light, which normally displays green when 
charging.
nIf your battery drains and you have the unit in an uncharged state for an 
extended period of time, you can lose all of the stored data. 
nThere are no serviceable parts inside your handheld, so do not attempt to open 
the unit. 
nIf you ever dispose of your handheld, please dispose of it without damaging the 
environment. Take your handheld to your nearest environmental recycling 
center.
Resetting your handheld
Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset button. On rare 
occasions, however, your handheld may no longer respond to buttons or the 
screen. In this case, you need to perform a reset to get your handheld running 
again. 
						

							Resetting your handheld
371
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset tells your handheld to stop what it’s doing and start over again. All 
records and entries stored in your handheld are retained with a soft reset. After a 
soft reset, the Welcome screen appears, followed by the Date and Time Preferences 
screen (to set date and time). 
To perform a soft reset:
nUse the reset tip tool, or the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object 
without a sharp tip), to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the back 
panel of your handheld.
TIPThe metal and plastic stylus that comes with your handheld has a reset tip 
inside. To use it, unscrew the barrel from the stylus quill.
Performing a hard reset
With a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your handheld are erased. 
Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not solve your problem. 
NOTEYou can restore any data previously synchronized with your computer during 
the next HotSync operation.
To perform a hard reset:
1.Hold down the power button on the front panel of the handheld.
2.While holding down the power button, use the reset tip tool, or the tip of an 
unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip), to gently press and 
release the reset button.

Installing and removing the SIM card
With the SIM card installed, you can use your handheld’s wireless features, such 
as the mobile phone, SMS, and wireless e-mail. Without the SIM card, you can 
operate your handheld, but you cannot use the wireless features.
If you have not installed your SIM Card, see the Getting Started that came with your 
handheld or use the following instructions. Most likely, the SIM card either is in 
your package or was handed to you by a representative of your wireless service 
provider. In some cases the SIM card is already installed in your handheld by your 
wireless service provider.
IMPORTANTIf you are sending in your handheld for service to Palm, you must 
remove the SIM card before sending in your handheld. Use the following instructions 
if you need to exchange or remove the SIM card.
To install the SIM card or verify installation:
1.If you have the SIM card attached to its plastic holder, carefully detach the SIM 
card from the holder. 
2.On the back panel of your handheld, slide a thin, flat edge (similar to your 
thumb nail) in the indent and under the access door until the access door is 
released.

– If a placeholder card is present, remove the placeholder card. Then slide the 
SIM card into place on the access door. Close the access door.

door.
To remove the SIM card:
1.Turn off the handheld.
