First things first

Maintaining your Acer n50

vii
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. Always use the (included) SD dummy card to protect the connectors when not in
use.
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.
Resetting your Acer n50
You may have to perform a reset if your handheld no longer responds to the buttons
on the screen.

Performing a soft reset

A soft reset allows your handheld to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer.
All records and entries are retained after a soft reset.

To perform a soft reset:

• Using the tip of your stylus, lightly press the reset button inside the hole on
the buttom of your handheld.

Performing a hard reset

A hard reset will erase all records and entries stored in your handheld. Never perform
a hard reset unless a soft reset does not correct your problem. When you perform your
next ActiveSync operation, you can restore any data that you previously synchronised
to your computer. To perform a hard reset:
1. Press and hold the Today and Messaging (a) buttons on your Handheld.
