1 Getting started

With your Acer s10, you’ll be able to successfully manage meetings and appointments, remember people’s names and personal details, and keep track of all the items on your To Do List, both at work and at home. You could also use it as a handy audio recorder, a three-in-one clock and an .mp3 player (talk about versatility!).

This chapter discusses your Acer s10’s basic functions, the physical and soft buttons, how to use HotSync® technology to synchronize (exchange and update) your handheld and PalmTM Desktop software. Once you familiarize yourself with these topics, you’ll easily be able to do the following:

Enter all your schedule details in the Date Book and view them by the day, week, or month, and even set an alarm to remind you of an important event

Keep all your contact names, addresses, phone numbers, and other details in the Address Book, so you can find them as soon as you need them

Add your tasks to the To Do List, prioritize them so you don’t overlook them, and assign them a due date

Ensure that you don’t lose any of this important information simply by

synchronizing your data with the Palm Desktop software on your computer to create a backup copy
