Calibrating your Acer s10 screen

The first time you start your Acer s10, setup instructions appear onscreen. These instructions include a calibration screen, or Digitizer. Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of your Acer s10 with its touch-sensitive screen so your handheld can detect the task you want to perform when you tap an element on the screen.

To calibrate the Acer s10 screen:

1Tap the Applications icon , and then tap the Prefs icon .

2In the pick list in the upper right corner of the screen, tap Digitizer.

3Follow the oncreen instructions, tapping the screen where indicated.

Opening applications

You can use the Applications Launcher to open any application installed on your Acer s10. You can also open the four main applications—Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo Pad—with the application buttons on the front panel of your Acer s10.

TIP: When you press an application button on the front panel of your Acer s10, the application assigned to that button is immediately launched.

In addition to providing a way for you to open applications, the Applications Launcher displays the current time, battery level, and application category.
