Why does the iPAQ seem slow sometimes?

●You should have at least 1.5 MB to 2 MB of free memory space on your iPAQ so that the device

operates efficiently. To check the free memory space, press Start , tap Settings > System > Memory. To create more memory space, you can delete or transfer email messages and pictures on your iPAQ to your computer.

●Some applications running in the background may be consuming memory and processing power.

You can use the Task Manager to terminate unnecessary applications. Press Start , tap Tools > Task Manager, select the appropriate application, and then tap End Task.

My iPAQ becomes very hot when I use it. What has happened?

●Your iPAQ may become warm during use but has been designed to shut off if it encounters temperatures at which it is unsafe to operate or charge.

●Using certain functions will make your iPAQ more likely to warm up. Prolonged phone calls, Internet sharing, and GPS applications can cause the iPAQ to warm up slightly.

●It is normal for your iPAQ to warm up slightly during charging.

●Certain environments can make your iPAQ heat up more quickly or prevent it from dissipating heat effectively. For instance, mounting your iPAQ on your dashboard may cause it to heat more quickly since it is exposed to direct sunlight.

How do I reset my iPAQ?

You might need to reset or restore your iPAQ if it does not respond to you pressing a button or tapping on the screen. You can perform a reset or a factory restore on your iPAQ.

●A reset stops all running programs, but does not erase any programs or saved data. Be sure to save any unsaved data within a running program before performing a soft reset.

●A factory restore clears all the user-installed settings, programs, and data, and restores your iPAQ to factory settings. Be sure to save any important data to an external memory source before performing a factory restore, as all your data will be erased.

CAUTION: If you perform a factory restore, you will lose all the data stored on your iPAQ.

To perform a reset:

●Remove and re-insert the battery in your iPAQ. After a soft reset, turn on your iPAQ.

●Or, remove the battery cover and insert a thin pin into the hole on the upper right next to the battery.
