Although you create an HP webOS Account by entering a valid email address, setting up an HP webOS Account is different from setting up email on your device. To set up email, see Set up email. To change your HP webOS Account information after you set it up, see Update your HP webOS Account settings.

Turn your device on/off

Your device’s screen can be turned on and off separately from its wireless services (which are the Wi-Fi app, Bluetooth® app, and VPN app). This means you can wake up the screen to use just the organizer features of your device (Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and so on) without turning on the wireless features. Also, when the screen is turned off, wireless services can be on.

Why the screen goes dark

When the device is on and idle, the screen first dims and then turns off. This is normal behavior, caused by the auto shut-off interval. You can adjust this auto shut-off interval to be as long as 10 minutes (see Set the interval for turning the screen off automatically). At first, the screen dims as a power-saving measure. Just tap the screen to brighten it. Then, if your device remains inactive for the full interval you set, the screen turns itself off. Press the power button to turn the screen back on.

NOTE If you can’t turn the screen back on, see The screen appears blank for instructions.

Turn the screen on/off

To turn the screen on, do one of the following:

•Press the power button. Drag up to unlock the screen.

*Power

•Press Center . Drag up to unlock the screen. To turn the screen off, press the power button.

NOTE Pressing the power button to turn the screen off also works when your device is placed on a Touchstone (sold separately).

Turn wireless services off (airplane mode)

Airplane mode turns off your device’s wireless services (which are the Wi-Fi app, VPN app, and Bluetooth® app). Use airplane mode when you are on a plane or anywhere else you need to turn off all wireless services. You can’t browse the web, but you can still use apps like Calendar, Contacts, Photos & Videos, Music, Quickoffice® mobile office software, and Adobe Reader.

Do one of the following:

•Tap the upper-right corner of any screen to open the system menu. Tap Turn on Airplane Mode.

•Press and hold the power button and tap Airplane Mode.
