How often should I recharge my handheld?

We recommend that you recharge your handheld for at least half an hour every day. Ideally, connect your handheld to a power source every night and recharge it while you sleep. Also, you can conserve battery life by doing any of the following:

Reduce the brightness of the display.

Reduce the Auto-off after setting.

Use Keylock Preferences to prevent your handheld from being turned on accidentally.

Minimize use of the expansion card slot.

Turn the Bluetooth® feature off when you’re not using it.

What do I do if I can’t synchronize with my computer?

Make sure the USB sync cable is connected securely.

WINDOWS ONLY

• Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows taskbar in the lower-right corner of your screen. Make sure Local USB has a checkmark next to it. If not, click it.

• If you don’t see the HotSync Manager icon, click Start on the Windows taskbar, and then select

Programs. Go to the Palm Desktop program group

and select HotSync Manager. Click the HotSync Manager icon when it appears in the system tray. Make sure Local USB is selected.
