ALWAYS TAP ON “NO”. Otherwise you will lose the data you have stored in the PDA.

Resetting the PDA

Press the RESET button on the back of the unit to reset your PDA if there is a system error, if the touch-

screen calibration is off target or if you encounter any other abnormal situation.

After you press RESET, the screen will display “SYSTEM DATA PROCESSING... PLEASE WAIT.” It

will then ask you to calibrate the touch screen - tap the targets to carry out the calibration. The PDA then

displays “INITIALIZATION DELETE ALL DATA?”

If the format lock (inside SETUP

SECURITY) is set, you will need to enter your password before the

INITIALIZATION screen appears.

Tapping “NO” will reset the system and return it to the settings you have configured before.

If you tap “YES”, the display will ask “ARE YOU SURE TO CONTINUE?”

Tapping “NO” will reset the system and return it to the settings you have configured before.

WARNING! If you tap “YES”, the PDA will reformat the database memory and delete all records. Only

perform this memory clean-up if pressing RESET does not solve your problem. If you proceed with the

memory clean-up, the display will show “FORMATTING...”

Turning the PDA on

Press the button at the top left of the PDA. The HOME LAUNCHER/MAIN screen will appear on screen.

The PDA also features an “Auto off” function, which is set at the factory to 3 minutes. That means that the

unit will switch itself off automatically if it is not operated for 3 minutes. You can change the “Auto off”

function in “SETUP”.

To turn the PDA back on after it has switched itself off, press the button on the left-hand side of the unit.

The unit will go back to the screen last displayed before it was switched off.

Always use the stylus to tap the screen, access the applications and input data, and remember to slide it

back into its protective holder on the side of the PDA when you have finished using it.

Inputting data

When you want to input data, for example to create a new record or edit an old one in an application, you

can choose between two methods of inputting data: using handwriting recognition or using a touch-screen

QWERTY keyboard. Backspace, carriage return, four punctuation marks and the spacebar are always

available in both methods.

To move between the two methods, simply tap on the pencil or keyboard icon displayed in the top right

corner of the inputting screen.

HANDWRITING

Your PDA recognizes handwritten letters of the alphabet, numerical characters and punctuation marks and

symbols. To use handwriting recognition, make sure the screen shows the pencil icon. To the left of the

pencil, you will see the icon

. This is for inputting standard letters of the alphabet. To input numbers,

tap this icon to change it to

, and tap it again to input punctuation marks or symbols [ ].

Using the stylus, write a letter (or number/punctuation mark) in one of the two large boxes at the bottom

left of the screen. The PDA inputs a letter in the content line at the top of the screen and in the long

rectangular box it also suggests a list of letters that it recognizes from your handwritten input. If the letter

in the content line is not correct, tap the letter in the row that you want to input.

When you write another letter, a letter is inserted in the content line and a new set of alternatives is

displayed in the rectangular box.
