Tips • Don’t write on the screen with sharp object such as a pen or a paper clip! • If your batteries run out and you cannot turn on your Palm device, you have at least one week to recharge your batteries. • Use screen cleaners designed for handhelds rather than cleaners designed for computer monitors. • If your stylus seems to be missing what you are tapping on, try redigitizing the screen. © 2006 Palm, Inc.

This was just a glimpse of the possibilities! With a Palm handheld or smartphone, educators and students can do amazing things! 2 E Power! E 2= Everyone • Everywhere © 2006 Palm, Inc.
