Problem Solution
I don’t see anything on my
handheld’s screen.
Try each of these in turn:
■ Press an application button to ensure that your handheld is
turned on.
■ Tap the Brightness icon in the upper-right corner of the
Graffiti
®
2 writing area. If the Brightness dialog box
appears, adjust the brightness by pressing and holding Up
on the navigator for a few seconds. If this doesn’t work,
press and hold Down on the navigator for a few seconds.
■ If your handheld was exposed to cold, make sure it is at
room temperature.
■ Charge your handheld.
■ Perform a soft reset. If your handheld still doesn’t turn on,
perform a hard reset. See “Resetting your handheld” in
Appendix A.
IMPORTANT With a hard reset, all records and entries stored
in your handheld are erased. Never perform a hard reset
unless a soft reset does not solve your problem. You can
restore any data previously synchronized with your computer
during the next HotSync operation.
I get a warning message

My handheld keeps turning
itself off.
Your handheld is designed to turn itself off after a period of
inactivity. This period can be set at 30 seconds or at one, two,
or three minutes. Check the Auto-off after setting on the Power
Preferences screen. See “Power Preferences” in Chapter 22.
