Appendix A
Maintaining Your Handheld
This chapter provides information on the following:
■ Proper care of your Treo™ 90 handheld
■ Maximizing battery life
■ Resetting your handheld
Caring for your handheld
Your handheld is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service.
Please observe the following general tips when using your handheld:
■ Take care not to scratch the screen of your handheld. Keep the screen clean. When working
with your handheld, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a
touch-sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on the surface
of the handheld screen.
■ Your handheld is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Under
extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry through the front panel buttons. In general,
treat your handheld as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
■ The touch-sensitive screen of your handheld contains a glass element. Take care not to drop
your handheld or subject it to any strong impact. Do not carry your handheld in your back
pocket: if you sit on it, the glass may break.
■ Protect your handheld from temperature extremes. Do not leave your handheld on the
dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heaters and other heat sources.
■ Do not store or use your handheld in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.
■ Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your handheld. If the surface of the handheld screen becomes
soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
Battery considerations
Please note the following considerations when using the rechargeable battery in your handheld:
■ Your handheld battery provides approximately 10 days of use between charges.
■ You can conserve battery life by reducing the brightness of the backlight feature and by
choosing a lower Auto-off setting which automatically turns the handheld off after a period
of inactivity. See page 141 and page 16 for more information.
■ If the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert appears on the handheld
screen describing the low battery condition. If this alert appears, connect your handheld to the
HotSync cable or travel charger to charge the battery.
