HP iPAQ Glisten-AT&T - Manual (Page 176)

Miscellaneous
Why does the iPAQ seem slow sometimes?
● You should have at least 1.5 MB to 2 MB of free memory space on your iPAQ so that the device
operates efficiently. To check the free memory space, press Start , tap Settings > System >
Memory. To create more memory space, you can delete or transfer email messages and pictures
on your iPAQ to your computer.
● Some applications running in the background may be consuming memory and processing power.
You can use the Task Manager to terminate unnecessary applications. Press Start , tap Tools >
Task Manager, select the appropriate application, and then tap End Task.
My iPAQ becomes very hot when I use it. What has happened?
● Your iPAQ may become warm during use but has been designed to shut off if it encounters
temperatures at which it is unsafe to operate or charge.
● Using certain functions will make your iPAQ more likely to warm up. Prolonged phone calls,
Internet sharing, and GPS applications can cause the iPAQ to warm up slightly.
● It is normal for your iPAQ to warm up slightly during charging.
● Certain environments can make your iPAQ heat up more quickly or prevent it from dissipating
heat effectively. For instance, mounting your iPAQ on your dashboard may cause it to heat more
quickly since it is exposed to direct sunlight.
How do I reset my iPAQ?
You might need to reset or restore your iPAQ if it does not respond to you pressing a button or tapping
on the screen. You can perform a reset or a factory restore on your iPAQ.
● A reset stops all running programs, but does not erase any programs or saved data. Be sure to
save any unsaved data within a running program before performing a soft reset.
● A factory restore clears all the user-installed settings, programs, and data, and restores your iPAQ
to factory settings. Be sure to save any important data to an external memory source before
performing a factory restore, as all your data will be erased.
CAUTION: If you perform a factory restore, you will lose all the data stored on your iPAQ.
To perform a reset:
● Remove and re-insert the battery in your iPAQ. After a soft reset, turn on your iPAQ.
● Or, remove the battery cover and insert a thin pin into the hole on the upper right next to the battery.
