The Palm m100 organizer automatically displays a low battery warning when its batteries need to
be replaced. After seeing the warning, put new batteries into the organizer as soon as possible.
The low battery warning remains on the screen until acknowledged, and may be seen several times
before the batteries are replaced. The organizer may operate for a few days after the first low-
battery warning; however, replace the batteries soon to avoid possible loss of function.

If the organizer starts to exhibit unusual or irregular behavior, weak batteries are a possible cause.
This may be the case if a low battery warning has occurred. In exceptional circumstances, the
unusual behavior may actually precede the warning. Symptoms associated with weak batteries
may include:
• General application sluggishness
• Having to press the power or application buttons twice before the organizer turns on
If these or similar phenomenon occur and the organizer’s batteries are low, install fresh batteries.

ROGRAM
Do not let the batteries go dead in the Palm m100.
Dead batteries cause the Palm m100 organizer to lose the CPXLINK program, and lose the ability
to communicate with any of the CSAT transceivers. If this happens, follow these steps:
1. Replace the batteries with two high-quality AAA alkaline batteries.
2. Reset the Palm m100.
3. Re-load the CPXLINK software (see below).
