© 2006 Palm, Inc. 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.
