Taking care of your Acer n20

1 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 touch-sensitive screens. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp
object on the screen surface.
2 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 device.
3 Take care not to drop your handheld or subject it to any strong impact. Do not place
your handheld in your back pocket; if you sit on it, you may damage it.
4 Protect your handheld from temperature extremes. For example, do not leave your
handheld on the dashboard of a car on a hot day or on a day when temperatures are
below the freezing point. Also, keep it away from heaters and other sources of heat.
5 Do not use or store your handheld in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or
wet.
6 Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your handheld. If the surface of the screen becomes
soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with diluted window-cleaning solution.
Resetting your Acer n20
You may have to perform a reset if your handheld no longer responds to the buttons
on the screen.
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset allows your handheld to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer.
All records and entries are retained after a soft reset.
To perform a soft reset:
• Using the tip of your stylus, lightly press the reset button inside the hole on
the rear panel of your handheld.

Performing a hard reset
A hard reset will erase all records and entries stored in your handheld. Never perform
a hard reset unless a soft reset does not correct your problem. When you perform your
next ActiveSync operation, you can restore any data that you previously synchronised
to your computer. To perform a hard reset, do the following:
1 Detach the battery pack from your handheld.
Refer to "To uninstall the battery pack" on page 9 for instructions.
2 Slide up the hard reset switch located on the right side of the battery bay (a) then
slide it down again (b).
3 After resetting your handheld, reinstall the battery pack in its bay.
Refer to "To install the battery pack" on page 8 for instructions.
NOTE: When you perform a hard reset, the current date and time are retained. Formats,
preferences, and other settings are restored to their factory default settings.
