Proper care and usage of your Acer n50
Your Acer n50’s rugged and tough construction is designed to provide you with years
of reliable and trouble-free service. Observing the following general maintenance
procedures will help ensure this:
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 or expansion slots. 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.

Maintaining your Acer n50
vii
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. Always use the (included) SD dummy card to protect the connectors when not in
use.
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 n50
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 buttom 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:
1. Press and hold the Today and Messaging (a) buttons on your Handheld.

NOTE: When you perform a hard reset, formats, preferences, and other settings including
date and time are restored to their factory default settings. All data, records, and entries,
except for those stored in the ROM storage, will be erased.
Locking your Acer n50
Your handheld is not just a financial investment but a wealthy source of personal
information, some of which may be confidential so it is only logical to protect it from
any unauthorized access. The security setting of your handheld gives you the option
of assigning a lock password that will be required for access after a set period of
inactivity.
To assign a password
1 Tap , Settings.
2 On the Personal tab, tap Password.
3 Select a password option.
• Simple 4 digit password
• Strong alphanumeric password
4 Define the period of inactivity before the password will be required for access.
5 Enter password then retype it to confirm.
