Appendix A
Maintaining Your Communicator
This chapter provides information on the following:
■ Proper care of your Treo™ 180g communicator
■ Maximizing battery life
■ Resetting your communicator
Caring for your communicator
Your communicator is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide years of trouble-free
service. Please observe the following general tips when using your communicator:
■ Take care not to scratch the screen of your communicator. Keep the screen clean. When
working with your communicator, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for
use with a touch-sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on
the surface of the communicator screen.
■ Your communicator 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 communicator as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic
instrument.
■ The touch-sensitive screen of your communicator contains a glass element. Take care not to
drop your communicator or subject it to any strong impact. Do not carry your communicator
in your back pocket: if you sit on it, the glass may break.
■ Protect your communicator from temperature extremes. Do not leave your communicator on
the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heaters and other heat sources.
■ Do not store or use your communicator in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.
■ Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your communicator. If the surface of the communicator screen
becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
Battery considerations
Please note the following considerations when using the rechargeable battery in your
communicator:
■ When wireless mode is on, your communicator battery should provide 60 hours of stand-by
time, or 2.5 hours of talk time between charges. When you use your communicator in
handheld mode and wireless mode is off, your communicator battery provides approximately
three weeks of use between charges.
■ You can conserve battery life by minimizing use of the backlight feature and by choosing a
lower Auto-off setting which automatically turns the communicator off after a period of
inactivity. See page 180 and page 18 for more information.
