n Try replacing the battery in the SmartPad pen. The SmartPad pen contains
one AAAA battery.
SmartPad works fine, but battery consumption is an issue. The batteries don’t
seem to last very long in my Palm OS-based organizer.
n SmartPad is designed for taking notes. After a period of inactivity, the screen
of your Palm OS-based organizer will go blank to conserve energy, but your
Palm OS-based organizer is still running, and ready to take notes with the
SmartPad. This stage of power conservation lasts about 30 minutes; if you
don’t resume taking notes after 30 minutes, the Palm OS-based organizer
shuts down completely.
If you use SmartPad to take notes in a situation where there are long periods
of inactivity, use the Power button on your Palm OS-based organizer to turn
off its power when you’re not actually taking notes.
I tapped the 1x button of the SmartPad screen for a zoomed-in view of my
handwritten notes. With the zoomed-in view, I can’t see any of my handwritten
notes.
n The zoomed-in view represents a small “window” to the total writing area of
the notepad. You can easily reposition this window. Use the stylus, touch the
zoomed-in view and drag the stylus tip to reposition the view of the notepad.
I had to perform a Hard Reset of my Palm OS-based organizer and now it
doesn’t communicate with the SmartPad portfolio.
n When you perform a Hard Reset of the Palm OS-based organizer, all of the
applications that you have installed are removed from the memory of the
Palm OS-based organizer. In this case, you must reinstall the SmartPad
software on your Palm OS-based organizer. Refer to the section entitled
SmartPad Software Installation for the complete procedure.
SmartPad Desktop Software Troubleshooting
I start the SmartPad desktop software, but can’t see any of the Ink Notes from
my Palm OS-based organizer.
n For your Ink Notes to appear in the SmartPad desktop software, you must
perform a HotSync operation with your Palm OS-based organizer. With your
Windows PC running, return the Palm OS-based organizer to its cradle, and
press the HotSync button. Then choose Refresh from the File menu of the
SmartPad desktop.
