My batteries seem to run low too quickly.

Fax problems?
Try changing the fax class or reducing the speed at which the fax is sent.
• To change the Fax class, go to the Desktop, tap Control panel in the
toolbar, and open the Modems section. Tap Edit on the Modems page. Fax
class 2 is the preferred setting. The fax speed can be changed from within
the Message program. On the Too ls menu, select Settings Fax. Tap the
Modem tab and enter a reduced maximum speed.
If world times don’t seem to be correct in the Time program…
This is likely to be because of daylight saving, or summer time settings (where
clocks are put forward for the summer months).
The dates that clocks are set to change vary from country to country, and
sometimes even within a country; some countries do not use summer times at
all. Therefore, the MC 218 clock will not change automatically on the date
that the clocks change. You will need to make sure that each zone is set to use
its ‘summer time’ setting when the clocks change in those countries. See the
“Time” chapter for more details.
If a file appears to have ‘vanished’
When you tap on a program icon, the MC 218 will open the program with the
file that you last used. If you only use one Calendar file, for example, this will
always be displayed when you tap the Calendar icon.
However, if you move or rename your file, the MC 218 will not be able to find
this ‘last used’ file when you tap the program icon. So, it looks for a file with
a standard filename (e.g. Word, Calendar, Sheet etc.) and displays this file
instead. If there is no file with this name in the standard folder, a new file is
created.
You can re-open the original file from its new location using Open file on the
File menu.
If your pen doesn’t ‘click’ into place
The pen supplied with your MC 218 is held inside the case by a latch
mechanism, similar to that of a spring loaded biro. If the pen doesn't ‘click’
