What should I use to clean the screen on my device?
The screen on your device is coated with a protective layer of poly carbonate. You can safely use warm soapy
water, denatured alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt and smudges from your screen. Be sure to use a
very soft cloth, such as an old t-shirt, when wiping the screen to prevent scratching.
Can I print something from my device?
Currently there is no printer driver or cable adapter available for the device; however, if you have a computer
with access to the Internet, you can sign in to the Desktop Interface and access all the personal information
saved on your device. You can print the data found here just as you would a regular Web page.
How much memory does the device have?
The device has 16 MB of RAM and 4 MB of Flash ROM.
How many speakers does the device have?
The device contains two speakers, one in the front and one in the back. The front speaker is located at the
upper-right-hand side of the device, above the wheel. The rear speaker is located on the left-hand undercarriage
directly under the Menu and Jump buttons.
What are the ways I can turn off the device?
There are two ways you can turn off your device:
• Press and hold the power key for more than three seconds.
• Press Jump to go to the Jump screen, then press Menu to open the Jump menu. Select Power Off
from the menu.
How do I attach the lanyard/wrist strap?
Use the wrist strap included in your box to carry your device safely. To attach the strap to your device, follow the
instructions in:
Using the Wrist Strap to Carry Your Device
on page 13.
What is the small red window on the top of the device?
This is the infrared (IRDA) port, which is a data transfer port using the same technology as your television
remote control. Currently, the device does not use the port except for future over-the-air updates.
Why is there an infrared port on my device?
The IR port is currently not used on the device but is provided for future functionality.
What is Flash memory and what information does the device store in Flash?
Flash memory is a type of constantly-powered solid-state memory that can be erased and reprogrammed in units
of memory called blocks, which makes it fast to update. The Flash memory in your device holds the operating
system, the software that allows the device to boot up, and some user settings and preferences.
