Maintaining your Acer s10
This section provides information on the following:
• Proper care and usage of your Acer s10
• Resetting your Acer s10
Proper care and usage of your Acer s10
Your Acer s10 handheld’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 Acer s10. Keep the screen clean. When
working with your Acer s10, 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 Acer s10 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 Acer s10 as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic
device.
3 Take care not to drop your Acer s10 or subject it to any strong impact. Do not place
your Acer s10 in your back pocket; if you sit on it, you may damage it.
4 Protect your Acer s10 from temperature extremes. For example, do not leave your
Acer s10 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 Acer s10 in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or wet.
6 Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your Acer s10. If the surface of the screen becomes
soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with diluted window-cleaning solution.
Resetting your Acer s10
You may have to perform a reset if your Acer s10 no longer responds to the buttons
on the screen.
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset allows your Acer s10 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, use the reset tip tool that is threaded into the head of your
stylus, or use an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip).
