Resetting your Acer n35 

You may have to perform a reset if your handheld no 

longer responds to the buttons on the screen. 

Performing a soft reset: A soft reset allows your 

handheld 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: 

• Using the tip of your stylus, lightly press the reset 

button inside the hole on the bottom of your 

handheld. 

Performing a hard reset: A hard reset will erase all 

records and entries (except for those stored in the 

ROM storage) in your handheld. Never perform a 

hard reset unless a soft reset does not correct your 

problem. To perform a hard reset, do the following: 

• Use the tip of your stylus toggle the reset switch 

to the left (a) and back to the right (b) on the 

bottom of your handheld. 

NOTE: When you perform a hard reset, formats, preferences, 

and other settings including date and time are restored to 

their factory default settings.

Customising your Acer n35 

Adjusting handheld settings 

You can adjust the settings of your handheld to suit 

the way you work. To access Settings 

• Tap 

 , then Settings. 

Tap an available Settings option to open the 

corresponding adjustment page. The Settings 

window has three tabs-Personal, System, and 

Connections, each of which has its own set of 

options. 

Adding and removing programs 

Programs bundled with your handheld at the factory 

are stored in ROM (read-only memory). You cannot 

remove these programs, and you'll accidentally lose 

ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated using 

special installation programs. All other programs and 

data files installed to your handheld after factory 

installation are stored in RAM (random access 

memory) or ROM storage. 

You can install any program created for your 

handheld, as long as it has enough memory. The 

most popular place to find software for your 

handheld is on the Pocket PC Web site (http://

www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/). 

You could add programs to your handheld either by 

using ActiveSync or by downloading the program 

from the Internet. 

For detailed instructions on how to add or remove 

programs, refer to the Acer n35 Handheld Manual.
