CHAPTER 1

Setting Up Your Handheld and Your Computer

Using user profiles
SKIP Only IT managers may need to use user profiles for their company. If you are not an IT
manager, you can skip this section.
Suppose your sales organization wants to distribute two dozen handhelds that all have a common
company phone list, a set of memos, and several key applications. A user profile can be created to
install this information before the handhelds are distributed to employees. When the employees
synchronize for the first time, this common information becomes part of their user-specific
information.
A user profile enables you to install the same information onto multiple handhelds before each
handheld is individualized with a unique username and user-specific information. A handheld that
has a user profile installed can be given to anyone, because the handheld is not yet identified by a
unique username. When the new user synchronizes for the first time, he or she gives the handheld
a unique username.
NOTE Handhelds that are synchronized with a user profile must be either new handhelds that
have never been synchronized or handhelds that have had their usernames and information
removed by a hard reset.

Have you ever been to a new city and
felt a bit lost until you figured out that
the numbered streets run north/south
and the avenues run east/west?
Learning to move around on your

application controls. So once you learn
how to use these standard controls,
you’ll be driving all over town and you
won’t even need a map.

Tip
A blinking cursor on your

information you enter will
appear. Tap or use the
5-way to move the cursor
to the location you want.
In most cases, if you do
not see a blinking cursor,
you cannot enter

How can I enter information on my handheld?
• Graffiti® 2 writing
• The onscreen keyboard
• Phone Lookup
• Note Pad
• An accessory keyboard (sold separately; visit www.palm.com/myZ22 and click the
Accessories link)
The most popular methods are using Graffiti 2 writing and the onscreen keyboard.
NOTE You can also enter information on your computer and transfer the information to your
handheld. Or, you can send information to and receive info from other devices using beaming.

Entering information with Graffiti® 2 writing
You can enter info directly on your handheld with Graffiti 2 writing. Graffiti 2 writing includes any
character you can type on a standard keyboard. Entering these characters on your handheld is
very similar to the way you naturally write letters, numbers, and symbols. But instead of using a
pen and paper, you use the stylus and the input area on your handheld. With only a few minutes
of practice, you can learn to use Graffiti 2 writing.

Writing in the Graffiti 2 input area
You can write Graffiti 2 characters in the input area, or you can turn on full-screen writing and
write anywhere on the screen.
In the input area, write lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and numbers in the sections shown. If
you write characters in the wrong area, they are not recognized correctly and an incorrect
character is written.
Write letters here

Write numbers here

Write capital letters across the middle

Using full-screen writing
When full-screen writing is turned on, you can write anywhere on the screen. When full-screen
writing is turned off, you must write character strokes in the Graffiti 2 input area for your handheld
to recognize them.
You can write letters or characters in the following areas:
Left side of the screen
Right side of the screen

Write letters or characters that are assigned to the ABC input area.
Write numbers or characters that are assigned to the 123 input area.

Across the middle of the screen

Write uppercase letters.

NOTE For a brief period of time after writing a character, a quick tap on the screen is
interpreted as a period character. Wait a second before you tap a button or move the cursor so that
the action is not interpreted as a period character.

Graffiti 2 characters made
with two strokes are
recognized after the
second stroke. Make the
second stroke quickly
after the first so that the
correct character is
recognized.
Did You Know?
Write uppercase letters
the same way you write
lowercase ones. The only
difference is where you
write them.
Tip
Your handheld has tables
displaying all of the
Graffiti 2 characters, short
cuts, and commands.
Display these tables by
drawing a line from the
bottom of the screen to
the top.

Lift the stylus at the end of the stroke.

Done

When you lift the stylus from the screen, your handheld recognizes
the stroke immediately and prints the character at the insertion
point on the screen.

Keys to success with Graffiti 2 writing
Keep these guidelines in mind when using Graffiti 2 writing:
• Write the characters exactly as shown in the following tables. Don’t write the dot. It’s only there
to show you where to begin writing the character.
• The input area has two sections. Write lowercase letters on the left, numbers on the right, and
capital letters across the middle.
• Write at a natural speed, and do not write on a slant.
• Press firmly.
• Write large characters.
If you’re already familiar with Graffiti writing from an older Palm Powered™ device, Graffiti 2
writing will be easy to master. Characters are entered in exactly the same way, except for i, t, k,
and the number 4. These letters are now made with two strokes, just the way you would write
them if you were using a pen and paper.
Also, you no longer have to use the Punctuation Shift stroke for common punctuation like periods
and commas or for @. Just write these characters on the correct side of the input area and your
handheld immediately recognizes them.

Say good-bye to a paper address book
that you need to update manually
every time someone moves, changes
their email address, or gets a new work
extension. With Contacts, not only is it
easy to enter information such as
names, addresses, and phone
numbers, but it is just as quick to view,
update, and organize contact
information.

Benefits of Contacts
You can easily share info with other
handhelds by beaming. You can even
add photos of your loved ones directly
to their contact information.

• Carry all your business and personal
contact information in your hand
• Keep track of who’s who

Want to know about one of the most
powerful methods for entering,
updating, and backing up large
amounts of information on your
handheld? It’s called synchronizing—
and you can access it with just one tap.
Synchronizing simply means that
information that has been entered or
updated in one place (your handheld or
your computer) is automatically
updated in the other. There’s no need
to enter information twice. For large
amounts of info, you can easily enter
the info on your computer, then
synchronize to transfer it to your
handheld. Synchronizing also lets you
quickly install applications from your
computer on your handheld.

Benefits
• Quickly enter and update information
on your computer and your handheld
• Install applications
• Protect your information

78

CHAPTER 6

Moving Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer

Why synchronize information?
Quickly enter and update information. Synchronizing updates and exchanges information
between your handheld and Palm® Desktop software on your computer. For example, you can
quickly enter a contact list on your computer and then send it to your handheld—no re-entering
necessary!
NOTE During CD installation, you can choose to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft
Outlook on your computer (Windows only).

Handheld droplet (Mac) to install applications on your handheld.
Protect your information. Nothing is worse than losing important information. When you
synchronize information, you create a backup copy. If something happens to your handheld
or your computer, the information is not lost; one tap restores it in both places.
[ ! ] IMPORTANT Be sure to synchronize information frequently so that you always have an
up-to-date backup copy of important information.

Complete the following:
• Perform initial
handheld setup.
• Install Palm Desktop
software and additional
software from the CD.
For setup and installation
procedures, see Read
This First, included in
your handheld package.

»

Key Term
Conduit The
synchronization software
that links an application
on your computer with
the same application on
your handheld.

Moving Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer

What information is synchronized?
When you install Palm Desktop software from the software installation CD, a conduit is installed
on your computer for each of the following applications. The conduits allow you to transfer
information between the application on your handheld and the corresponding application in
Palm Desktop software when you synchronize.

NOTE Information from Expense is synchronized on Windows computers only.
If you install the Photos desktop application from the software installation CD, you can
synchronize the Photos application on your handheld with the desktop application.
During CD installation, you can choose to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft Outlook on
your computer (Windows only). If you do, info from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos is
synchronized with info in the same application in Outlook (Memos is called Notes in Outlook).
Information for Expense, Note Pad, and Photos is still synchronized with the same application in
Palm Desktop software. You can insert the CD at any time to choose synchronization with Outlook
if you did not do so during the initial installation.
You can synchronize more than one handheld with your computer. For example, family members
can all synchronize their handhelds with the same copy of Palm Desktop software, or some can
choose to synchronize with Palm Desktop software, while others synchronize with Outlook. Just
make sure that each handheld has its own username; the desktop software reads the username
and recognizes the handheld during synchronization. Loss of info may occur from sharing the
same username.
NOTE A single copy of Palm Desktop software recognizes different sets of information for
different usernames; so, for example, each username can maintain and synchronize its own
contact list. A single copy of Outlook maintains just one set of info, so if multiple usernames
synchronize with the same copy of Outlook, they will all share the same contact lists, calendar
events, and so on.

Some events don’t fit neatly into the preset repeat intervals, so you need to set up your own
repeat intervals. For example, set aside time for a trip to the gym every other day, schedule a class
that meets on the 1st Wednesday of each month, or enter annual holidays that occur during a
particular time of month such as the 1st Monday in September or the 3rd week of November.

Did You Know?
You can reserve a specific
block of time during the
day or use events without
times to flag a series of
dates. For example, you
can reserve vacation time
from 6/23–6/30 using a
repeating event without a
time, and then schedule a
specific excursion from
9:00 to 3:00 on 6/24 and
dinner with a friend at
6:00 on 6/25.

Scheduling an event that is longer than a day

Tip
Need to enter an event
that extends beyond
midnight? Enter an end
time that is earlier than
the start time.

Reserve a block of time for events that span several days, such as a vacation, conference, training
class, or an extended project.

Scheduling an event with a time zone
[ ! ] IMPORTANT Do not use times zones if you are synchronizing with Palm Desktop software.
Time zones work only if you are synchronizing with Outlook. Palm Desktop software does not
recognize time zones.
Selecting a time zone when creating a new event allows you to travel and have your events
automatically adjust to the time zone in your new location. When you schedule an event, set the
time zone and the time the event occurs in the location of the event. The event automatically
adjusts on your schedule based on the primary location you have set on your handheld.
When you travel, you can change the primary location on your handheld and the event
automatically adjusts on your schedule to the correct time according to the time zone of the new
primary location.
NOTE Only events that have a time zone setting adjust when you change the primary time
zone on your handheld. Events that do not have a time zone setting remain at their set time.

Maintaining Your Handheld
Your handheld is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide you with
years of trouble-free service. Taking care of your handheld helps keep it working
properly and ensures that it’s available when you need it.

Handheld do’s and don’ts
To protect your handheld from damage and ensure reliable performance, follow these guidelines.

Handheld do’s
• Always store your handheld in the included pouch when not in use.
• Use only the stylus to tap the screen—no pens, pencils, paper clips, or other sharp objects.
• Use only the supplied AC charger to charge your handheld.
• Keep the battery charged.
• Keep the screen free of dust (or anything else that could make it dirty).
• For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. If the screen becomes dirty, use a soft cloth
moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
• Be sure to get rid of any static electricity buildup before you connect your handheld to any cable
or accessory.
• Synchronize often to maintain a backup copy of your important information on your computer.
Palm® Z22 Handheld

280

CHAPTER 19

Maintaining Your Handheld

Handheld don’ts
[ ! ] IMPORTANT Do not open your handheld for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Attempting to open your handheld voids the warranty on your handheld.
• Do not drop, bang, or otherwise cause a strong impact to your handheld.
• Do not carry your handheld in your back pocket; you might sit on it by mistake.
• Do not let your handheld get wet; don’t even leave it in a damp location.
• Do not expose your handheld to very hot or cold temperatures, including placing it near a
heater, leaving it in the trunk of a car, or setting it by a window in direct sunlight.
• Do not carry or use your handheld at extremely high altitudes, unless you’re in an airplane.

Resetting your handheld
On rare occasions your handheld may not respond when you press a button or tap the screen. In
this case, you need to reset your handheld.

Doing a soft reset
A soft reset tells your handheld to stop what it’s doing and start over again. None of your
information will be lost. After a soft reset, a screen appears that lets you reset the date and time,
if needed.

Palm® Z22 Handheld

281

CHAPTER 19

Maintaining Your Handheld

To do a soft reset, use the tip of the stylus to gently press the reset button on the back of your
handheld.

Reset button

If your handheld does not respond after a soft reset, you need to do a hard reset.

Doing a hard reset
Only do a hard reset if a soft reset doesn’t solve your problem, or if you want to clear all of your
information from your handheld.
[ ! ] IMPORTANT A hard reset deletes all records and entries stored on your handheld, including
the username that identifies the handheld. This is another reason why it's important to
synchronize often, so you have an up-to-date backup of your information available. Before you do
a hard reset, be sure to synchronize.

Common Questions

Handheld
[ ! ] IMPORTANT Do not open your handheld; there are no serviceable parts inside. Opening your
handheld voids the warranty and is not recommended under any circumstances.

I want to see how much battery life I have left.
A battery icon
appears at the top of the Home screen. Check the icon periodically to see if
your handheld needs to be recharged. If the battery becomes low, a message appears on the
screen prompting you to recharge the battery.

I’m not sure when I need to recharge my handheld.
We recommend that you recharge your handheld for at least half an hour every day. Ideally,
connect your handheld to a power source every night and recharge it while you sleep.

My battery is drained.
The memory on your handheld is designed to store your information even if the battery becomes
drained completely. When you recharge your handheld, all of your existing information should
appear.

My battery drains too quickly.
You can conserve battery life by doing any of the following:
• Adjust the screen brightness.
• Reduce the Auto-off setting.
• Use Keylock to prevent your handheld from turning on by accident.
• Respond to or cancel alerts promptly.

Common Questions

Tip
After a soft reset, the
Preferences screen
appears with the Date &
Time option highlighted
so you can reset the date
and time if necessary.

When I connect my handheld to the AC charger, it does not charge.
• Confirm that your handheld is firmly connected to the AC charger.
• Confirm that your AC charger is plugged into an AC outlet that has power.
A lightning bolt over the battery icon indicates that your handheld is charging. If your battery is
completely drained, you’ll need to charge it for a few minutes before you can turn it on and see
the battery icon.

My handheld is not responding.
On rare occasions your handheld may not respond when you press a button or tap the screen.
If this happens, first check that Keylock is not turned on.
If Keylock is off and your handheld is still not responding, you need to reset your handheld. A soft
reset tells your handheld to stop and start over again. This does not affect any of the information
or applications on your handheld.
If your handheld does not respond after a soft reset, you need to perform a hard reset.
If your handheld still does not respond after a reset, check your third-party applications for
incompatible applications.

I don’t see anything on my handheld’s screen.
• Press an application button to ensure that your handheld is turned on.
• If your handheld was exposed to cold, make sure it is at room temperature.
• Charge your handheld.
• Perform a soft reset. If your handheld still doesn’t turn on, perform a hard reset.

Common Questions

My handheld keeps turning itself off.
Your handheld is designed to turn itself off after a period of inactivity. This period can be set at
30 seconds or at one, two, or three minutes. Check the Auto-off after setting on the Power
Preferences screen.

My handheld is not making any sounds.
Check the System, Alarm, and Game Sound settings.

I get a blank screen when I reset my handheld.
It takes a little while for your handheld to reset when you press the reset button. During a soft
reset, you see a progress bar, then a screen with the Palm Powered™ logo. Resetting is complete
when the Date & Time Preferences screen appears.

The current date and time are incorrect.
The current date and time are tied to the Location setting. If you change the date and time without
changing the Location setting, the current date and time may appear incorrect.

Moving around
I can’t find the icon I want on the Home screen.
• Select the category pick list in the upper-right corner of the Home screen and select All. You may
need to scroll down a bit, but you should see an icon for each of the applications on your

Common Questions

Entering information
My handheld doesn’t respond to taps correctly.
If your handheld is not responding to taps correctly, you need to align the screen.

When I tap Menu in the input area, nothing happens.
• Tap the upper-left corner of the screen to try to open the menus.
• Align the screen and try tapping Menu again.
• If nothing happens, you may be in an application or screen that does not use menus. Switch to
a different application and try tapping Menu. If it works in the second application, then the first
does not use menus.
• If tapping Menu does not work in the second application, try aligning the screen again.

I can’t get my handheld to recognize my handwriting.
For your handheld to recognize handwriting input with the stylus, you need to use Graffiti® 2
writing. Use the Graffiti 2 help to learn how to write characters.
NOTE Your handheld recognizes strokes entered with the stylus other than Graffiti 2 strokes
in the Note Pad application only.
• Make the Graffiti 2 character strokes in the Graffiti 2 input area, not on the display part of the
screen. If you want to write on the display part of the screen, turn full-screen writing on.
• Write Graffiti 2 strokes for lowercase letters in the left side, strokes for capital letters in the
middle, and strokes for numbers in the right side of the Graffiti 2 writing area.
• Make sure that Graffiti 2 writing is not in shift mode or in Punctuation Shift mode.

WINDOWS ONLY
During CD installation, you chose a desktop software application to synchronize with your
handheld. You may have chosen Palm Desktop software at that time. But if Microsoft Outlook
already contains all of your contacts, appointments, tasks, and notes, you can change your
synchronization method so that your handheld synchronizes with Outlook instead. You can also
change from Outlook to Palm Desktop software.
NOTE If you choose to synchronize with Outlook, info from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and
Memos is synchronized with info in the corresponding application in Outlook. (Memos is called
Notes in Outlook.) Other info, such as notes, is synchronized with info in Palm Desktop software.
1. Insert the CD into your computer.
2. Select Change your synchronization method.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions for the desktop software you want to use.

• Make sure that you have the correct username selected from the drop-down list.
• Make sure that the applications you want are set to synchronize the files. If not, select each
application, click Change, and then choose Synchronize the files.
• Make sure that the correct application name is selected. For example, the older version of
Calendar was called Date Book. If you have upgraded from an older handheld, make sure that
Calendar is set to Synchronize the files, and Date Book is set to Do Nothing.
• If you synchronize your handheld with more than one computer, click Settings and select
Enable synchronization to multiple PCs for each application you want to synchronize. This
helps avoid duplicating the same information on a single computer.
NOTE Check the Set as default box to use this setting each time you synchronize. Otherwise, it
applies during the next synchronization only.
• Be sure that the application you want is installed. Reinstall HotSync manager and make sure that
the application is selected.
• Reinstall Palm Desktop software and select the option to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook.

Some of my applications do not synchronize.
If you have synchronized successfully but you can’t find the information from your handheld on

The 8009 error indicates that the Windows registry is corrupt. You need to rebuild the HotSync
manager registry entries. For information on rebuilding the registry entries, go to
www.palm.com/support and search the Palm Knowledge Library for “error 8009.”

My files didn’t install during synchronization.
If files do not install after you synchronize, the file type was not recognized. On your handheld,
open the application associated with those files. Then synchronize again. If the files remain in the
Quick Install list on your computer (Windows only), they are not associated with an application on
your handheld and cannot be installed.

Palm® Z22 Handheld

CHAPTER 20

Common Questions

I can’t add more files to the Quick Install list.
Make sure the dialog box that confirms where the files will be installed is closed. You cannot add
more files to the list when the confirmation dialog box is open.

When I add a zipped file (ZIP) to Quick Install, some of the files don’t
appear in the Quick Install list.
Unzip the file with a file compression utility, such as WinZip, and then add the unzipped files to
Quick Install.

I want to synchronize my computer with more than one handheld.
If the computer running Palm Desktop software synchronizes with more than one handheld, each
handheld should have a unique name. Synchronizing more than one handheld with the same
username causes unpredictable results and, potentially, loss of your personal information. Assign
a username to your handheld the first time you synchronize.
If you are synchronizing with Outlook, make sure the right profile is selected for the applications
you want to synchronize in HotSync manager. In Palm Desktop software, click HotSync, and then
select Custom.

• If you have two or more events with the same start time, the events appear as multiple bars
starting at the same time in Week View. To see the overlapping events, select the individual bars,
or select Day View. For more information, see Finding events that overlap.
• If you marked the event as private, check Security Preferences to see that Private Records is set

Only new events created after the preference is set are affected. The events you created earlier
without time zones do not have the time zone set. You can edit the earlier events to include a time
zone.

I created my event with a time zone, but only that event is responding

If you choose to view your memos alphabetically on Palm Desktop software and then synchronize,
the memos on your handheld still appear in the order defined in the Preferences setting. In other

Privacy
I’ve made records private, but I can’t remember my password to
display them.
First, use the password hint to try to remember the password. If this doesn’t help or if you do not
have a password hint, you can use Security Preferences to delete the password, but your handheld
deletes all entries marked as private. However, if you synchronize before you delete the password,
the synchronization process backs up all entries, whether or not they are marked private. Then you
can follow these steps to restore your private entries:
1. In Security Preferences, tap in the password box and enter a guess at the password.
2. In the dialog box that appears, select Lost Password.
3. Select Delete Password to remove the password and delete all private records.
4. Synchronize your handheld with your computer again.

CHAPTER 20

Common Questions

I forgot the password, and my handheld is locked.
First, use the password hint to try to remember the password. If this doesn’t help or if you do not
have a password hint, you must perform a hard reset to continue using your handheld. Performing
a hard reset deletes all of the information on your handheld. To protect your info and create a
backup of your info, synchronize to back up the contents of your handheld to your computer often.

Beaming
I can’t beam information to another handheld or other device.
NOTE Depending on the receiving handheld model, not all information may be sent correctly.
• If you are beaming to another Palm Powered™ device, confirm that your handheld and the other
handheld are 4 to 39 inches (approximately ten centimeters to one meter) apart and that the path
between the two handhelds is clear of obstacles. Beaming distances to other devices with an IR
port may be different.
• Move your handheld closer to the receiving device.
• Make sure the receiving device has beam receive enabled.
• Perform a soft reset on both your handheld and the receiving device.
• Avoid beaming in bright sunlight or fluorescent light. These produce infrared noise that can
make beaming go slower or, in some cases, prevent it from working at all.

Common Questions

When someone beams information to my handheld, it doesn‘t receive
the info.
• If you are receiving info from another Palm Powered device, confirm that your handheld and the
other handheld are 4 to 39 inches (approximately ten centimeters to one meter) apart and that
the path between the two handhelds is clear of obstacles. Beaming distances to other devices
with an IR port may be different.
• Move your handheld closer to the sending device.
• Make sure your handheld has beam receive enabled.
• Perform a soft reset on both your handheld and the beaming device.

When someone beams information to my handheld, I get a message
telling me it is out of memory.
• Your handheld requires at least twice the amount of memory available as the info you are
receiving. For example, if you are receiving a 30KB application, you must have at least
60KB free.
• Purge old Calendar events and delete unused or unnecessary applications.

Problems with incompatible applications
Palm, Inc. works with developers of third-party add-on applications to ensure the compatibility
of these applications with your handheld. Some third-party applications, however, may not have
been upgraded to be compatible with your handheld.
Possible symptoms of incompatible applications include:
• Fatal errors needing resets
• Nonresponsive handheld requiring a reset

• Slow performance
• Abnormal screen display or uneven sound quality
• Problems opening an application
• Problems synchronizing
You can determine whether an incompatible application is causing problems by deleting the
application and then operating your handheld.
After you have deleted the application, try to replicate the operation that created the error. If
removing the application solves your problem, contact the application developer for a solution.
Also, go to www.palm.com/us/support/contact/incompatible_apps.html to provide feedback to
Palm on the application.

Finding a third-party application that is causing a problem
If you have multiple third-party applications installed on your handheld or have upgraded from an
earlier model of a Palm Powered device, perform the following procedure to remove all third-party
applications from your handheld. Once you have removed all of the third-party applications, you
can install one application at a time to determine which application is causing the problem.
The following procedures erase all information from your handheld. Before removing the
applications, synchronize to back up the contents of your handheld to your computer.
1. On a Windows computer, open the Palm folder on your computer, and then open the user
folder for your handheld. User folder names are often abbreviated as last name, first initial. On
a Mac computer, locate the folder Home/Documents/Palm/Users//Backups.
2. Select and drag the Backup folder to the desktop. Make sure you see the Backup folder on the
desktop.
3. On a Windows computer, close the Palm folder.
4. Perform a hard reset, and then synchronize your handheld with your computer to restore info to
your handheld.

Common Questions

5. Operate your handheld and try to replicate problem operations.
6. Do one of the following:
• If your handheld still has problems, review this Common Questions section for solutions to
the problem. Fix the problem before reinstalling the third-party applications.
• If your handheld no longer has problems, install the third-party applications one application
at a time using the following procedure:
a. Open the Backup folder you moved to the desktop in step 2.
b. Double-click a PRC file. On a Windows computer, the Quick Install window opens with the
PRC file listed. On a Mac computer, the HotSync manager window opens with the PRC
file listed.
NOTE Alternatively, on a Mac computer, you can drag the PRC file to the Send To
Handheld droplet instead of double-clicking it.
c. Click Done.
d. Synchronize your handheld with your computer.
e. Operate your handheld and try to replicate problem operations.
f. Do one of the following:
• If installing the application re-creates your problem, remove the application and
contact the application developer for a solution. Continue to reinstall your applications
one application at a time to make sure another application is not creating a problem.
• If installing the application does not cause a problem, go to step a and reinstall another
application.
g. Go to www.palm.com/us/support/contact/incompatible_apps.html to provide feedback
to Palm on the application.
NOTE Some applications use more than one PRC file. You should continue to check
each PRC file even if you identify one associated with an application that is causing a
problem on your handheld, since that application may use other PRC files.

Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Palm Handheld
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic devices if discharged into the device, so you
should take steps to avoid such an occurrence.

Description of ESD
Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material.
To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over
a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock—the discharge
event—when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.

ESD-susceptible equipment
Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to
help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm® handheld, from ESD harm. While Palm has built
protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to
levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for
plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry
with you, such as your handheld, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have
built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another
device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.

Palm® Z22 Handheld

Precautions against ESD
Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before
touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from Palm is that
you take this precaution before connecting your handheld to your computer, placing the handheld in a cradle,
or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:
• Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that
is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard threeprong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body.
• Increase the relative humidity of your environment.
• Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.

Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences
Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:
• Low relative humidity.
• Material type. (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static
buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)
• The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices.
While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an
environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic
equipment against ESD.
