Touch Screen
Important! Do not use sharp, pointed objects on the touch screen. The touch screen is designed to be used
with your finger or the stylus that came with your device. This stylus is made specifically for a capacitive
touch screen. Anything else will harm your touch screen and may cause your device to stop working.
The touch screen is a liquid crystal display (LCD). Should the display break (unlikely except
eep in
d rinse
extreme circumstances) and you come into contact with the liquid crystal, wash and
ns yyour skin
thoroughly. Be careful to avoid splintered glass.

Restoring Windows
If you are having problems with Windows or the NuVoice software, and the suggestions under “NuVoice
Troubleshooting” did not solve them, it is important that you read the following directions carefully.
In the event that the device's hard drive or the Windows operating system quits working, the Windows
system software may need to be restored. As a rule, Windows will sense when something is wrong and
repair itself or display an “Advanced Boot Options” screen with a list of options.
Important! The Restore process will erase everything on the device's hard drive. This includes Internet
Dep
access, programs, hardware drivers, etc. Before restoring the device, call the PRC Service De
Department at
(800) 262-1990. Outside the U.S., call your distributor.
