Four ways to enter data into your Palm III
™
organizer
(continued)
Using Graffiti
®
writing software
Graffiti
®
characters are similar to uppercase letters that are formed with a single stroke.
Your writing turns into text wherever the blinking cursor appears on the organizer
screen. Graffiti writing is easy, fun, accurate, and fast (up to 30 words per minute).
It’s worth taking a few minutes to learn. Just remember to write BIG and press firmly.

Using a keyboard accessory
You can connect an optional keyboard accessory to the serial connector on your
organizer and type data directly into your organizer. This accessory is particularly
helpful if you need to enter large amounts of data quickly while you are away from
your computer.

If your organizer does not turn on, try these steps before contacting
technical support:
• Adjust the contrast control.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and properly installed.
• Some models include a reset tip inside the stylus. Unscrew the tip of the stylus, or use
an unfolded paperclip, and gently press the reset button on the back of your organizer.
• If your organizer still doesn’t turn on, perform a hard reset by holding down the power
button while doing a soft reset. Wait for the Palm Computing
®
Platform logo to appear,
then release the power button.
Important:
A hard reset erases all records and entries stored in your organizer.
