For information on upgrading from another Palm

 handheld and additional 

troubleshooting tips, see 

Palm

 

Tungsten

 W Handheld Getting Started

, included 

in your handheld package.

Your handheld operates in voice mode and wireless data mode, but it cannot operate 
in both modes at the same time. For example, while you use the phone, you cannot 
wirelessly download e-mail or browse the web.

The indicator light does not go on

Try the following:

  1. Seat your handheld firmly in the cradle.

  2. Connect the power adapter securely to the cradle.

  3. Make sure that the power adapter is plugged into a 

working

 electric outlet.

Try the following:

Charge your handheld for another full two hours.

If this doesn’t work, try the following:

  •  

Press any application button to ensure that your handheld is turned on.

  • 

Perform a soft reset: Use the tip of your stylus or an unfolded paper clip (or similar  

    object 

without

 a sharp tip) to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the   

    back panel of your handheld.

Problem with a third-party application

Some third-party applications may not have been upgraded to be compatible with your 
new Palm

 handheld. If you suspect that a third-party application is affecting the 

operation of your handheld, contact the developer of the application. You can find 
information about the Tungsten

 W by doing one of the following:

  • 

Go to www.rogers.com/tungstenw and click the link leading to information about  

    the handheld.

  • 

Read the readme file for your handheld. After you install Palm

 Desktop software  

    on your computer, open the Palm folder. The readme file is located in the  

 

    Helpnote folder.

Signal strength is weak

Turn on the Mobile application (see step 4) and then open it by inserting the headset 
connector into the voice jack. Check the Signal Strength bar graph while you try 
the following:

  • 

Move away from your original location, five to ten feet in any direction.

  • 

Stand near a window and open metal blinds.

  • 

Move outdoors, above ground, to a less crowded area.
