When you tap on a program icon, the netBook will open the
program with the file that you last used. If you only use one
Agenda file, for example, this will always be displayed when you
tap the Agenda icon.
However, if you move or rename your file, the netBook will not
be able to find this “last used” file when you tap the program
icon. So, it looks for a file with a standard filename (e.g. Word,
Agenda, Sheet etc.) and displays this file instead. If there is no file
with this name in the standard folder, a new file is created.
You can re-open the original file from its new location using the
Open file command on the File menu.

If you forget a password set for a Word or Sheet file, you will not
be able to open the file again until you remember the correct
password.
If you forget the password set for the whole machine, you will
not be able to use the netBook until you perform a “hard reset”.
All the files on the Internal disk will be lost and cannot be
retrieved.
See ‘How do I reset the netBook’ for more information.

If the netBook doesn’t seem to turn on:
•
Check the screen contrast to make sure it isn’t set too low.
•
Recharge the battery. If you continue to use the netBook
when the main battery is low, it will eventually not have
enough power and will switch off. You will not be able to
switch it on again until you connect the mains adapter and
recharge the battery.
If the netBook doesn’t seem to turn off:
•
Check the automatic switch off time using the Switch on/
off icon from the Control panel in the System screen.
Note: If you use OPL, note that a running OPL program can
prevent automatic switch off if it neither pauses nor waits for a
keypress.
