Proper care and usage of your Acer n300
Your Acer n300’s rugged and tough construction is designed to provide you with years of reliable and trouble-free service. Observing the following general maintenance procedures will help ensure this:
Take care not to scratch the screen of your handheld. Keep the screen clean. When working with your handheld, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with touch-sensitive screens. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on the screen surface.
Your handheld is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture.
Under extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry through the front panel buttons or expansion slots. In general, treat your handheld as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic device.
Take care not to drop your handheld or subject it to any strong impact. Do not place your handheld in your back pocket; if you sit on it, you may damage it.
Protect your handheld from temperature extremes. For example, do not leave your handheld on the dashboard of a car on a hot day or on a day when temperatures are below the freezing point. Also, keep it away from heaters and other sources of heat.
Do not use or store your handheld in any location that is extremely dusty, damp or wet. Always use the (included) SD dummy card to protect the connectors when not in use.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your handheld. If the surface of the screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with diluted window-cleaning solution.
You can also use n300 series pouch to clean your handheld (included).

• Using the tip of your stylus, lightly press the reset button inside the hole on the bottom of your handheld.
Performing a hard reset
A hard reset will erase all records and entries stored in your handheld. Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not correct your problem. To perform a hard reset:
