| The handheld is not responding
to the stylus.
Open
the Prefs menu. This might take a few tries,
since your handheld is already acting funny with the stylus!
In the upper right hand corner, select Digitizer
from the pull down menu. Redigitize your handheld. It would
be a good idea to do this several times,
incase it doesn't quite work the first time.

| The handheld is not sending
and/or receiving beams.
Here are
a few things to check when your handheld is having problems
beaming:
1. Are the handhelds on the same plane? It's
best to set them both on a desk facing each other to beam.
2. Are the handhelds close enough so the beaming signal
is received? It's probably best if the handhelds
are within several inches of each other.
3. Wipe off the infrared eye on both handhelds where
the signal is sent. (On m130s this is on the top
of the upper left side of the handheld.) This will clear any
kind of buildup from dirty fingers, erasure or dust, etc.
4. Check to make sure each handheld is set to receive
beams. Go to the Pref menu. In the upper right hand
corner, select General from the pull down menu. Is the handheld
set to receive beams? If that preference is turned off, turn
it on by clicking on the down arrow.

| The keyboard is not responding when the
handheld is connected to it.
If your
keyboard is not responding:
1. First of all make sure they handheld is securely
attached to the keyboard.
2. Do you have a keyboard driver on the handheld?

the keyboard driver, then beam the driver from another handheld.)

enabled. To do this, click on the Keyboard program
on the home menu. Make sure "Enable Diver" is checked. If
