Although you create an HP webOS Account by entering a valid email
address, setting up an HP webOS Account is different from setting up
email on your device. To set up email, see Set up email. To change your
HP webOS Account information after you set it up, see Update your HP
webOS Account settings.
Turn your device on/off
Your device’s screen can be turned on and off separately from its wireless
services (which are the Wi-Fi app, Bluetooth
®
app, and VPN
app). This means you can wake up the screen to use just the organizer
features of your device (Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and so on) without
turning on the wireless features. Also, when the screen is turned off,
wireless services can be on.
Why the screen goes dark
When the device is on and idle, the screen first dims and then turns off.
This is normal behavior, caused by the auto shut-off interval. You can
adjust this auto shut-off interval to be as long as 10 minutes (see Set the
interval for turning the screen off automatically). At first, the screen dims
as a power-saving measure. Just tap the screen to brighten it. Then, if your
device remains inactive for the full interval you set, the screen turns itself
off. Press the power button to turn the screen back on.
NOTE If you can’t turn the screen back on, see The screen appears blank for
instructions.
Turn the screen on/off
To turn the screen on, do one of the following:
• Press the power button. Drag up to unlock the screen.
* Power
• Press Center . Drag up to unlock the screen.
To turn the screen off, press the power button.
NOTE Pressing the power button to turn the screen off also works when your
device is placed on a Touchstone (sold separately).
Turn wireless services off (airplane mode)
Airplane mode turns off your device’s wireless services (which are the
Wi-Fi app, VPN app, and Bluetooth
®
app). Use airplane
mode when you are on a plane or anywhere else you need to turn off all
wireless services. You can’t browse the web, but you can still use apps like
Calendar, Contacts, Photos & Videos, Music, Quickoffice
®
mobile office
software, and Adobe Reader.
Do one of the following:
• Tap the upper-right corner of any screen to open the system menu. Tap
Turn on Airplane Mode.
