and Off (Suspending)
Turning On Your Computer
Turn your hand-held computer on by pressing and releasing
the
[I/O]
key. When your computer is cold booted (turning
on the first time or after resetting), it displays several mes-
sages in rapid succession. The first message shows the firm-
ware version and its release date (DD/MMM/YY). If you are
just resuming, the display is restored to its previous state.
The screens that follow depend on your application. The
documentation that addresses using this computer as a
batch (store now and send later) unit instruct you about all
remaining operations.

suspended.
Terminal Emulation programs do not automatically sus-
