GETTING STARTED > PARTS OF THE IQUE M3
Buttons
Use the buttons to open programs and perform actions. To change how a button behaves or which program it opens, see page 40.
• Power—press and release to turn the device on or off. Press and hold to turn the backlight on or off.
• REC—press to open the Notes program. Press and hold to record a message. Release to stop recording. See page 22.
• Calendar—press to open the Calendar program. See page 15.
• Contacts—press to open the Contacts program. See page 17.

LEDs
The Charging/Notification LED light at the top of your device flashes and changes color:
• Solid Amber—your device is charging.
• Solid Green—your device has finished charging.
• Flashing Green—your device is notifying you of an event or an alarm. See page 16.
• Flashing Amber—your device is in GPS Standby mode. In GPS Standby mode, the screen is turned off but the system
remains on because the GPS antenna is still open. To save battery power, close your GPS antenna when not in use.
Using the Stylus
On your device, use the stylus to select items just as you would use a mouse on your personal computer. To remove the stylus, push
up on the head of the stylus and lift it from the top of the device.
• Tap—touch the screen once with the stylus to open items and select options.
• Drag—hold the stylus on the screen and drag it across the screen to select text and images. Drag the stylus in a list to select
multiple items. If you select an item by accident, drag the stylus away from the item to deselect.
• Tap and Hold—tap and hold the stylus on an item to see a pop-up menu for that item. A blue circle of dots appears where
you are tapping on the screen. When the menu appears, lift the stylus and tap a menu item. Tap anywhere outside the menu to
close it without selecting anything. The items in pop-up menus vary from program to program.
NOTE: Pop-up menus are disabled in QueNav. You cannot tap and hold with the stylus to access features on any
QueNav page.

Resetting the iQue M3
You may need to reset your device if it stops responding to stylus taps or button presses or if it stops functioning normally. A “soft”
reset is much like rebooting your personal computer.
To reset your device (soft):
Use the stylus to press and quickly release the Reset button on the bottom of your device.
A “hard” reset erases all entries, records, and settings in your device (erases all data stored in RAM).
IMPORTANT: Use a hard reset only if your device malfunctions severely or if a soft reset does not correct your problem.
To reset your device (hard):
1. Press and hold the REC and Contacts buttons while you press the Reset button with the stylus.
2. Release the Reset button first. Then release the REC and Contact buttons. A blue screen appears asking “Delete all your programs,
data, and settings in memory?”
3. Press the Que button to select Yes or the Calendar button to select No. If you select Yes, another question appears: “Also delete all
your permanent storage?” Select Yes to delete contacts, appointments, and other PIM data. The iQue M3 resets itself.
If other reset methods fail, use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for approximately 8 seconds. Your device turns on
automatically after you release the Reset button and starts as normal. This method of resetting automatically deletes all user data.
The Today Screen
When you turn on your device for the first time each day, the Today screen appears. You can also display it by tapping
and then Today. On the Today screen, you can see important information for the day at a glance.

Shows current GPS status.
