INTRODUCTION > SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE IQUE
With your iQue® handheld, you can successfully manage meetings and appointments, remember people’s names and personal
details, and keep track of all the items on your To Do List both at work and at home.
You will find it easy to start using the iQue handheld, become familiar with its physical buttons and controls, and use HotSync®
technology to synchronize (exchange and update) your iQue handheld and Palm™ Desktop software. When you familiarize yourself
with the basic workings of the iQue handheld, you can easily do the following:
• Enter all your schedule details in the Date Book and view them by the day, week, or month. You can also set an alarm to
remind you of an important event.
• Keep all your contact names, addresses, phone numbers, and other details in the Address Book.
• Add your tasks to the To Do List, prioritize them, and assign them a due date.
• Ensure that you do not lose any important information by synchronizing your data with Palm Desktop software on your
computer to create a backup copy.
• Customize your handheld and set different levels of security to prevent unauthorized users from viewing your data.
This manual describes how to use the Palm™ applications included with your iQue handheld. To learn how to use QueNav, the GPS
software on your iQue 3000, please refer to the Quick Reference Guide included in your product box.
System Requirements
To install and operate Palm Desktop software on your computer, the computer system must meet the following requirements:
• IBM-compatible 486 computer or higher
• 8 MB RAM (memory) minimum, 16 MB recommended (required with Windows NT 4.0)
• 20 MB available hard disk space
• Microsoft® Windows® 98/2000/ME/XP
• VGA monitor or better
• DVD-ROM drive
• Mouse or other pointing device
• One available USB port
In addition, the following equipment is optional:
• Modem
• Windows-compatible printer
NOTE: The iQue 3000 is not fully compatible with Macintosh computers at this time. For more information, please refer
to the FAQs link in the Support section of the Garmin Web site, www.garmin.com.

• Reset Button: Under normal circumstances, you should not have to use the reset button. See “Resetting your iQue” later in
this chapter for information on when and how to use the reset button.
• Speaker: Internal speaker for listening to voice-guided navigation commands and MP3 files.
• Flip-up Integrated GPS Antenna: Open for satellite reception and GPS navigation. To extend battery life, keep the antenna
closed when you are not using the iQue for navigation.
NOTE: This antenna is designed to receive satellite signals most clearly when it is positioned parallel to the horizon. If the
antenna is positioned vertically, the iQue’s ability to receive satellites may be dramatically reduced.
Using the Stylus
Just as you use a mouse pointer to click elements on your computer screen, you can use the stylus to tap elements on your
handheld’s touch-sensitive screen. Tapping is the basic action used to execute tasks on your handheld.
IMPORTANT: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the handheld screen. Do not use a pen,
pencil, or any other sharp object to write on the handheld screen. If you misplace your stylus, visit www.garmin.com for
information on a replacement.
With your handheld turned on, you can tap the handheld screen to perform many operations:
• Open applications.
• Choose menu commands.
• Enter data.
• Select options in dialog boxes.
• Open the on-screen keyboard.
Just as you drag the mouse to select text or move objects on your computer, you can drag the stylus on the screen of your iQue to
select text. In addition, you can use the stylus to drag the slider of any scroll bar.
