Re: [PilotMgr] Forgetting the date

[Ron Lott <ron.lott@xxxxxxx>]

According to Palm Support, this is a battery problem (losing days but keeping the time).

I gave up on my Palm V in favour of Handspring since the rechargeable
battery would not stay sufficiently charged. Another symptom is that the
Palm will not wake up to deliver appointment alarms. Kind of defeats the
purpose of having the device. (There was generally enough power to turn
the device on manually.)

Attempt to return the Palm resulted in receiving a "reconditioned" model with
the same problem.
