Press F1 for Online Help

95LX 100/200LX

Press (F1) on any HP Palmtop to get online help wherever you are. Let's say you are a new user of the HP 200LX and open up Appointment Book for the first time. Just press (F1) and you get the Appointment List help screen, describing the basic features of APPT, describing the various symbols used in the Appointment Book list view and how you move to different days and weeks, and change the duration of appointment slots.

 Note that certain words or phrases are highlighted on the 95LX and outlined (boxed in) on the 100/200LX. You can use the up and down arrow keys to move to these words or phrases, and then press (ENTER) to get a more detailed description of what it means or how to use it if it is a feature.

 Help is "context-sensitive" in that Help screen displayed by pressing (F1) relates not only to the application you are in, but to the specific feature you are using. For example, you are back in Appointment Book on the 100LX and you press (MENU) Options Alarm Beep to change the sound of the alarm on your Palmtop. The Alarm Beep dialogue screen is unfamiliar and you don't know what to do, so you press (F1) and get the following screen.

 This screen gives basic information on how to adjust volume and change the sound of your alarm.

 Help screens are available for all the built-in applications on the HP 95/100/200LX.
