About This Guide
Welcome! This guide describes all you need to know about using
your Wrist PDATM watch and the applications that come with it.
Before using your watch as a personal digital assistant (PDA), you
may want to look at the first two chapters of this guide to learn about
its basic features and how to write on the screen using the built-in
handwriting software. Then see chapter 4 for details on using the
main applications: Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, and Memo
Pad.
After you become familiar with your watch’s basic features, you can
use this guide as a reference for less common tasks, and also as a
source of information if you have problems operating the watch.
NOTE: To set up your Wrist PDA, follow the instructions in the
Getting Started
booklet.

Using the handwriting software
Learning to write characters
With only a few minutes of practice, you will find it easy to enter
accurate text and numbers using Jot. The Jot tutorial shows you
how to use the handwriting software.
To practice using Jot:
1. Press Back until you see the Launcher’s All category.
2. Select and open Jot.
3. Tap Tutorial.
4. Tap a letter to see how it is written, then try writing it yourself.
General Guidelines for Jot Writing
Follow these guidelines to successfully learn and use Jot writing:
• To achieve 100% accuracy, practice drawing characters
exactly as they appear in the tables later in this chapter.
• The heavy dot on each shape shows where
to start the stroke. Some characters have
similar shapes, but different starting and
ending points. Always start the stroke at the
heavy dot. (Do not draw the heavy dot; it is
there only as a guideline.)
• The Jot writing strokes for letters closely resemble letters of
the standard English alphabet, both uppercase and
lowercase. Most characters require only a single stroke.
When you lift the stylus from the screen, your watch
recognizes and displays the character immediately.
For multi-stroke characters, a temporary character appears
after the first stroke, to show that the stroke was recognized.
For example, after the first vertical stroke of “t”, a temporary
“l” appears. There is a short time period, during which you
must draw the second stroke. Otherwise the temporary
stroke is recorded.

Writing on the Screen
Dividi
k
Using the handwriting software
• The screen is divided into two parts, one for lowercase letters
and one for numbers. You must begin letter strokes on the
left side, and number strokes on the right.
NOTE: To turn on the screen-dividing mark (shown below),
select and open Jot and make sure Show mode mark is
checked.
ng mar
Write lowercase
letters on this side
Write numbers

• Jot writing automatically capitalizes the first letter of a new
record or sentence. To write additional capital letters, draw a
lowercase letter, but start the stroke on the left side of the
screen and write across the dividing mark in the middle.
To write Jot letters:
1. Tap the screen where you want to write text, for example, on a line
next to a time in Date Book.
NOTE: A blinking cursor must appear onscreen before you can
begin writing text.
2. Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke shape for
the letter you want to write. For example, the stroke shown below
creates the letter n.
Start stroke at
heavy dot.
3. Position the stylus in the left side of the screen.
24

Writing on the Screen
Using the handwriting software
4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape as it
appears in the tables.
5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
Your watch recognizes your stroke immediately and displays the
letter at the insertion point onscreen. As soon as you lift the stylus
from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you
want to write.
Jot tips
When using Jot writing, keep these tips in mind:
• For greater accuracy, draw letters with large strokes; strokes
that nearly fill the screen are easily interpreted.
• To delete characters, set the insertion point to the right of the
character you want to delete, and draw the Backspace
stroke (a line from right to left).
• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can produce errors.
• Do not write at a slant (like italics). Keep vertical strokes
parallel to the sides of the screen.
• When letters and numbers can be written using two different
strokes, use the one that is easier for you.
• Press firmly.

Selecting and editing text
Using the Jot Tuner
The Jot Tuner provides alternative strokes for making the I, K, P, T,
Y, and $ characters. For example, you may want to form the letter
“T” by using strokes similar to a space and an “L”. But if this
technique is difficult to control, you can turn off this option.
NOTE: The Jot application, tutorial, and option settings are
available in the English language only.
To use the Tuner:
1. Press Back until you see the Launcher’s All category.
2. Select and open Jot.
3. Tap Tuner.
4. Tap one of the letters available for you to tune.
5. Insert a check mark to select the alternate stroke; then tap Done.
6. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for other letters.
7. Tap Done.
Selecting and editing text
After you enter text, you can change,
delete, or add to it at any time. When the
screen is in edit mode, a blinking cursor
appears within the text, and the text
appears on a dotted gray line called an
edit line.

Using ShortCuts
ShortCuts let you quickly and easily enter commonly used words or
phrases. ShortCuts are similar to the Glossary or Autotext features
of some word processors. Jot writing comes with several predefined
ShortCuts. You can also create your own, for any words, letters, or
numbers.
You can create ShortCuts, with up to 45 characters, using ShortCut
preferences. For example, you can create a ShortCut for your name
or the header of a memo. All ShortCuts you create appear in
ShortCut Preferences, are available in any of your watch
applications, and are backed up on your computer when you
perform a HotSync operation.
Your watch includes these predefined ShortCuts:
• ds—Date stamp
• ts—Time stamp
• dts—Date/time
• br—Breakfast
• lu—Lunch
• di—Dinner
• me—Meeting
To use a ShortCut:
Draw the ShortCut stroke, followed by the
ShortCut character(s). When you draw the
ShortCut
stroke
ShortCut stroke, the ShortCut symbol appears at
the insertion point.
