TO RECALL A BUSINESS CARD FILE
Three methods can be used to recall information stored
in the BUSINESS CARD FILE directory:
1. NUMERIC-ALPHA SEARCH (Searches all files in
numerical, then alphabetical order)
2. DIRECT SEARCH (Matches files with the initial or digit
of the one you are looking for)
3. ROTARY DIAL SEARCH (Shows each file in numerical
then alphabetical order, similar to a manual Rolodex
cardfile)
NUMERIC-ALPHA SEARCH
1. Press the BUSINESS CARD FILE key .
2. Press and hold down the FWD key to fast-forward
through all the files rapidly, or press it repeatedly to
view file by file. (Press the REV key to view the previous file).
3. When the entire BUSINESS CARD FILE directory has
been viewed, the unit automatically returns to the first
file and repeats the process.
DIRECT SEARCH
1. Press the BUSINESS CARD FILE key.
2. Type the first numbers or letters of the file name you
are looking for. The first file that matches those characters will appear on the display screen.
3. To view a different file while a file is currently displayed, type the first numbers or letters of the file
name and the direct search process will begin again.
At any time you can press the FWD or REV key or turn
the rotary knob to view the next or previous file.

ROTARY DIAL SEARCH
This unique “electronic” rotary dial allows you to spin
through your BUSINESS CARD FILES for easy access
and viewing. Turn the dial away from you to view files in
alphabetical order (A-Z), or toward you to display them in
reverse order (Z-A).
1. Press the BUSINESS CARD FILE key.
2. Turn the dial to view files in forward or reverse order.
TO VIEW FILES THAT EXCEED SIX LINES
1. Recall a file.
2. Press the “UP” or “DOWN” arrow keys to view the
contents by line.
3. Press the “LAST” or “NEXT” key to view the contents
by page. When viewing by page, the name of the file
remains on the first line but the next five lines will
appear from the next page.
TO EDIT A BUSINESS CARD FILE
At any time you may edit the contents of an existing file
such as changing, adding or deleting information.
An edited file replaces the original file. Before using the
edit function, read this section carefully as various editing
options are available.
1. Recall the file to be edited.
2. Press the ERASE key. The flashing cursor appears
on or after the last character on the top line.
5
For example:
Press the ERASE key to delete the character at the
blinking cursor location. If a blank space appears
on the blinking cursor, the character to the left of the
cursor will be erased.
3. Continue to press the ERASE key to backspace and
delete unwanted characters.
To selectively erase characters, press the REV/FWD
key to move the cursor left and right. Position the cursor at the character to be changed or erased, then
press the ERASE key.
4. Type new data if desired.
5. Press the DOWN arrow key to move the cursor down a
line. Pressing the UP or DOWN arrow keys will move
the cursor to the last character of the previous or next
line of the display screen.
NOTE: You may encounter an INVALID FILE message
when editing a file that has been transferred from a 64K
Electronic Rolodex File to the 128K unit . The 64K unit
places the telephone number and fax number of a file on
one line instead of two. An empty space is sometimes
created before the second number when it is placed on
two lines in the 128K unit. The empty character space at
the beginning of a line must be removed before any information in the file can be edited and saved. Leaving the
empty space will prevent you from changing the file.

To insert spaces between characters of an existing file:

want to enter a space or new character. For example:
2. Type new data then press the SPACE key.
Typing new characters at the blinking cursor will shift
the characters on or after the cursor location to the
right. This maintains the original text while inserting
additional characters or spaces.
NOTE: If a line of a file has already used the entire
available character spaces, the line is considered full.
New information cannot be added to the line unless an
existing character is erased first.
