General Guidelines for Grafﬁti® 2 Writing

Follow these guidelines to learn and use Grafﬁti 2 writing strokes successfully:

• To achieve 100% accuracy, practice drawing characters exactly as they appear in the tables later in this chapter.

• The heavy dot in each shape indicates where to start the stroke. Some characters have similar shapes but different starting and ending points. Always start your stroke at the heavy dot. (Do not draw the heavy dot; it is there only as a guideline.)

• The Grafﬁti 2 writing strokes for letters closely resemble letters of the standard English alphabet, both upper and lower case. Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the text input area, your handheld recognizes and displays the text character immediately.

For multi-stroke characters, a temporary character is displayed after the ﬁrst stroke, to show that the stroke was recognized.

For example, after the ﬁrst vertical stroke of “t”, a temporary “l” is shown. There is a short time delay, during which you must draw the second stroke. Otherwise, the temporary stroke is recorded.

• The text input area is divided into two parts, one for writing lowercase letters and one for writing numbers. The small marks at the top and bottom of the text input area deﬁne the division line. To have your handheld recognize letters and numbers, you must begin letter strokes on the left side and number strokes on the right side of the text input area. Uppercase letters are formed by writing across the division line.

Write lowercase letters here

Write numbers here

Tap the arrow to show or

hide the text input area

Write uppercase letters across the division line

• A special feature of the iQue handheld is a collapsible or “soft” Grafﬁti® 2 input area to maximize the display area. In some applications, you can hide the text input area by tapping on the down arrow in the lower right corner. In some Que applications, the text area is automatically hidden for full screen display. To show the text input area again, tap on the up arrow.

Blinking cursor

NOTE: A blinking cursor must appear on the screen above the Grafﬁti 2 writing area 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. You use the same shape to create both the lowercase letter and the uppercase letter .

3. Position the stylus in the left hand side of the text input area for lowercase letters or across the division line for uppercase letters.

4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the table. For example, the stroke shown below creates the letter n.

Lift stylus here

Start stroke at heavy dot

5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.

6. Your handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and displays the letter at the on-screen insertion point. As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you want to write.

Grafﬁti® 2 Tips

When using Grafﬁti 2 writing, keep the following tips in mind:

• For greater accuracy, draw letters with large strokes; strokes that nearly ﬁll the text input area are easily interpreted.

• To delete characters, set the insertion point to the right of the character you want to delete. Then draw the Backspace stroke (a line from right to left) in the text input area.

• Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can produce errors.

• Do not write at a slant. Keep vertical strokes parallel to the sides of the text input area.

• When letters and numbers can be written using two different strokes, use the one that is easiest for you.

• Press ﬁrmly.

The Grafﬁti® 2 Alphabet

Draw Grafﬁti 2 letters according to the following alphabet.

Writing Capital Letters

Grafﬁti® 2 writing automatically capitalizes the ﬁrst letter of a new record or sentence. To write additional capital letters, use the same character stroke used for a lowercase letter, but write across the division line.

Writing Numbers

To write numbers using Grafﬁti 2 strokes, draw in the right side of the text input area.

Draw numbers here

Draw numbers using the following strokes.

Writing Punctuation Marks and Other Special Characters

Using Grafﬁti 2 writing, you can create any punctuation symbol or special character available on any standard keyboard.

The period and comma punctuation marks can be written on either side of the text input area (the letter or number side). Other common punctuation marks can be written on one side or the other of the text input area according to the chart below (in general, more frequently used punctuation is on the left side).

Writing Accent Marks

When writing letters with accent marks, ﬁrst write the letter stroke on the left side (or in the center for uppercase letters) of the input area. Then quickly write the accent stroke on the right side of the input area, as shown in the following illustration.

Writing Symbols and other Special Characters

Use the Shift command to write Symbols and other special characters. To use the Shift command, make a vertical stroke from the bottom to the top in the text input area. A Shift indicator arrow arrow is visible, you can make the punctuation shift characters shown in the following illustration. Once the arrow goes away, the punctuation mark appears.

TIP: Using an additional Shift stroke to ﬁnish writing the character (as shown in the demo) is optional but will make the

character appear more quickly.

Note that when you write punctuation characters with the Shift command, you can write them on either side of the text input area. Even though this requires writing an additional stroke, you may ﬁnd it more convenient because you do not have to remember which side of the input area to make the stroke.

TIP: Samples of the character strokes are available in the Grafﬁti® 2 Help ﬁle. To view the Help ﬁle, drag the stylus from

the text input area to the top of the screen. Note that the accented characters appear on a Punctuation Shift screen but do not use the Shift command. To write uppercase accented characters, write the letter across the division mark, just as you would an ordinary letter.

Grafﬁti 2 ShortCuts allow you to quickly enter commonly-used words or phrases. ShortCuts are similar to the Glossary or Autotext features of some word processors. Grafﬁti 2 writing comes with several predeﬁned ShortCuts. You can also create your own ShortCuts for any words, letters, or numbers.

You can create ShortCuts for words or phrases up to 45 characters long using ShortCut preferences. For example, you could create a ShortCut for your name or for the header of a memo. All ShortCuts you create appear on the list in the ShortCut Preferences screen. ShortCuts are available in any of your handheld applications and are backed up on your computer when you perform a HotSync operation.

Your handheld includes the following predeﬁned Grafﬁti 2 ShortCuts for common entries:

• ds—Date stamp

• ts—Time stamp

• dts—Date/time stamp

• me—Meeting

• br—Breakfast

• lu—Lunch

• di—Dinner

To use a ShortCut, draw the ShortCut stroke followed by the ShortCut character or characters. When you draw the ShortCut stroke, the ShortCut symbol appears at the insertion point.

Basic Applications Overview: Scheduling Events

Tips for Scheduling Repeating or Continuous Events

Keep the following in mind when scheduling repeating or continuous events:

• If you change the start date of a repeating event, your handheld calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your handheld then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the repeating event.

• If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a repeating event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting) are not changed, and your handheld creates a new repeating event.

• If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., from January 14 to January 15) and apply the change to all occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your handheld adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event.

• If you change other repeat settings (for example, time, alarm, private) of a repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, your handheld creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day on which the setting is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the change) are not changed.

• If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon.

Rescheduling Events

You reschedule events using the Details option in the Date Book. You can also use the Details option to convert untimed events into timed events.

To reschedule an event:

1. Tap the event you want to reschedule.

Performing Common Tasks: Creating and Editing Records

Purging Records

Over time, as you use Date Book and the To Do List, you may accumulate records that are no longer useful. For example, events that occurred months ago remain in the Date Book and completed To Do List items remain in the list.

Outdated records take up memory on your handheld, so it’s a good idea to remove them by using Purge. If you think Date Book or To Do List records might prove useful later, you can purge them from your handheld and save them in an archive ﬁle.

Purging is not available in Address Book or Memo Pad, so records from these applications must be deleted manually.

To purge a record:

1. Open the application from which you want to purge records.

2. Choose from the following options:

• Tap the Menu icon, open the Record menu, and then tap Purge. A conﬁrmation dialog box appears.

• Tap the inverted tab at the top of the screen, tap the Record menu, and select Purge.

3. Choose from the following options:

• For the Date Book, select the Delete Events Older Than pick list and select an option—1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks or 1 month.

• For the Date Book or To Do list, select Save Archive Copy on PC to save a copy of purged records in an archive ﬁle on your desktop. Selecting this option transfers purged records to an archive ﬁle the next time you perform a HotSync® operation.

4. Tap

OK.

Categorizing Records

You can categorize records in the Address Book, To Do List and Memo Pad applications for easy retrieval. (The Date Book does not have categories.) When you create a record, it is automatically assigned to the currently displayed category. For example, if the All category is displayed, the record is assigned to the Unﬁled category. A record can remain unﬁled or it can be assigned to a category at any time.

Each application has a default set of categories:

• The Address Book includes Business, Personal, and QuickList categories.

• The To Do List includes Business, Personal, and All categories.

• The Memo Pad includes Business, Personal, and All categories.

You can rename or delete the default categories, and you can create new categories. Each application can have up to ﬁfteen categories.

To move a record into a category:

1. Select the record you want to categorize.

2. Tap

3. In the Details dialog box, tap the

Details. (From the Address View screen, tap Edit ﬁrst.)

Category pick list, select the desired category, and then tap OK.

Performing Common Tasks: Finding Records

Finding Records

Your handheld lets you ﬁnd information in several ways:

• In standard Palm OS® applications, starting with the current application, you can locate selected text.

• In the Date Book, the To Do List, and the Memo Pad, you can use Phone Lookup to display the Address List screen and add the information from this list to a record.

• In the Address Book, you can use the Look Up option to enter the ﬁrst letters of a name to scroll immediately to that name.

Finding Address Book Records

You can look up Address Book records using the scroll button on the front panel of your device or by typing the ﬁrst few letters of a name in the Look Up option at the bottom of the address screen.

To look up an Address Book record, do one of the following:

• From the Address screen, enter the ﬁrst few letters of the name you want to locate.

• Use the scroll buttons on the front of the device to scroll a screen at a time. Holding down a scroll button accelerates scrolling.

Using the Find Option

The Find option lets you locate text in any standard Palm OS applications on your iQue handheld. For example, if the text “dog” appears in the Address Book and the Date Book, the Find option displays both occurrences in the Find dialog box.

Using the Attention Manager: Insistent Alarms

CHAPTER 6: USING THE ATTENTION MANAGER

Many applications (such as Date Book and Clock) notify you (get your attention) with some sort of alarm. Attention Manager allows you to conveniently manage all of these notiﬁcations in one place. Alarms for appointments and messages can stack up while you are away from your device. Attention Manager lets you view them from a single list, where you can selectively dismiss or follow up on each event.

Applications signal for your attention at two different levels: insistent and subtle. Each is discussed in detail in this chapter.

Insistent Alarms

Insistent alarms open a Reminder dialog screen and may play a sound, ﬂash an LED, or vibrate, depending on your hardware conﬁguration. screen or pushing any button. Attention Manager will always open immediately when new insistent alarms are posted.

Alarms continue until you snooze or dismiss them. If enabled, you can silence the alarm by tapping anywhere on the

Using the Reminder Dialog Screen

The Reminder dialog screen has three buttons for responding to an alarm:

• OK: Makes the reminder go away, with no further notiﬁcation.

• Snooze: Puts the Reminder dialog screen to sleep for ﬁve minutes. After this time interval, the Reminder dialog screen appears again. You can go back to the Reminder dialog screen right away by tapping on the blinking indicator in the upper left corner of the screen. For more information, see “Understanding the Blinking Alarm Indicator” later in this chapter.

• Go To: Switches to the application that created the alarm and shows the record that caused the alarm, although you may have to navigate within the application. The alarm does not go off again.

Using the Reminders List Screen

The Reminder dialog screen changes to a list of items that require your attention under two insistent alarm conditions:

• When a second application attempts to get your attention and the ﬁrst has not been dismissed or snoozed.

• When a ﬁrst application makes a second attempt and the ﬁrst has not been dismissed or snoozed.

Each listed reminder contains the date and time of the event. Depending on the application displaying the reminder, you may see an icon representing the application and up to two lines of text.

Tap the text or icon to open that item and delete the event from the Reminders list screen.

Tap the check box to clear that item (similar to a To Do list item). The Attention Manager draws a line through the text lines, pauses for a moment, and them removes the item from the list, although the original data remains in the application.

The Reminders list screen displays three buttons that are used to respond to all of the items in the list:

• Done: If the Reminders list appeared because of more than one insistent alarm, tapping Done closes the Reminders list screen, although the events remain in the application that created them. The Reminders list screen does not appear again unless you tap the blinking alarm indicator in the menu bar.

• Snooze: Puts the Reminders list screen to sleep for ﬁve minutes. After this time interval, the Reminders list screen appears again. You can go directly to the Reminders list screen by tapping on the blinking alarm indicator. For more detail, see “Understanding the Blinking Alarm Indicator” later in this chapter.

• Clear All: Removes all of the items from the list, but does not close the Reminders screen. Tap this button to erase a list of events that have passed.

HotSync® Operations: Performing a HotSync Operation for the First Time

CHAPTER 9: EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC® OPERATIONS

HotSync® technology lets you synchronize (exchange and update) data between one or more iQue handhelds and Palm™ Desktop software or another PIM such as Microsoft and Palm Desktop software. Changes you make on your handheld or Palm Desktop software appear in both places after a HotSync operation. HotSync technology synchronizes only the needed portions of ﬁles, thus reducing synchronization time.

You can synchronize your data by connecting your handheld directly to your computer with the cradle or indirectly with a modem or network. You can also perform HotSync operations using InfraRed if your personal computer supports it. This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a HotSync operation via infrared communications, modem, or network.

Performing a HotSync Operation for the First Time

You should have synchronized your iQue handheld for the ﬁrst time when you used the Setup CD. If you did not synchronize your handheld at that time, you may experience problems. Refer to the Setup Guide included with the Setup CD for more instructions.

If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a group of users, you may want to create a user proﬁle.

See

“Creating a User Proﬁle” later in this chapter before performing the following steps.

Performing the First Local HotSync Operation

You must perform your ﬁrst HotSync operation with a local, direct connection, rather than using a modem.

The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop software. If you have not installed this software, see the Setup Guide included with the Setup CD for instructions.

To perform a local HotSync operation:

1. Insert your handheld into the cradle. The bottom edge of the handheld should align smoothly with the cradle when it is inserted properly.

2. Open the HotSync

The HotSync Manager must be running for the HotSync operation to proceed. If it is running, the HotSync icon

appears in the Windows system tray. If the HotSync Manager is not running, click the Start button on the Windows desktop and choose Programs. Click the Palm™ Desktop software program group and choose HotSync Manager. You can also start the Palm Desktop software, which automatically opens the HotSync Manager.

3. Press the HotSync button on the cradle.

NOTE: If you are using an optional HotSync cable instead of a cradle, tap the HotSync icon in the Applications Launcher

window on your iQue; then tap the HotSync icon in the HotSync application.

4. Select the user name you entered when you installed Palm Desktop software. The HotSync Progress dialog box appears and synchronization begins.

Every handheld should have a unique name. To prevent loss of a user’s records, never try to synchronize more than

one handheld to the same user name.
