Introduction

Introducing the StarTAC® clipOn Organizer

Congratulations on your purchase of the StarTAC clipOn
Organizer. Attaching directly to your StarTA C phone, the
StarTAC clipOn enables you to store, view, and edit thousands
of names, numbers, appointments, notes, and tasks in a space
smaller than the average wallet.

When the clipOn is attached to the StarTAC phone, placing a
call is easy: select a contact on the clipOn and press the
button. The clipOn promptly dials the number for you.

Customize the clipOn to work the way you do. For example,
select right-handed or left-handed operation with one easy
choice on the Preferences screen.

Add contacts, names, tasks, and events on your clipOn, and
then synchronize to a personal information manager (PIM)
such as TrueSync
use personal information manager that is included with your
purchase. To learn more about TrueSync Desktop and
synchronization, see Chapters 5 and 6.

Click on your choice from the list:

Each client’s column lists the files,
folders, or categories available for
synchronization on that client. If you
add items and do not see them in the
list, click the Refresh List button.

If you align <not mapped>
in one column with an
item in another column, it
means that item will not
be synchronized.

If you select an item
followed by <add>, it will
be created during
synchronization.

The number of items you
can synchronize to a
device is limited by the
device.

The number of files, folders, or categories that you can select is
limited by devices. For example, suppose you have four
Contacts folders set up for synchronization to a device, the
limit for that device. You then decide to synchronize another
Contacts folder. Before you can do so, you will need to
deselect one of your mapped Contacts folders because of the
device limit.

Selecting and mapping Contacts fields

The term “mapping fields” refer s to mat ching one cl ient’s field
with another client’s field. For example, you might map a field
called “Home Phone” on T rueSync Desktop with a field called
“Personal Phone” on your device.

To map your Contacts fields:

1

Select Data | Contacts and click the Fields tab.

2

Highlight the files or categories containing the fields that
you want to map.

To save space on your device, unmap any fields you do not
normally use.

Changing your preferences

To change the preferences for any client, choose Client |
<clientname> options or click on the client’s icon in the
TrueSync window. This displays the client’s Options Page
described in “Changing synchronization options” on page 41.
Depending on the client, there may be additional client
preferences; click the additional tab(s), and change the options
as desired. For assistance, click the Help button on each page.
