About PsiWin 2
You can use the PC connectivity software PsiWin 2 to integrate
the Series5 with PCs running Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0. By
connecting the Series5 to a PC with a Docking cable and
running PsiWin, you can:
• View your Series5 files from Windows Explorer by using
the My Psion icon which is added to the PCs Desktop.
The My Psion icon gives you access to all of PsiWins
powerful file management facilities for your Series5 files.
• Upgrade from an earlier model of Psion handheld
computer to a Series5 as a one-stop process. All your
files will be copied from your old Psion (Series3/3a/3c/3mx
or Siena), converted to the Series5 file formats on the PC,
then copied to your Series5.
• Drag and drop files between the Series5 and the PC in
the same way that you would between PC drives, and they
will be automatically converted to the appropriate file
format at the same time.
• Synchronize Agenda files your address book on the
Series5 with PC agendas (applications) and contact
managers to keep them in step with each other.
• Back up your Series5 files to the PC, then restore them
from the PC to the Series 5 again should you ever need to.
• Print files on your Series5 to a printer connected directly
to your PC, or available to your PC via a network.
Using this manual
This manual gives an overview of all the Series5 functions and
features to give you an idea of what you can do; for more
detailed information than is given here, refer to the Series5 and
PsiWin on-line help.
• Read the first part of this chapter to find out how to get the
Series5 ready for use: fit the batteries, switch on, adjust
the screen, find and practice with the pen and start using
the software.
• Read Things to do first! to find out the essential things to
do when you first get your Series5 - this covers setting the
time and date, setting your home city (so that the time
differences from your home are calculated correctly) and
setting owner information and a machine password.
• Move on to Things to do next! for a list of the programs
and a brief overview of what else you may want to do when
you first use your Series5 - instructions for using PsiWin to
connect to your PC and perform backups and more ideas
for customising your Series5.
• Read the Files, folders and programs chapter for more
information about how to enter and manage the
information on your Series5.
• Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter if you have any
problems using the Series5.

Getting started 7
Switching on
Fitting the batteries
Before you can use the Series 5 you must fit both sets of
batteries, as shown below. Make sure you fit them the
correct way around. The Series 5 is powered by:
• two AA size Duracell Ultra batteries (supplied). Psion
recommend using high power alkaline batteries, such as
Duracell Ultra.
• one Lithium CR2032 backup battery (supplied). This
preserves your information while you change the main
batteries.
Take care when replacing batteries!
You will lose information if you remove both sets of batteries at the
same time, or allow both sets of batteries to become completely
run down. The Series 5 will warn you when its batteries are getting
low, in plenty of time to change them. See the Care & safety
chapter for more about battery safety, and details of how to change
the batteries.
You can also power the Series 5 from the mains. You should
ONLY use Psion approved mains adaptors. Contact your Psion
distributor or local Psion retailer for more information.
Turning on & off
• To switch on: press the Esc key. When you first do this,
youll see the System screen.
Note: The Series 5 will automatically switch on when an alarm
rings, or if you press one of the external voice note buttons.
• To switch off: hold down the Fn key and press the Esc key.
You can switch off at any time. You do not have to save your
information first, as it is automatically saved for you.
Note: If you do not press a key, the Series 5 will automatically
switch off after 3 minutes to save battery power. Switch it on
again, and you can continue from where you left off.
Can I switch on the Series 5 by tapping the screen?
Yes. You can set up your Series5 to switch on when you tap the
touch-sensitive screen. To do this, open the Switch on/off icon
from the Control Panel in the System screen.

The screen
Adjust the screen contrast by holding down the Fn key and
pressing the M ( ) or . ( ) key.
Change the size of the text on the screen using the Zoom in and
Zoom out commands.
Switch the backlight on and off by holding down the Fn key
and pressing the Spacebar. You can use the backlight to light up
the screen in dim conditions.
Important: Note that the Series 5 uses considerably more
battery power when the backlight is on.
Finding & using the pen
The pen is located in a holder at the right, near the back. Press
the end of it in gently, and it will pop out. To replace it, push it
back in and it will click into place.
Note: If the pen doesnt click into place, see the
Troubleshooting chapter for more details.
Tap lightly on the screen using the pen. Its OK to use your
fingers to tap on the screen, though it is best to use the pen to
avoid fingerprints or smudges on the screen. Do not tap the
screen with any object that has a sharp tip or you may damage
the screen. Dont use any type of ink pen, as the ink may be
impossible to remove. See the Care & safety chapter for
instructions on how to clean the screen.
You can usually tap on an item with the pen to select or change
it. For example, you can tap on:
• the program icons, to open a program.
• the command icons, for shortcuts to System functions,
e.g. the menu bar, Infrared, cutting and pasting, zooming in
and out.
Note: If the screen doesnt respond to your taps, you may need
to re-calibrate it. You can do this by opening the Screen icon
from the Control panel.
Most of the things you can do with the pen have an equivalent
keyboard combination, so you can use the pen, the keyboard, or
a combination of both methods.
First steps
When you first switch on the Series5, you will see the System
screen. This is the desktop where you can view your files and
folders, and change settings that control how the Series5
works.
• All the information you enter into the Series5 is contained
in files; their names are displayed in the System screen,
beside icons that represent the programs that created
them.
• All your files are stored in folders. When you start using the
Series5, the contents of the Documents folder is
displayed.
• The System screens Title bar shows you which folder is
currently displayed on the screen. When you start you are
in the Documents folder on the C (Internal) drive.
You can have as many folders as you wish, and create folders
within other folders. Folders can contain files created in a variety
of programs; they are not restricted to files from a single
program. See Files, folders & programs for details of managing
files and folders.
Navigating between files & folders
• Tap on a folder icon to move to that folder, tap on the
Close folder icon to close it and move back up a level.
• Tap on a file to select it, tap again to open it. If the filename
is displayed in bold, the file is open, and tapping it will move
straight to the file.
See Files, folders & programs for more information about
manipulating files and folders.

Starting programs
When you open or move to a file, the correct program for this
file is started automatically. You can also start programs by
tapping on the appropriate program icon (the icon in the row
of pictures at the bottom of the screen).
• Tap the System icon at any time to move to the System
screen.
• Tap on Extras to display the Extras bar, which contains
more program icons.
You dont have to close one program before opening another,
just tap on another program icon, and that program will open
too.
You can see what files and programs are open from the System
screen by using the List open files command from the File
menu, or by tapping on the name in the top right corner of the
screen.
Programs & files
When you run a program, it will usually display the currently
open file, or the file that you last looked at. If you want to write
a new letter, draw a new picture, create a new database and so
on, youll need to create a new file for the particular program
involved.
• To create a new file: select the command on the File
menu. The file will now be created, and the current file will
be closed and saved at the same time. You can start
entering your information.
• You can also use this command in the System screen to
create a new file. Usually, this creates a file using the
standard settings; creating a file from within a program
creates a file which already has any settings or preferences
you have set up in the program.
• It is a good idea to keep related files together in a folder, to
make the files easier to find later. See Files, folders &
programs for details of how to manage your files and
folders.
See the Which program to use? section for more about using
the programs.
12Getting started
Getting started 13
Entering information
You can enter information and complete tasks using the pen or
the keyboard. You can usually select a menu command to
perform each task.
• Press the Menu key or tap on the
the available commands on the Menu bar.
• Tap on the menu names and commands, or use the arrow
keys to move around the menus. Tap on commands marked
with a 4 or press the right arrow key to see further
commands.
Note: You can press the shortcut key combinations shown next
to the commands as a quick way of selecting them, e.g. Ctrl+M,
means hold down the Ctrl key and press the M key at the same
time.
• A menu command with three dots at the end means that
selecting the command will display a dialog where you
enter more information.
• If a menu command is grey, it means that its not currently
available; e.g. you cannot Copy unless you have first
selected something to copy.
command icon to see
Using dialogs
A dialog appears when you need to make selections and enter
further information. You can move between dialog items by
tapping on them, or using the up and down arrow keys. Dialogs
contain one or more of the following elements:
Text box: where you just type in your information.
List box: where you select from a number of options. You will
see left and right arrows around the current selection; you can
change the selection by tapping on the arrows, by pressing the
left and right arrow keys, or by typing the first letter of the
option you want. You can usually tap in the box or press the Tab
key to see a list of the available options.
Check box: where you make a choice between selecting an
option or not selecting it. Just tap on the check box, or press the
left and right arrow keys to add or remove a tick.
Radio buttons: where you make one choice from a number of
options. Just tap on an option, or use the left and right arrow
keys to make a selection.
• If a dialog line is grey, it is currently not available, usually
because you have to select something else first. For
example, if you have not ticked the box to set an alarm for
an Agenda entry, the lines to set the alarm time and date
are grey. Some dialog lines only appear when another
option has been chosen.
Dialog page
Choice list
Some dialogs comprise a number of pages, each page has a
tab at the top. Tap on the tab or move the highlight to the tab
name, to go to that page. You can also move a dialog around the
screen by holding the pen on the dialog title bar and dragging it
across the screen.

How do I display a calendar?
In most dialogs in which you can type a date, move to the date line
then tap again or press Tab to display a calendar.
Todays date is circled, and the date currently displayed in the
dialog is highlighted. To select another date, move to the date you
want and press Enter. Use the buttons on the top line, or further
presses of the Tab key, to display a three month or twelve month
calendar. Use the dog ears to move between the pages of the
calendar.
You can also display a calendar from the Agenda program. See the
Agenda chapter for more details.
Dialog buttons
Dialogs may have on-screen buttons. Tap on the button or use
the keypress combination under it. Some buttons have a
standard keypress equivalent:
• Usually, you can tap the OK button or press the Enter key if
you want to save information and remove the dialog.
• Tap the Cancel button or press the Esc key if you want to
remove the dialog without saving the information.
• For dialogs that ask a question, you can tap the Ye s button
or press the Y key for yes; tap the No button, press the
N key or press the Esc key for no.
Copying information between programs
You can insert information created in one program into a
different program. This is known as inserting an object.
For example, you may want to add a picture to a letter you are
writing. To do this, write the letter as normal using the Word
program. Then, while in Word, select the menu command to
insert a sketch. This will start the Sketch program, where you
can create the picture. Close Sketch when you have finished and
the picture will be inserted in your letter.
Sometimes the object you insert can be displayed as an icon,
perhaps if you insert a large amount of Word text in an Agenda
entry. Alternatively, you may prefer to see the actual information
added, e.g. a map to view in the Word file.
For example, you may wish to:
• insert tables of figures and graphs from Sheet into a Word
file. You can add labels and titles to the graph in Sheet
before inserting it in the Word file.
• keep a map of how to find a restaurant as a sketch, perhaps
attached to an Agenda entry for the day that youre going
there.
• create a Sketch file of your signature, and insert the
signature when you write letters in the Word processor.
• keep handwritten notes and ideas in Sketch. You can then
insert them into Jotter or a Word file if necessary.
16Getting started
Displaying Help
You can display help at any time, and from any program. Help
information is contained on a series of help cards in one large
database that looks similar to the databases that you create in
the Data program. Help is not specific to the program that you
are using; wherever you are, you can just type a clue to search
for the information you need.
Note: The on-line help contains more detailed information than
is included in this manual.
• To display help: Hold down Fn and press , (comma); the
key has Help printed on it.
• To search for help about something: simply type your

Things to do first!
This section describes what you need to do to set up your Series
5. You should:
• set the current time and date, so that you can use the
Agenda programs and set alarms.
• set your Home city, so that the Series 5 can display the
correct time differences and dialling codes for other places
in the World.
It is also a good idea to:
• enter owner information, so that your Series 5 can be
returned if you lose it.
• set a password for your machine, so that other people
cannot access your information.
Setting the time, date & the Home city
1. In the System screen, tap on the Control panel button on
the Toolbar, or select the command from the Tools menu.
2. Tap the Time & date icon, or move the highlight to it using
the arrow keys and press Enter.
3. You will see a dialog in which you can set the time and
date, your home city and summer times around the world.
Tap the Time & date button. Move the highlight in the
Time and Date lines by tapping on the part you want to
change, or by using the arrow keys. Type the date or time,
press P for p.m. or A for a.m.
4. Tap on the OK button or press the Enter key, and the time
and date are saved.
5. Tap the Home button.
6. Select your Home city and country. To do this:
• Start typing in the name of your home city, or tap on the
arrow symbols or press the left and right arrow keys until
you find the city you want.
• If your home city is not listed, select a city that is nearby for
now (adding a city is described in the Time chapter).
7. Tap on the OK button or press the Enter key, and your
home city is saved. Tap Close or press Enter to remove the
dialog and return to the Control panel. Press Esc to return
to the System screen.
Note: The Series 5 can use a 12 hour clock (midnight is 12:00:00
a.m.) or a 24 hour clock. Refer to the Time chapter for details
of how to change these settings, and how to adjust the clock for
summer time.
