Using this manualUsing this manual

This manual gives an overview of all the netBook functions and features to give you an idea of what you can do; for more detailed information than is given here, refer to the netBook and PsiWin on-line help.

• Read the first part of this chapter to find out how to get the

netBook 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 netBook - 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 netBook - instructions for using PsiWin to connect to your PC and perform backups and more ideas for customising your netBook.

• Read the ‘Files, folders and programs’ chapter for more

information about how to enter and manage the information on your netBook.

• Refer to the ‘Troubleshooting’ chapter if you have any

problems using the netBook.

Before you can use the netBook you must fit both batteries, as shown below.

The netBook is powered by:

• a powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack.

• a Lithium CR2032 backup battery (supplied). This preserves

your information should you need to change the main battery.

Take care when replacing batteries!

You will lose information if you remove both batteries at the same time, or allow both batteries to become completely run down. The netBook will warn you when its batteries are getting low, in plenty of time to change/charge them. See the ‘Care & safety ’ chapter for more about battery safety, and details of how to change the batteries.

You can also power the netBook from the mains. You should ONLY use Psion approved mains adaptors. Contact your Psion distributor or local Psion retailer for more information.

Can I switch on the netBook by tapping the screen?

Yes. You can set up your netBook 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.

Tap lightly on the screen using the pen. It’s 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. Don’t 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, cutting and pasting, Infrared, zooming in and out.

Note: If the screen doesn’t 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.

When you first switch on the netBook, 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 netBook works.

• All the information you enter into the netBook 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

netBook, the contents of the ‘Documents’ folder is displayed.

• The System screen’s “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.

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, you’ll 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.

Using dialogsUsing 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.

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.

Copying information between programsCopying 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, tap the Insert sketch button on the Toolbar or select the command from the Insert menu. 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 you’re 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.

To prevent anyone looking at the files on the Internal disk of the netBook, set a system password which you must type in before you can use the machine.

To do this:

1. Select the Password icon from the Control panel in the System screen.

2. Tick the ‘Ask for password’ box so that your netBook requests the password when you switch the machine on.

3. Type the password twice for confirmation. Choose a password that you won’t easily forget, but one that won’t be easy for someone else to guess. DON’T FORGET your password! You will need to enter the password again if you want to change the password settings on your netBook.

The password is now set. The next time you switch your machine on, you will have to type in the password to access your files.

If you want to switch the password off temporarily, remove the tick from the ‘Ask for password’ box.

Note: The system password does not protect files stored on Memory disks or files copied to other machines.

Important: don’t forget your password!

If you have forgotten the system password then you will have to reset the machine. All the files stored on the internal disk will then be lost.

Creating new folders

Creating new foldersCreating new folders

You can keep a maximum of 64 items (each file or folder counts as one item) in the “root” (top level) of the netBook’s internal disk. It’s best to create a number of folders in which to store all your files to prevent the top level of the System screen from becoming too full.

You might want to create some folders for work projects and others for home use. For example, you may create a folder called “House” for files relating to work on your house, and create another folder within the “House” folder called “Letters” for Word files of correspondence. Using folders in this way will also make your files easier to find.

To create a new folder:

1. Move to the folder in which you wish to create the new

folder.

2. Select the New folder command from the Toolbar or File menu, and type in the folder name.

You cannot use the following characters in a folder name:

<>:/\*?

If you use netBook files with a PC, you may wish to create folders that match equivalent folders on your PC. This will make transferring files between the netBook and PC easier.

24Files & folders

Creating new filesCreating new files

Creating new files

Creating new filesCreating new files

You can create files from the System screen, or from within programs. As a general rule:

• Create a file from the System screen to start with the

standard netBook settings.

• Create a file from within a program to use the settings that

are in use in the file currently open, e.g. labels in a Data file.

To create a file from the System screen:

1. Move to the folder where you wish to keep the file.

2. Select the Create new command from the File menu, then

select File.

3. Select the program you wish to use, e.g. Word for a Word document.

4. A filename is suggested. If you do not wish to use this, type a name of your own before pressing the OK button.

Note: If you have an existing file already open within the program, and wish to leave it open so that you can refer to both files, hold down the Fn key while pressing the OK button.

25Files & folders

What names can I use for my files & folders?

You can use most characters in file and folder names including spaces, so it is fine to have folders called, for example, “1997 Purchase Orders and Invoices”. The only characters which cannot be used in a file or folder name are/<>:\*and?.

The maximum length of a filename is 256 characters, although note that this includes the disk drive letter, and the names of the folders within which the file is contained (known as the “path”). The maximum length of a folder name, including the path, is 252 characters.

This will not generally be a problem, although it means that you may encounter difficulties if you use very long filenames for files which you store in folders which have long names, nested within other folders with long names, and so on. If you do exceed the maximum allowed length, rename a folder or file to a shorter name.

Important:

Note that files are not stored with a filename extension so that an Agenda file, e.g. called ‘1997’, will have the same filename as a Sheet file called ‘1997’. You cannot store two files with the same name in the same folder, even if the files are created using different programs. If you save a file with the same filename as a file already existing in that folder, the original file will be deleted and replaced with the new file.

You can prevent other people from opening your Word and Sheet files by setting a password for each file. For example, you may have a Sheet spreadsheet containing your personal finance details. To set a password on a file:

1. Open the file and select the password command from the

File menu.

2. Type your password twice for confirmation. Choose a

password that you won’t easily forget, but one that won’t be easy for other people to guess.

3. Press the OK button, and the file is saved immediately with the password.

When you want to open the file, you will be asked to type in the password.

Important: don’t forget your password!

If you have forgotten the password for a file then you will not be able to open it.

The password on an individual file will protect it if you transfer it to a Memory disk or another machine. If you copy the file, the copy will be protected by the same password. The password also prevents the file being converted to another format and read on a PC.

You can prevent a file from being accidentally changed by making ita“read-only” file. To do this, highlight the file in the System screen and select Properties from the File menu. Then tick the

Read-only box.

Files that have been created on a PC and then transferred to the netBook may also be “read-only” files.

To check whether a file is a “read-only ” file, highlight it in the System screen and select Properties from the File menu.

Note: If you transfer a “read-only” file to another machine, it can be viewed, and the “read-only” attribute can be removed.

Managing foldersManaging folders

To move one or more folders or files from one location to another:

1. First highlight the file(s) or folder(s) to select them. To

highlight a consecutive list of files or folders, highlight the first one, hold down the Shift key, and then highlight the last one. To select items that are not consecutive, hold down the Ctrl key and tap each file/folder in turn.

To select all the files/folders in the current folder, use the

Select all command on the Edit menu. To deselect items,

press the Esc key.

2. Select the Cut (move) command from the Edit menu. A dotted line appears round the file/folder icon(s).

3. Go to the disk drive and open the folder into which the highlighted items are to be moved.

4. Select the Paste command from the Edit menu.

Note: Moving a folder also moves all the files within that folder.

Note: If you move (or rename) your most recently opened Agenda or Data file, you should open it again by selecting it from the System screen, rather than tapping the Agenda or Data program icon. Tapping on the program icon will create a new Agenda or Data file.

different folder: follow the earlier instructions, but select the Copy as opposed to the Cut (move) command from the Edit menu.

• To make a copy of a file or folder within the same

Copy command followed by the Paste command. A new

file is automatically created for you using the following naming convention (with Word as the example): Word(01), Word(02), etc. You can rename the file or folder later if you wish.

• To copy the entire contents of a disk to a folder on

another disk: e.g. to back up the entire contents of your

Internal disk (‘C’) to a backup folder on a Memory disk (‘D’), select Copy disk from the Disk menu.

• To rename a single file or folder: highlight it, select

Rename from the File menu, and then type in a new name.

• To rename a disk: select Name disk from the Disk menu.

• To remove one or more files or folders: first highlight

Certain types of files use more memory than others.

Sound files can become very large, so you should take care to delete unwanted Record and Voice note files so that they do not use up space on the Internal disk.

When recording a sound, the netBook will allow you to continue recording until the ‘Time available’ runs out. Even if the Time available is zero, the Record program will always leave approximately 100 kilobytes of free memory.

If you find that the amount of free memory is suddenly reduced, it is a good idea to check the size of any Record files.

Agenda files can also become very large. You should tidy your Agenda periodically in order to remove entries; see the ‘Agenda’ chapter for more details.

31Files & folders

What will happen when the memory is full?

When the memory is nearly full, you will see warning dialogs when running programs to indicate that the netBook’s memory is almost full, and there is not enough memory to perform some tasks.

Many of the things you do need just a little free memory in order to work - displaying dialogs, menus, etc. These can fail with a message like ‘Memory full’. Don’t worry though, the netBook will not allow you to use all of the available memory; it will always set aside enough memory for you to close a program or save an open file to a Memory disk.

Files saved on the Internal disk and “open” programs both use memory. So, if the memory is nearly full you should be able to free some memory by closing some programs. You can use the List

open files command from the File menu in the System screen to

check which programs are running, and then close the programs or files that you do not need to have open.

You can also delete any unwanted files from the System screen, or move files to a Memory disk or your PC to free more memory.

Additional disks & programsAdditional disks & programs

Additional disks & programs

Additional disks & programsAdditional disks & programs

You can insert Memory disks into the tray on the left hand side of the netBook. You might use them as additional memory for storing files, or to add more programs to the netBook.

• If a Memory disk contains additional programs: their

icons will automatically appear in the Extras bar when you insert the disk. They will be removed from the Extras bar when you take out the disk.

• To delete all the files on a Memory disk: put it in the

slot, and then select the Format disk command from the

Disk menu; select ‘D’ as the ‘Disk’ in the Format disk

dialog. Do not format the ‘C’ disk - this will remove all the files you have stored on the netBook’s Internal disk, and remove all the preferences and settings that you have set up.

There are four additional Apps icons at the edge of the screen. Any programs appearing in the Extras bar can be allocated one of these icons so that they can be launched with one tap of the pen. To do this, tap the Extras icon on the Toolbar then tap the word ‘Extras’ on the title bar and select the appropriate program for each of the User Application entries. This may be particularly useful if you have loaded a new program which you will often use.

If you wish to run a translated OPL program, locate the file in the System screen, highlight the filename and tap it or press Enter to run it.

Can I run Series 3/3a/3c/3mx/5/5mx programs on a netBook?

There are no major differences between OPL for Series 3/5 machines and OPL for the netBook. If you have written programs in OPL on a Series 3/5, you should be able to translate them so that you can run them on a netBook. Series 3/3a/3c/3mx

applications (which are not written as OPL programs) will not run on a netBook, however, applications written for Series5/5mx

should work but may not scale to cover the full screen size.

File templatesFile templates

A template is a document design that you can use as a starting point for new documents. The template can include text, paragraph styles and page layout information. When you create a new document using a template, Word copies the information in the template into the new file which you can then change as you require. For example, you can use the standard Fax template to create a fax - the template includes the coversheet text and you can add the fax details and number.

You can select from a number of standard templates. When you open a document using a particular template, you then work on a document based on the template; you don’t change the template itself.

If you can’t find a suitable built-in template, you can create your own file template. To do this:

1. Create the Word file with the text, styles, page layout, headers, footers, and so on that you want to include in the template. Note that other settings such as the cursor position and printer setup are also stored.

If you want to change an existing template, open a new document using the template and make the changes to this Word file.

2. Select Save as template from the More commands on the

File menu.

3. Enter a name for the template. If you are making changes to

an existing template, type the original template’s name. Word displays templates with (C) or (D) added to the name, according to the disk you use to store the file.

You cannot change the standard built-in templates in Word, although you can use them as a starting point for your own customised templates.

Entering information

Entering informationEntering information

To enter information in a cell, select it and start typing. You will see the information you are entering on the input line. The first character you type tells Sheet what kind of information the cell will contain:

• To enter numbers: begin with a number or with one of

these characters:.-+and(.

• To enter text: simply type it in. If your text starts with a

number, type a ’ first, e.g. ’24 Longton Road. If you want the text itself to containa’atthebeginning, type two of them, e.g. ’’97 sales figures.

• To enter a formula for a calculation: begin with a =. For

example, to make a given cell display the sum of the contents of cells B1 and B2, type in =B1+B2.

• To edit the information in a cell: simply highlight the cell

and press Enter.You can then edit the contents on the input line.

• To enter a date: type the day, month and year on the input

line, separating them with a space or the date separator character as set in the System screen, e.g. 1 Oct 69 or 1 10 69, or 10 1 69 if you use this date format.

• To enter a time: type the hour, minutes and seconds,

separating them with a colon (or the time separator character as set in the System screen).

You can also change the width of columns and the height of rows, to suit the information contained in them. To do this:

• Drag the right-hand edge of the column heading to adjust its

width, and the lower edge of the row heading to adjust its height.

• Use the commands on the Format menu to set the height

of a row in points and the width of a column in characters.

Note: If you enter more text than can be displayed in the current cell, the information will run over into the next column if that column is empty, so you may want to adjust the column width. If you enter a number that’s too long for the cell, you will see a series of # signs in the cell, though the actual number will still be stored.

• To freeze panes on the worksheet: type the information

you wish to “freeze” in the rows and columns, position the pointer in the cell below the row to freeze, and to the right of the column to freeze (this will often be B2). Tap the button, or select the command from the View menu. The “frozen” panes will stay on screen when scrolling through the rest of the worksheet.

• To protect the worksheet from changes: select the

Protection command from the Tools menu.

• To allow changes to some cells only: highlight the area

for which you wish to allow changes, select the Protection command on the Tools menu and remove the tick to “unlock” the highlighted cells. If you then protect the worksheet, changes are only allowed to the cells that are not locked.

erforming calculationserforming calculations

There are two ways to perform calculations:

• Type the calculation into a single cell. When you press Enter

or move to another cell, the result will be displayed on the worksheet.

• Use a formula for a calculation; just type the different parts

of your calculation in separate cells and note their references, e.g. income in B2 and tax in C2. In a new cell, enter the formula, beginning with a =. Use the cell references for the components of the calculation rather than the numbers themselves. For example, =C2-(B2*C2). The value displayed in this cell is calculated for whatever values you use in the component cells.

Note: If you have a row or column of cells and want to know their sum, position the pointer in the cell at the end of the row or column and tap the for the sum of the preceding group of cells and calculate the result.

button. Sheet will insert the formula

There are two types of cell reference you can use in a formula:

• Relative references, such as A2. These get updated when

copied and moved elsewhere. For example, a reference to cell A2 in a formula in cell B3 will change to B2 if the formula is copied to cell C3.

• Absolute references, such as $A$2. These contain a $ sign in

front of the parts of the reference that you don’t want to change even if the formula is moved elsewhere. So, $A$2 in cell B3 remains $A$2 when copied to cell C3.

• You can combine the two types of reference: A$5 in A6 will

become B$5 when copied to B8.

A formula which contains a reference to its own cell, either directly or indirectly, is called a “circular reference”. You can find any circular references in the worksheet using the Find commands on the Edit menu. You should avoid making circular references as they produce unpredictable results.

Using rangesUsing ranges

A range is a rectangular block of cells. The reference for a range consists of the cell references of the top left and bottom right corners of the block, separated by a colon, e.g. B2:C6. You can use ranges to define areas of the worksheet for applying formatting, creating graphs, or include range references in formulae, e.g. =SUM(B2:C6).

• To select a range: highlight all the cells you want to be a

part of your range.

Will alarms still ring if I close Agenda?

If you close an Agenda file, the Agenda informs the netBook clock to ring the next Agenda alarm at the appropriate time. However, the netBook will not be able to ring any further Agenda alarms from that file until you open it again.

If you use alarms a lot in your Agenda, it is therefore a good idea to leave the Agenda file open when you are not using it, even when the netBook is switched off.

Alarm warningAlarm warning

Alarm warning

Alarm warningAlarm warning

If you do need to close the Agenda file, do not set an alarm and then immediately close the file or switch off. This is because the Agenda program needs a certain amount of time to calculate when the next alarm should ring, and if you switch off before the calculation is complete, the netBook clock will not have been informed to sound the alarm.

• View locally stored web pages and graphics files.

• Download files e.g. additional programs for your netBook.

How can I use Email on my netBook?

How can I use Email on my netBook?How can I use Email on my netBook?

You can use your netBook to send and receive email messages using either one, or both, of the following methods:

1. Connecting by telephone line to a ‘Remote’ mailbox.

This is when you make a ‘live’ connection to your email mailbox via a telephone line (without needing a PC). For example, you could access your personal mailbox by dialling your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or access your work mailbox by dialling your company’s service provider or office mailbox.

What to do next…

If you want to access your work mailbox, you will first need to contact your network administrator to find out whether you can make a ‘remote’ (dial-up) connection to your mailbox.

See ‘What type of Email accounts can I use?’ to continue.

2. Connecting to a PC which can access your mailbox.

This is when you connect directly to a PC which can access your mailbox. Using PsiWin’s ‘Email Synchronization’, you can write emails off-line on your netBook, and then connect to your PC to send and receive messages.

How do I do this?

To access your mailbox via a PC, you will first need to install PsiWin on the PC and set up ‘Email Synchronization’. This guide does

not include information on Email Synchronization. If you wish to use Email Synchronization see the PsiWin CD ROM.

What type of email accounts can I use?What type of email accounts can I use?

There are a number of different types of email account. See the list below to find out which types of account you can connect to using the Email program on your netBook:

• A personal ‘dial-up’ account. This could be a dial-up

email account which you’ve signed-up for with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), e.g. Freeserve or Pipex Dial.

Which ISPs can I use?

You can use most ISPs which use ‘Internet standard’ methods for connecting to your email account. However, some ISPs (such as America Online) use proprietary methods for connecting, and cannot be accessed by your netBook (i.e. you must use a PC).

Move on to ‘Setting up your netBook’ to continue.

• A‘remote’ (e.g. office) email account. This could be an

email account at your workplace, e.g. using Lotus cc:Mail or Microsoft Mail.

How do I find out if I can use my account?

You will need to find out from your network administrator whether you can access your email mailbox using this type of account.

If you can, move on to ‘Setting up your netBook’ to continue.

• AWeb based email account. This is an email account

which you must connect to using a Web browser, e.g. HotMail or Yahoo! Mail.

You can’t connect to this type of account using the Email program.

To use Web based email, you must first set up your netBook for Internet access. To do this, follow all the stages in the ‘Setting up your netBook’ section, except ‘Setting up the Email program’. You will need to use the Web program to access your email provider’s Web site.

If you don’t have an Internet/email accountIf you don’t have an Internet/email account

If you don’t have an Internet/email account

If you don’t have an Internet/email accountIf you don’t have an Internet/email account

You will require an email account before you can access the internet and send and receive email messages on your netBook.

• To get a personal email account, you must ‘sign-up’ with an

Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISPs usually provide an email account as part of an Internet access package.

• Most ISPs will provide software (e.g. a CD ROM) which will

help you set up Internet access and the email account on a PC.

Important: Some ISPs require that you connect to them

using a PC in order to sign-up. If you can’t do this, contact the ISP to find out if you can sign-up without using a PC. If you have Internet access, see “www.mobile.psion.com” for more details.
