Answers to

My batteries only lasted for two months. Is there something wrong?

Commonly Asked Questions

Will I lose data in memory when I change the batteries?

There is probably nothing wrong with your unit. Battery life will vary from user to user. A number of factors will affect battery life, including how much

the unit is used. The battery life is rated at 70 hours of continuous use.

Assuming an average of one hour per day of continuous use, you would get about 2 months of battery life. Two months indicates heavier usage.

When you change the main operating batteries, the back-up battery will protect data in memory. Be sure to follow the directions carefully when changing the batteries.

An optional battery case is available, which will extend the life of your operating batteries.

I have a SHARP 8000* Series Organizer. How can I transfer my data

from it to this new unit?

The data format on your new unit is different to that on the 8000 Series

Organizer. You can get data from the 8000 Series (or 7000 Series) one application at a time using one of the following methods:

If you have your 8000 Series data on a RAM card, do the following:

Insert the RAM card into the 8900 Series.*

Turn on the 8900 Series.

Go to an application (Tel, Schedule, etc.).

Repeat the last two steps for each application you wish to import.

If you own one of the Sharp Organizer Link software packages for an 8000 Series Organizer (either for the IBM and compatibles or the Macintosh) do the following:

Hook up the cable to the 8900 Series.

Turn on the 8900 Series.

Press (MENU) and then touch

Now use the link software on the PC to send the Information to the 8900 Series.

Data can only be transferred from an 8000 or 7000 Series Organizer to the

8900/9000

Series unit, and not vice versa.

The procedures above will not

replace

the existing data on the

Organizer but add to it.

Warning: If you have used free fields in Telephone on your 8000 Series

Organizer, you must set the number of fields in Telephone on the 8900 Series to be the same (8) BEFORE transferring the information to the 8900 Series. Otherwise the data in the free fields will not be transferred onto the 8900 Seires.

back and import the 8000 Series data. See p. 134,276 and 277.

I have an older model of the SHARP Organizer and imported the data into this unit. But when I went to the Tel application in my new unit, ail of my entries looked strange.

Some words were split in two and some lines ended too early. The entries don’t look like this in the other Organizer. What can I do?

In certain applications, such as Tel, the number of characters allowed per line is different from that of other Organizer models. This means that the new line characters you entered in the older Organizer will not produce the same formatting in this unit. You will need to edit the relevant entries and reformat them by deleting old new line characters and entering new ones.

Q:I saw the message “There is not enough memory...” after trying to store

an entry. What does this mean?

A: You have filled your unit with information. Here are some things you should

try in order to free up some memory:

Check your Scrapbook. These drawings take up more memory than regular entries. Be sure to delete any notes or drawings that you no longer need.

2. Check for old Schedule items. Delete those you no longer need. You can delete Check for completed To Do items. You can delete all completed To Do

ali

Schedule entries for an entire month using the Calendar menu.

items using the Jo Do menu.

If you wish, you can purchase a memory expansion RAM card. You can use

these cards like floppy disks, keeping several to store your data by subject,

for example.

I want to print out my unit information. What do / need?

Here are the things you will need:

The SHARP

Any parallel PC printer that emulates one of the following printers:

Canon

IBM Epson Hewlett-Packard

CE-IRI

wireless interface for printers.

BJ-1 Oe series

ProPrinter

series FX series, LQ series LaserJet series

Most printers, including portable ink-jet printers on the market today, emulate at least one of these printers. Check with your local computer dealer for more information about printers.

How can I back up my data?

Cl:

It is important to always have a back-up of your important information. Here

are some ways of doing this:

You can print out a hard copy using the optional accessories. See p. 222.

You can back up your entire unit using the IQ-783 256KB RAM card

(for the IQ-8900) or IQ-784 512 KB RAM card (for the IQ-8900 and the IQ-8920). (if needed, you can just as easily restore your information

back to the unit.) See p. 238.

You can use PC or Macintosh link software either from SHARP or a

third party. You will also need one of the various PC-Link cables or the

CE-IR2 wireless interface for computers. Check with your local dealer regarding features and availability of these products.

I can’t seem to turn my unit on. I changed the batteries but still nothing

happens. What should 1 do?

Check the following before sending the unit in for service:

Check to see that the CARD LOCK switch is LOCKED and not in the RELEASE position. You may have accidentally left it unlocked after removing an IC card.

Check that the battery replacement switch on the back of the unit is in

the “NORMAL

OPERATION”

position. If the switch is in the “REPLACE

BATTERIES” position, the unit cannot be turned on.

Check or replace the operating batteries, even if you have just replaced

the batteries. It is possible that the batteries were not fresh when you

purchased them.

Press the RESET switch. If the unit has been dropped, for example, it may have to be reset.

This

will not delete your data. If for any reason data is missing after resetting the unit, it was lost before you pressed the RESET switch. The RESET switch simply re-starts the unit.

If none of the procedures above works, you will need to send the unit to a service center. Check the back page of this operation manual for the location of your nearest service center and call for more information.

What happens if I am working on an entry and the auto power off

function shuts off the unit before I store the entry?

You will not lose any information. The next time you turn the unit on, the

Resume feature returns you to exactly where you left off.

I would like to use the Filer feature but I am afraid of using up memory.

How does the Filer work? Does it make a copy of each entry?

A: No. When you assign an entry to a folder in the Filer, it does not use up any

extra memory. The unit doesn’t actually make a copy of the entry, it simply

“assigns” the entry to a folder. Entries are still stored in each individual

application (Tel, Notebook, etc.). The Filer is a great way to organize your

information and there is no reason not to use it.

I have an older model 8000 Series 256K Organizer that was about 99%

full. When I loaded all of the data into my new unit

(/Q-8920)

and checked the memory, it read about 65% full. I expected it to read about 50% full. What happened?

This unit uses memory differently to other SHARP Organizers, providing many more features, formatting capabilities, etc., which require more memory. Importing data from another type of unit will require more memory on this unit. This amount will vary depending on the number and type of records you import.

What is the Outline application

Q :

Notebook?

The Outline application allows you to group and categorize information using

a hierarchical structure. Everyone has a lot of small but important pieces of information that have to be memorized or kept track of in a written record, for example, important personal information: Social Security number, credit card numbers, various ID numbers, account numbers, clothing sizes, etc. Using

the unit, you could make a number of Notebook entries for each piece of

information, but a better way to manage the information would be to make a

single Outline file called “Personal Information.” This file could then contain

a number of headings (such as Car info., Travel info., Health info., Financial info., etc.), under which relevant pieces of information could be stored. This makes it easier to access information and prevents your unit from becoming cluttered with hundreds of individual entries.

Additional Outline files could also be made, including: favorite movie list,

project management file, To Do lists, price lists, product line-up and specification file, business plans, product proposals, and meeting notes. Many types of information can be more easily and efficiently managed in an Outline structure.

Why would I want to use it instead of

Another use of the Outline application is document preparation. Many times you might want to write a memo, letter, proposal, marketing plan, etc., but find it difficult to write an entire document from scratch. The Outline

application allows you to capture your thoughts and ideas, then rearrange and categorize them at any time. You can also copy an Outline file and paste it into the Notebook application to finish the document there, adding

text to the major topics.

I want to send faxes from my IQ-8900 series unit, but what do I need

besides the unit itself?

The IQ-8900 series unit has fax software built in, but you will also need the

PC fax/modem and the CE-137T level converter.

Not all PC fax/modems can be used with the IQ-8900 series unit. Contact your nearest SHARP dealer for information about compatibility and availability of the PC fax/modems. (If the CE-FM1 Fax/Modem is not available for use in your country because of the specifications of the telephone lines, ignore references to it in this manual.)

aring

The unit contains sophisticated circuitry and a glass display panel which can be damaged if not cared for

properly. A few precautions should be taken regarding the unit’s care so that it will give you many years of reliable use.

for the unit

Keep the unit away from extreme heat. Do not leave it on the

dashboard of a car or near a heater.

Do not leave it in any place that is

extremely damp or dusty. Do not drop the unit or subject it to

severe impact or extreme force. Bending the unit beyond its capacity can damage the circuitry.

Do not use extreme force when

pressing buttons on the display or the keys. Do not use any sharp, pointed object or your fingernails to press them. It is recommended that you use only the included touch pen

to write or to touch the buttons on the unit’s display screen.

Sharp or hard objects can scratch

the unit. Be careful that it is protected when carried with other objects. Do not store it loose in a bag or

briefcase.

Clean the unit only with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents.

Do not carry the unit around in your back pocket, as it may break when

YOU

sit down. The display is made of

glass and is particularly vulnerable.

lls

Replace the batteries as soon as they become weak (see p. 301). Failing to replace weak batteries may result in leakage or lost data.

This chapter explains everything you need

to know to set up and begin working with your unit, from installing the batteries to

initialization. The chapter also includes a

Getting to Know Your Unit

A major advantage of this unit is its graphical user interface, which displays commands and can carry out

functions through a combination of graphical images and text. The graphical user interface is not only easy to use,

panel

The unit’s display not only shows information, it is also a “touch panel” which can respond to the touch of a finger

or the touch pen to call up functions and execute commands. The icons on the display are “touch buttons”

which allow

you to access various

operations simply by

touching the desired button.

Many operations which are carried out using the touch buttons can also be carried out using keys on the

Operations on the unit are performed using “applications.”

Menu operation

The unit’s applications-they perform an operation and accomplish a task based on your directions. To open an application, select it by pressing the appropriate key on the left of the display.

When working in one application, you can switch to another application simply by pressing that application key. Data being processed in the first application will, in most cases, be preserved and the operation can be completed when the application is selected again. In cases when an operation or procedure cannot be completed, a warning message will indicate this and give you the option of remaining in the application.

Another powerful aspect of the unit’s graphical user

interface is its system of menus, which can be used to

quickly execute commands and perform operations. With

Fields

This section explains all the general editing techniques

used in the Edit mode when making a new entry or editing an existing entry in all of the applications. (The

Notebook

working with text; see p. 140 for more information.) Most applications divide the display into field boxes. The

number of fields in each application varies, as do the types of fields. The different field types include text fields, a date field, time field, and picture field. There are

also a few other special types of text fields. You can define the number, type, and names of fields in the and

number of lines entered.

Only a date can be entered in a date field, usually in the

format of

MM/DDNYYY.

For example, you would type

06231994 to enter June 23, 1994. Only the time of day can be entered in the time field, in

the format of HH:MM followed by (AM) or (PM]. For

example, to enter 9:00 AM, you would type 0900 then press (AM].

You can insert a picture from the

Scrapbook

into a picture field. You cannot enter anything directly into a picture field; a picture must be pasted from the

Scrapbook.

A picture can also be deleted from the field.

See p. 130 for more information about using picture fields. The cursor is used to work with text, indicating the

position where text will be entered or deleted. The cursor

is also used to indicate selection items in menus or lists.

In text fields, where there is no restriction on the type of text (letters or numbers) or number of characters (lines) that can be entered, the cursor appears as 4 in insertion

mode, or as I in overwrite mode (see p. 70).

In the date and time fields, the cursor appears as

Checking the Unit’s Memory

The unit has a certain memory capacity in which operations are carried out and data that has been entered, such as phone numbers and memos, is stored. When the amount of data already stored approaches the

unit’s maximum memory capacity, you may not be able to

store an entry or the data being processed may be lost when you change applications. To avoid these problems, you should check the remaining memory space regularly

and free up space when necessary by deleting previous entries. The

Check Memory

function makes it possible to easily

check the amount of free memory available in the unit, as well as in a RAM card (if one is installed), avoiding the

inconvenience of seeing an out-of-memory message.
