Answers

to

Commonly

Asked

Questions

Q:

A:

Q:

A:

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

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:

l

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.).

-

Press

[m)

and then touch

-

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

l

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

IPERIPHERALS]

, select IMPORT

OTHER FORMAT, then select VIA PC LINK.

-

Now use the link software on the PC to send the Information to the

8900 Series.

.-

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

Note:

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.

Q:

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?

A:

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:

25

1.

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

ali

Schedule entries for an entire month using the Calendar menu.

3.

Check for completed To Do items. You can delete all completed To Do

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.

Q:

I want to print out my unit information. What do

/

need?

A:

Here are the things you will need:

1.

The SHARP

CE-IRI

wireless interface for printers.

2.

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

Canon

BJ-1 Oe series

IBM

ProPrinter

series

Epson

FX series, LQ series

Hewlett-Packard

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.

Cl:

How can

I

back up my data?

A:

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

are some ways of doing this:

l

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

p.

222.

l

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.

l

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.

Q:

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

happens. What should

1

do?

A:

Check the following before sending the unit in for service:

26

l

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.

l

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.

l

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.

l

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.

Q:

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

function shuts off the unit before I store the entry?

A:

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.

Q:

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.

Q:

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?

A:

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.

27

Q

:

What is the Outline application

?

Why would I want to use it instead of

Notebook?

A:

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.

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.

Q:

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

besides the unit itself?

A:

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.)
