*Do not drop the Organizer or subject ittosevere impact orextreme force. Bending the Organizer unduly can damage it.

*Do not use extreme force when pressing the keys. Do not use any sharp, pointed object or even your fingernails to press them.

*Sharp or hard object can scratch and damage the Organizer. Make sure it is adequately protected when carried with other objects. Do not carry it loose in a bag or briefcase: find a pocket or secure compartment within your bag.

*CleantheOrganizer onlywith asoft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents.

*Do not carry the Organizer around in your back pocket, as it may break when you sit down. The display is made of glass and is very delicate.

Chapter 2

General Operation

This chapter introduces most of the Organizer’s basic operations. The Tel application will be used for the examples. However, most of the techniques described here can be applied to all of the Organizer’s applications.

Opening an Application

To start an application, simply press the corresponding key, located on the top of the 2 keyboard. Each time you press [CALENDAR], [SCHEDULE], [TO DO], [ANN], [CLOCK], [TEL], [USER FILE], [MEMO], [EXPENSE], [DAILY] or [CALC/ CONV], the selected application will appear. Any application already being displayed will

be hidden whenever a new application is selected. You can always return to another application at the exact point where you left off simply by

17

pressing its key again. However, only one

application at a time can ever be displayed.

Selecting the Display Modes

Once an application is open, you can switch between three basic display modes: Index, View and Edit. Each display mode has its own unique appearance and particular purpose. Index mode is normally the default view when an application is opened, and provides a summary of the individual entries that have been created. Pressing [ENTER] after selecting a particular entry causes the entry to be displayed in View mode, which shows the full details of the entry. During View mode, the word VIEW appears at the top of the screen, and no entry details may be altered.

Pressing [EDIT], either when an entry is displayed in View mode or is selected in Index Mode, causes the entry to be displayed in Edit

mode. The entry’s details can then be altered as desired. During Edit mode, the word EDIT appears at the top of the screen. Edit mode is also used when an entry is being created (by pressing [NEW]).

*The Calc (except Conversion function) and Clock applications do not have Index, View or Edit modes.

Index mode

Index mode shows you a one line view of each entry within the application. This allows you to easily find a particular entry, which you can then display in full (View mode) by pressing [ENTER].

*Press [2nd] [ENTER] to store an edited entry as new, leaving the original unchanged.

Editing an Existing Entry

To edit an entry already stored in memory, you must first access the entry in Edit mode (in 2 which it was originally created).

1. Press [TEL] to open the application.

2. Select the desired entry in Index mode.

3.Press [EDIT] to open the entry in Edit mode.

4.Make any necessary changes.

5.Press [ENTER] to store the changes when you are finished.

The new, edited entry is now stored, replacing the original entry.

Editing Techniques

This section explains all the general editing techniques used in Edit mode when making a new entry or editing an existing entry in all of the applications. (The Memo application has many additional features for working with text; see p.47 for more information.)

21

Fields

Most applications divide the display into field boxes. The number of fields in each application varies, as do the types of fields. The different types of field include text fields, a date field, time fields and pop-up fields. There are also a few special types of text fields. In the User Files application, you can define the number and names of fields according to your preferences (see p.43).

You can type any character into a text field. The size of a text field is limited only by the size of the entry. Text fields adjust their size automatically to accommodate the number of lines entered.

Only a date can be entered in a date field, usually in the format MM/DD/YYYY. For example, you would type 06231998 to enter JUNE 23, 1998.

Only a time of day can be entered in the time field, in the format of HH:MM followed by [AM] or [PM] (for AM and PM). For example, to enter 9:00 AM, you would type 0900 then press [AM].

When the pop-up symbol appears by a field while editing an entry, this indicates that a pop-up menu is available for the field. The pop-up menu contains a list of values available for the field, and is used by pressing [ ] and selecting the desired value from the pop-up list. Note that the pop-up symbol only appears next to a field in Edit mode, when the field is selected. When you move out of a pop-up field, the pop-up symbol disappears.

The cursor

The cursor is used to work with text, indicating the position where text will be entered or deleted. It is also used to select items from menus or lists.

In text fields, where there is no restriction on the type of text (letters or numbers) that can be entered, the cursor appears as [ ] in insertion mode, or as in overwrite mode (see p.23).

In the date and time fields, the cursor appears as , indicating that numbers only should be entered in a specified format (see above).

*In text fields or boxes when there is no character at the cursor position, the cursor appears as _.

22

Typing in text

Typing in text is simple and straightforward. The Organizer’s keyboard layout is just like the keyboard on a typewriter or computer.

Letters (lower-case and upper-case)

Any of the standard letters (A to Z) can be entered by pressing the corresponding key. All letters will normally appear in lower case. Hold down either of the [ ] keys while pressing letter key(s) to enter upper-case letters. [2nd] [ ] functions like a “Caps lock” key on a typewriter or computer. Once pressed, the symbol CAPS will appear in the display. Any letters typed while the Organizer is in CAPS mode will appear in upper case. To switch back to lowercase mode, simply press [2nd] [ ] again. To enter lower-case letters while in CAPS mode, hold down [ ] while pressing a letter key.

Numbers

Numbers are entered using the numeric keypad located to the right of the display. The numbers are entered regardless of whether CAPS mode is on or off.

Symbols

The symbols that appear in white above certain keys can be entered directly from the keyboard. Holding down [ ] while pressing the appropriate key will allow you to enter these symbols. 2 Colons can be entered by holding down [ ] and pressing the [ • ] key. In addition, a large number of special symbols are available by pressing [SMBL] (see p.71)

Moving around the display

You can move the cursor around the display with the cursor keys [ ] , [ ] , [ ] and [ ]. In addition, you can hold any cursor key down for continuous rapid movement.

The following convenient keyboard shortcuts are also available in Edit mode:

[2nd] [

] Moves the cursor to the end of the

 

line.

[2nd] [

] Moves the cursor to the beginning

 

of the line.

[2nd] [

] Moves the cursor to the first line

 

of a field.

23

[2nd] [

] Moves the cursor to the last line

 

of a field.

Inserting and overwriting text

To insert text into some existing text, move the cursor past the character after which you wish to insert text and begin typing. Insertion mode is the Organizer’s default setting, indicated by the triangle cursor . To switch to the overwriting mode, press [INS]. Any text you enter will replace the existing text. The cursor appears as in the overwrite mode. To switch back to the previous mode, press [INS] again.

Deleting text

If you make a mistake while entering text, use the following keys to erase the incorrect text, then enter the correct text:

[BS]

Deletes the character before the

 

cursor

 

[DEL]

Deletes the character at the

 

cursor’s current location.

Working with blocks of text

Working with a block of text is sometimes easier

and more convenient than working with characters

one by one. The first step is to select the text to work with.

1.Hold down the [ ] key while using the cursor keys to move over the entire text that you want to work with. This will “highlight” the text (display it in reverse white on black).

2.You can now perform a number of operations on the selected text:

[BS] or [DEL]

Deletes the selected text.

[2nd] [COPY]

Copies the selected text to the

clipboard

so that it can later be

pasted to

another location.

[2nd] [CUT] Deletes the selected text from its current location and moves it to the clipboard.

[2nd] [PASTE] Replaces the selected text with whatever is currently in the clipboard.

24

Once text is selected, any new text that is typed in will replace the selected text. This can be useful if you are replacing one block of text with another, as selecting the old text and then typing the new text saves you the trouble of actually deleting it first.

*You can also delete selected text using DATA DELETION from the menu.

For a full explanation of the Cut/Copy/ Paste functions, see p.69.

Scrolling the display

If there is more information than can be displayed at one time, an arrow will appear at the bottom of the display. The arrows indicate the direction you need to scroll in. Press [ ] or [ ] to scroll the information one line at a time.

Finding Specific Entries in Your Organizer

There are a number of ways that you can locate entries and information in your Organizer. One is to scroll between entries using the [NEXT] and [PREV] keys. Others are as follows.
