Welcome

Thank you for buying the SHARP SL-C1000 / SL-C3000 / SL-C3100.
This device is not sold from SHARP out of Japan. It is a Japanese device with English

user interface and English keyboard.
If you are mainly interested in a calendar, addressbook, etc., you are perhaps better off

with a simple organizer.
But if you are looking for a mobile Linux system with excellent performance, you have

made the right choice.
Each device is tested and localised by us in English in most aspects, before it is shipped.

So you can start at once, without navigating through Kanji characters.
The Zaurus will start in Japanese after a factory-reset. But do not be afraid, the steps for

localisation are described on page 21.

Please note that SHARP Electronics Europe / SHARP USA does not support this device.
For further information, links and questions visit us in the internet at http://www.trisoft.de.
The largest german-speaking (sorry) Zaurus-Community is to be found at

http://www.z-portal.info. Tons of english information is available at
http://externe.net/zaurus/forum/ and on http://www.zaurususergroup.org .

In case of technical problems, you can reach us via electronic mail: [e-mail] or
via telephone: [phone]

US customers please contact [e-mail]

The Zaurus SL-C1000/SL-C3000/SL-C3100

This manual is only for the SL-C1000 / SL-C3000 / SL-C31000 models which are
different in some important points compared to the previous SL-C series Zauris.

The essential difference is the bigger battery, the included 4 GB harddrive in the
SL-C3000 / SL-C3100 and the USB port with host capability.

Startup

Insert the battery

Unlock the lower cover by sliding the the
switch for the interlock of the battery
compartment (1) to the left. Detach the
cover in direction (2).

Insert the battery as shown in the
picture. For the battery to fit tightly, press
in direction of the arrow on the end
leading to the border of the enclosure.

Put the cover for the battery
compartment back onto the device.
There is a marking dash at the border for
orientation which should be aligned to
the border of the compartment.
Lock the cover by sliding the switch to
the right.

Charging the battery

You should now connect the power supply with the Zaurus (the AC-in is located on the
backside of the device).

The Zaurus will be charged and in the upper left corner should glow a yellow charging
LED.

Please charge the Zaurus for some time, before turning it on.

Open and Turn Over Display

The display can be opened
and turned nearly horizontal
to the keyboard. There it
snaps into the maximal
possible position.

When opened, the display
can also be turned
clock-wise and overback
onto the keyboard:

Attention: NEVER turn the
display using violence or in
opposite to the designated
direction. Such damages
(Zaurus in two parts) are
not warranted.

Please touch the device at
both sides when the display
is turned. Do not touch it at
the upper border.

Device backside

1. OK / Cancel buttons for one-handed use (see next page).

2. Scrollwheel for one-handed use.

3. USB-port (USB-OTG connector for host and client connections).

4. Cover of the SHARP Serviceport, see comment.

5. Infrared.

6. Hookup for power supply (5V)
Attention : Only the original power supply from SHARP, model EA-70S, and the car

charger MHPower are approved by us. The usage of third-party power supplies can
possibly destroy the charging electronics of the Zaurus. "Cheap" power supplies often
provide 6V instead of the printed 5V

Comment regarding the Serviceport: Zaurus-enthusiasts will assume that there’s the
well known SHARP I/O port hidden behind the cover. Wrong ! Behind this cover you will
find the same connector as in all previous Zauris but for the SL-C1000/SL-C3000 there is
NO longer serial or USB communication supported via this connector. Please leave the
cover where it is because now it is only a JTAG interface for service / repair procedures. If
you try to remove this cover you risk hard scratches in the body and maybe damage this
part of the beautyful Zaurus backside.

Hard-Reset

There is a reset button hidden In the battery compartment. Should the device “hang” after
intensive Linux sessions you may reset it here.

Remove the battery cover as described on page 8. You will see a small black button in
the upper third, left side of the compartment :

Take the stylus and give the button a short prick - Reset done.

One-Handed Use

The controls at the left side offer a fast and convenient navigation, if the display is turned
over, onto the keyboard.
