Sharp Zaurus ZR-5700, Zaurus ZR-5800 Operation Manual

Page 1

Dear Loyal Customer: First, thank you for purchasing the Zaurus K-PDA and

welcome to the Zaurus family. We are sure you will soon find that your new assistant will change your life and the way you do business. We would briefly like to share with you our vision.

Your Zaurus exists today thanks to an incredible amount of effort and determination from our entire Zaurus team (not to mention numerous pots of black coffee). Our team at Sharp has a dream to change the way we all do business. As a business person, you already know that access to information and people anytime, anywhere is the key to gaining a competitive edge in this fast-paced information age. We feel Zaurus is the tool that can deliver this to you. It is simple to use, has months of battery life, and fits in your pocket.

How did we come up with the idea for Zaurus? Many of us found that we were lugging around notebook computers to take notes, generate summaries, and report back to our office and clients. We also found that we had a lot of "down time" that could be put to better use; sitting on trains and planes, waiting for clients, and even in meetings. Now that we are using the Zaurus, we travel lighter, work smarter, and stay more in touch with our contacts and each other. Best of all, we have very little "down time" as our "Zauri" are always with us. Now you know why we say that "Zaurus means business anytime, anywhere".

We need your help to spread the word. Show a friend or someone at work how you use your Zaurus and what it can do for them. As more and more people start using the Zaurus, we can spend even more resources on developing new accessories, add-on software programs, and new versions of the Zaurus. Better yet, if you have a mobile staff or sales force that you would like to equip with Zauri, give us a call at 800-BE-SHARP. We'll show you how you can improve their efficiency and productivity as well as enable them to better keep in touch with their clients and each other.

Finally, let us know how you feel about your Zaurus. We look forward to getting letters from our users about how you use it and improvements you would like to see. We cannot promise to answer every letter, but you can be sure we read all of the suggestions you send us. We value feedback from our customers and try to incorporate as many requests as we can in our new products. Each of us takes an incredible amount of personal pride in our work and the Zaurus. We are all Zaurus users. We believe this makes a difference in the products we create. After using the Zaurus, we think you'll agree.

Thanks again for purchasing the Zaurus and sharing our dream. We look forward to shaping the future of the information age with you.

Sincerely, The Z Team

Q: I currently also own a Sharp Wizard and

would like to move my information from my Sharp Wizard to the ZR-5700/ZR-5800. How can I do it?

A: If you own an OZ-5000/OZ-6000/OZ-9000 series

you can use wireless infrared transfer to move the information over:

• Line up the two units so the infrared ports are facing each other.

• On the ZR-5700/ZR-5800, select an application (e.g. Activities) and display the index of that application. (Note: Select "Holiday Yearly by Day Index" when transferring "Ann2" from the Organizer.)

• Select "Unit to Unit" from the SEND menu.

Touch "Receive" and then "OK".

• On the Wizard, select the application (e.g. Schedule) and select "VIA INFRARED PORT" in SET UNIT T O UNIT PATH from the Global setting, then select "SEND ALL IN THIS MODE (FILE)" in UNIT TO UNIT TRANSFER.

• Repeat for each application you want to transfer. (See p. 218 for details.)

Be sure that the sending unit does not have a blank (no characters) Telephone/Contact or User File/Data File

field name

or else the Zaurus will not be able to receive information (an error message will appear).

If you own an OZ-8000/OZ-7000 series or YO-600/ ZQ-5000 series Electronic Organizer you can get information using PC/Macintosh link software kits (OZ-791/792/793/890/892/893/895).

PC/Macintosh Link instructions:

• Transfer the data from the OZ-8000/7000, YO-

600/ZQ-5000 series to the PC or Macintosh using the above software.

• Connect your cable to the PC and the ZR-5700/

ZR-5800.

• Put your ZR-5700/ZR-5800 into a special import

mode by touching TOOLS, and selecting PC-Link and Cable (Import).

• Select the PC/Macintosh Link command to "Send

data" to your Wizard. The ZR-5700/ZR-5800 will "pretend" to be a Wizard for purposes of receiving the information.

• When finished, disconnect the ZR-5700/ZR-5800

and press ON to cancel PC-Link mode. (See p. 223 for details.)

Q: What does PC card mean?

Can I use any PC card I find on the market on my ZR-5700/ZR-5800?

A: PC card (formally "PCMCIA") is an industry

standard card format. Many popular PC cards available on the market are compatible with your ZR-5700/ZR-5800. Check with your Sharp dealer for more information, or call our automated fax-ondemand service (612-397-8601) to obtain a complete and up-to-date list of

ZR-5700/ZR-5800 compatible PC cards.

Warning

Use only recommended PC cards. Attempt to use cards that are not recommended may result in damage to the main unit and/or data loss.

Memory cards: In general, you will find that you can use most

SRAM memory cards and Flash Memory cards. You can use SRAM cards for additional memory storage (for the built-in application's data) or for making a single complete backup of that data. In addition, you can load add-on software programs onto a memory card. Flash Memory cards can be used to store multiple archives of the built-in application data (for backup purposes) as well as for loading add-on software programs. Flash

Memory cards are good for backups because you can make multiple backups (space permitting) and they are more reliable than SRAM cards (they require no backup battery).

Communication cards, etc.: Sharp has provided a number of drivers for many

of the input/output cards. Note that certain high power cards require that you use the EA-23E AC adaptor in conjunction with these cards in order to prevent excessive battery consumption. Other cards require an add-on software program to be loaded onto the ZR-5700/ZR-5800.

Q: I am using the CE-FM4 attachable Fax/

modem for my ZR-5700/ZR-5800. Exactly where can I fax from?

A: You can use virtually any standard phone line. This

includes a jack on:

• The wall of your home or office

• New public pay phones found at hotels, airports, convention centers, etc.

• Many hotel room phones (commonly labeled "Data jack")

• GTE and AT&T air phones found on many commercial jets.

Page 37

Q: How do I add software to my ZR-5700/ZR-

5800 to expand its capabilities?

A: In general, ZR-5700/ZR-5800 Add-on software

come on computer floppy disks (PC format). You will need a computer, of course, and either the ZR-5700/ZR-5800 PC-Link cable (see registration card special offer) or an infrared adaptor (such as CE-IR4). Note that if you own either the cable or an infrared adaptor for one of Sharp's various Wizards, it will also work.

To download an Add-on software program simply start the installation program included on the computer floppy disk. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. Once installed, you can access any Add-on software program by simply touching MORE and then touching the program icon in the MORE screen. Note that these Add-on software programs can be downloaded to the unit's internal memory or onto an optional PC memory card.

Just plug the included RJ-11 phone cable into the CE-FM4 modem and the phone jack. Note that you cannot use this device with digital phone lines. Digital phone lines are likely to be found at your office, typically when you have a PBX system installed. The basic rule to follow is that if you can use a standard fax machine on the phone line, then it is analog and can be used with the ZR-5700/ZR5800/CE-FM4. Check with the proper facilities personnel in your company to be sure.

Q: My batteries only lasted about one month.

Is this normal? How long should I expect them to last?

A: 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 two months of battery life. You can also use the optional EA-23E AC Adaptor or the CE-BK1 battery pack.

Page 38

Q: How do I exchange information with my

personal computer? For example, can I take telephone numbers I already have in another software program and load them into my ZR-5700/ZR-5800? Can I take letters I have written on my ZR-5700/ZR5800 and send them to my favorite word processing program?

A: Sharp offers both MS Windows and Macintosh

transfer utility software that allows you to easily exchange information with your personal computer. This software can convert your ZR5700/ZR-5800 information into computer formats that many popular software programs can read. In addition, you can save information from your favorite software programs using one of these formats and then transfer the information to the ZR-5700/ZR-5800 using this utility software. Formats supported include: .RTF (Rich Text Format), which many word

processors support (e.g. MS Word).

.TXT (text), which almost all text-oriented pro-

grams support.

.CSV (Comma Separated V alues), which many

databases, PIMs, etc. support.

Note: CSV is for multi-field/multi-record informa-

Q: How do I backup my important

information?

A: It is important to always have a back-up of your

important electronic information. Here are some ways to do this:

• You can print out a hard copy using the Sharp CE-IR1 infrared adaptor for printing. You will also need a PC-compatible printer (see page 192 for details).

• You can backup your entire unit using either a PC SRAM Memory card or a PC Flash Memory card. Flash Memory cards (space permitting) can hold multiple back-ups and require no battery backup system. In both cases, be sure the capacity of the card can handle the roughly 650 KB of user storage on ZR-5700 and 1700 KB on ZR-5800 (i.e. use 1 MB cards or higher).

• You can use an MS Windows or Macintosh data transfer utility program to back-up your data onto either a hard drive or a floppy disk. See the enclosed registration card for details about the free ($6.95 S&H) software offer from Sharp as well as details about a transfer cable offer .

MS Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation. Macintosh is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.

Page 39

tion. This utility software also allows you to "map" the fields to fit almost any program that supports CSV formats. .BMP/PICT, which is used by many programs to

exchange graphics files.

You can, of course, also use this software to backup your information to your personal computer.

To get this software for just $6.95 S&H, see the enclosed Registration Card for details.

Q: I can't seem to turn my unit on. I changed

the batteries but still nothing happens. What should I do?

A: Check the following before sending the ZR-5700/

ZR-5800 in for service: 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, which simply re-starts the unit.

If none of the procedures above help, you should send the unit to a service center. Call 800-BESHARP for the nearest service center. Give the service center a call and ask for more information about getting your ZR-5700/ZR-5800 repaired.

Q: Why should I send in the registration

card?

A: This is your way of registering your product with

Sharp, and allows us to keep you informed about new products and software available for your unit. It also gives us valuable information about our users so that we can design products that continue to meet your needs. Sharp never sells its customer list, so registering your unit will not result in you receiving loads of new junk mail from other companies.

Page 40

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: When you assign an entry to a folder in the Filer, it

uses only a negligible amount of 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 (Contacts, Documents, etc.). The Filer is a great way to organize your information and there is no reason not to use it.

Q: What is the Outlines application? Why

would I want to use it sometimes instead of Documents?

A: The Outlines 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 such as Social Security number, credit card numbers, various ID numbers, account numbers, clothing sizes, etc. Using the unit, you could make a number of Documents entries for each piece of

information, but a better way to manage the information would be to make a single Outlines 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 Outlines files could also be made, including a favorite movies list, project management file, price lists, product line-up and specification files, 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 Outlines 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. Outlines allows you to capture your thoughts and ideas, then rearrange and categorize them at any time. You can also copy an Outlines file and paste it into Documents to finish the document there, adding text to the major topics.

Save Battery Life

Sleep function

To conserve battery power, the Sleep function turns your unit off if it is not used for a set time period (the default setting is 15 minutes).

• Sleep is disabled when communicating with other devices to avoid interrupting data transfers.

• If you are storing an entry and the Sleep function turns off power before the entry is finished, data will not be lost. When you press ON, operation resumes from the state before power was turned off.

• When the unit is connected to the AC adaptor or battery pack, the Sleep function is disabled.

External power supply

Power can be supplied to your unit from the optional EA-23E AC adaptor or the CE-BK1 battery pack. The AC adaptor can be used whenever a normal AC electricity outlet is nearby. The battery pack can be used as an alternative power source when no AC power supply is available. This greatly increases your unit's portability by allowing you to operate your unit for long periods of time without depleting the operating batteries, e.g., while traveling on long journeys or working outdoors.

To use the EA-23E AC adaptor or CE-BK1 battery pack, first turn off the unit, then connect the plug to the ADAPT OR socket at the right of the keyboard, then turn your unit back on.

• When using the CE-BK1 battery pack, make sure the mode switch is set to OPERA TION.

• If the operating batteries are not installed, or are depleted, the AC adapter or battery pack will not supply power to the unit.

• Be sure to turn your unit off before disconnecting the AC adaptor or battery pack.

• Check that the AC adaptor or battery pack is connected when the unit is on, especially during data transfer. Disconnecting the unit will abort the data transfer.

Backlight Function

Filer

Filer is a unique, easy-to-use accessory that helps you manage your information by topics rather than by entry type. Filer folders let you organize information in a similar way to office folders. For example, suppose you have a project called "Andromeda". You might have the names and phone numbers of three project personnel in a Contacts file, two pages of meeting notes in Notes, a project outline in Outlines, three To Do action items, and five meeting dates in Appointments. With Filer, you can assign all entries related to the Andromeda project to a single folder. This folder can then be selected when you want to work specifically on Andromeda project information.

You cannot assign Spreadsheets entries to Filer.

Assigning entries to folders

Before using Filer, you must first assign entries to the folders. There are three ways of assigning entries to a folder: you can assign a group of entries to one folder, you can assign individual entries to one or more folders, or you can make a new assigned entry . With all methods, the entries themselves are not moved or stored in the folder, they are just assigned to it. (Entries are retained in the applications that created them).

If you forget your password, to use the Secret function again you must delete all entries marked secret.

If you have installed an optional RAM card which has the same password as the main unit, secret data on the card will also be deleted by this operation.

To delete all secret entries:

Touch TOOLS and touch Secret twice.

Touch Delete Secret Data.

Touch Yes to confirm deletion of all secret entries.

Y ou will now be able to enter a new password.

If you set the Start-up display to Ask password at start-up, and then forget your password, you will be required to do an All Reset operation, which will cause the loss of all data on your unit. (See p. 234 for details).

RAM cards and the Secret function

If you use a RAM card in your unit, that card is also protected by your password. If you remove a RAM card and change your password, or register a password for the first time, you will not be able to use the card in your unit unless you re-register the original password, or delete your current password. It is therefore crucial to keep track of passwords used with specific RAM cards. Also, before you use a new RAM card for the first time, you must delete your current password or unit will not recognize the card.

You cannot register a password for a Flash Memory card. However, if you archive unit data that includes a password into a Flash Memory card, the password is also stored in the card.
