Organizers

Data in the SCHEDULE, ANN, TEL, MEMO and EXPENSE
modes can be transferred. The data is transferred and verified
by mode (all entries in a mode or a directory - TEL 1, TEL 2,

TEL 3) or by entry. In addition, data can be backed up.

Transferring data by mode or by entry

During mode transfer, data previously stored in the specified
mode of the receiver is deleted. Proceed with caution.

Note: When mode transfer is carried out in the TEL mode, all

listings in the specified directory will be transferred. (In
this case, the directory file name is transferred at the
same time.)

When transferring TEL data, directories on the transmitter
and receiver can be different. The contents received by the
receiver will be stored in the open directory. For example, if
TEL 1 is selected on the transmitter and TEL 3 on the
receiver before the data transfer is established, the contents
of TEL 1 will be sent to and stored in TEL 3.

. Turn off the SECRET function on both the transmitter and

the receiver before mode transfer.

If the amount of memory available on the receiver at the
time of transfer is insufficient, data transfer is not possible.
The message “MEMORY FULL” appears. Delete any

unnecessary data, verify whether the available memory is
sufficient, and repeat the data transfer procedure.

Transferring data with another ZQ series
or IQ series Organizer

Data transfer restrictions

There are some restrictions when transferring data with any ZQ
series Organizer other than the ZQ-2500/ZQ-2700 or the IQ
series Organizers (previously shown). These restrictions result
from differences in functions and the maximum allowable size
of an entry between the Organizers.

When transferring SCHEDULE data from the ZQ-D400,
ZQ-4450, or ZQ-4450M, or the ZQ-6000, IQ-8000, IQ-7000 or

ZQ-5000 series Organizers

l Any alarms set on SCHEDULE data transferred from one of

the above Organizers, regardless of their actual setting time
for the specified events, will be set to the events starting
time on the

ZQ-25OO/ZQ-2700.

When transferring data from ZQ-6000 or IQ-8000 series
Organizers

. When transferring an entry from the ZQ-6000 or IQ-8000

series to the ZQ-2500/ZQ-2700, the maximum allowable
size of the transferred entry is as follows:

TEL mode: 537 characters

SCHEDULE mode:

523 characters

MEMO mode:

544 characters

If an entry exceeding these limits is sent to the

ZQ-2500/ZQ-2700,

“I/O

DEVICE ERROR” appears and the
transfer will not be successful.
The maximum number of characters that can be edited after
an entry is transferred to the ZQ-2500/ZQ-2700 is 514 in
the TEL mode and 512 in the SCHEDULE and MEMO
modes. Entries exceeding these limits can be displayed but
cannot be edited. Those exceeding 515 characters can
neither be displayed nor edited.
Mode transfers from the ZQ-6000 series and IQ-8000 series
can be performed even when the maximum length of an
entry exceeds the character limits specified above.

However, to display and edit data, the number of characters
must be within these limits.
TEL free field contents can be received and displayed on
the ZQ-2500/ZQ-2700 but are deleted once the edit mode is
entered.

When transferring data to and from ZQ-1000 series

Organizers

l All characters transferred from the ZQ-2500/ZQ-2700 are

EXPENSE data transferred between the ZQ-2500/ZQ-2700
and the ZQ-1000 series is stored on the receiving unit
without payment type data.
When transferring EXPENSE data by mode from the
ZQ-1000 series to the ZQ-2500iZQ-2700, an

“I/O

DEVICE
ERROR” may occur. This will occur when there is not
enough memory space to be assigned as the area for
payment type data; EXPENSE data from the ZQ-1000

series does not have this space. If the error occurs, delete

unnecessary data on the ZQ-2500iZQ-2700 to increase the
amount of free memory, then transfer the data again. Once
an

“I/O

DEVICE ERROR” occurs, all EXPENSE data
transferred to the ZQ-2500/ZQ-2700 before the error is
cleared.
When transferring EXPENSE data by mode from the
ZQ-1000 series to the ZQ-2500/ZQ-2700, no data
verification can be carried out.

Transferring data by mode or by entry
To transfer an entry,

1.

Recall the entry to be transferred on the transmitter.

Note: To perform mode transfer, select the mode by

pressing the mode key, and then press

It is not

necessary to display an entry.

Transferring data with an EL series
Organizer (including Auto Dialer)

For the EL-6100 series Organizer, TEL data and SCHEDULE
data can be transferred. For the EL-6260 Auto Dialer, TEL data

Exchanging data with a personal
computer

With Sharp’s CE-390 (Version 1.2 or higher) Organizer Link
software and cable package, you can exchange data with a
IBM” compatible personal computer. The cable connects to the
Organizer’s 4 pin computer- link port on the left side of the unit
See the Organizer Link manual for connection and software
operating instructions.

Note: Sharp’s CE-390 (Version 1.2 or higher) may not be

available at the time you purchase the Organizer.
If you already have the CE-390 (Version 1 .O or 1.

l),

please call your local Sharp dealer for information about
obtaining Version 1.2 or higher.

Ir

IBM is a registered trademark of International Business

Machines Corporation.

From CE-390, when the menu to select Organizer model is
displayed, select 5 (“YO-250M or YO-260M models”).

Caring for your Organizer

Do not carry the Organizer around in your back pocket, as
sitting on it may cause damage. The display is made of

glass and is particularly delicate.

Keep the Organizer away from heat (on a car dashboard or
near a heater, for example), humidity, and dust as these

may cause it to malfunction.

Do not drop the Organizer or allow anything to hit it.
Clean the Organizer with a soft, dry cloth and do not use
solvents (paint thinner or benzine, etc.).

Do not press the keys with a sharp pointed object.

Do not bend the Organizer, as internal damage may result.

Note: Do not carry the Organizer in your pocket or bag

together with sharp or hard objects, as these may
scratch the Organizer.

The memory contents will still be retained by the memory

backup battery.
Replace the operating batteries to avoid loss or corruption of
data.
Before removing the batteries for replacement, record
important information on paper.

Caution: Do not continue using the Organizer after it has

turned off automatically while in use. Even if it can be
turned on again, the clock time will be incorrect and
other functions may not work properly until the
batteries are replaced.

Precautions on battery use

Always replace both operating batteries at the same time.
Do not use an old battery and a new one together.
Use only the specified lithium batteries.

Replace the memory backup battery at least every 5 years.
The original batteries were installed in the factory at the
time of shipment and might be drained before reaching the
operating time indicated in the specifications.

Battery precautions

l

When batteries become weak, remove them from the
Organizer immediately. If depleted batteries are left in the
Organizer for any length of time, they may leak and cause
corrosion inside the Organizer.
Do not dispose of batteries by fire as they may explode.

Memory backup battery
The life of the memory backup battery

The memory backup battery in your Organizer has an effective
life of about 5 years under normal operating conditions. Note
that temperature extremes can shorten the battery life and
cause memory losses. Replace the memory backup battery
every 5 years.

When you replace the battery, write down the date on the label
of the Organizer so you know when to replace the battery next
time.

For example, if you replace the battery in January 2001, write:

34

Replacing the memory backup battery

When replacing the memory backup battery, make sure that
