Caring for the Organizer

The Organizer contains sophisticated circuitry and a glass display panel which can be damaged if not handled with care. A few precautions should be taken regarding the Organizer’s care to ensure it gives you many years of reliable and

trouble-

free use. *

Keep the Organizer away from extreme heat. Do not leave it on the dashboard of a car or near any source of heat. Do not leave it in any place that is extremely damp or dusty.

Do not drop the Organizer or subject it to severe impact or extreme 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.

Clean the Organizer only with a soft, 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.

Since this product is not waterproof, do not use it or store it where fluids, for example water, can splash onto it. Raindrops, water spray, juice, coffee, steam, perspiration, etc. will also cause malfunction.

Replace the batteries as soon as they become weak (see

p.90). Failing to replace weak batteries may result in

leakage or lost data.

Setting the Clock

In order for the Calendar, Schedule, To Do, and other time- based applications to work correctly, the built-in clock must be set to the correct time, date and city. The Clock application displays the time in two different cities: the Local city, where the user normally lives or works, and the World city, which is any other city of the user’s choice. When the Organizer is first initialized, the Local city is automatically set to New York, and the World city is London. Before setting the Clock’s correct time, you should first select the Local City for which you want to set the time.

After entering the Owner Information above, the following list of cities appears:

A new screen then appears to inform you that the basic setup procedure is now completed, and the Organizer is ready for use. However, there are other areas in which you can customize your Organizer further by setting various options. You can select START ORGANIZING to start using the Organizer. Or you can choose ADVANCED SETUP to further customize your Organizer.

To start working with the Organizer

After initialization and the User Setup has been set, the Organizer is ready to be used for normal work, such as the entry of information.

Select START ORGANIZING from the User Setup screen.

The Calendar application opens in the P-Month view.

Select any application you wish to use by pressing the corresponding key.

option.

Setting the World City

As well as setting the Local City previously, you can also select the world city, used to display the time in another city of your choice alongside the Local time. When the Organizer is

initialized, the World city is set to London.

To select the World city:

Select CHANGE WORLD CITY from the Advanced Setup screen.

The CHANGE WORLD CITY screen appears. A list of six capital cities is given, with four cities displayed at one time.

[l] - [4]

directly.

Setting the Password and Locking the Organizer

The Organizer allows you to keep selected entries in your Organizer secure by locking it with a password. Once the

Organizer is locked, the Secret entries cannot be accessed until the Organizer is Unlocked, for which the password must be given.

Select this option if you want to define a password and lock the Organizer.

From the Advanced Setup screen, select LOCK ORGANIZER.

The Lock Organizer screen appears.

Enter the password you wish to use then press [ENTER].

3. Re-type the password to confirm and then press [ENTER].

A message appears reminding you to remember your password or keep it in a safe place.

Press [ENTER].

The Advanced Setup screen reappears. Press [ENTER] to exit setup.

Turning the Organizer on and off

Press [ON] to turn the power on and [OFF] to turn the power off. The Organizer will not operate if the battery replacement switch is in the REPLACE BATTERIES position.

Auto power off

To conserve battery power, the Organizer will turn itself off if it has not

been used

for about 7 consecutive minutes. However, in order to avoid accidentally interrupting data transfers, the auto power-off function is disabled while communicating with other devices.

If the Organizer’s power goes off automatically before an entry you have been working with is stored in an application, the data will not be lost. When you press [ON], the Organizer will return to the same operating state as before the power turned off automatically.

Setting the LCD contrast to suit various lighting conditions

From time to time, the contrast of the LCD display may have to be adjusted for ideal readability. You may find, for example, that a contrast setting that was fine for the home or office is not adequate when outdoors or when traveling on public transport. Follow the procedure below to adjust the LCD contrast.

Press [MENU] three times to open the TOOLS menu.

Select LCD CONTRAST.

Adjust the contrast by pressing

[A]

and

[v]

[PREV]

and

[NEXTI.

Press [ENTER] when you are satisfied with the contrast.

Turning the key beep on and off

The Organizer can be set to make a sound (a beep) each time

a key is pressed. This may help you to know whether a key has been pressed properly. The default setting is on, indicated by a musical

symbol>

on the bottom of the display. You can

use the TOOLS menu to change the setting.

Press [MENU] three times to open the TOOLS menu.

Select KEY

SOUND ON ( J

indicates that the option is

currently set.)

The key beep is now turned off and the musical symbol

disappears from the bottom line of the display.

Backlight

The Organizer provides a built-in Backlight, which allows you

to view the display and use the Organizer even in low-light

conditions, eg. in a theater, restaurant, or business presentation. When already on, press [BACKLIGHT] again to

turn it off.

If you press [BACKLIGHT], the Backlight will remain on for as long as you continue to use the Organizer, until you have not typed any key for a set time duration. This is useful if you want to enter or access some information that will take longer than a set time duration.

You can set how many seconds the Backlight to be turned off after finishing operation.

Press [MENU] twice to open the PREFERENCES menu.

Select BACKLIGHT SETUP.

A submenu appears,

Getting to Know Your Organizer

ZQ-570 Organizer is a compact yet sophisticated information

management device that you can use anytime, anywhere. Their applications and utilities allow you to enter and organize information, and it has powerful communications facilities that enable you to put that information to optimum use when you return to your home or office. You can quickly update your computerized mailing lists, for example, or even transfer your notes, letters and memos onto a PC for further processing.

Applications

Select an option by pressing

[q]

and

[,I.

Press [ENTER] when you have finished.

The Backlight may remain on for less than a set time duration if the battery level

is very

low.

Note: Do not use the Backlight unnecessarily.

Since the Backlight drains power from the operating batteries, excessive use of the Backlight will significantly reduce your battery life.

Continuous use of the Backlight will, over time, lead to gradual loss of brightness.

Operations on the Organizer are performed using applications. The Organizer’s Calendar and Schedule, for example, are applications that record and display time related information. To start an application, press the corresponding key on the top of the keyboard.

When working in one application, you can switch to another application simply by pressing that application key. Data being

processed in the first application will be kept, even if the entry

is not complete.

Menu operations

Another powerful aspect of using the Organizer is its menu

system, which can be used to quickly issue commands and

perform operations. Two universal menus, PREFERENCES

and TOOLS, are available from all applications. In addition, all

applications have a menu for functions and commands that

are specific to each application.

Press [MENU] once displays the application menu, which contains the operations and commands specific to the particular application. Pressing [MENU] successively displays the PREFERENCES, TOOLS and PERIPHERALS menus.

Pop-up menus

The Organizer’s pop-up menus offer a convenient and efficient method of selecting options from pre-defined lists, similar to many of the latest personal computer application software packages. Most applications and functions contain some pop

fields.

When the user moves to one of these fields, the

pop-

up symbol

appears on the right ofthefield. Pressing

[y]

causes

the

pop-up

menu to appear, containing a list of options or values currently available for that field. You can then select the desired item from the list without having to type any text.

In addition, all date fields function as pop-up fields. Whether a date can be entered, the user can press

[ y ]

to display the

special pop-up one-month calendar. You can use

[PREV]

and

jNEXTj

to select

the

desired month, then the arrow keys to

select

thedesired date. You

may

find this more convenient than typing in the date directly, since the pop-up calendar also shows the days of the week.

The keyboard

The Organizer’s keyboard has a standard layout, just like a typewriter or computer.

[Q]

works just like the Shift key on a

typewriter or computer, and [2nd]

[Q]

is like the Caps Lock

key.

Above the keyboard are the special keys used to start the Organizer’s various applications, work with the various menus and control the cursor on the screen.

Symbols in white above a key such as

’

or : can be accessed by

holding down

[Q ]

and then pressing the appropriate key.

Functions in blue above a key, such as HELP, can be accessed by pressing the particular key after pressing

[2nd].

There is no

need to hold down

[2nd]

while you press the desired key.

The

[2nd]

key can also be used as a convenient way of entering some alternative characters commonly used in European languages. To enter one of these characters (appearing in blue above certain keys on the keyboard), press the

[2nd]

key

followed by the corresponding key.

Special symbols and characters, such as

‘I&“, “?”

and

“J”, can also be entered by using [SMBL]. For a full explanation, see P.75.

Display symbols

The following symbols appear at the bottom of the screen to indicate various operating conditions.

CAPS

This symbol appears at the bottom of the display to indicate that the current entry (in View or Edit

mode) has been marked as Secret.

These symbols indicate that all information in an entry cannot be shown simultaneously on the display. The additional entries or fields which cannot fit onto the display can be viewed by pressing the displayed arrow keys.

The

The Organizer is locked. Entries marked as secret cannot be accessed without first entering the password and unlocking the Organizer (see p.65).

EDIT

The entry on the display can be edited.

All alarms are enabled. When this symbol is not

shown, the alarm sound for any alarms that have been set is disabled (see

p.65).

The key sound is on (see p.13).

This symbol appears at the bottom of the display

while the backlight is on.

Built-in help and other messages

The Organizer has a built-in help feature which acts as a convenient, on-line reference manual. You can call up the Help feature at any time simply by pressing [2nd] [HELP]. On-line help is quite extensive, so you may have to call up more than one screen to find the information you require.

When built-in help is not available

On-line help is only available when called from an application screen, ie. not while performing a menu command, opening message box or some other operation. Pressing

[2nd]

[HELP] when there is no application display on the screen will have no effect

How to use built-in Help

display information for you to read. In most cases, you must make a selection or simply acknowledge the message before continuing.

Other messages may display information briefly before disappearing.

To get Help, press the number corresponding to the menu option describing the kind of Help you want. Pressing [CANCEL] takes you back to the display you were in previously. After selecting a number, the first page of help for corresponding topic is displayed.

If you make a selection from the above menu, the display that appears will resemble the following example:

In this type of display, pressing [NEXT] takes you to the next page of the display, pressing [PREV] takes you to the previous page, and pressing [CANCEL] takes you back to the HELP INDEX menu.

From time to time during normal operation, the Organizer will

display messages to guide you through necessary tasks. Many of these messages will give you a choice of commands or ask you to confirm important operations, while others will simply

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 keyboard. Each time you press [CALENDAR], [SCHEDULE],

[TO

DO], [ANN], [CLOCK],

[TEL],

[USER FILE], [MEMO], [EXPENSE],

[DAlLY]

[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 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.

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. 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.

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.51 for more

information.)

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

names of fields according to your preferences (see p.48).

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 01011999 to enter

JANUARY 1.1999.

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

WI.

When the pop-up symbol IJ 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

[I]

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

in insertion mode,

orI

as in overwrite mode (see p.25).

In the date and time fields, the cursor appears

asl,

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_.

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 2) can be entered by pressing the corresponding key. All letters will normally appear in lower case. Hold down either of the

[Q ]

keys while pressing letter

key(s) to enter upper-case letters. [2nd]

[Q]

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 lower-case mode, simply press [2nd]

[Q]

again. To enter lower-case letters while in CAPS mode, hold down

[ 0 ]

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 [

0 ]

while

pressing the appropriate key will allow you to enter these

symbols. Colons can be entered by holding down [

]

and

pressing the [ l ] key. In addition, a large number of special

When the pop-up symbol y appears by a field while editing an entry, this indicates that a pop-up menu is available for the field. The ppp-up menu contains a list of values avaiiablefor the field, and is used by pressing

value from the pop-up list. Note that the pop-up symbol only

disappears.

Moving around the display

You

can move the cursor around the display with the arrow

keys

141, PI, [Al, [VI, PREVI

and

LEVI. In

addition,

you can

hold any arrow key down for continuous rapid

movement.

The following convenient keyboard shortcuts are also available

in Edit mode:

Pndl [b

Moves the cursor to the end of the line.

Pndl [ 4 1

Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line.

Pndl

1 A

Moves the cursor to the first line of a field.

t2ndl t y

Moves the cursor to the last line of a field.

[2nd] [PREVJ

Moves the cursor to the first field.

[2nd] [NEXT)

Moves the cursor to the last 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 4. To switch to the overwriting mode, press

[INS]. Any text you enter will replace the existing text. The cursor

appears as 1 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:

PI [DELI

Deletes the character before the cursor 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.

Hold down the [ Q ] key while using the arrow 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).

Deletes the selected text from its current

location and moves it to the clipboard.

Replaces the selected text with whatever is

currently in the clipboard.

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

;pJrg

the new text saves you the trouble of actually deleting it

For a full explanation of the Cut/Copy/Paste functions, see p.73.

There are a number of ways that you can locate entries and

information in your Organizer. One is to scroll between entries using the

keys. Others are as follows.

Using index mode

Index mode gives you a listing of all the entries in a particular application. It is useful for providing a summary list of the entries contained for that application, from which a desired entry may be selected.

Many applications open in whichever mode was active when

they were last used, ie. View, Edit or Index mode.

Press the desired application key.

If it is not already displayed, switch to Index mode by pressing [ENTER] or [CANCEL].

A list of the existing entries appears.

3. If the desired entry is not displayed, you can scroll the list

of entries by pressing

[v]

and [A].

When the desired entry is displayed, select it and press

[ENTER] to see the entry in full.

You can also press any letters/symbols/numbers, then the

most relevant entry will be highlighted. Press [ENTER] to see the details of the entry. (Only Tel, User File and MEMO applications provide this function.)

Using keywords

If you know a particular entry is in your Organizer, but you

don’t remember where, you can use the Search command to

find it.

Press [SEARCH].

The Search window will open.
