Introduction

The Bluetooth™ Chatpen™ CHA-30 uses Bluetooth wireless
technology to communicate. Please read the “Safe and Efficient Use”
and “Limited Warranty” chapters before using your Chatpen.

What is Bluetooth wireless technology?

The Bluetooth wireless technology makes it possible to connect
any compatible portable and stationary communications device
without using cables. The technology is based on a radio link that
offers fast and reliable transmission of voice and data information.
It does not require a line-of-sight connection in order to establish
communication. The Bluetooth wireless technology uses a globally
available frequency range intended to ensure communication
compatibility worldwide.

The Chatpen concept

The Chatpen CHA-30 allows you to, via your mobile phone and the
Internet, send your notes and drawings to any computer or mobile
phone anywhere in the world.

Whatever you write or draw is saved in the Chatpen memory, which
can hold approximately 40 pages filled with writing. Nothing of what
you write or draw is ever saved in the phone (the phone is only a
carrier of data), and the phone display only reflects what is saved
in the Chatpen.

Additional Chatpen information

Getting started 5

CHA-30-R2A.book Page 6 Thursday, December 13, 2001 10:44 AM

Using your Chatpen

Note: The paper you write on must be marked with “Digital paper enabling

Anoto functionality”.

Turning your Chatpen on/off

• Remove the cap to turn on the Chatpen.

Wait for the Chatpen to vibrate once and the light to turn green.
The Chatpen is now ready to use.

• Put the cap back on the Chatpen to turn it off. To save power
and to protect the lens from dirt, always keep the cap on when
not using the Chatpen.

Writing and drawing

When writing, an intense green light on the Chatpen indicates
that the Chatpen is registering the strokes. Vibration when writing
indicates problems.

6 Using your Chatpen

• Write and draw on the drawing
area of the paper, not too near
the edges.

• Hold the Chatpen with the lens
facing the paper.

• Do not block the lens when
writing.

You can interrupt your writing and
put on the cap (turn off the Chatpen)
to continue later. Whatever you
write or draw is saved in the
Chatpen until its memory is full.
See “Using notepads and the
Chatpen memory” on page 8.

CHA-30-R2A.book Page 7 Thursday, December 13, 2001 10:44 AM

Marking a box

To mark a box on the paper, you can tick it,
put a stroke in it or just tap it with your Chatpen.
The Chatpen will vibrate briefly to confirm the
selection.

Character fields

It is important that you write well-formed characters in the character
fields (in contrast to when you write in the drawing area).

• Write on the baseline.

• Write one character per space. Do not change an already written

character, as this may cause problems in interpreting.

Using your Chatpen 7

CHA-30-R2A.book Page 8 Thursday, December 13, 2001 10:44 AM

Using notepads and the Chatpen memory

There are two different kinds of Chatpen notepads, and they are used
in two different ways.

Using a notepad with a on the first page

• Tick before you start to use the notepad the first time, to
make the Chatpen aware of the new notepad. To fill in the notepad
title is optional.

Warning! Do not touch the box with your Chatpen a second

time. If you do, you risk deleting all your notes in the notepad from
the Chatpen memory.

When you write in a notepad with a on the first page, all
that you write is saved in the Chatpen until the Chatpen memory
is full (approximately 40 pages filled with writing, or 80 half-pages).
The notes are saved in the Chatpen also when you put on the cap.
When the Chatpen memory is full, the oldest page is deleted from
the memory.

• To be sure nothing is deleted by accident, always save your notes
by sending them to yourself.

Using several notepads

The Chatpen cannot differentiate between two identical notepads. If
you have used a notepad, and then change to a notepad that is identical,
there is a risk that the notes from the first notepad will be deleted
from the Chatpen memory. Therefore, use notepads that differ in
some way, for example, the colour of the cover, the brand or the size.

Using a notepad with a at the top of every page

• Tick before you write on the page, to make the Chatpen
aware of the new page.

You can only use one page in that notepad at a time.

What you have written on a page with a printed at the top, is
deleted from the Chatpen memory once you send the page or tick

on another page.

If you do not send a page or tick on the new page you start
to write on, the new strokes will appear on top of the old ones.

Using the phone book

It will simplify sending messages if you use the phone book in your
phone. Instead of writing an e-mail address or a phone or fax number,
you can use the information in your phone book. This requires that
you have saved phone numbers and e-mail addresses in the phone
book, see your phone user’s guide for instructions.

8 Using your Chatpen

CHA-30-R2A.book Page 9 Thursday, December 13, 2001 10:44 AM

Charging the battery

The Chatpen has a built-in rechargeable battery. Use only the
Ericsson charger that comes with the Chatpen.

Troubleshooting

The list below presents some problems that might arise when you are
using the Chatpen, and what to do in the different situations.

The Chatpen is already paired with a device. Master reset your
Chatpen. See “Master reset” on page 15.

Additional information 17

CHA-30-R2A.book Page 18 Thursday, December 13, 2001 10:44 AM

• Phone finds no Chatpen (step 2)

The cause can be one of the following:

- Something is in the way of the Chatpen and the phone. Make
sure there is no solid object between the Chatpen and the phone.
Start pairing again.

- The Bluetooth function in your phone is set to off. See your
phone user’s guide for instructions how to activate Bluetooth.

- If nothing is in-between, and the Bluetooth function in your
phone is activated, restart the phone and the Chatpen (put on
the cap and take it off again), and start pairing again.

• Old software revision in phone appears on the phone.

Contact your phone retailer for new software. Start pairing from
the beginning.

Pen setup

• An error message appears instead of Pen is ready for use. (Setting

up your Chatpen alt. A)

Despite the error message, the setup might have been correctly
performed. Check this by sending an e-mail or text message to
yourself.

• Receives no text message after ticking on service provider’s

configuration paper (Setting up your Chatpen alt. C)

The cause can be one of the following:

- You have not waited long enough. It may take up to 10 minutes.

- Network signal for mobile telephony may be weak. Move to
another place and try to tick again.

- Service provider does not answer. Try configuration by
“Alternative D: Manual set-up” on page 5.

Writing

• Chatpen vibrates and light is red when writing

The Chatpen is not registering your strokes. The cause can be one
of the following:

- Your paper does not have Anoto functionality. Make sure the
paper is marked “Digital paper enabling Anoto functionality”.

- You are writing outside the drawing area or too close to the
edges. Make sure you write on the drawing area, not too near
the edges.

18 Additional information

CHA-30-R2A.book Page 19 Thursday, December 13, 2001 10:44 AM

- You are holding the Chatpen so that the lens does not face the
paper. See “Using your Chatpen” on page 6.

- The lens is blocked (for example by a finger). Make sure nothing
is blocking the lens.

- There is too much light (the camera in the Chatpen may have
problems interpreting the pattern in, for example, bright sunlight).
Try a shadier place.

- You are using an ink cartridge with unacceptable ink. See
“Technical data” on page 21.

- The printing quality is poor. Try another paper.

Sending

The cause can be one of the following:

- The service provider settings are wrong (only if Pen service did
not respond appears the first time sending). Enter the settings
again. Tick again.

- Network problems. Check that the GPRS (General Packet Radio
Services) symbol shows in the display. If not, turn off the phone,
and turn it on again. Tick again.

tick at a later time.

- GPRS is not supported, if abroad for example. Contact your
service provider for instructions.

• This paper is not supported appears on the phone when trying

to send

The paper you write on may be old, and the pen cannot interpret
the pattern. Use another notepad.
