About PsiWin 2  
Using this manual  
You can use the PC connectivity software PsiWin 2 to integrate  
the netBook with PCs running Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0. By  
connecting the netBook to a PC with a Docking cable and  
running PsiWin, you can:  
This manual gives an overview of all the netBook functions and  
features to give you an idea of what you can do; for more  
detailed information than is given here, refer to the netBook and  
PsiWin on-line help.  
•
View your netBook files from Windows Explorer by using  
the ‘My Psion’ icon which is added to the PC’s Desktop.  
The ‘My Psion’ icon gives you access to all of PsiWin’s  
powerful file management facilities for your netBook files.  
•
Read the first part of this chapter to find out how to get the  
netBook ready for use: fit the batteries, switch on, adjust  
the screen, find and practice with the pen and start using  
the software.  
•
Upgrade from an earlier model of Psion handheld  
computer to a netBook as a one-stop process. All your  
files will be copied from your old Psion (Series 3/3a/3c/3mx  
or Siena), converted to the netBook file formats on the PC,  
then copied to your netBook.  
•
Read ‘Things to do first!’ to find out the essential things to  
do when you first get your netBook - this covers setting the  
time and date, setting your “home city” (so that the time  
differences from your home are calculated correctly) and  
setting owner information and a machine password.  
•
•
Drag and drop files between the netBook and the PC in  
the same way that you would between PC drives, and they  
will be automatically converted to the appropriate file  
format at the same time.  
Synchronize Agenda files and your address book on  
the netBook with PC agendas (applications) and contact  
managers to keep them in step with each other.  
Back up your netBook files to the PC, then restore them  
from the PC to the netBook again should you ever need to.  
Print files on your netBook to a printer connected directly  
to your PC, or available to your PC via a network.  
•
Move on to ‘Things to do next!’ for a list of the programs  
and a brief overview of what else you may want to do when  
you first use your netBook - instructions for using PsiWin to  
connect to your PC and perform backups and more ideas  
for customising your netBook.  
Read the ‘Files, folders and programs’ chapter for more  
information about how to enter and manage the information

Note: If you do not press a key, the netBook will automatically  
switch off after 3 minutes to save battery power. Switch it on  
again, and you can continue from where you left off.  
Take care when replacing batteries!  
You will lose information if you remove both batteries at the same  
time, or allow both batteries to become completely run down. The  
netBook will warn you when its batteries are getting low, in plenty  
of time to change/charge them. See the ‘Care & safety’ chapter for  
more about battery safety, and details of how to change the  
batteries.  
Can I switch on the netBook by tapping the screen?  
Yes. You can set up your netBook to switch on when you tap the  
touch-sensitive screen. To do this, open the Switch on/off icon  
from the Control Panel in the System screen.  
You can also power the netBook from the mains. You should  
ONLY use Psion approved mains adaptors. Contact your Psion

Most of the things you can do with the pen have an equivalent  
keyboard combination, so you can use the pen, the keyboard, or  
a combination of both methods.  
The screen  
Adjust the screen contrast by holding down the Fn key and  
pressing the ‘,’ (  
) or ‘.’ (  
) key.  
Change the size of the text on the screen using the Zoom in and  
Zoom out commands.  
First steps  
When you first switch on the netBook, you will see the System  
screen. This is the “desktop” where you can view your files and  
folders, and change settings that control how the netBook  
works.  
Adjust the screen brightness by holding down the Fn key and  
pressing the Spacebar. Each press of the Spacebar increases  
brightness by one ‘step’.  
Important: Note that battery life is considerably reduced when  
the brightness is increased.

•
All the information you enter into the netBook is contained  
in files; their names are displayed in the System screen,  
beside icons that represent the programs that created them.  
All your files are stored in folders. When you start using the  
netBook, the contents of the ‘Documents’ folder is  
displayed.  
The System screen’s “Title bar” shows you which folder is  
currently displayed on the screen. When you start you are in  
the ‘Documents’ folder on the “C (Internal) drive”.  
Finding & using the pen  
The pen is located in a holder at the right, just behind the  
keyboard. To remove it, slide the pen eject button to the right.  
To replace it, push it back in and it will click into place.  
Tap lightly on the screen using the pen. It’s OK to use your  
fingers to tap on the screen, though it is best to use the pen to  
avoid fingerprints or smudges on the screen. Do not tap the  
screen with any object that has a sharp tip or you may damage  
the screen. Don’t use any type of ink pen, as the ink may be  
impossible to remove. See the ‘Care & safety’ chapter for  
instructions on how to clean the screen.  
You can have as many folders as you wish, and create folders  
within other folders. Folders can contain files created in a variety  
of programs; they are not restricted to files from a single  
program. See ‘Files, folders & programs’ for details of managing  
files and folders.  
You can usually tap on an item with the pen to select or change  
it. For example, you can tap on:

Note: If the screen doesn’t respond to your taps, you may need  
to re-calibrate it. You can do this by opening the Screen icon  
from the Control panel.

Programs & files  
When you open or move to a file, the correct program for this  
file is started automatically. You can also start programs by  
tapping on the appropriate “program icon” (the icon in the row  
of pictures at the side of the screen).  
When you run a program, it will usually display the currently  
open file, or the file that you last looked at. If you want to write a  
new letter, draw a new picture, create a new database and so  
on, you’ll need to create a new file for the particular program  
involved.

menu. The file will now be created, and the current file will  
be closed and saved at the same time. You can start entering  
your information.

You don’t have to close one program before opening another,  
just tap on another program icon, and that program will open  
too.  
•
You can also use this command in the System screen to  
create a new file. Usually, this creates a file using the  
standard settings; creating a file from within a program  
creates a file which already has any settings or preferences  
you have set up in the program.  
You can see what files and programs are open from the System  
screen by using the List open files command from the File  
menu, or by tapping on the name in the top right corner of the  
screen.  
•
It is a good idea to keep related files together in a folder, to  
make the files easier to find later. See ‘Files, folders &  
programs’ for details of how to manage your files and  
folders.  
See the ‘Which program to use?’ section for more about using  
the programs.

Entering information  
Using dialogs  
You can enter information and complete tasks using the pen or  
the keyboard. You can usually select a menu command to  
perform each task.  
A “dialog” appears when you need to make selections and enter  
further information. You can move between dialog items by  
tapping on them, or using the up and down arrow keys. Dialogs  
contain one or more of the following elements:  
•
Press the Menu key or tap on the command icon to see  
the available commands on the “Menu bar”.  
Text box: where you just type in your information.  
•
Tap on the menu names and commands, or use the arrow  
keys to move around the menus. Tap on commands marked  
with a or press the right arrow key to see further  
commands.  
List box: where you select from a number of options. You will  
see left and right arrows around the current selection; you can  
change the selection by tapping on the arrows, by pressing the  
left and right arrow keys, or by typing the first letter of the  
option you want. You can usually tap in the box or press the Tab  
key to see a list of the available options.  
Note: You can press the shortcut key combinations shown next  
to the commands as a quick way of selecting them, e.g. Ctrl+M,  
means hold down the Ctrl key and press the M key at the same  
time.  
Check box: where you make a choice between selecting an  
option or not selecting it. Just tap on the check box, or press the  
left and right arrow keys to add or remove a tick.  
•
A menu command with three dots at the end means that  
selecting the command will display a “dialog” where you  
enter more information.  
If a menu command is grey, it means that it’s not currently  
available; e.g. you cannot “Copy” unless you have first  
selected something to copy.  
To toggle Caps Lock mode, so that characters appear in  
uppercase, press Fn + Tab.  
To toggle Num Lock mode, so that you can use the  
embedded orange numeric keys, press Shift + Menu.  
Radio buttons: where you make one choice from a number of  
options. Just tap on an option, or use the left and right arrow  
keys to make a selection.  
•
•
If a dialog line is grey, it is currently not available, usually  
because you have to select something else first. For  
example, if you have not ticked the box to set an alarm for  
an Agenda entry, the lines to set the alarm time and date are  
grey. Some dialog lines only appear when another option has  
been chosen.  
•
•
Some dialogs comprise a number of “pages”, each page has a  
“tab” at the top. Tap on the tab or move the highlight to the tab  
name, to go to that page. You can also move a dialog around the

Copying information between programs  
How do I display a calendar?  
You can insert information created in one program into a  
different program. This is known as “inserting” an “object”.  
In most dialogs in which you can type a date, move to the date line  
then tap again or press Tab to display a calendar.  
Today’s date is circled, and the date currently displayed in the  
dialog is highlighted. To select another date, move to the date you  
want and press Enter. Use the buttons on the top line, or further  
presses of the Tab key, to display a three month or twelve month  
calendar. Use the “dog ears” to move between the pages of the  
calendar.  
For example, you may want to add a picture to a letter you are  
writing. To do this, write the letter as normal using the Word  
program. Then while in Word, tap the Insert sketch button on  
the Toolbar or select the command from the Insert menu. This  
will start the Sketch program, where you can create the picture.  
Close Sketch when you have finished and the picture will be  
inserted in your letter.  
You can also display a calendar from the Agenda program. See the  
‘Agenda’ chapter for more details.  
Sometimes the object you insert can be displayed as an icon,  
perhaps if you insert a large amount of Word text in an Agenda  
entry. Alternatively, you may prefer to see the actual information  
added, e.g. a map to view in the Word file.  
Dialog buttons  
Dialogs may have on-screen buttons. Tap on the button or use  
the keypress combination under it. Some buttons have a  
standard keypress equivalent:  
For example, you may wish to:  
•
insert tables of figures and graphs from Sheet into a Word  
file. You can add labels and titles to the graph in Sheet  
before inserting it in the Word file.  
keep a map of how to find a restaurant as a sketch, perhaps  
attached to an Agenda entry for the day that you’re going  
there.  
create a Sketch file of your signature, and insert the  
signature when you write letters in the Word processor.  
keep handwritten notes and ideas in Sketch. You can then  
insert them into Jotter or a Word file if necessary.  
•
•
•
Usually, you can tap the OK button or press the Enter key if  
you want to save information and remove the dialog.  
Tap the Cancel button or press the Esc key if you want to  
remove the dialog without saving the information.  
For dialogs that ask a question, you can tap the Yes button  
or press the ‘Y’ key for ‘yes’; tap the No button, press the  
‘N’ key or press the Esc key for ‘no’.

Displaying Help  
You can display help at any time, and from any program. Help  
information is contained on a series of “help cards” in one large  
database that looks similar to the databases that you create in  
the Data program. Help is not specific to the program that you  
are using; wherever you are, you can just type a “clue” to search  
for the information you need.  
Note: The on-line help contains more detailed information than  
is included in this manual.  
•
To display help: Hold down Fn and press ‘/’ ; the key has  
“Help” printed on it.  
•
•
To print the current Help card: tap the Print button on  
the Toolbar or select Print from the File menu.  
To type in another search word: press Esc, and then type  
in the word to search for as before. To use one of the last  
five search words again, tap on the button next to the Find:  
box, or press Tab and select the word you want to use.  
To return to the program you were using: tap the Go  
back button on the Toolbar, or tap the program’s icon. You  
can return to the Help card you were viewing by simply  
pressing Fn and ‘/’ again.  
•
To search for help about something: simply type your  
clue into the Find: box, and press Enter. If the Quickfind  
button is selected the display will show a list of Help cards  
with the clue in the title or initial description. Alternatively,  
if the Find in all button is selected, the display will list all  
cards with the clue in the text. To move between cards, tap  
on the Prev or Next buttons, press Enter, or use the left  
and right arrow keys.  
•
•
•
To show help for a particular program: type the  
program name followed by an exclamation mark, e.g. type  
‘Agenda!’ or ‘Contacts!’ to only show help for these  
programs.  
To look through the help text: drag the scroll bar on the  
side of the Help card, or use the up and down arrow keys.  
Note: You can highlight text in a Help card using the pen or  
keyboard, and copy it to use in a file of your own. Copy the text  
by selecting the Copy command from the Edit menu. Then go  
to your own file, and paste it in.

You may also wish to:  
•
•
•
keep a meeting agenda or minutes as a memo or voice note  
attached to the meeting’s entry in Agenda. You can then  
retrieve the notes by finding the meeting entry.  
keep a record of expenses in the Sheet program. Here you  
can search for items, add columns of numbers, or calculate  
totals and tax.  
keep a Data file as a “knowledgebase” of notes about a  
particular subject. You can keep track of references or  
products as you find them, and include additional  
information as attached “voice notes” or sketches.  
•
entering appointments, reminders, birthdays and lists  
of things to do from your old diary or time planner into

Connecting the netBook to the PC  
Backing up to a PC  
•
Connect the smaller end of the Docking cable to the serial  
port on the netBook, and the other end to a serial port at  
the back of the PC.  
You can use PsiWin to back up individual files, folders, or all of  
the netBook’s disk to the PC.  
Making regular backups.  
Using PsiWin  
It is a good idea to set up an “automatic backup” in PsiWin so that  
you can make sure your machine is backed up regularly.  
•
Please see the PsiWin chapter for installation instructions.  
For a floppy disk version of this software, please contact  
your nearest Psion distributor.  
Backing up to Memory Disks  
•
When you have installed PsiWin on the PC, the ‘My Psion’  
icon will appear on the Windows Desktop. Just click the  
right mouse button on this icon to see menu options for the  
things that you can do. PsiWin also adds a number of  
commands and icons to Windows Explorer for working on  
netBook files. See the PsiWin on-line help for details of how  
to use PsiWin with the netBook.  
You can back up individual files, individual folders or groups of  
files and folders to a Memory Disk. To back up the files and  
folders, copy them from the internal disk to a Memory Disk using  
the Copy and Paste commands in the System screen.  
1. Select the files and folders you want to back up, then select  
the Copy command from the Edit menu.  
2. Set the current disk to be D (i.e. the Memory disk), and  
select the folder you want to use for the backup on disk D.  
3. Select the Paste command from the Edit menu.  
Note: The Comms program that is built into the netBook  
provides terminal emulation and file transfer to other computers.

System screen the first time you switch the netBook on; at other  
times, just tap the System program icon to move to it.  
•
To move the highlight between the files and folders on  
the screen: tap on the names, or use the arrow keys. If  
there are more files in the folder than can be displayed on  
screen, scroll the screen using the left and right arrow keys,  
or the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.  
When you first turn the netBook on, the name of the current  
folder is displayed in the Title at the left of the screen. Files are  
listed in columns across the screen; the icons beside their names  
represent the programs which are used to open them.  
You can use a “bookmark” to tag and move to a folder that you  
often use. Move to the folder and select Set bookmark from

Opening files, folders & programs  
Closing programs/files  
•
To open a file or folder from the System screen: tap it  
twice, or highlight it and press Enter. Files that are currently  
open have their names displayed in bold on the System  
screen. Opening a file automatically saves and closes any  
other file that is currently open in the associated program.  
To open two or more files of the same type at the  
same time: hold down the Fn key while opening the  
second file from the System screen. Then tap the program  
icon to cycle through the open files.  
To move to a program: tap the relevant Program icon; tap  
the Extras icon to display more program icons. If the  
program is file-based, e.g. Data or Word, the program  
displays the last file you were looking at. You can start a new  
file using the New file Toolbar button or the command on  
the File menu (see ‘Creating new files’ later for more  
details).  
•
•
•
To close the current folder: tap on the Close folder icon  
at the top of the screen, or highlight it and press Enter.  
When you close all folders in the System screen, you move  
to the highest level of the disk, called the “root” of the disk.  
To close a file: use the Close command on the File menu,  
either in the program in which the file is open, or in the  
System screen. Any changes you have made to the file are  
automatically saved.  
To Close a document without saving your changes, you need  
to select Revert from Saved from the program’s File  
menu, before exiting in the normal way. Some applications,  
like Agenda and Data, always save your entries as you enter  
them, so do not provide this facility.  
•
•
You can also close files or programs by holding down Ctrl and  
tapping the System icon, then using the Close file button in the  
list of open files and programs.  
Note: If the last file you were looking at has been deleted,  
moved or renamed, the program automatically looks for a file  
with a standard filename (e.g. Word, Data, Agenda and so on) in  
the standard folder, and opens this file instead. It will create a  
new file if necessary.  
Note: Tap on the Extras icon to display additional icons for  
programs installed on your netBook. If there are more programs  
than will fit on the screen, tap the More button.  
How can I see which files and programs are open?  
Select the List open files command from the File menu, or hold  
down the Ctrl key and tap the System icon. To move to a file or  
program in the list, highlight it and press the Go to file button.

Creating new folders  
You can keep a maximum of 64 items (each file or folder counts  
as one item) in the “root” (top level) of the netBook’s internal  
disk. It’s best to create a number of folders in which to store all  
your files to prevent the top level of the System screen from  
becoming too full.  
To create a new folder:  
1. Move to the folder in which you wish to create the new  
folder.  
2. Select the New folder command from the Toolbar or File  
menu, and type in the folder name.  
You might want to create some folders for work projects and  
others for home use. For example, you may create a folder  
called “House” for files relating to work on your house, and  
create another folder within the “House” folder called “Letters”  
for Word files of correspondence. Using folders in this way will  
also make your files easier to find.  
You cannot use the following characters in a folder name:  
< > : / \ *?  
If you use netBook files with a PC, you may wish to create  
folders that match equivalent folders on your PC. This will make  
transferring files between the netBook and PC easier.

Creating new files  
You can create files from the System screen, or from within  
programs. As a general rule:  
What names can I use for my files & folders?  
You can use most characters in file and folder names including  
spaces, so it is fine to have folders called, for example, “1997  
Purchase Orders and Invoices”. The only characters which cannot  
be used in a file or folder name are / < > : \ * and ?.  
•
Create a file from the System screen to start with the  
standard netBook settings.  
The maximum length of a filename is 256 characters, although note  
that this includes the disk drive letter, and the names of the folders  
within which the file is contained (known as the “path”). The  
maximum length of a folder name, including the path, is 252  
characters.  
•
Create a file from within a program to use the settings that  
are in use in the file currently open, e.g. labels in a Data file.  
To create a file from the System screen:  
1. Move to the folder where you wish to keep the file.  
2. Select the Create new command from the File menu, then  
This will not generally be a problem, although it means that you  
may encounter difficulties if you use very long filenames for files  
which you store in folders which have long names, nested within  
other folders with long names, and so on. If you do exceed the  
maximum allowed length, rename a folder or file to a shorter  
name.  
select File.  
3. Select the program you wish to use, e.g. Word for a Word  
document.  
4. A filename is suggested. If you do not wish to use this, type  
a name of your own before pressing the OK button.  
Important:  
Note: If you have an existing file already open within the  
program, and wish to leave it open so that you can refer to both  
files, hold down the Fn key while pressing the OK button.  
Note that files are not stored with a filename extension so that an  
Agenda file, e.g. called ‘1997’, will have the same filename as a  
Sheet file called ‘1997’. You cannot store two files with the same  
name in the same folder, even if the files are created using different  
programs. If you save a file with the same filename as a file already  
existing in that folder, the original file will be deleted and replaced  
with the new file.

File menu.  
2. Type your password twice for confirmation. Choose a  
password that you won’t easily forget, but one that won’t  
be easy for other people to guess.  
To check whether a file is a “read-only” file, highlight it in the  
System screen and select Properties from the File menu.  
Note: If you transfer a “read-only” file to another machine, it can  
be viewed, and the “read-only” attribute can be removed.  
3. Press the OK button, and the file is saved immediately  
with the password.  
When you want to open the file, you will be asked to type in  
the password.  
Important: don’t forget your password!  
If you have forgotten the password for a file then you will not be  
able to open it.  
The password on an individual file will protect it if you transfer  
it to a Memory disk or another machine. If you copy the file,  
the copy will be protected by the same password. The  
password also prevents the file being converted to another  
format and read on a PC.

naming convention (with Word as the example): Word(01),  
Word(02), etc. You can rename the file or folder later if you  
wish.  
To copy the entire contents of a disk to a folder on  
another disk: e.g. to back up the entire contents of your  
Internal disk (‘C’) to a backup folder on a Memory disk  
(‘D’), select Copy disk from the Disk menu.  
To rename a single file or folder: highlight it, select  
Rename from the File menu, and then type in a new name.  
1. First highlight the file(s) or folder(s) to select them. To  
highlight a consecutive list of files or folders, highlight the

Checking memory use  
What will happen when the memory is full?  
•
To display the amount of memory remaining: select  
Show disk gauge from the View menu to see the amount  
of free memory in the System screen Title bar. Tap on this  
gauge, or select the Disk command from the Information  
menu to see more detailed information about a selected  
disk.  
When the memory is nearly full, you will see warning dialogs when  
running programs to indicate that the netBook’s memory is almost  
full, and there is not enough memory to perform some tasks.  
Many of the things you do need just a little free memory in order  
to work - displaying dialogs, menus, etc. These can fail with a  
message like ‘Memory full’. Don’t worry though, the netBook will  
not allow you to use all of the available memory; it will always set  
aside enough memory for you to close a program or save an open  
file to a Memory disk.  
•
To see information about total memory usage: select  
the Memory command from the Information menu.  
Which files use the most memory?  
Certain types of files use more memory than others.  
Files saved on the Internal disk and “open” programs both use  
memory. So, if the memory is nearly full you should be able to free  
some memory by closing some programs. You can use the List  
open files command from the File menu in the System screen to  
check which programs are running, and then close the programs or  
files that you do not need to have open.  
Sound files can become very large, so you should take care to  
delete unwanted Record and Voice note files so that they do not  
use up space on the Internal disk.  
When recording a sound, the netBook will allow you to continue  
recording until the ‘Time available’ runs out. Even if the Time  
available is zero, the Record program will always leave  
approximately 100 kilobytes of free memory.  
You can also delete any unwanted files from the System screen, or  
move files to a Memory disk or your PC to free more memory.  
If you find that the amount of free memory is suddenly reduced,  
it is a good idea to check the size of any Record files.  
Agenda files can also become very large. You should tidy your  
Agenda periodically in order to remove entries; see the ‘Agenda’  
chapter for more details.

the netBook. You might use them as additional memory for  
storing files, or to add more programs to the netBook.  
Any programs appearing in the Extras bar can be allocated one of  
these icons so that they can be launched with one tap of the pen.  
To do this, tap the Extras icon on the Toolbar then tap the word  
‘Extras’ on the title bar and select the appropriate program for  
each of the User Application entries. This may be particularly  
useful if you have loaded a new program which you will often  
use.  
•
•
If a Memory disk contains additional programs: their  
icons will automatically appear in the Extras bar when you  
insert the disk. They will be removed from the Extras bar  
when you take out the disk.  
To delete all the files on a Memory disk: put it in the  
slot, and then select the Format disk command from the  
Disk menu; select ‘D’ as the ‘Disk’ in the Format disk  
dialog. Do not format the ‘C’ disk - this will remove all  
the files you have stored on the netBook’s Internal disk, and  
remove all the preferences and settings that you have set up.  
If you wish to run a translated OPL program, locate the file in the  
System screen, highlight the filename and tap it or press Enter to  
run it.  
Can I run Series 3/3a/3c/3mx/5/5mx programs on a netBook?  
There are no major differences between OPL for Series 3/5  
machines and OPL for the netBook. If you have written programs  
in OPL on a Series 3/5, you should be able to translate them so  
that you can run them on a netBook. Series 3/3a/3c/3mx  
applications (which are not written as OPL programs) will not  
run on a netBook, however, applications written for Series5/5mx  
should work but may not scale to cover the full screen size.

Entering text  
WORD  
The text you type always appears at the current cursor location  
(there is a marker in the margin to help you find the cursor). All  
text after the current cursor position moves to make way for the  
new text. To delete characters, press Delete to delete  
backwards or hold down Shift and press Delete to delete  
forwards from the cursor.  
Word is the word processing program. It has many of the editing  
and formatting features that you would expect from a fully-  
featured word processor.  
Many types of text formatting, e.g. alignment and font settings,  
can be applied to individual paragraphs or defined as a paragraph  
“style”.

When text reaches the right-hand side of the screen, it  
automatically “wraps” the text onto the next line. If you want to  
view your page as it will be printed (“WYSIWYG”), switch off  
word-wrapping by removing the tick from the command on the  
View menu.  
Finding & replacing text  
You can search through an entire file for a particular word or  
phrase and, if you wish, replace it with a different one.  
•
To find text: tap the Find button on the Toolbar or select  
the command from the Edit menu and type in the text that  
you want to find. You can search “down” or “up” through a  
file - down searches from the current position to the end of  
the file, and up searches backwards to the beginning of the  
file. While searching, you can match the whole word, or  
make the search case sensitive.  
As you might expect, you can apply many commands to sections  
of text by highlighting them first. To highlight text, drag the pen  
over it or hold down Shift and use the arrow keys. To select all  
text in the file, use the command on the Edit menu. The Cut,  
Copy and Paste commands can be accessed from the Edit  
menu or the Clipboard  
button on the Toolbar.  
•
To find and then replace text: select the Replace  
command from the Edit menu. Type the text that you want  
to find, as before, and the text that you want to replace it  
with. You can replace a single occurrence of the chosen  
text, or all occurrences from this point onwards.  
•
To remove text: highlight the text and press Delete or  
select the Cut command. If you accidentally delete a section  
of text, you can replace it by selecting the Undo delete  
command from the Edit menu.

Indents & tabs  
Formatting paragraphs  
Indents set the position of a paragraph between the margins,  
while tabs allow you to line up text on the page.  
Many formatting and spacing options can be applied to whole  
paragraphs. A paragraph may be a single word or title, a standard  
paragraph of text, or several lines grouped together, e.g. an  
address.  
You can set left, right and first line indents for selected  
paragraphs by selecting the command from the Paragraph  
menu and entering a measurement (measured from the existing  
margins) in the boxes. The left indent applies to all lines except  
the first line, so that you can create a “hanging indent” by  
applying different left and first line settings.  
Each time you press the Enter key you start a new paragraph.  
To start a new line without starting a new paragraph (e.g. for an  
address), hold down Shift and press Enter to insert a “forced line  
break”.  
You can change the standard tab setting, and set up custom tab  
stops for individual paragraphs by selecting the command from  
the Paragraph menu.  
•
To apply formatting to an entire paragraph, e.g. to change  
the horizontal alignment, place the cursor within the text of  
the paragraph using the pen or arrow keys, then tap the  
button or select the menu option. To apply formatting to a  
number of paragraphs, make sure that the highlight covers  
at least part of each paragraph. You don’t need to highlight  
all the text in the paragraphs you want to format.  
Bullets & symbols  
To emphasise paragraphs that are items on a list you can precede  
each paragraph with a bullet.  
•
To add a bullet to a paragraph, tap  
or select the  
Aligning paragraphs  
command from the Paragraph menu. Use the menu  
command to change the bullet format, i.e. the size or colour  
of the bullet character, or the character to use.  
Alignment changes the horizontal position of paragraphs on the  
page. You may wish to align the text left or right with the  
appropriate margin, centre a title, or justify text to align both  
edges with the margins.  
•
To change the alignment: select the paragraph(s) to align,  
then tap or select the command from the Paragraph  
menu, then select the alignment you want.  
Note: Margins are set as part of the file’s page setup. See ‘How  
the page looks’ later for more information.

•
To set line spacing: select the command from the  
Paragraph menu and enter a point size. Set the spacing to  
‘At least’ to ensure that lines of text never overlap, but will  
move further apart to accommodate any larger text  
appearing on the same line, or ‘Exactly’ to ensure that lines  
of text are always the same distance apart, even if larger  
text appears on the same line.  
Special characters  
You can insert foreign and other special characters in your file by  
selecting the Special character command from the Insert  
menu.  
You can also insert non-printing characters which control word  
wrapping on the screen and in the printed document:  
•
For a non-breaking space, press Shift and the Spacebar. This  
will prevent a line breaking at the space.  
To insert extra blank space between paragraphs, enter point  
sizes for the ‘Space above’ and ‘Space below’.  
•
For a non-breaking hyphen or “hard hyphen”, press Ctrl  
with the - key. This will prevent a line breaking at the  
hyphen.  
Note: The other lines in this dialog affect where page breaks  
occur when the file is printed. See ‘How the page looks’ later.  
Paragraph borders  
You can draw a border around a paragraph. You can also change  
the background colour of a paragraph.  
You can use the View preferences command on the Tools  
menu to select which non-printing characters are displayed on  
screen.  
•
To draw a border: select the paragraph(s) then tap  
and select from the range of options. Or, use the command  
on the Paragraph menu to apply the borders and set the  
style and colour for each “side” of the border (i.e. Left,  
Right, Top or Bottom) and how far you want the border to  
be from the text. You can also set a background colour.  
Line spacing  
When you select a particular font size, Word automatically uses  
an appropriate line spacing to make sure that there will always  
be a gap between successive lines of text. You might sometimes  
wish to override these settings, e.g. in a paragraph with different  
sizes of text.  
•
Remember to set different background and text colours,  
otherwise the text will be invisible.

Defining styles  
Document outlines  
In addition to the built-in styles, you can create your own - either  
from scratch or by modifying an existing one. Styles are saved  
with the file, so each Word file can have different style settings.  
You can view an outline of a document, with one line for each  
paragraph style which has an “outline level”. The standard  
Heading styles use a sequence of different outline levels: Heading  
1 is the highest with outline level 1, Heading 2 has outline level 2  
and so on.  
1. Tap the Style gallery button on the Toolbar or select the  
command from the Paragraph menu and select New to  
create your own style, or select Modify to change the  
currently selected style in the list.  
You can choose which paragraph styles you want to display in the  
outline, making it easier for you to see the structure of the  
document and move between different sections.

can tap an object to edit it again. You can also format an object to  
resize it, or crop the edges to control the amount of the object  
displayed, by highlighting it and using the Object commands on  
the Edit menu.  
Creating a new file  
To create a new Word file, use the Create new file command  
on the File menu in Word or the System screen. If you do this in  
the Word program you can enter a filename and location and  
select a “template” for the new file.  
You can also use the Format object command to display an  
object as an icon of the program that created it to save space on  
screen. To set a preference so that objects are always displayed  
as icons when first created, use Object preferences on the  
Tools menu.  
File templates  
A template is a document design that you can use as a starting  
point for new documents. The template can include text,  
paragraph styles and page layout information. When you create a  
new document using a template, Word copies the information in  
the template into the new file which you can then change as you  
require. For example, you can use the standard Fax template to  
create a fax - the template includes the coversheet text and you  
can add the fax details and number.  
Some objects, e.g. sounds from Record, are always displayed as  
icons and cannot be formatted. Tapping the icon (or selecting it  
and pressing Enter) opens a copy of Record so that you can play  
the sound.  
Important: Note that inserting objects into a file causes a  
considerable increase in file size.  
You can select from a number of standard templates. When you  
open a document using a particular template, you then work on  
a document based on the template; you don’t change the  
template itself.  
Spell checking  
To check the spelling of a Word file, tap the Spell button on the

automatically saved.  
You can undo all changes since the last “save” using the Revert  
to saved command on the File menu. This will re-open the  
most recently saved version of the file.  
Note: If you password-protect a file, it is immediately saved as  
“password-protected”. If you revert to saved, you will need to  
enter the password for the file.  
You can display where page breaks will occur in a file by selecting  
the Paginate command from the Tools menu. The position of  
each page break is then shown with a dotted line. Note that the  
dotted lines are not automatically updated if you edit the  
document further, so you will need to select the Paginate  
command again if you wish to repaginate and update the position  
of the dotted lines.  
How the page looks  
When you create a new file, Word uses standard page settings to  
control how your text will appear when printed. To change the  
page setup for the current document, select the Page setup  
command from the Printing commands on the File menu;  
adjust the paper size, orientation and margins as appropriate.  
Headers, footers & page numbers  
Headers and footers are pieces of text (e.g. page numbers or a

line, separating them with a space or the date separator  
character as set in the System screen, e.g. 1 Oct 69 or 1 10  
69, or 10 1 69 if you use this date format.  
To enter a time: type the hour, minutes and seconds,  
separating them with a colon (or the time separator  
character as set in the System screen).  
Highlight more than one cell to perform actions which apply to  
an area:  
•
To highlight more than one cell: drag the pen from the  
first cell in the block to cover the desired cells, or hold  
down Shift and use the arrow keys.  
•
•
To highlight a whole column or a whole row: tap the  
shaded column or row heading, e.g. “C” or “2”.

You can also change the width of columns and the height of  
rows, to suit the information contained in them. To do this:  
Performing calculations  
There are two ways to perform calculations:  
•
Drag the right-hand edge of the column heading to adjust its  
width, and the lower edge of the row heading to adjust its  
height.  
•
Type the calculation into a single cell. When you press Enter  
or move to another cell, the result will be displayed on the  
worksheet.  
•
Use the commands on the Format menu to set the height  
of a row in points and the width of a column in characters.  
•
Use a formula for a calculation; just type the different parts  
of your calculation in separate cells and note their  
references, e.g. income in B2 and tax in C2. In a new cell,  
enter the formula, beginning with a =. Use the cell  
references for the components of the calculation rather  
than the numbers themselves. For example, =C2-(B2*C2).  
The value displayed in this cell is calculated for whatever  
values you use in the component cells.  
Note: If you enter more text than can be displayed in the current  
cell, the information will run over into the next column if that  
column is empty, so you may want to adjust the column width. If  
you enter a number that’s too long for the cell, you will see a  
series of # signs in the cell, though the actual number will still be  
stored.  
•
To freeze panes on the worksheet: type the information  
you wish to “freeze” in the rows and columns, position the  
pointer in the cell below the row to freeze, and to the right  
of the column to freeze (this will often be B2). Tap the  
button, or select the command from the View menu. The  
“frozen” panes will stay on screen when scrolling through  
the rest of the worksheet.  
Note: If you have a row or column of cells and want to know  
their sum, position the pointer in the cell at the end of the row  
or column and tap the  
button. Sheet will insert the formula  
for the sum of the preceding group of cells and calculate the  
result.  
•
•
To protect the worksheet from changes: select the  
Protection command from the Tools menu.  
To allow changes to some cells only: highlight the area  
for which you wish to allow changes, select the Protection  
command on the Tools menu and remove the tick to  
“unlock” the highlighted cells. If you then protect the  
worksheet, changes are only allowed to the cells that are  
not locked.

There are two types of cell reference you can use in a formula:  
•
Relative references, such as A2. These get updated when  
copied and moved elsewhere. For example, a reference to  
cell A2 in a formula in cell B3 will change to B2 if the  
formula is copied to cell C3.  
•
You can combine the two types of reference: A$5 in A6 will  
become B$5 when copied to B8.  
A formula which contains a reference to its own cell, either  
directly or indirectly, is called a “circular reference”. You can find  
•
Absolute references, such as $A$2. These contain a $ sign in any circular references in the worksheet using the Find  
front of the parts of the reference that you don’t want to  
change even if the formula is moved elsewhere. So, $A$2 in  
cell B3 remains $A$2 when copied to cell C3.

Recalculation  
Using ranges  
Sheet automatically recalculates your worksheet every time you  
change part of a calculation. You may want to turn this feature off  
if you are making a large number of changes in the worksheet. To  
do this:  
A range is a rectangular block of cells. The reference for a range  
consists of the cell references of the top left and bottom right  
corners of the block, separated by a colon, e.g. B2:C6. You can  
use ranges to define areas of the worksheet for applying  
formatting, creating graphs, or include range references in  
formulae, e.g. =SUM(B2:C6).  
•
Tap the View Prefs button on the Toolbar or select the  
Preferences command from the Tools menu, and set Auto  
recalculation to off. When Auto recalculation is off, a ‘+?-’  
symbol will be displayed at the right end of the input line  
whenever you need to recalculate manually to update  
results.  
•
To select a range: highlight all the cells you want to be a  
part of your range.  
•
To use a range in a formula: highlight the range to be  
inserted while entering the formula. For example, type  
“=SUM(” then drag the highlight to cover the appropriate  
range, type a “)” and press Enter.  
To make Sheet recalculate the worksheet, select the command  
from the Tools menu.

your calculations. See the built-in help on the netBook for a full  
list and details of syntax.  
the Add name command from the Name commands on  
the Insert menu. You can use this name in sums and  
formulae, e.g. “=AVERAGE(Bills)”. You can edit the range  
name using the Edit name command.

Changing how information is displayed  
Sorting information  
You can format the information in the worksheet in a number of  
ways, e.g. to differentiate the parts of tables and calculations.  
Formatting is applied to the currently selected cells.  
You can sort rows in a list based on values in a single column or  
in several columns. You can also sort columns based on values in  
rows, if your list is set up that way. In either case, you can sort  
using more than one row or column. For example, if you want to  
sort a table based on a ‘surname’ column, but have more than  
one entry for each surname, you can also sort again using a ‘first  
name’ column.

Will alarms still ring if I close Agenda?  
If you close an Agenda file, the Agenda informs the netBook clock  
to ring the next Agenda alarm at the appropriate time. However,  
the netBook will not be able to ring any further Agenda alarms  
from that file until you open it again.  
If you do need to close the Agenda file, do not set an alarm and  
then immediately close the file or switch off. This is because the  
Agenda program needs a certain amount of time to calculate when  
the next alarm should ring, and if you switch off before the  
calculation is complete, the netBook clock will not have been

Repeating entries  
Lists and things to do  
You can set an entry to repeat automatically, e.g. a monthly  
meeting.  
You can use a “to-do list” to note down tasks or items you want  
to remember. Initially you have two to-do lists, and you can add  
more lists later.  
1. Move the cursor to the entry and set the repeat using the  
command on the Entry menu.  
You can also give each item on a to-do list a due date, and assign  
priorities to to-do entries to control the order they appear in the  
Agenda views.  
2. Set up the repeat type as appropriate, e.g. Daily, Monthly,  
Weekly etc. You can also set the repeat to ‘Monthly by  
date’, e.g. the 7th of each month, ‘Monthly by days’, e.g. the  
first Monday of each month, ‘Yearly by date’, e.g. once  
every year on the same date or ‘Yearly by day of week’, e.g.  
the third Tuesday in March every year.  
3. Press the Alarm/More button to set up the days and dates  
for the repeats (except for ‘Daily’ repeats). Set the interval  
for how many days, weeks, months or years you want  
between repeats.  
To-do entries are marked with a circled ‘T’ symbol (  
).  
Adding a to-do  
1. Move to the To-do view and just start typing, or create a  
new to-do entry using the command from the Entry menu.  
2. Type in the details of the to-do, e.g. ‘Buy paper’. The  
“Priority” can be used to determine the order in which to-  
do entries are listed in the to-do list, priority 1 is highest.  
3. If the to-do entry has a deadline, press the Alarm/More  
button and tick the ‘Dated’ box. Then set the due date to  
the deadline date. If you want advanced warning of the  
deadline, set up warnings as appropriate. You can set how  
due dates are shown, e.g. Date, Days or Auto (date, days  
and ‘tomorrow’) if you want to see when the to-do is due.  
•
If you only want the entry to repeat a few times, remove  
the tick from the ‘Repeat forever’ line and set the number  
of occurrences, or type in the date of the last occurrence on  
the ‘Until’ line.  
If you only want to see the next occurrence of a repeated  
entry, you can choose to show ‘Next only’.  
•
Entries which are set to repeat are marked with ».  
Note: If you select ‘Next only’ and the last occurrence has  
passed, you will not see the entry any more. Use the Find  
command from the Edit menu to be able to see them.

What type of email accounts can I use?  
If you don’t have an Internet/email account  
There are a number of different types of email account. See the  
list below to find out which types of account you can connect to  
using the Email program on your netBook:  
You will require an email account before you can access the  
internet and send and receive email messages on your netBook.  
•
To get a personal email account, you must ‘sign-up’ with an  
Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISPs usually provide an email  
account as part of an Internet access package.  
•
A personal ‘dial-up’ account. This could be a dial-up  
email account which you’ve signed-up for with an Internet  
Service Provider (ISP), e.g. Freeserve or Pipex Dial.  
•
Most ISPs will provide software (e.g. a CD ROM) which will  
help you set up Internet access and the email account on a  
PC.  
Which ISPs can I use?  
You can use most ISPs which use ‘Internet standard’ methods for  
connecting to your email account. However, some ISPs (such as  
America Online) use proprietary methods for connecting, and  
cannot be accessed by your netBook (i.e. you must use a PC).  
Move on to ‘Setting up your netBook’ to continue.  
Important: Some ISPs require that you connect to them  
using a PC in order to sign-up. If you can’t do this, contact  
the ISP to find out if you can sign-up without using a PC. If  
you have Internet access, see “www.mobile.psion.com”  
for more details.

A ‘remote’ (e.g. office) email account. This could be an  
email account at your workplace, e.g. using Lotus cc:Mail or  
Microsoft Mail.  
How do I find out if I can use my account?  
You will need to find out from your network administrator whether  
you can access your email mailbox using this type of account.  
If you can, move on to ‘Setting up your netBook’ to  
continue.  
A Web based email account. This is an email account  
which you must connect to using a Web browser, e.g.

If you are using a standard external modem or PC Card  
modem, you will need to connect your modem to a  
telephone socket. If you are using a mobile phone, your  
network operator will need to enable your SIM (Subscriber  
Identity Module) card so that you can make fax and data  
calls on your phone. If your phone has been enabled for fax  
and data calls, you should have two extra phone numbers.  
Contact your network operator if you are unsure whether  
your phone’s SIM card is ‘data-enabled’.  
2. A Modem.  
You will need a modem to connect your netBook to the  
telephone network. You can use the following types of  
modem with your netBook:  
Standard external PC modems.  
‘PC Card’ modems.  
Mobile phones with built-in modems.  
Note: if your mobile phone doesn’t have a built-in modem,  
you will need to use it with a PC Card modem.

so you may need to connect before you can open them.  
If you want to open an image file using Web, the filename extension  
must match the image file format. Make sure there is a “.gif” at the  
end of the filename if it is a GIF image; “.jpg” if it is a JPG image; or  
“.mbm” if it is an MBM image.

A proxy Web server is a remote machine that stores a large  
number of Web pages. You can use a proxy server as a single  
point of Internet Web access. By setting Web to use a proxy  
server, you may be able to retrieve pages more quickly.  
Web can keep local copies of the Web pages you’ve viewed  
during any one session, so you can open them more quickly and  
even view them when you’re not connected to the Internet. You  
can change the size of this “cache” according to the amount of  
memory you have free.

Cookies  
If you have disabled plain text authentication and your netBook  
cannot log in to your Internet service, you’ll see the message:  
If you see a Cookie information dialog, this is because a Web site  
you have contacted has asked to store a ‘cookie’ on your

authentication  
This means that in order to log in to this server you have to  
enable plain text authentication.  
Cookies are small files which store your personalised information  
and settings for a Web site. Other sites may read the information  
in your cookie files, so although they are normally harmless, you  
may want to stop using them for confidentiality reasons.

server without being encrypted first. You may consider this to be a  
security risk: contact your Internet service provider if you are in  
doubt.  
To stop using cookies:  
1. Select General preferences on the Tools menu and tap on

Managing emails  
EMAIL  
When you first open Email, you will see the “Folders” view which  
displays your mailboxes, folders and messages. The “Local”  
folders (on the left) are stored on your netBook, so you can  
create and view messages in these folders when you aren’t  
connected.  
You can use the Email program to send and receive:  
•
•
•
Email (electronic mail) messages.  
Fax messages.  
SMS (Short Message Service) messages, i.e. text messages

CALC  
Calc is the calculator program. It is split into two views: Desk  
and Scientific. The two calculators are distinct, so you can carry  
out two calculations at the same time without them affecting  
each other.  
When you first use Calc, it displays the Desk calculator. Use the  
Desk and Sci buttons to move between the views, or select the  
view you want from the View menu.  
Note: You may find the display suits your style of working better  
when it is “flipped”, i.e. when the left and right sides of the  
screen are swapped over. Just tap Flip layout, or use the  
command on the View menu.  
•
The Desk view is a desktop calculator which produces a “till  
roll” output. Use this calculator for general arithmetical  
calculations, and those involving percentages.  
•
The Scientific view is a scientific calculator with 26  
memories. Use this for more advanced calculations,  
including those that involve trigonometry or logarithms.

Using the memory  
General calculations  
You can use the memory to store a value that you want to re-  
use, or to act as a “running total”. The Memory commands can  
be accessed from the Memories button on the Toolbar or the  
command on the Tools menu.  
To perform a calculation in the Desk calculator:  
1. Enter your calculation using the number and operator  
buttons (+, -, × and ÷) on screen or the keyboard. There  
is no operator precedence in the Desk view: all calculations  
are performed as you type them in. So, 10+5×3=45, not  
25.  
•
To store a number in the memory: tap Min or select the  
Save in command while the number you want to store is in  
the calculation line. An ‘M’ will appear in the calculator  
display while there is a value stored in the memory.  
2. Tap = or press Enter to get the result.  
•
•
Use +/- or the m key to change the sign of a number.  
Tap the Shortcuts button in the Toolbar to display a list of  
shortcut keypresses.

command.  
To add the current number to the number in the  
memory: tap M+ or select the Add to command.  
To subtract the current number from the number in  
the memory: tap M- or select the Subtract from  
command.  
•
•
To clear the calculation line without ending the current  
calculation, press C.  
To clear the calculation line and end the current calculation,  
tap AC or press Esc.  
The till roll keeps a record of your calculations so that you can  
refer back to work you did earlier. The till roll scrollbar will  
appear when the calculations cover more than one page. To  
move around the till roll, use the scrollbar or the arrow keys. To  
clear the till roll, tap the Clear tillroll button on the Toolbar or  
use the command on the Tools menu.

Operator precedence in the Scientific view is as follows  
(highest first):  
•
•
•
•
•
Information in brackets.  
Functions which follow the value to which they refer, e.g. x!  
Powers.  
Implicit multiplication before a memory value, i.e. 30A.

Re-using answers and calculations  
Using the memories  
In the Scientific view you can re-use the answer from your last  
calculation.  
The Scientific calculator has 26 memories, labelled A through to  
Z. You can assign a value to each of these memories, and then  
incorporate the names into expressions.  
•
To insert the last answer at any point in a calculation:  
tap the Ans button at the appropriate point. The calculator  
will insert ‘Ans’ in the calculation line, representing the last  
result.  
To assign a value to a memory:  
1. Enter the number to be stored. If the calculation line is  
displaying an unsolved expression, the stored value will be  
the RESULT of the expression.  
•
To start a new expression with the last answer: just  
enter the rest of the expression as though the answer was  
already written at the start. The calculator will prefix the  
expression with ‘Ans’.  
2. Tap –>, or select Assign to from the Memories button on  
the Toolbar or the command on the Tools menu.  
3. Type the memory name. As memory names must be  
entered as a capital letter, you will probably need to hold  
down the shift key and type the letter key for the memory  
name.  
You can also re-use and edit calculations you have performed  
earlier. This can save time if you want to perform a new  
calculation which differs only slightly from a previous one.  
•
To re-use a previous expression: use the up and down  
keys, or the Edit previous and Edit next commands on  
the Edit menu, to display the last 10 calculations one by one  
on the calculation line. When you find the expression you  
want to re-use, change it if required and proceed as normal.  
Note: You can also assign a value to a memory by tapping the  
Mem button, highlighting the memory to use and then tapping  
the Assign to button in the dialog.  
•
To display the contents of the memories: tap the Mem  
button, or select Show all from the Memories commands  
on the Tools menu.  
Note: The value of Ans used in a calculation will always be the  
value of the last calculation. If you re-use a calculation based on a  
value of Ans, the result will be calculated using the current value  
of Ans rather than the value at the time of the original  
calculation.  
•
To use a stored number in a calculation: type the capital  
letter corresponding to the memory at the appropriate  
point in the calculation. Alternatively, tap the Mem button  
to display the list of memories, highlight the memory you  
want and tap Select.  
Note: You can assign values to the memories in any order you  
like, so use the names as a reminder of the information they  
contain. For example, use the T memory for a rate of taxation, Y  
for the rate of exchange into yen and so on.

Factorials  
Displaying numbers  
The x! button in the Scientific view calculates the factorial of a  
number. A factorial is the result of multiplying all the numbers  
from a given starting number down to one. So, the factorial of 4  
(written as 4!) is 4×3×2×1=24.  
The Scientific calculator can display numbers in the following  
formats:  
•
Normal: this is adequate for most calculations. Numbers are  
displayed in standard notation to 12 significant figures, with  
decimal places and an exponent as required.  
Note: You can use factorials to find the number of ways things  
can be arranged. For example, if you want to find possible  
anagrams of a word with four letters, 4! shows that there are 24  
ways these letters can be arranged.  
•
•
Fixed: this format always displays results with a specified  
number of decimal places, e.g. for currency calculations.  
Scientific: you may find this useful for dealing with very large  
or very small numbers. Numbers are displayed as a single  
digit to the left of the decimal point, a specified number of  
significant figures, and then an exponent.  
•
To find the factorial of a number: enter the number of  
which you want to find the factorial. Tap x! and tap =.  
Logarithms  
To change the number format: select the command from the  
Tools menu. If you choose Fixed or Scientific, you can set the  
number of decimal places or significant figures to be displayed.  
You can use the Scientific calculator to calculate logs and natural  
logs.  
•
•
•
To calculate the log (base 10) of a number: tap log,  
then enter the number. Press =.  
To calculate the natural log (base e) of a number: tap  
ln, then enter the number. Press =.  
To calculate e to a given power: tap ex, then enter the  
value you want to find e to the power of. Press =.  
Exponent notation  
You can express very large and very small numbers more  
succinctly using positive and negative exponents. For example,  
57 200 000 can be expressed as 5.72E7.  
To express a number as an exponent:  
1. Enter the first part of the number, normally as a decimal  
fraction.  
2. Tap exp. An ‘E’ will appear on the calculation line. To  
express a very small number, tap +/- to insert a minus sign  
before the second number.  
3. Enter the number of decimal places that the first number  
needs to be moved to the left.

Using alarms  
TIME  
You can use the Alarms view to set alarms that will ring even  
when your netBook is switched off, e.g. a ‘repeating’ wake-up  
alarm that will ring each day you work, and ‘once only’ alarms to  
remind you of appointments.  
You can use the Time program to set, display and manage  
alarms, and to display a map of the world that gives you  
information on cities, times and dialling codes.

word, arranged in a different order. For example, anagram  
suggestions for ‘angle’ could include ‘glean’, ‘angel’, ‘lane’ and  
‘age’.  
Using the thesaurus  
You can use the thesaurus to search for synonyms, i.e. words  
which have the same or a similar meaning to a word you enter.  
•

words in order of size, starting with the longest words it can  
find. If Spell doesn’t find any anagrams, it displays a message to  
tell you that no solutions were found.  
If there are suitable words, Spell lists them as they are found.  
Spell divides the synonyms into categories, each category relating  
to a different meaning of the entered word, with the main  
suggestions in bold. The words are separated into groups, e.g.  
adjectives, nouns, verbs etc.  
You can select any word from the list of suggestions to look up  
again. To do this, either tap on a word to highlight it, and then  
tap again to select it, or use the arrow keys to highlight the word  
and press Enter. You can also select a word from the list, then  
use one of the Toolbar buttons straight away.

BOMBS- THE NETBOOK GAME  
Bombs is a game of speed and logical thinking. The object of the  
game is to discover and mark the position of all the concealed  
“bombs” in a grid of squares as quickly as possible, without  
accidentally uncovering any of the bombs.  
You can select between easy, medium and hard skill levels, and 5  
different grid sizes, using the Skill level button on the Toolbar.  
The harder the skill level, the more bombs are hidden in the grid.  
You can set the number of bombs by selecting the Custom skill  
level.

How to play  
Scoring  
You can test a square by “stepping” on it. To do so:  
Your score for the game is the time it takes to reveal all the  
bombs. The top two scores for each level, together with the  
name of the player, are kept in the Best times list.  
•
Highlight a square by tapping on it or by moving to it with  
the arrow keys. Then, to “step” on the square, tap on it  
again or press the Spacebar.  
If you step on a square containing a bomb, you lose and the game  
is over. If there isn’t a bomb under the square, stepping on it will  
reveal the number of bombs in the 8 adjacent squares. If you  
uncover a blank, the surrounding eight squares are revealed  
automatically because there cannot be any bombs under them.  
If you suspect that a square conceals a bomb, mark it with a flag.  
To do so:  
•
Hold down the Shift key and tap on the square, or highlight  
the square then tap on the Flags counter or press Enter.  
Remove a flag in the same way.  
If you know that all the bombs surrounding a numbered square  
have been marked with a flag, select the square and tap on it or  
press the Spacebar to uncover all the surrounding squares.

Getting connected  
Connecting the cable  
As your netBook can communicate with various devices, you  
need to make sure that the communications link setting on your  
netBook is set correctly to communicate with your PC using  
PsiWin.  
Note: If you have difficulty connecting the cable to your  
netBook, you may be attempting to insert the connector upside  
down. You should not have to apply force when inserting the  
connector into the port on your netBook.  
•
Move to the System screen. Select link to desktop from  
the Tools menu and select the cable setting.  
Further help: See the on-line Help for more details on how to  
connect your PC and netBook, and troubleshooting information  
to help you solve any problems.  
The cable is used by your netBook and PC to communicate. To  
connect the cable:  
If you have a docking station, you can connect your cable to it.  
Connection is made each time you place your netBook in it.

How to copy a file  
Using Windows Explorer, you can copy files between your PC  
and netBook in the same way you would copy files to a floppy  
disk, or another PC on a network. PsiWin can convert files as  
they are copied so that you can open them on the other  
computer straight away.  
5. As PsiWin copies the file, a dialog box appears in which you  
can select the type of file you wish to use on the other  
computer.  
1. Select Programs  
Windows Explorer from the Start  
menu to open Windows Explorer.  
2. Double-click on My Psion to display your netBook’s  
internal drive(s). Double-click on a drive icon to display it’s  
contents, then browse for the file you wish to copy.

e.g. Excel 5.0/95 for a Psion Sheet file, or Word 6.0/95 for  
a Psion Word file. Select an alternative type if you use a  
different file type on your PC.  
and select Edit Paste from the Menubar.  
Tip: You can also copy  
the file by clicking on  
the file icon and  
dragging it to the folder  
on your PC.

stored on your netBook in the same way as you can on your  
PC’s drives.  
Warning: When you delete a file on your netBook from your PC  
it is permanently removed from the netBook’s drive. The file  
cannot be retrieved from the Windows Recycle Bin, which only  
stores files deleted from your PC’s drives.

Opening Psion files from your PC  
Backing up your netBook  
You can open a file on your netBook using a PC application  
without first having to copy it to your PC drive. You can edit the  
file on your PC and then save it back to your netBook when you  
have finished.  
Performing your first backup  
You can use PsiWin to back up all the files stored on your  
netBook to your PC. Keeping backups of your netBook files on  
your PC means that you have a separate copy of all your work  
which can be restored to your netBook. For example, you can  
restore backed up files to your netBook if you accidentally delete  
a file, wish to revert back to an older version of a file, or need to  
restore files if you forget to change the batteries.  
1. To open a file from Windows Explorer, double-click on the  
file icon or press Enter. A dialog box appears in which you  
can select the type of file you wish to use on your PC.  
2. Select the file type suitable for the application you will use  
to edit the file on your PC.  
To make a backup:  
3. Click on the Convert button to copy the file and convert it  
to the chosen PC file type. PsiWin opens the converted file  
using the PC application associated with the file type, e.g.  
Paint for a Bitmap Image (*.bmp) file, or Notepad for a  
Text (*.txt) file.  
When you save the file within the PC application, PsiWin saves  
the edited file back to your netBook. A dialog box appears which  
allows you to select the file type for the edited file. Select the  
appropriate file type for your netBook, and then select Convert  
to copy the file back to your netBook. PsiWin makes a backup  
copy of the original file which is renamed with a ‘.bak’ suffix, e.g.  
a file named ‘Document’ is backed up as ‘Document.bak’.  
1. Double-click on the Psion Backup icon on the Desktop.  
2. In the Psion Backup dialog, select the drive(s) on your  
netBook you wish to back up.  
3. Click Back Up to start backing up the files on your  
netBook. PsiWin displays a progress window showing how  
long the backup will take and will inform you when it has  
completed.  
Further help: See the on-line Help for more information on how  
to back up and restore your Psion files.  
Tip: Don’t delete the backup version of the file from your netBook until  
you are sure you want to use the edited version instead.

to open Psion files on your PC.

Scheduling regular backups  
Synchronizing your netBook  
You can set PsiWin to make automatic backups at regular  
intervals so you do not need to remember to back up your  
netBook. It is a good idea to schedule automatic backups  
because it means you will always have up to date copies of your  
netBook’s files. To do this:  
What is synchronization?  
You can use synchronization to manage information which you  
wish to keep up to date on both your PC and netBook, such as  
agenda appointments or an address book. When you  
synchronize, PsiWin checks the information in your PC scheduler  
with the matching Agenda or Data file on your netBook, and  
then updates the files on both your PC and netBook to include  
the new information. Some examples of synchronization are:  
1. Right-click on My Psion and select Properties.  
2. Move to the Backup tab.  
3. Click on Perform automatic backup and select how often  
you wish to backup your netBook.  
Further help: See the on-line Help for more information on how  
to schedule regular automatic backups.  
•
if you add a new appointment in your netBook Agenda, the  
date, time and notes for the entry will be copied to your PC  
scheduler.  
•
•
if you change a phone number in your PC scheduler, it will  
be amended in your netBook’s address book.  
if you enter overlapping appointments in your PC and  
netBook agendas, PsiWin will warn you of the conflict.  
Many people will just use one synchronization task to keep their  
netBook information in step with their PC information.  
Synchronization tasks can be used in a number of other ways, for  
example:  
•
You and other colleagues could synchronize their work  
Agendas with the same master scheduler on a networked  
PC.  
•
You may have a work Agenda synchronizing with a network  
installation of Organizer at the office, and a personal Agenda  
synchronizing with Schedule+ on your PC at home.  
Further help: See the on-line Help for more information on how  
to synchronize your netBook with a PC scheduler.

Dialling  
183  
You can dial a number as follows:  
DIALLING  
•
If the number is included in a Contacts entry, select the  
entry and tap the Dial button on the Toolbar.  
The netBook can generate the “DTMF” tones used for dialling  
telephone numbers. You can only use dialling from within the  
Contacts program, Agenda and Data.  
•
If the number is already entered as part of a Contacts, Data  
or Agenda entry, you can just select the entry and use the  
Dial keypress (Fn+Menu). The netBook will find the  
numbers in the entry so that you can select which number  
to dial.  
Note: Phone systems do vary. DTMF dialling cannot be  
guaranteed to work with all types of phone.  
•
If the number is not already entered as part of a Contacts,  
Data or Agenda entry, you can use “free input” dialling where  
the netBook will dial the number as you type it.  
Phone numbers  
in Contacts entry  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Setting up  
Entering phone numbers  
You can use free input dialling straight away, though you should  
remember to add any dial-out code (this is often a ‘9’) required  
to obtain an outside line if you are calling from a building that has  
a private exchange.  
You can enter a telephone number to dial in a Contacts, Data or  
Agenda entry.  
In Data, you can set whether a label is checked when the  
netBook looks for telephone numbers to dial.  
If you have already entered a telephone number in Contacts,  
Data or Agenda, you can set up the netBook to include the dial-  
out code only when you need to. You can also set up the  
netBook so that the correct international prefixes and area codes  
are used when dialling.  
To include a label in the search: select the Change labels  
command from the Tools menu, select the label and press the  
Edit button. Then, press the Options button and tick the box to  
make sure that the label is searched when dialling. You can  
remove the tick if you do not want to search a particular label,  
perhaps if it contains other numerical information.  
To do this:  
1. In the System Screen, tap on the Control panel button on  
the Toolbar or select the command from the Tools menu,  
and select the Dialling icon.  
2. Tap the Country button and set the ‘Country’ to the  
country where you would normally dial non-international  
numbers, i.e. your country of residence. If you go abroad,  
change the ‘Home city’ but leave the ‘Country’ set as usual.  
The netBook will then be able to use the correct codes to  
dial numbers.  
Note: If it appears that the netBook does not find a telephone  
number you have entered in a Data entry, it may be that the label  
is not being searched. Follow the instructions above to ensure  
that the label is included in the search.  
Note: You can enter a telephone number anywhere in an Agenda  
entry, but try to avoid mixing telephone numbers and other  
numbers in the same entry.  
For numbers in your own country, you should include the  
required area code in the telephone number. For international  
numbers, you should include the international prefix (or use a +  
instead) and the required national code. If you don’t know the  
national code for a particular country, you can look it up in the  
Time program. You can use numerous other characters (e.g.  
brackets or a hyphen) to separate parts of the number. Do not  
use a comma as this represents a pause when dialling.  
3. If you want to be able to dial out from an internal telephone  
exchange, e.g. from your office, enter the number you have  
to dial to get an outside line as a ‘Dial out code’. If the  
internal telephone system requires a pause after the dial out  
code, add a comma after the number, and set the required  
pause time that will be used for each comma that you enter.

Recording your own alarms  
You can use the Record program to create alarm sounds which  
can be used in Time and Agenda.  
CUSTOMISING YOUR NETBOOK  
This chapter includes some ideas for customising the netBook.  
Note: You can customise the way many programs work using the  
Preferences commands on the program’s Tools menu.  
•
To save a recording for use as an alarm sound: select  
the Save as alarm button on the Toolbar or the command  
from the File menu and type a name for the alarm sound.  
This creates another version of the sound as an alarm, and  
leaves the original file open in Record.  
Creating your own wallpaper  
You can change the “wallpaper” that appears in the background  
on the System screen. You can use any picture that you draw or  
import into Sketch.  
•
To delete a custom alarm sound: select the Delete  
alarm sound command from the File menu, and select the  
alarm to delete from the list. You cannot delete or modify  
the built-in netBook alarm sounds.  
To create wallpaper:  
1. Display the picture in Sketch. If you only want to use part of  
a picture, select the area.  
2. Select Save as System wallpaper from the More  
Customising the System screen  
commands on the File menu.  
You can use the commands on the View menu to change how  
the System screen looks and works:  
3. Type a name for the wallpaper file. Sketch keeps the files  
that contain wallpaper separate from the original Sketch files  
so you can carry on using your original picture without  
affecting the wallpaper.  
•
change the position of the Title by selecting Title position,  
and the width of the columns by selecting Column width.  
•
use Zoom in and Zoom out to change the size of text and  
icons on screen so that more or fewer files and folders are  
displayed.  
•
To select wallpaper: move to the System screen and select  
Preferences from the Tools menu, then select the name of  
the wallpaper file that you want to display.  
•
•
turn the Toolbar off and on with Show toolbar; without  
the Toolbar you can see more of the System screen.  
•
To delete a file containing wallpaper: move to Sketch  
and select Delete System wallpaper from the More  
commands on the File menu. Select the wallpaper that you  
want to remove. You cannot delete the built-in wallpaper  
included with the netBook.  
control how the files are sorted, and what file information is  
displayed with Sort files and Show file details. When you  
first use the netBook, files are grouped ‘by type’ (i.e.  
according to program); you can change this to sort them by  
date, name or size.  
You can customise many of the ways that the netBook works  
from the System screen using the Preferences command and  
the icons in the Control panel. For example, you might want to  
change the automatic switch off setting, owner information, the

standard printer and print preview settings, and set up a  
password to protect your files from prying eyes.  
The System screen preferences allow you to display “hidden”  
files and the “System” folder in the System screen, change the  
standard folder for files, and change the keypress for opening  
multiple files.  
You can customise the positions of icons on the Extras bar, e.g.  
so that the icons for your favourite programs appear in particular  
positions. To display a dialog where you can set this, press the  
Enter key when the Extras bar is displayed, or tap the word  
“Extras” on the left of the Extras bar.  
Caution:  
The “System” folder contains files that are used by the netBook  
programs themselves. You should not normally need to access  
these files, which is why this folder is not shown as standard. Do  
not delete or modify files in this folder, or create new files in  
this folder, otherwise you may have problems using the  
netBook programs.  
You can also allocate the programs in the Extras bar to the User  
definable icons on the left hand side of the screen so that they  
can be launched with one tap of the pen.  
Note: When a program is allocated to one of the User App  
buttons, it will no longer appear on the Extras bar.

RAM cards  
Your netBook is fitted with 32MB of RAM. This can be expanded  
to 64MB by adding a further 32MB RAM card.  
The memory cards and circuitry under the memory card doors  
are susceptible to damage by Electro-Static Discharge (ESD).  
Memory upgrades should be trusted to an authorised service  
agent.  
Note: As this upgrade will require all power to be removed, it is  
important to back up your data first.

Docking Station  
The docking station allows faster and more convenient  
connection of the mains adapter and docking cable.  
Now, each time you return to your desk, you can place your  
netBook onto the docking station to start charging the battery  
and connect to your PC. (Start PsiWin as described in the PsiWin  
section of this Guide).  
1. Connect your mains adapter to the socket marked DC at  
the rear of the docking station.  
To remove the netBook from the docking station, press the eject  
pad in the centre to lift it clear of the connector.  
2. Plug the mains adapter into your power outlet and switch  
on.  
For additional information, refer to  
\extras\support\netBook\hardware.pdf on the CD.  
3. Connect the small connector of your docking cable to the  
socket marked RS232 at the rear of the docking station.

CARE & SAFETY  
When used according to the instructions in this manual, the  
netBook should remain in good working order for many years.  
However, there are certain precautions you should take to  
ensure continued trouble-free use:  
•
Do keep the netBook at a room temperature of 0°C to  
+40°C (+32°F to +104°F) and avoid sudden extremes in  
temperature, exposure to direct sunlight or rain, heat  
sources (electric heaters, etc.), dust, sand, and other fine  
particles.  
•
Do not tap the screen with any object that has a sharp tip  
or you may damage the screen. Don’t use any type of ink  
pen, as the ink may be impossible to remove. When not in  
use, keep the pen supplied with the netBook in its storage  
compartment.  
•
Do keep the netBook away from strong magnetic fields (e.g.  
loudspeakers) and sources of static electricity.  
Use only the Psion-approved mains adaptor.  
•
•
•
Do not immerse the netBook in water, or any other liquid,  
or spill liquids onto it.  
Do not drop, throw, or try to bend the netBook, or press  
the keys with extreme force.  
Do not keep the netBook next to credit cards or transport  
tickets; the speaker magnet could corrupt the information  
on the magnetic strip.  
Do not attempt to dismantle the netBook. There are no  
user-serviceable parts inside and any attempt to do so will  
render the warranty void.  
Do not remove the main batteries and backup battery at  
the same time when replacing them; you will lose all your  
information if you do this.  
•
•
If you will not be using the netBook for a while, store it in a  
place that is dry, free from damp, dust and extremes of heat  
and cold.  
Do back up regularly. You can use PsiWin to back up your  
netBook to your PC, or you can make backups on a  
Memory disk. See the ‘Security & backups’ chapter for more  
information.  
To clean the screen: switch the netBook off and use a soft,  
clean, dry cloth to gently wipe the keyboard and screen.  
Under no circumstances use water or chemical  
solvents that may have a corrosive effect. (If the  
netBook is set to turn on automatically when you open the  
case or tap the screen, you should turn this preference off  
before cleaning the screen; see ‘Turning on & off’ for more  
information.)

Powering the netBook  
•
Your netBook is powered by a powerful Lithium Ion battery  
pack which under normal operating conditions will provide  
power for 8½ hours use. (See Prolonging battery life).  
•
Backup power is provided by a lithium coin cell. This  
provides power when the main battery pack is being changed  
and will only provide a few days backup.  
•
The netBook can be powered from the mains adaptor.  
When the netBook is powered this way, it will also charge  
the battery pack. The netBook should be connected to the  
mains adaptor as soon as you start getting the low battery  
message.  
Backup Batteries recommended by Psion:  
Duracell DL2032, Hitachi Maxell CR2032, Panasonic CR2032, Sony  
CR2032, Ultralife CR2032, Varta CR2032.  
How do I check the battery power?  
•
•
If you have a docking station, this is a convenient way to  
connect to the mains adapter to charge the batteries.  
To check the battery power, move to the System screen and select  
Battery from the Information menu.  
If using your netBook for extended periods when you are  
unable to use mains power, it’s best to keep two battery  
packs. Contact your Psion distributor for details.

The netBook will warn you when the main battery charge is low  
or if the backup battery needs replacing. The backup battery  
compartment is designed to be “child-proof”; you will need to  
use the pen to remove the backup battery, as shown.  
Changing the batteries  
If you are using your netBook away from the charger for more  
than 8 hours continuous use, and have a spare battery pack, you  
can change it when the battery warning is displayed.  
•
If both the main and backup batteries are low, replace the  
backup battery first. If the main batteries are so low that  
you cannot turn the netBook on connect the netBook to  
mains power using the mains adaptor before changing the  
backup battery.  
To do this:  
1. Ensure that the backup battery is fitted and in good  
condition.  
2. Switch the netBook off.  
3. Slide the battery door backwards and withdraw the

inserting them.  
•
•
•
Turn off the remote link when not in use.  
Set Auto switch-off.  
•
Don’t store batteries at temperatures in excess of +60°C;  
the optimum storage temperature for maximum battery life  
is +10°C to +35°C.  
Don’t dispose of batteries in a fire - there is a danger of  
explosion.  
Don’t crush, puncture, open, dismantle, or otherwise  
mechanically interfere with batteries.  
If a battery should leak, do not allow the contents to come  
into contact with your skin or your eyes. If it does, wash  
immediately with plenty of cold water and seek medical  
advice.  
If a battery has been accidentally swallowed, it is  
ESSENTIAL that medical assistance is sought  
IMMEDIATELY. If the small backup battery has been  
swallowed, advise the medical person that a LITHIUM  
battery is involved.  
Use Data and Agenda files on the Internal disk (C) instead of  
a Memory disk (D), as the netBook requires more power to  
write to the Memory disk.  
•
•
•
When your netBook is switched off, it is on “standby” and will  
continue to use a small amount of battery power. If you are going  
to leave your netBook switched off for a long period of time, you  
are advised to back up your data beforehand as the batteries will  
eventually run out.  
How long your batteries last will depend upon how you use your  
netBook. Your netBook will use considerably more battery  
power when you are recording sounds, have the brightness  
turned up, are using files stored on a Memory disk, or are using  
Infrared.  
•
Note: To check the battery power, move to the System screen  
and select Battery from the Information menu.  
Caution:  
There is a danger of explosion if the backup battery is incorrectly  
replaced. Replace battery only with the same or equivalent type  
recommended by Psion. Dispose of used batteries according to the  
manufacturer’s instructions.

Security & backups  
197  
Backing up to Memory Disks  
You can back up individual files, individual folders or groups of  
files and folders to a Memory Disk. To back up the files and  
folders, copy them from the internal disk to a Memory Disk using  
the Copy and Paste commands in the system screen.  
SECURITY & BACKUPS  
There are no known problems with passing the netBook through  
airport security machines and other X-rays.  
There are several things that you can do to secure your files  
against other hazards. You can make your files “read-only” to  
avoid accidental deletion; back up your files regularly in case they  
get lost; set passwords to protect information from prying eyes  
and enter contact information so that your netBook can be  
returned to you if you lose it.  
1. Select the files and folders you want to back up, then select  
the Copy command from the Edit menu.  
2. Set the current disk to be D (i.e. the Memory disk), and  
select the folder you want to use for the backup on disk D.  
3. Select the Paste command from the Edit menu.  
Note: It isn’t possible for anyone to copy information from or to  
your machine using Infrared, unless they are able to access its  
Infrared ‘Send’ and ‘Receive’ commands.  
Restoring files from a backup  
To restore the files and folders on a Memory Disk to your  
netBook, copy them from the Memory Disk to the Internal disk  
in the same way as backing up. This time, set the current disk to  
D to select the files on the Memory disk, then change it to C to  
paste the copied files to the Internal disk.  
Backing up to a PC  
You can use PsiWin to back up individual files or folders, the  
netBook’s entire Internal disk, or files on Memory disks to the PC.  
See the PsiWin on-line help for details.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
You should read this chapter if you have any questions or  
experience problems using your netBook.  
If an alarm doesn’t ring  
If world times don’t seem to be correct in the Time program  
This is likely to be because of “daylight saving” or “summer time”  
settings (where clocks are put forward for the summer months).  
If the alarm sounds like beeps, your battery is too low to play the  
alarm sound you have chosen.  
The dates that clocks are set to change vary from country to  
country, and sometimes even within a country; some countries  
do not use summer times at all. Therefore, the netBook clock  
will not change automatically on the date that the clocks change.  
You will need to make sure that each zone is set to use its  
“summer time” setting when the clocks change in those  
countries. See the ‘Time’ chapter for more details.  
It may also be that the ‘Sound’ is off so that the alarm screen is  
displayed but the sound is inaudible. The alarm screen will  
indicate if the sound is off or silenced for a particular period. Use  
the Sound icon from the Control panel in the System screen to  
switch the sound back on again.  
If an alarm is due to ring while you are recording another sound,  
the alarm will be postponed until you have finished your  
recording.

If a file appears to have “vanished”  
If the netBook doesn’t seem to turn on/turn off  
When you tap on a program icon, the netBook will open the  
program with the file that you last used. If you only use one  
Agenda file, for example, this will always be displayed when you  
tap the Agenda icon.  
If the netBook doesn’t seem to turn on:  
•
•
Check the screen contrast to make sure it isn’t set too low.  
Recharge the battery. If you continue to use the netBook  
when the main battery is low, it will eventually not have  
enough power and will switch off. You will not be able to  
switch it on again until you connect the mains adapter and  
recharge the battery.  
However, if you move or rename your file, the netBook will not  
be able to find this “last used” file when you tap the program  
icon. So, it looks for a file with a standard filename (e.g. Word,  
Agenda, Sheet etc.) and displays this file instead. If there is no file  
with this name in the standard folder, a new file is created.  
If the netBook doesn’t seem to turn off:  
•
Check the automatic switch off time using the Switch on/  
off icon from the Control panel in the System screen.  
You can re-open the original file from its new location using the  
Open file command on the File menu.  
Note: If you use OPL, note that a running OPL program can  
prevent automatic switch off if it neither pauses nor waits for a  
keypress.  
If you forget your password  
If you forget a password set for a Word or Sheet file, you will not  
be able to open the file again until you remember the correct  
password.  
If numbers appear on the screen when typing letters  
If could be that the Numlock function has been set.  
To toggle this, press Shift + Menu.  
If you forget the password set for the whole machine, you will  
not be able to use the netBook until you perform a “hard reset”.  
All the files on the Internal disk will be lost and cannot be  
retrieved.  
See ‘How do I reset the netBook’ for more information.

•
To perform a soft reset: gently press something like an  
unfolded paperclip into the reset hole, above the backup  
battery location.  
How do I reset the netBook?  
If you find that you cannot exit a program normally, move to the  
System screen and select the List open files command from the  
File menu. Select the program from the list and press the Close  
file button.  
After a soft reset, any changes to open Word or Sheet files (or  
OPL programs) will be lost. Your other files on the Internal disk  
will almost always be safe.  
If this does not work, or if your netBook appears to have “locked  
up”, you can always perform a “soft reset”. This should restart  
your netBook while preserving most of your information.  
It is possible (although unlikely) that a program failure causes the  
reset to lose the information on the Internal disk; it could even  
prevent the reset from working at all. If this happens, you will  
have to perform a “hard reset”.  
It is worth trying a soft reset if the keys on the netBook do not  
appear to respond, or if the netBook does appear to switch on  
and you are sure the batteries are good (especially if the contrast  
adjustment still appears to work), but the screen is otherwise  
blank.  
•
To perform a hard reset: remove all power sources, ie  
the mains adapter and the main and backup batteries.  
Important: A hard reset resets the netBook completely, and all  
information on the Internal disk will be lost.

If you can’t connect your cable  
If you are having difficulty connecting the cable to your  
netBook, you may be attempting to insert the connector  
upside down. Make sure that the “RS232” motif is facing up  
when you insert the connector. You should not have to apply  
force when inserting the connector into the port on your  
netBook.
