•
•
Write neatly.
Write on the line and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of
the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused
with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools menu.
Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so
that the device can easily tell where the words begin and end.
Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as
accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
If you add writing to a word to change it after the word has been
recognized, the writing that you added will be included when you try to
recognize the writing again.

ASUS utilities
Besides the Microsoft program that allows you to back up data, your
device also includes proprietary ASUS utilities. The ASUS utilities allow
you to backup or restore data, and adjust settings to customize your
device and maximize its use.
ASUS SmartKeeper
The ASUS SmartKeeper is an automatic backup feature that prompts you
to backup the current system status in a CF memory card whenever the
remaining battery power reaches a certain level. With the automatic
option, the backup process is done whether the device is ON or OFF as
long as a CF memory card is present in the slot.
Requirements for automatic backup

To enable automatic backup:
1. Tap
, then tap Settings.
2. Tap the System tab on the bottom of
the Settings screen.
3. Tap the SmartKeeper icon then the
Automatic tab.
Learn the basics
2-23
4. In the Automatic screen, check the
Automatic system backup box to
enable automatic backup. This box is
checked by default.
When SmartKeeper is set to
Automatic, make sure that a CF
memory card (64MB free space
recommended) is present in the CF
card slot.
5. Tap OK.
NOTE
To verify if the CF memory card is usable for system backup,
perform a Manual backup first. See the section “To use
manual backup” on page 2-27.
How the SmartKeeper automatic backup works
SmartKeeper is capable of performing the automatic backup process
whether your device is in use (ON) or in suspension (OFF).
When the device is ON
If a low battery status occurs while you are using the device, this message
appears, “Battery low! Back up the current system status?”
Backing up the “current system status” means that the entire
system and all the data in the system main memory are saved as
is to the ASUSBKUP.SAV file. For example, you are editing an
Excel file when a battery low status occurs and you confirmed to
back up. When you restore the system status from the
ASUSBKUP.SAV file, you will see exactly the same screen,
settings, and system configuration as earlier backed up.
2-24
Chapter 2
To back up the current system status:
1. When prompted, tap the Yes
button on the screen message
window to start the backup
process.
a. If you set Flash Disk as your
storage device, SmartKeeper
saves your current system
status to the file
ASUSBKUP.SAV in the Flash
Disk. This is a 32MB storage
space in the device Flash
ROM.
NOTE
Flash Disk is the
default setting.
b. If you set CF Card as storage
device, the backup file is
saved in the CF card. Make
sure that a CF memory card is
present in the slot. If you tap
Yes without the CF memory
card, an error message
appears.
Tap No if you do not wish to
back up the system status at
this time.
2. A confirmation message appears
when the backup process is
complete.
Learn the basics
2-25
When the device is OFF
When a low battery status occurs while the device is in standby or OFF,
SmartKeeper wakes up the system to back up the system status.
•
•
If you selected Flash Disk as your storage device, SmartKeeper
automatically backs up the system status to ASUSBKUP.SAV file in the
Flash Disk.
If you selected CF Card as your storage device:
1. SmartKeeper checks if a CF memory card is ready in the slot.
2. If found, SmartKeeper backs up the current system status to
ASUSBKUP.SAV file in the CF memory card. When the backup
process is complete, the system automatically goes back to sleep
(OFF).
If a CF memory card is not ready in the slot, the device goes back
to sleep without performing the backup process.
When you turn on the device, either one of the following messages is
flashed on the screen.
The system detected a battery
power low status. The system
status was automatically backed
up to ASUSBKUP.SAV file in the
