To remove it, slide the stylus out of thetopofthenetpad.Toreplaceit,pushitbackin.Tap lightly on the screen using the stylus. It’s OK to use your fingers to tap on thescreen, though it is best to use the stylus to avoid fingerprints or smudges on thescreen. Do not tap the screen with any object that has a sharp tip or you may damagethe screen. Don’t use any type of ink pen, as the ink may be impossible to remove.See “Caring For The netpad” on page 7 for instructions on how to clean the screen.You can usually tap on an item with the stylus to select or change it. For example,you can tap on:• the program icons, to open a program.• the command icons, for “shortcuts” to System functions, e.g. the menu bar,cutting and pasting, Infrared, zooming in and out.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.
Chapter 2: Getting StartedThe Screen, Command Icons And Toolbar24 Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual2.5 The Screen, Command Icons And ToolbarThe netpad has a column of permanent “command icons” on the right-hand side.From top to bottom these are:Menu:Displays the menus for the current program. Menus are displayedalong the top of the screen.Contrast and brightness control:Tap the icon repeatedly to cycle through the default brightness levels.Zoom control:Tap the icon repeatedly to cycle through the zoom settings. The zoomsettings depend on the application you are in and are stored indepen-dently for each application.Keyboard:Displays the Psiboard, the on-screen keyboard.System command icon:When you are in a program, the System command icon displays theSystem screen. From the System screen, tapping the icon displays theProgram bar containing the icons for the programs installed on yournetpad.When you are in a program, the program’s Toolbar is usually displayed to the left ofthe command icons. This Toolbar contains four icons with the name of the programabove them. Tapping on the name displays the list of open files and folders. Belowthe name are four icons that vary from program to program and are the most com-monly used functions for each program.Important: Battery life is considerably reduced when the brightnessis increased.
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual 25Chapter 2: Getting StartedHow To Reset The netpad2.6 How To Reset The netpad If you find that you cannot exit a program normally, move to the System screen andselect the List open files command from the File menu. Select the program from thelist and press the Close file button.If this does not work, or if your netpad appears to have “locked up”, you can alwaysperform a “soft reset”. This should restart your netpad while preserving most ofyour information.It is worth trying a soft reset if the keys on the netpad do not appear to respond,or if the netpad appears to switch on and you are sure that the batteries are good(especially if the contrast adjustment still appears to work), but the screen is other-wise blank.To perform a soft reset:gently press the stylus onto the reset button. This is located inside the MMCdoor cover to the side of the MMC slot.After a soft reset, any changes to open files (such as Word or Sheet files) will be lost.Your other files on the Internal disk will almost always be safe.It is possible (although unlikely) that a program failure causes the reset to lose theinformation 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”.To perform a hard reset:1. Remove the netpad from the docking station.2. Remove the main battery.3. Press and hold down the On/Off button (on the top of the unit).Card Slot Door LatchMMC CardResetButton

Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual 45Chapter 4: Using InfraredIntroduction4.1 IntroductionThe netpad has Infrared built in, allowing you to transfer selected information toanother netpad or other Psion Teklogix device without the use of a cable.You can also use Infrared to print directly to printers that support Infrared - see“Printing Using Infrared” on page 146 for more details.4.2 Selecting Data To Transfer On the machine from which information is to be transferred (the ‘sendingmachine’), select the information you want to transfer:• If the information is a file, ensure that the file is closed and highlight the filename on the System screen. Drag the pen if you want to transfer more thanone file.• If the information is an object already inserted from another program, e.g. agraph displayed in Word, just select the object. If the inserted object is dis-played as an icon, you can just select the icon.• If the information is an Agenda or Data entry, open the appropriate file andmove the cursor to the required entry.• If you wish to transfer a graph, highlight the cell contents in Sheet view.Graphs cannot be transferred direct from one Sheet file to another, only thecell contents. Relative and absolute cell references are preserved.• In all other cases, open the file from which the selected information is to betransferred, and select the required information (e.g. the piece of text, rangeof spreadsheet cells, sketch area).Note: Objects can be transferred like other information. They appear as objectson the receiving machine.
Chapter 4: Using InfraredTransferring The Information46 Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual4.3 Transferring The Information 1. Ask the user of the other netpad or Psion Teklogix device to open theprogram or file where the information is to be transferred to.• If the information to be transferred is an entire file, ask the other user totap the System icon and move to the folder to which the file is to betransferred.• If the information is an Agenda or Data entry, ask the other user to openthe appropriate Agenda or Data file.• In all other cases, ask the other user to open the file or program to whichthe selected information is to be transferred, and move the cursor to theappropriate point in the file.2. On the receiving machine, select the Infrared receive command fromthe Tools menu. The Ready to receive screen is displayed.3. Position the two machines, aligning the Infrared windows (ideally, bothshould be resting on the same flat surface). The Infrared window on thenetpad is on the top of the machine (see “Features Of The netpad” onpage 17). The machines should be no more than one metre apart.4. On the sending machine, select the Infrared send command from theTools menu. If the Infrared windows are in range, the transfer begins.Infrared screens appear on both machines to indicate that the transfer istaking place, and the progress of the transfer is displayed.

When you close all folders in the System screen, you move to the highestlevel 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 fileis open, or in the System screen. Any changes you have made to the file areautomatically saved.To close a document without saving your changes:select Revert to Saved from the program’s File menu, in the More option,before exiting in the normal way. Some applications, like Agenda and Data,always save your entries as you enter them, and therefore do not providethis facility.You can also close files or programs by selecting the list of open files and programsby tapping the current program name, then using the Close file button in the list ofopen files and programs.6.5 Creating New FoldersYou can keep a maximum of 64 items (each file or folder counts as one item) in the“root” (top level) of the netpad’s internal disk. It’s best to create a number of foldersin which to store all your files to prevent the top level of the System screen frombecoming too full.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 onyour house, and create another folder within the “House” folder called “Letters” forWord files of correspondence. Using folders in this way will also make your fileseasier to find.
Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and ProgramsCreating New Files70 Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User ManualTo 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, andtype in the folder name.You cannot use the following characters in a folder name: < > : / \ *?If you use netpad files with a PC, you may wish to create folders that match equiva-lent folders on your PC. This will make transferring files between the netpad andPC easier.6.5.1 Creating New Files You can create files from the System screen, or from within programs. As a general rule:• Create a file from the System screen to start with the standard netpad settings.• Create a file from within a program to use the settings that are in use in thefile 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 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 ofyour own before pressing the OK button.What names can I use for my files & folders?You can use most characters in file and folder names including spaces, for example,“1997 Purchase Orders and Invoices”. The only characters which cannot be used ina file or folder name are / < > : \ * and ?.The maximum length of a filename is 256 characters, although note that thisincludes the disk drive letter, and the names of the folders within which the file iscontained (known as the “path”). The maximum length of a folder name, includingthe path, is 252 characters.
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual 71Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and ProgramsBrowsing FoldersGenerally, this will not be a problem, although it means that you may encounter dif-ficulties if you use very long filenames for files which you store in folders whichhave long names, nested within other folders with long names, and so on. If you doexceed the maximum allowed length, rename a folder or file to a shorter name.Important: Note that files are not stored with a file name extension so that anAgenda file, e.g. called ‘1997’, will have the same file name as aSheet file called ‘1997’. You cannot store two files with the samename in the same folder, even if the files are created using differentprograms. If you save a file with the same file name as a file alreadyexisting in that folder, the original file will be deleted and replacedwith the new file.6.6 Browsing Folders A quick way to find a file is to use the Browse folders commandontheFile menu.This displays a Browser which shows a tree structure of all the files and folders onthe current disk. You can also display the Browser by tapping the Title bar or press-ing Tab in the System screen.To move between files and folders in the Browser:use the pen or arrow keys.To “expand” the folder display:highlight the folder name and tap it again or press Tab.

Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual 73Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and ProgramsUsing Passwords6.7.1 Using Passwords You can prevent other people from opening your Word and Sheet files by setting apassword for each file. For example, you may have a Sheet spreadsheet containingyour personal finance details. To set a password on a file:1. Open the file and select the Password command from the File menu.2. Type your password twice for confirmation. Choose a password thatyou won’t easily forget, but one that won’t be easy for other peopleto guess.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 fora file then you will not be able to open it.The password on an individual file will protect it if you transfer it toa multimedia card or another machine. If you copy the file, the copywill be protected by the same password. The password also preventsthefilebeingconvertedtoanotherformatandreadonaPC.6.8 Changing File Attributes You can prevent a file from being accidentally changed by making it a “read-only”file. To do this, highlight the file in the System screen and select Properties from theFile menu. Then check the Read-only box.
Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and ProgramsManaging Folders74 Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User ManualFiles that have been created on a PC and then transferred to the netpad may also be“read-only” files.To check whether a file is a “read-only” file, highlight it in the System screen andselect 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.6.9 Managing Folders To move one or more folders or files from one location to another:1. First highlight the file(s) or folder(s) to select them. Drag with the pento select more than one file.To select all the files/folders in the current folder, use the Select allcommand on the Edit menu. To deselect items, press the Esc key.2. Select the Cut (move) command from the Edit menu. A dotted lineappears round the file/folder icon(s).3. Go to the disk drive and open the folder into which the highlighteditems are to be moved.4. Select the Paste command from the Edit menu.Notes: Moving a folder also moves all the files within that folder.If you move (or rename) your most recently opened Agenda or Data file,you should open it again by selecting it from the System screen, rather thantapping the Agenda or Data program icon. Tapping on the program iconwill create a new Agenda or Data file.To copy a file or folder, or multiple files/folders to a different folder:follow the earlier instructions, but select the Copy as opposed to the Cut (move)command from the Edit menu.
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual 75Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and ProgramsChecking Memory UseTo make a copy of a file or folder within the same folder:highlight it on the System screen and select the Copy commandfollowedbythePaste command. A new file is automatically created for you using the followingnaming convention (with Word as the example): Word(01), Word(02), etc. Youcan 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 ona multimedia card (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.To rename a disk:select Name disk from the Disk menu.To remove one or more files or folders:first highlight them and then either press the Delete key, or select the Deletecommand from the File menu.Important: If you are deleting folders, remember that the entire contents of thefolders (including all the other folders contained within them andall their files) will also be deleted.6.10 Checking Memory Use To display the amount of memory remaining:select Show disk gauge from the View menu to see the amount of free memoryin the System screen Title bar. Tap on this gauge, or select the Disk commandfrom the Information menu to see more detailed information about aselected disk.Disk Gauge
Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and ProgramsWhich Files Use The Most Memory?76 Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User ManualTo see information about total memory usage:select the Memory command from the Information menu.6.10.1 Which Files Use The Most Memory? Certain types of files use more memory than others.Sound files can become very large, so you should take care to delete unwantedRecord and Voice note files so that they do not use up space on the Internal disk.When recording a sound, the netpad will allow you to continue recording until the‘Time available’ runs out. Even if the Time available is zero, the Record programwill always leave approximately 100 kilobytes of free memory.If you find that the amount of free memory is suddenly reduced, it is a good idea tocheck the size of any Record files.Agenda files can also become very large. You should tidy your Agenda periodicallyin order to remove entries; see the Agenda User Guide document for more details.What will happen when the memory is full?When the memory is nearly full, you will see warning dialogues when running pro-grams to indicate that the netpad’s memory is almost full, and there is not enoughmemory to perform some tasks.Many of the things you do need just a little free memory in order to work—display-ing dialogues, menus, etc. These can fail with a message like ‘Memory full’. Don’tworry though, the netpad will not allow you to use all of the available memory; itwill always set aside enough memory for you to close a program or save an open fileto a multimedia card.
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual 77Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and ProgramsAdditional Memory And ProgramsFiles saved on the Internal disk and “open” programs both use memory. So, if thememory is nearly full you should be able to free some memory by closing some pro-grams. You can use the List open files command from the File menu in the Systemscreen to check which programs are running, and then close the programs or filesthat you do not need to have open.You can also delete any unwanted files from the System screen, or move files to amultimedia card or your PC to free more memory.6.10.2 Additional Memory And Programs You can insert multimedia cards into the slot on the right-hand side of the netpad.You might use them as additional memory for storing files, or to add more programsto the netpad.If a multimedia card contains additional programs:their icons will automatically appear in the Program icon bar when you insertthe disk. They will be removed when you take out the card.To delete all the files on a multimedia card:put it in the slot, and then select the Format disk command from the Diskmenu; select Dasthe‘Disk’intheFormat disk dialogue.Important: Do not format the Cdisk - this will remove all the files you havestored on the netpad’s internal disk, and remove all the preferencesand settings that you have set up.Translated OPL programs that have not been made into applications will not appearin the Program icon bar. If you wish to run a translated OPL program, locate the filein 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 netpad?There are no major differences between OPL for Series 3/5 machines and OPL forthe netpad. If you have written programs in OPL on a Series 3/5, you should be ableto translate them so that you can run them on a netpad. Series 3/3a/3c/3mx applica-tions (which are not written as OPL programs) will not run on a netpad; however,applications written for Series5/5mx should work but may not scale to cover the fullscreen size.

You can use synchronization to manage information that you wish to keep up to dateon both your PC and netpad, such as agenda appointments or an address book.When you synchronize, PsiWin checks the information in your PC scheduler with
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual 91Chapter 7: Connecting netpad To A PCSynchronizing Your netpad With Microsoft Outlookthe matching Agenda or Data file on your netpad, and then updates the files on bothyour PC and netpad to include the new information. Some examples of synchroniza-tion are:• You add a new appointment in your netpad Agenda, the date, time and notesfor the entry will be copied to your PC scheduler.• You change a phone number in your PC scheduler; it will be amended inyour netpad’s address book.• You enter overlapping appointments in your PC and netpad agendas,PsiWin will warn you of the conflict.Many people will just use one synchronization task to keep their netpad informationin step with their PC information. Synchronization tasks can be used in a number ofother ways, for example:• You and other colleagues could synchronize their work Agendas with thesame master scheduler on a networked PC.• You may have a work Agenda synchronizing with a network installation ofOrganizer at the office, and a personal Agenda synchronizing with Sched-ule+ on your PC at home.The following sections provide instructions for synchronizing with Microsoft Out-look, Microsoft Schedule and Lotus Organizer.7.7.2 Synchronizing Your netpad With Microsoft OutlookThis chapter details the set-up and day-to-day use of PsiWin to synchronize yournetpad Agenda and Data files, or the Contacts program, with Microsoft Outlook97/98 on the PC. The chapter assumes some familiarity with the use of Windows95/98/NT 4.0.7.7.2.1 Software CompatibilityThis chapter assumes that you are using PsiWin (supplied with netpad). You mustalso have a full local installation of Microsoft Outlook 97/98.
Chapter 7: Connecting netpad To A PCSynchronizing Your netpad With Microsoft Outlook92 Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual7.7.2.2 Creating New SynchronizationsIf you have different Agenda or Data files, or Outlook folders that you want to syn-chronize, you can create multiple synchronizations on your PC. You must define atleast one synchronization.Required InformationBefore creating your synchronization, note the locations of the Agenda, Data orContacts files you want to synchronize. The synchronization needs to know whichparticular files you want to use. You must also specify which folders within Outlookto synchronize.• If you are synchronizing an Agenda or Data file, open the file(s) that youwant to synchronize.• Tap the file name at the top of the toolbar to open the Open files /programsdialogue.• Scroll through the list until you find your file(s) listed.• Make a note of the path (in this example, c:\Documents\Agenda).

However, if you do not have an existingAgenda or Database file on your netpad, the synchronizer cancreate them. This is especially useful for a Contacts database – ifyou specify a non-existent Data file, the synchronizer creates a newone on the netpad that is optimized for use with your Outlook con-tacts. The synchronization can only create a Data file if you haveselect the option to synchronize a Data file.1. Make sure that your netpad is connected to the PC.2. Double-click on the My Psion icon.
