1.5 Caring For The netpad
When used according to the instructions in this manual, the netpad should remain in
good working order for many years. However, there are certain precautions you
should take to ensure continued trouble-free use:
•
Do operate the netpad within temperature limits of -20°C to +60°C (-20°C
to +55°C for scanner variants), and store when not being used within temperature limits of -25°C to +70°C (-25°C to +60°C for scanner variants). To
maximize long term battery life, where possible operate and store the
product within temperature limits of +10°C to +35°C. Avoid sudden
changes in temperature, exposure to direct sunlight and heat sources (electric heaters, etc.)
•
Do keep the netpad away from strong magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers)
and sources of static electricity.
•
Use only the Psion Teklogix-approved docking station.
•
Do back up regularly. You can use PsiWin to back up your netpad to your
PC, or you can make backups to a multimedia card. See “Things To Do
Next” on page 54 for more information.
•
To clean the screen: switch the netpad off and use a soft, clean, dry cloth to
gently wipe the keyboard and screen. (If the netpad 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.)
Important:
Under no circumstances use chemical solvents that may have a
corrosive effect.
•
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 stylus supplied with the netpad
in its storage compartment.
•
Do not throw, or try to bend the netpad. (The netpad is designed to withstand a 5ft drop onto any surface.)
•
Do not keep the netpad next to credit cards or transport tickets; the speaker
magnet could corrupt the information on the magnetic strip.
•
Do not attempt to dismantle the netpad. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside and any attempt to do so will render the warranty void.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Additional Programs And Third Party Applications
•
Do not remove the main battery for longer than necessary. The backup
battery maintains the netpad’s memory for some hours; however, prolonged
reliance on the backup battery does reduce its life.
Important:
If both the batteries run out of power you will lose all your information on the internal disk.

2.2.1.1
Power Management
The netpad is powered by a powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack, which
under normal operating conditions will provide power for up to 8 hours use. The
netpad will warn you when the main battery charge is low. For complete details
about battery safety, and details of how to change the main battery, see Chapter
10: “Powering The netpad”.
Note:
You can also power the netpad from the mains by placing it in the
docking station (see page 39).
To charge the battery, place the complete netpad in a netpad docking station (for
instructions, please refer to page 39), or place the battery in one of the optional
battery chargers. The standard (850 mAH) netpad battery will normally be fully
charged within 2 to 2.5 hours (3 hours for a 1400 mAH battery pack).
18
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual
Chapter 2: Getting Started
Power
An internal, rechargeable backup battery allows you to replace the battery pack at
any time without loss of data, applications or resetting to the default settings. The
backup battery maintains the netpad’s memory for some hours, however prolonged
reliance on the backup battery does reduce its lifetime.
Important:
If both the batteries run out of power you will lose all your information on the internal disk.
You can take steps to help prolong your battery’s life:
•
Turn the screen brightness down.
•
Set the automatic switch-off in the Power control panel, to automatically
turn the netpad off after a convenient time.
•
Use files on the internal disk instead of an MMC, as the netpad requires
more power to write to the mulitmedia card.
2.2.1.2

Important:
Take care when replacing batteries!
The netpad will warn you when its main battery is getting low, in
plenty of time to change/charge it. The backup battery is designed
to maintain the memory for several hours; however, prolonged reliance on the backup battery does reduce its life.
2.2.2 Fitting The Antenna
Before using netpad units fitted with 802.11 radios, the antenna must be installed.
The antenna should be installed as shown in Figure 2.5 below. To install the antenna
turn it counter clockwise; to remove the antenna turn it clockwise.
Figure 2.5 Antenna Insertion And Removal
2.2.3 Installing The SIM Card
A netpad fitted with a GSM/GPRS radio requires a Subscriber Identity Module
(SIM) card installed in order for the netpad to access the GSM network. The SIM
card fits into a dedicated slot in the netpad. The SIM card slot compartment is
located behind the Card Slot door on the side of the netpad; the SIM card slot is
located below the Multimedia card (MMC) slot (see Figure 2.7 on page 22).
Important:
20
The MMC slot and SIM slot are located very close together. When
inserting or removing the SIM card be careful not to drop the SIM
card into MMC slot.

2.4 Finding And Using The Stylus
The stylus is located in a holder at the right. To remove it, slide the stylus out of the
top of the netpad. To replace it, push it back in.
Tap lightly on the screen using the stylus. It’s OK to use your fingers to tap on the
screen, though it is best to use the stylus 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 “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.

How To Reset The netpad
2.6 How To Reset The netpad
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.
If this does not work, or if your netpad appears to have “locked up”, you can always
perform a “soft reset”. This should restart your netpad while preserving most of
your 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 otherwise blank.
To perform a soft reset:
gently press the stylus onto the reset button. This is located inside the MMC
door cover to the side of the MMC slot.
Card Slot Door Latch
MMC Card
Reset
Button
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 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”.
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).

First Steps
2.8 First Steps
When you first switch on the netpad, 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 netpad works.
•
All the information you enter into the netpad 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 netpad, 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.
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 Chapter 6: “Files, Folders, and Programs” for
details of managing files and folders.
2.8.1 Aligning The Touch Screen
You can ensure that the touch screen is properly calibrated using the Screen menu.
1. In the System screen, tap on Control Panel on the Toolbar, or select the
command from the Tools menu.
2. Tap the Screen icon.
3. The Screen settings dialogue comes up. Tap the Calibrate button at
the side of the page, then follow the instructions on the screen. You will
be asked to tap the centre of each point indicated on the screen. At the
conclusion of the test, the calibration will be completed when you
accept the new settings by tapping on the Yes button.

Programs And Files
2.8.4 Programs And Files
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.
To create a new file:
select the Create new file command on the File menu and type in the name for
the new file (see “Entering Information”, below). 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 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 that already has any settings or preferences you have set up in
the program.
It is a good idea to keep related files together in a folder, to make the files easier to
find later. See Chapter 6: “Files, Folders, and Programs” for details of how to
manage your files and folders.
2.8.5 Entering Information
You can enter information and complete tasks using the stylus or the Psiboard. The
Psiboard is displayed by tapping the Keyboard command icon.

You can:
•
Move the keyboard by tapping the title bar and dragging it.
•
Resize the keyboard by dragging the bottom right-hand corner.
•
Minimize the keyboard by tapping the underline symbol on the top righthand corner of the keyboard.
•
Maximize the keyboard again when you need to type something, by tapping
the underline symbol.

to set ‘Always on top’ to prevent the Psiboard from disappearing every time you tap
on another part of the screen. Then, to move the Psiboard out of the way,
minimize it.
When you are in a dialogue in which you need to enter information, Psiboard is displayed in a different mode. When you tap twice in a line, the keyboard opens. As
you type the text is shown. When you tap Done, the keyboard closes and the line of
text is entered in to the dialogue. You can use the Next and Prev buttons to move
between items on the dialogue.

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.
A menu command with three dots at the end means that selecting the command will
display a “dialogue” 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.
2.8.7 Using Dialogues
A “dialogue” appears when you need to make selections and enter further information. You can move between dialogue items by tapping on them, or using the up and
down arrow keys. Dialogues contain one or more of the following elements:

Chapter 2: Getting Started
Using Dialogues
Textbox:
where you just type in your information. When you tap in the textbox, Psiboard
opens so you can type in.
Listbox:
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.
Checkbox:
where you make a choice between selecting an option or not selecting it. Just
tap on the checkbox, or press the left and right arrow keys to add or remove
a check.
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 dialogue line is grey, it is currently not available, usually because you have to
select something else first. For example, if you have not checked the box to set an
alarm for an Agenda entry, the lines to set the alarm time and date are grey. Some
dialogue lines only appear when another option has been chosen.
Some dialogues 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 dialogue around the screen by holding the stylus on the dialogue title bar and
dragging it across the screen.

2.8.7.2
How To Display A Calendar
In most dialogues 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 dialogue 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.
You can also display a calendar from the Agenda program. See the Agenda document for more details.
2.8.8 Copying Information Between Programs
You can insert information created in one program into a different program. This is
known as “inserting” an “object”.
For example, you may want to add a picture to a letter you are writing. To do this,
write the letter as normal, for example 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 (if it is installed), where you can
create the picture. Close Sketch when you have finished and the picture will be
inserted into your letter.
Sometimes the object you insert can be displayed as an icon, for example, if you
insert a large amount of Word text into an Agenda entry. (Agenda is netpad’s standard calendar program.) Alternatively, you may prefer to see the actual information
added, e.g. a map to view in the Word file.
34

Copying Information Between Programs
For example, you may wish to:
•
insert tables of figures and graphs from a spreadsheet such as 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
the Jotter notepad program or a Word file if necessary.

4.1 Introduction
The netpad has Infrared built in, allowing you to transfer selected information to
another 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 ‘sending
machine’), select the information you want to transfer:
•
If the information is a file, ensure that the file is closed and highlight the file
name on the System screen. Drag the pen if you want to transfer more than
one file.
•
If the information is an object already inserted from another program, e.g. a
graph displayed in Word, just select the object. If the inserted object is displayed as an icon, you can just select the icon.
•
If the information is an Agenda or Data entry, open the appropriate file and
move 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 the
cell contents. Relative and absolute cell references are preserved.
•
In all other cases, open the file from which the selected information is to be
transferred, and select the required information (e.g. the piece of text, range
of spreadsheet cells, sketch area).
Note:
Objects can be transferred like other information. They appear as objects
on the receiving machine.

Things To Do First
5.1 Things To Do First
This section describes what you may need to do to set up your netpad:
•
Enter owner information, so that your netpad can be returned if you lose it.
•
Set a passcode for your machine, so that other people cannot access
your information.
•
Set the current time and date, so that you can use the diary program Agenda
and set alarms.
•
Set your “Home city”, so that the netpad can display the correct time differences and dialling codes for other places in the World. This is useful if you
use the Time program.
5.1.1 Entering Owner Information
It is a good idea to type your contact information as “owner information”, so that if
you lose your netpad, it can be returned when found:
1. Select the Passcode icon from the Control Panel in the System screen,
and tap the Owner info button in the dialogue (see “Setting A System
Passcode”, below).
2. Set how you wish the owner information screen to be displayed:
At switch on, if you always want to display the screen when switching
the machine on.
Once per day, if you only want to see the screen once a day, the first
time you switch your machine on each day.
Never, if you never want to display the screen when you switch on.
3. Type in your details and tap Done. The labels provided are suggestions
only; you can change them if you want to. It’s best not to put your home
address, in case your house keys are lost at the same time.
You can display the owner information at any time using the Owner command on
the Information menu in the System screen.

Setting A System Passcode
5.1.2 Setting A System Passcode
To prevent anyone from looking at the files on the Internal disk of the netpad, set a
system passcode that you must type in before you can use the machine.
To set a system passcode:
1. Select the Passcode icon from the Control Panel in the System screen.
2. Check the Ask for passcode box so that your netpad requests the passcode when you switch the machine on.
3. Type the passcode twice for confirmation. Choose a passcode that you
won’t easily forget, but one that won’t be easy for someone else to
guess. DON’T FORGET your passcode! You will need to enter the
passcode again if you want to change the passcode settings on
your netpad.
The passcode is now set. The next time you switch your machine on, you will have
to type in the passcode to access your files.
52

Chapter 5: Configuring The netpad
Setting The Time, Date And Home City
If you want to switch the passcode off temporarily, remove the check from the Ask
for passcode box.
Note:
The system passcode does not protect files stored on multimedia cards or
files copied to other machines.
Important:
Don’t forget your passcode! If you have forgotten the system passcode then you will have to reset the machine. All the files stored on
the internal disk will then be lost.
5.1.3 Setting The Time, Date And Home City
1. In the System screen, tap on Control Panel on the Toolbar, or select the
command from the Tools menu.
2. Tap the Time & date icon.
3. You see a dialogue in which you can set the time and date, your home
city and summer times around the world. Tap the Time & date button.
Move the highlight in the Time and Date lines by tapping on the part
you want to change, or by using the arrow keys. Type the date or time,
press P for p.m. or A for a.m.
4. Tap on the OK button and the time and date are saved.
5. Tap the Home button.
6. Select your Home city and country. To do this:
• Start typing in the name of your home city, or tap on the arrow symbols
or press the left and right arrow keys until you find the city you want.
• If your home city is not listed, select a city that is nearby for now
(adding a city is described in the Time document).
• Tap on the OK button and your home city is saved. Tap Close to remove
the dialogue and return to the Control Panel.
Note:
The netpad can use a 12-hour clock (midnight is 12:00:00 a.m.) or a 24hour clock. Refer to the ‘Time’ document for details on how to change
these settings, and how to adjust the clock for summer time.

Backing Up To Multimedia Cards
Backing Up To A PC
You can use PsiWin to back up individual files, folders, or the netpad’s entire disk to
the PC.
Note:
Making regular backups.
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.
5.2.2 Backing Up To Multimedia Cards
You can back up individual files, individual folders or groups of files and folders to
a multimedia card fitted in the multimedia card (MMC) slot. To back up the files
and folders, copy them from the internal disk to a multimedia card 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 multimedia card), and select the
folder you want to use for the backup on disk D.
3. Select the Paste command from the Edit menu.
Restoring Files From A Backup
To restore the files and folders on a multimedia card to your netpad, copy them from
the multimedia card 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 multimedia card, then change it to
C to paste the copied files to the Internal disk.

Power and Power Saving Mode
• Standard
This option will automatically switch off the netpad when the time set in
the Switch off after box is reached, if there has been no user action on
the netpad for that time period. (This is the same as the Yes option in
Automatic switch off).
• Standard (no radio)
This selection switches the netpad off in the same way as the Standard

communication between the netpad and the radio. This option is used to
turn off the radio when you are entering areas where radio emissions are
not permitted, such as a plane or a hospital.
• Screen only
This mode switches off the LCD to save power, but enables the radio
unit to switch it on for an incoming transmission from the radio network.
Selection of the Screen only mode allows the user to select Beep on
screen off and Clicks when screen is off. These functions are selecting
by placing a check in the white box (see details below).
Beep on screen off
This selection will cause the unit to emit a loud beep if there has
been no user action or radio transmission when the time set in the
Switch off after option is reached.
Clicks when screen off
Once the netpad has entered the Power Saving mode by
switching off the LCD, the speaker on the netpad will click
every second to let the user know the netpad is in the LCD power
saving mode.
If Beep on screen off and Clicks when screen off are not enabled, the
netpad will switch off when the time in the Switch off after option is
reached, but there will be no sound warning that the netpad is still active.
The LCD will automatically come on with incoming transmissions to

Folders, and Programs”.
•
Back up your files regularly (see “Backing Up To Multimedia Cards” on
page 55) in case they get lost or are deleted accidentally.
•
Set passwords to protect information from prying eyes. You can set a password for the netpad as a whole (as explained earlier) or for individual files.
For more information see Chapter 6: “Files, Folders, and Programs”.
•
Enter contact information so that your netpad can be returned to you if you
lose it. See “Entering Owner Information” on page 51.
Note:
It is not 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.

Customizing Your netpad
5.3 Customizing Your netpad
This section includes some ideas for customizing the netpad.
Note:
You can customize the way many programs work using the Preferences
commands on the program’s Tools menu.
5.3.1 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 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 commands on the
File menu.
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.
To select the wallpaper file to use:
Move to the System screen and select Preferences from the Tools menu. Move
to the Wallpaper page and select the name of the wallpaper file that you want
to display.
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.
Note:
You cannot delete the built-in wallpaper included with the netpad.

Chapter 5: Configuring The netpad
Recording Your Own Alarms
5.3.2 Recording Your Own Alarms
You can use the Record program to create alarm sounds that can be used in Time
and Agenda.
To save a recording for use as an alarm sound:
Select the Alarm sound button on the Toolbar or the Save as alarm sound
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.
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.
Note:
You cannot delete or modify the built-in netpad alarm sounds.
5.3.3 Customizing The System Screen
In the System screen, you can use the commands on the View menu to change how
the System screen looks and works:
62
•
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.
•
Turn the Toolbar off and on with Show toolbar; without the Toolbar you can
see more of the System screen.
•
Control how the files are sorted, and what file information is displayed with
Sort files and Show file details. When you first use the netpad, files are
grouped ‘by type’ (i.e. according to program); you can change this to sort
them by date, name or size.
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual
Chapter 5: Configuring The netpad
Customizing The System Screen
You can customize many of the ways that the netpad 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.
You can customize the positions of icons on the Program icon bar, e.g. so that the
icons for your favourite programs appear in particular positions. To display the
Program icon bar where you can set this, press the System icon once if you are in
the System screen, or twice if you are in an application. To display the dialogue in
which you set the position of an icon, tap the title bar on the left-hand side.
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.
Warning:
The System folder contains files that are used by the netpad 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 netpad programs.

6.3 Opening Files, Folders And Programs
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 move to a program:
tap the relevant program icon. Tap the System command icon to display the
Program icon bar with 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” on page 70 for more details).
Notes: If the last file you were looking at has been deleted, moved or renamed,
the program automatically looks for a file with a standard file name (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.
Tap on the System command icon to display icons for additional programs
installed on your netpad. If there are more programs than will fit on the
screen, tap the More button.

Closing Programs/Files
How can I see which files and programs are open?
Select the List open files command on the List cascade from the File menu, or tap
the System icon. To move to a file or program in the list, highlight it and press the
Go to file button.
6.4 Closing Programs/Files
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:
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 provide
this facility.
You can also close files or programs by selecting the list of open files and programs
by tapping the current program name, then using the Close file button in the list of
open files and programs.
6.5 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 netpad’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.
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.
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual

Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and Programs
Creating New Files
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 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 equivalent folders on your PC. This will make transferring files between the netpad and
PC 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 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 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.
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 in
a file or folder name are / < > : \ * and ?.
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.
70
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual
Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and Programs
Browsing Folders
Generally, this will not 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.
Important:
Note that files are not stored with a file name extension so that an
Agenda file, e.g. called ‘1997’, will have the same file name 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 file name as a file already
existing in that folder, the original file will be deleted and replaced
with the new file.
6.6 Browsing Folders
A quick way to find a file is to use the Browse folders command on the File menu.
This displays a Browser which shows a tree structure of all the files and folders on
the current disk. You can also display the Browser by tapping the Title bar or pressing 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. To “collapse” the folder
display, tap the folder name twice or press Tab.
To create a folder from the Browser:
press the New folder button.
To rearrange the order of the files in the currently highlighted folder:
press the relevant Sort by button.

6.7 Finding Files And Folders
To search for files or folders tap the Find file button on the Toolbar or select the
command on the Edit menu.
•
If you know the name or part of the name, type it on the Name line; leave it
blank to find all files and folders.
•
To search only for files used with a specific program, select the program
name on the Program line; select Any to search for all files used with
any program.
•
Tap OK to start the search.
This checks all files and folders on the Internal disk and includes a multimedia card
if present. The search results appear in a list.
To sort the list:
by filename, file type, file size or creation date, press the Sort button and choose
the sorting type required. To sort the list again in reverse order, just select the
same sorting type again.
To go to a file or folder:
highlight it and tap it again, or press Enter.

Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual
Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and Programs
Using Passwords
6.7.1 Using Passwords
You can prevent other people from opening your Word and Sheet files by setting a
password for each file. For example, you may have a Sheet spreadsheet containing
your 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 that
you won’t easily forget, but one that won’t be easy for other people
to 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 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 multimedia card 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.
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 the
File menu. Then check the Read-only box.
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual
73
Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and Programs
Managing Folders
Files 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 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.
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 pen
to select more than one file.
To select all the files/folders in the current folder, use the Select all
command on the Edit menu. To deselect items, press the Esc key.
2. Select the Cut (move) command from the Edit menu. A dotted line
appears round the file/folder icon(s).
3. Go to the disk drive and open the folder into which the highlighted
items 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 than
tapping the Agenda or Data program icon. Tapping on the program icon
will 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.

Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and Programs
Checking Memory Use
To make a copy of a file or folder within the same folder:
highlight it on the System screen and select the Copy command followed by the
Paste command. A new file is automatically created for you using the following
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 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 Delete
command from the File menu.
Important:
If you are deleting folders, remember that the entire contents of the
folders (including all the other folders contained within them and
all 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 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.

Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and Programs
Which Files Use The Most Memory?
To 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 unwanted
Record 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 program
will 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 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 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 programs to indicate that the netpad’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 dialogues, menus, etc. These can fail with a message like ‘Memory full’. Don’t
worry though, the netpad 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 multimedia card.
76
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual
Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and Programs
Additional Memory And Programs
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.
You can also delete any unwanted files from the System screen, or move files to a
multimedia 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 programs
to the netpad.
If a multimedia card contains additional programs:
their icons will automatically appear in the Program icon bar when you insert
the 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 Disk
menu; select D a s the ‘Disk’ in the Format disk dialogue.
Important:
Do not format the C disk - this will remove all the files you have
stored on the netpad’s internal disk, and remove all the preferences
and settings that you have set up.
Translated OPL programs that have not been made into applications will not appear
in the Program icon bar. 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 netpad?
There are no major differences between OPL for Series 3/5 machines and OPL for
the netpad. 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 netpad. Series 3/3a/3c/3mx applications (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 full
screen size.

Chapter 7: Connecting netpad To A PC
Introduction
7.1 Introduction
This chapter explains how to use PsiWin to copy files between a PC and netpad, and
how to synchronize files such as Agenda, Data and Contact files. It assumes some
basic knowledge of Windows 95/98/NT4.
The chapter assumes that you have established a link between your PC and netpad.
•
Check this by looking in the PC’s System tray in the bottom right-hand
corner of your desktop. There should be a wiggly line in the system tray if
you have successfully linked, as shown.
If this line is straight there is no connection.
•
Make sure that your link cable is connected.
•
On the netpad, go to the System screen and select Link to desktop… on the
Tools menu. Make sure that the Link line is set to Cable.
If you are having problems connecting to your netpad, please see “General Troubleshooting Tips” on page 167, or if docked check to make sure the RS-232 cable is
connected to the docking station.
For information about installing PsiWin, see the document, Installing and Setting
Up PsiWin. For information about printing to a PC printer via PsiWin, see “Using
PsiWin To Print Via A PC” on page 147.
7.2 About PsiWin 2
You can use the PC connectivity software, PsiWin 2, to integrate the netpad with
PCs running Windows 95/98/2000/ME or NT 4.0. By connecting the netpad to a PC
with a cable and running PsiWin on the PC, you can:
•
View your netpad 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
netpad files.
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual
81
Chapter 7: Connecting netpad To A PC
Using PsiWin
•
Drag and drop files between the netpad 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 netpad with PC
agendas (applications) and contact managers to keep them in step with
each other.
•
Back up your netpad files to the PC, then restore them from the PC to the
netpad again should you ever need to.
•
Print files on your netpad to a printer connected directly to your PC, or
available to your PC via a network.
7.3 Using PsiWin
PsiWin is not a separate program; instead it allows Windows Explorer to see files on
your netpad, using the My Psion icon. You can copy your netpad files in most of the
ways you can copy any normal PC file. The two methods outlined in this chapter are
representative of ways that you might use Explorer, but are not the only possibilities.
Note:
You can change the look of Explorer using options in the View menu;
therefore, the appearance of your own screen may vary slightly from
those shown.
7.4 Getting Help
7.4.1 Where Can I Find More Help?

Copying A File Using Copy And Paste
7.5.3 Copying A File Using Copy And Paste
Using Windows Explorer, you can copy files between your PC
and netpad 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.
Within Windows 95, 98 or NT4, clicking the right mouse
button often displays a context-sensitive (pop-up) menu – a
range of commands relevant to the object which you rightclick on. In Explorer, you can use these menus to copy files
between folders, regardless of whether they are on the PC or
the netpad.
1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. Navigate to, and expand, the My Psion branch of the folder list. Find
the folder that contains the file you wish to copy to the PC and click on
it so that its contents are shown in the right-hand pane of the
Explorer window.
3. Right-click on the file and select Copy from the pop-up menu that
appears.

4. Navigate to the folder you want to copy this file to, and select it, so that
its contents (if any) appear in the right-hand pane of the Explorer
window. Right-click in the right-hand pane of the Explorer window,
and select Paste from the pop-up menu.
5. As PsiWin copies the file, a dialogue box appears in which you can
select the type of file you wish to use on the other computer.
6. The dialogue suggests a suitable file type for the converted file, e.g.
Excel 5.0/95 for a netpad Sheet file, or Word 6.0/95 for a netpad Word
file. Select an alternative type if you use a different file type on your PC
7. Select the Convert button to copy the file from your netpad to the PC
and automatically convert it into the chosen file type.
Note:
You can select the Help button for more detailed help on the features of
this dialogue box.
You can use Windows Explorer to manage files and folders stored on your netpad in
the same way as you can on your PC’s drives.
Warning:
When you delete a file on your netpad from your PC, it is permanently removed from the netpad’s drive. The file cannot be retrieved
from the Windows Recycle Bin, which only stores files deleted from
your PC’s drives.
Further help: See the online Help for more information on how to manage files,
folders and disks.
Note:

Opening netpad Files From Your PC
7.5.4 Opening netpad Files From Your PC
You can open a file on your netpad 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 netpad when you have finished.
1. To open a file from Windows Explorer, double-click on the file icon or
press Enter. A dialogue 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.
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 netpad. A dialogue box appears which allows you to select the file type for
the edited file. Select the appropriate file type for your netpad, and then select
Convert to copy the file back to your netpad. 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’.
Important:
Don’t delete the backup version of the file from your netpad until
you are sure you want to use the edited version instead.
Further help: See the online Help for more information on how to open netpad files
on your PC.
7.6 Backing Up Your netpad With PsiWin
7.6.1 Performing Your First Backup
You can use PsiWin to back up all the files stored on your netpad to your PC.
Keeping backups of your netpad files on your PC means that you have a separate
copy of all your work that can be restored to your netpad. For example, you can
restore backed up files to your netpad 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.
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual

Chapter 7: Connecting netpad To A PC
Scheduling Regular Backups
To make a backup:
1. Double-click on the Psion Backup icon on the Desktop.
2. In the Psion Backup dialogue, select the drive(s) on your netpad you
wish to back up.
3. Click Back Up to start backing up the files on your netpad. PsiWin displays a progress window showing how long the backup will take and
will inform you when it has completed.
Further help: See the online Help for more information on how to back up and
restore your netpad files.
7.6.2 Scheduling Regular Backups
You can set PsiWin to make automatic backups at regular intervals so you do not
need to remember to back up your netpad. It is a good idea to schedule automatic
backups because it means you will always have up to date copies of your
netpad's files.
To schedule regular backups:
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 netpad.
Further help: See the online Help for more information on how to schedule regular
automatic backups.
7.7 Synchronizing Your netpad
7.7.1 What Is Synchronization?
You can use synchronization to manage information that you wish to keep up to date
on 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
90
Psion Teklogix netpad EPOC User Manual
Chapter 7: Connecting netpad To A PC
Synchronizing Your netpad With Microsoft Outlook
the matching Agenda or Data file on your netpad, and then updates the files on both
your PC and netpad to include the new information. Some examples of synchronization are:
•
You add a new appointment in your netpad Agenda, the date, time and notes
for the entry will be copied to your PC scheduler.
•
You change a phone number in your PC scheduler; it will be amended in
your 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 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.
The following sections provide instructions for synchronizing with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule and Lotus Organizer.
7.7.2 Synchronizing Your netpad With Microsoft Outlook
This chapter details the set-up and day-to-day use of PsiWin to synchronize your
netpad Agenda and Data files, or the Contacts program, with Microsoft Outlook
97/98 on the PC. The chapter assumes some familiarity with the use of Windows
95/98/NT 4.0.
7.7.2.1
Software Compatibility
This chapter assumes that you are using PsiWin (supplied with netpad). You must
also have a full local installation of Microsoft Outlook 97/98.

7.7.2.2
Creating New Synchronizations
If you have different Agenda or Data files, or Outlook folders that you want to synchronize, you can create multiple synchronizations on your PC. You must define at
least one synchronization.
Required Information
Before creating your synchronization, note the locations of the Agenda, Data or
Contacts files you want to synchronize. The synchronization needs to know which
particular files you want to use. You must also specify which folders within Outlook
to synchronize.
92
•
If you are synchronizing an Agenda or Data file, open the file(s) that you
want to synchronize.
•
Tap the file name at the top of the toolbar to open the Open files /programs
dialogue.
•
Scroll through the list until you find your file(s) listed.
•
Make a note of the path (in this example, c:\Documents\Agenda).

7.7.2.3
Important:
Creating The Synchronization
It is very important that the following information is entered correctly – otherwise, the wrong files may be synchronized, or no synchronization will occur. However, if you do not have an existing
Agenda or Database file on your netpad, the synchronizer can
create them. This is especially useful for a Contacts database – if
you specify a non-existent Data file, the synchronizer creates a new
one on the netpad that is optimized for use with your Outlook contacts. The synchronization can only create a Data file if you have
select 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. Assuming the
machines have linked successfully, you will see several
icons, including one labelled Psion Synchronizer.
3. Double-click on this icon.
4. In the Psion Synchronizer window, click the New button. This launches
the Psion Synchronizer Wizard, which will take you through the steps
required to set up the synchronization. If you have never created a
synchronization before, PsiWin will bypass this window and go straight
to the Synchronization Wizard.
The welcome screen of the Wizard asks you the PC PIM that you want to synchronize with.

OK button.
7. Enter details for Microsoft Outlook.
• To synchronize the standard Outlook folders, leave all the Use
Default… boxes checked off.
• To synchronize custom Outlook folders, uncheck the relevant Use
Default… box and enter the folder path.
You can find the folder path by looking at the Folder List in Outlook. If
this isn’t shown, select Folder List from the View menu. Expand the list
until you can see the folder you want to synchronize. The path will be
the top level folder, then the subfolder that contains the folder(s) to synchronize, and then the folder to synchronize. These should be separated
by backslashes (\). If the name of your top level folder contains some
text in square brackets, use this text instead of the top level folder name.

Synchronizing Your netpad With Microsoft Outlook
13. Click on the Advanced button to set up the label mapping. Note that if
you are synchronizing with the Contacts program, or have chosen not
to synchronize a Data file, you may not be able to click this button. In
this case, you should ignore step 14 below and click the Next button.
14. The Contacts Synchronization dialogue lists the labels for the Contacts
folder in Outlook (or whichever folder you have specified for contacts
information) in the Contact information column, and in the Psion label
column you can match these to their equivalents (if any) in your netpad
Data file. To match labels:
a. Find the Outlook label whose function is the same as one of your netpad
Data file’s labels, then click in the box next to it in the Psion label
column.
b. An arrow
appears
to the right of this box.
Click on this to display a
drop-down list containing all the Psion labels
that you have not
matched. Select the
label you want to assign.
c. If you do not want to
synchronize with a particular Outlook Contacts
label, select 
from the drop-down list.
Note:
Each Psion label can only
be matched to one
Outlook label.
15. When you have finished
matching the labels, click
the OK button and then the
Next button.
