Built-in help and other messages

The Organizer has a built-in help feature which acts as a convenient, on-line reference manual. You can call up the Help feature at any time simply by pressing [2nd] [HELP]. On-line help is quite extensive, so you may have to call up more than one screen to find the information you require.

When built-in help is not available

On-line help is only available when called from an application screen, ie. not while performing a menu command, opening message box or some other operation. Pressing [2nd] [HELP] when there is no application display on the screen will have no effect. Help is also not available within the Clock and Calculator applications.

How to use built-in Help

If you press [2nd] [HELP] from any application screen (excluding Clock and Calculator applications), the HELP INDEX appears:

I	WHRT WOIJLU ‘I’OU LIKE H E L P	O N ’	I

To get Help, press the number corresponding to the menu option describing the kind of Help you want. Pressing [CANCEL] takes you back to the display you were in previously. After selecting a number, the first page of help for corresponding topic is displayed.

If you make a selection from the above menu, the display that appears will resemble the following example:

I:REHTING A NEW ENTRY - FROM SCHEDULE 1

. IJ5-e [ NE:IT 1 ot- [PREVI t.o i i r-o1 1 thr-ous cc.hrdule a n d dis~lor the d e s i r e d dntr

. P r e s s [NEWI

. E n t e r w olnrm time if d e s i r e d . T Y P E. in a descriPtion

. Fress [ E N T E R ] ta z+kr+ t.hr entrr

In this type of display, pressing [NEXT] takes you to the next page of the display, pressing [PREV] takes you to the previous page, and pressing [CANCEL] takes you back to the HELP INDEX menu.

From time to time during normal operation, the Organizer will display messages to guide you through necessary tasks. Many of these messages will give you a choice of commands or ask you to confirm important operations, while others will simply display information for you to read. In most cases, you must make a selection or simply acknowledge the message before continuing.

Other messages may display information briefly before disappearing.
