14 Miscellaneous Applications

These applications are part of the Qtopia operating system which runs on your PMA430. You will find detailed information on how to use these and those applications mentioned in the chapter PIM applications in the online help provided by Qtopia. Open the Help application on the ARCHOS tab and click on the House icon on the right side of the toolbar or access the Help file installed with Qtopia Desktop on your PC (see the section Usage in the Installing and using Qtoipia Desktop chapter).

14.1Clock

Acts as a clock, stopwatch, and alarm. If you would like to make your own custom alarm sound, place a .wav file (8 or 16 bit PCM only) named alarm.wav (case sensitive) into the folder /System. The alarm will wake up the PMA430 and then play the audio file. Make sure to leave the built-in speaker checked to On in order to hear it.

14.2World Time

Clock application that allows you to see the current time in 6 different time zones (Paris,Berlin, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Brisbane). Drag the stylus on the map to view the time in other countries and cities.

14.3Calculator

Standard calculator application with two modes, simple and scientific.

14.4Text Editor

Basic text editing program similar to Block Notes on a PC or Simple Text on a Mac. Attention, there is no Save command. The text file is saved as you type. Click on the close file X icon in the top right of the menu bar to exit. Text files can be beamed with via the infrared port to another infrared capable device. Please note that newly created files will be saved in the Documents folder. When this folder contains many files, this can slow don the PMA430 or result in messages such as “Memory Low” or “Memory Critical”, so you might want to consider creating a folder (e.g. named “Data”) in the root directory of the PMA 430 to store the files you do not access frequently.
