Emerson IP258 manual Hand Held Communicator Operation

D.5.0. Hand Held Communicator : Operation

Language

Initially the Psion Organiser will power up and display the Psion Copyright message, when the ON button is pressed. Then a choice of languages will be offered. This applies to the operation of the Psion Organiser functions only, MSM400 programme, although Datapaks will be available from MOBREY in different languages.

MSM400 Programme

The main menu selection of the Psion Organiser is automatically amended to include the MOBREY option when the Datapak is fitted. This cannot be permanently repositioned nor deleted.

Time

The only data in the Psion Organiser used by the MOBREY programme is the date held in the Organiser memory. On making changes to an MSM400 the date will be stored in the MSM400 control unit microprocessor, as shown by the Psion Organiser. To set this clock, select TIME, press MODE, select SET, and use the arrows to select the correct date and time on the display. Then press EXE to start the clock, and ON/ CLEAR to return to the main menu.

Disconnecting SMART Interface

To disconnect the interface unit it is necessary to press down the catch in the top centre face of the unit to release the lock, when the interface can be pulled vertically away. The Psion programme knows when the interface is not present and will no longer seek to find an instrument connected – it will only allow OFFLINE programming. Naturally, no diagnostic parameters are made available.

Note : Programme Lock-up

This will occur if the interface unit is disconnected from the Psion before it has finished all communications, or as a function of the Psion ON button features. The LCD is frozen:

a)Reconnect the interface unit, to allow completion of the procedure.

b)If the Lock-up has occurred after pressing the ON/CLEAR button, it probably results from the Psion Organiser “CLEAR” function which stops/freezes all programmes running at the time. The programme can be restarted by pressing any button again (except Q).

c)If the Lock-up occurs as a result of an incomplete procedure, there is no easy release process. The LCD on the SMART Communicator is frozen. Once the buffer store for instructions has been filled with 16 command key instructions, a bell like sound is made when any further button is pressed. The best escape route is to remove the battery to totally clear the memory of the Psion. Beware that this will also clear the date, diary and alarm memories of the Psion Organiser itself. Clearing the memory occurs after approx. 30 seconds with no battery, or immediately on pressing ON/CLEAR after the battery has been removed.
