This section gives a brief overview of what else you may want to do when you first use your netBook, including:

∙Ideas for how you can use the programs.

∙Instructions for using PsiWin to connect to your PC and perform backups to your PC.

∙Ideas for customising your netBook.

Which programs to use?

The first things you wish to do may include:

∙entering appointments, reminders, birthdays and lists of things to do from your old diary or time planner into the Agenda program. If you use a PC scheduler such as Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Organizer, you can use PsiWin to synchronize the information in your Psion and PC schedules to keep them both up to date.

∙entering names and addresses from your old address book into the netBook’s Contacts address book. If you also keep names and addresses in a PC scheduler, you can use PsiWin to synchronize your Psion and PC address books so that they are both kept up to date.

∙setting a morning alarm in the Time program. The Time program also includes a map of the world, and information about cities, world times, and national and international dialling codes.

∙entering a ‘work to do list’. This is best entered as a To-do list in Agenda. You will be able to see outstanding tasks in the Day view, set alarms to remind you to do them and cross out items when you’ve completed them.

You may also wish to:

∙keep a meeting agenda or minutes as a memo or voice note attached to the meeting’s entry in Agenda. You can then retrieve the notes by finding the meeting entry.

∙keep a record of expenses in the Sheet program. Here you can search for items, add columns of numbers, or calculate totals and tax.

∙keep a Data file as a “knowledgebase” of notes about a particular subject. You can keep track of references or products as you find them, and include additional information as attached “voice notes” or sketches.
