Sharp IQ-8900, IQ-8920 manual

•Check to see that the CARD LOCK switch is LOCKED and not in the RELEASE position. You may have accidentally left it unlocked after removing an IC card.

•Check that the battery replacement switch on the back of the unit is in the “NORMALOPERATION” position. If the switch is in the “REPLACE BATTERIES” position, the unit cannot be turned on.

•Check or replace the operating batteries, even if you have just replaced the batteries. It is possible that the batteries were not fresh when you purchased them.

•Press the RESET switch. If the unit has been dropped, for example, it may have to be reset. This will not delete your data. If for any reason data is missing after resetting the unit, it was lost before you pressed the RESET switch. The RESET switch simply re-starts the unit.

If none of the procedures above works, you will need to send the unit to a service center. Check the back page of this operation manual for the location of your nearest service center and call for more information.

Q:What happens if I am working on an entry and the auto power off

function shuts off the unit before I store the entry?

A:You will not lose any information. The next time you turn the unit on, the Resume feature returns you to exactly where you left off.

Q:I would like to use the Filer feature but I am afraid of using up memory. How does the Filer work? Does it make a copy of each entry?

A:No. When you assign an entry to a folder in the Filer, it does not use up any extra memory. The unit doesn’t actually make a copy of the entry, it simply “assigns” the entry to a folder. Entries are still stored in each individual application (Tel, Notebook, etc.). The Filer is a great way to organize your information and there is no reason not to use it.

Q:I have an older model 8000 Series 256K Organizer that was about 99% full. When I loaded all of the data into my new unit (/Q-8920) and checked the memory, it read about 65% full. I expected it to read about

50% full. What happened?

A:This unit uses memory differently to other SHARP Organizers, providing many more features, formatting capabilities, etc., which require more memory. Importing data from another type of unit will require more memory on this unit. This amount will vary depending on the number and type of records you import.
