Sharp IQ-8920, IQ-8900 manual

Operations on the unit are performed using “applications.” The unit’s Calendar and Schedule, for example, are applications-they perform an operation and accomplish a task based on your directions. To open an application, select it by pressing the appropriate key on the left of the display.

When working in one application, you can switch to another application simply by pressing that application key. Data being processed in the first application will, in most cases, be preserved and the operation can be completed when the application is selected again. In cases when an operation or procedure cannot be completed, a warning message will indicate this and give you the option of remaining in the application.

MenuAnother powerful aspect of the unit’s graphical user

operation interface is its system of menus, which can be used to quickly execute commands and perform operations. With the exception of the Clock, two “universal” menus- PERIPHERALS and TOOLS - can be accessed from any application. In addition, except for the Clock, all applications have VIEWS and MODIFY menus, with specific functions and selections that are unique to each application.

To change the display view, touch I=[ and select the desired view from the menu. To modify entries, for example to delete one or several entries, touch -1 and select the desired operation. When you want to perform an operation in another menu, you can move between the four menus (PERIPHERALS and TOOLS, VIEWS and MODIFY) using the m and m keys.
