Transferring between OZ-5500 Organizers

Data can be transferred directly between two OZ-5500 Organizers via the infrared port. Single entries or all the entries in an application can be transferred in the Schedule, To Do, Ann, Memo, Money Tracking and Outline applications; and single entries or all the entries in a file can be transferred in the Tel and User File applications.

The transfer procedure differs according to whether single entries or complete files are to be transferred.

Press ON at any time to interrupt and cancel a transfer.

After a transfer, the display returns to the application being used before the transfer procedure was begun.

Data received from another Organizer is automatically assigned to the Organizer’s IN BOX so that it can be checked before being moved to the appropriate application (except Money Tracking data, which is stored directly in the Money Tracking files).

In the Tel or User File applications, the contents of fields that have not been set up in the receiving file cannot be transferred. Also, if the type of a field is different in the two units, the information cannot be transferred.

No peripheral devices are required to transfer data via the infrared port. However, infrared transfers are easily affected by ambient conditions which may interfere with this type of transfer. Connecting the two units directly using the optional CE-315L cable will ensure a more reliable transfer. See p.176.

Initial set-up

There is no special hardware set-up involved in infrared transfers. And if you only want to transfer single entries using GET and SEND , there is no software set-up either: all you have to do initially is set up the units properly so they use the same path (step 4 below). For all other infrared transfers, follow the procedure below.

1.Press MENU four times on both units to open the PERIPHERALS menu.

2.Select SET UNIT TO UNIT PATH and press ENTER . A submenu opens.

3. Select VIA INFRARED PORT and press ENTER .

4. Place the two Organizers so that their infrared ports are acing each other and are no more than 80 cm apart.
