Turning the Organizer on and off

Press ON to turn the power on and OFF to turn the power off. The Organizer will not operate if the battery replacement switch is in the REPLACE BATTERIES position.

Auto power off

To conserve battery power, the Organizer will turn itself off if it has not been used for about 12 consecutive minutes. However, in order to avoid accidentally interrupting data transfers, the auto power-off function is disabled while communicating with other devices.

If the Organizer’s power goes off automatically before an entry you have been working with is stored in an application, the data will not be lost. When you press ON , the Organizer will return to the same operating state as before the power turned off automatically.

Backlight

The Organizer provides a built-in Backlight, which allows you to view the display and use the Organizer even in low- light conditions, eg. in a theater, restaurant, or business presentation. Pressing BACKLIGHT once illuminates the display for around 15 seconds. When already on, press

BACKLIGHT again to turn it off.

If you press 2nd BACKLIGHT , the Backlight will remain on for as long as you continue to use the Organizer, until you have not typed any key for 15 seconds. This is useful if you want to enter or access some information that will take longer than 15 seconds.

The Backlight will not function during the following conditions:

∙When PC-Link mode is active

∙During data transfer

∙During printing

∙When the battery level is very low.

☞Do not use the Backlight unnecessarily.

∙Since the Backlight drains power from the operation batteries, excessive use of the Backlight will significantly reduce your battery life.

∙Continuous use of the Backlight will, over time, lead to gradual loss of brightness.

If the Backlight is on for 10 minutes per day (e.g. 15 seconds 40 times a day), the brightness will be

reduced by half after 10* years (at an ambient temperature of 23°C and 65% humidity).

*This figure may vary depending on the surrounding environment.
