Getting to Know Your Organizer

The OZ-5600 Organizer is a compact yet sophisticated information management device that you can use anytime, anywhere. Its applications and utilities allow you to enter and organize information, and it has powerful communications facilities that enable you to put that information to optimum use when you return to your home or office. You can quickly update your computerized mailing lists, for example, or print out your weekly schedule, or even transfer your notes, letters and memos onto a PC for further processing. The OZ-5600 even has its own word processor that allows you to create finished documents for printing out later.

Menu operations

Another powerful aspect of using the Organizer is its menu system, which can be used to quickly issue commands and perform operations. Two universal menus, PREFERENCES and TOOLS, are available from all applications. In addition, all applications have a menu for functions and commands that are specific to each application.

Pressing MENU once displays the application menu, which contains the operations and commands specific to the particular application. Pressing MENU successively displays the PREFERENCES, TOOLS and PERIPHERALS menus.

Applications

Operations on the Organizer are performed using applications. The Organizer’s Calendar and Schedule, for example, are applications that record and display time- related information. To start an application, press the corresponding key on the top of the keyboard.
