Getting to Know Your Organizer

OZ-770 is a compact yet sophisticated information management device that you can use anytime. 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 even transfer your notes, letters and memos onto a PC for further processing.

Applications

Operations on the Organizer are performed using applications. The Organizerís Calendar and Schedule, for example, are applications that record and display time related information. To start an application, select the application in the Main Menus or press the Application keys on the left of the screen (Main / Tel / Schedule / Memo / My Programs).

When working in one application, you can switch to another application simply by pressing that application key (Main / Tel / Schedule / Memo / My Programs only). Data being processed in the first application will be kept, even if the entry is not complete.

Pop-up menus

The Organizerís pop-up menus offer a convenient and efficient method of selecting options from pre-defined lists, similar to many of the latest personal computer application software packages. Most applications and functions contain some pop- up fields. When the user moves to one of these fields, the pop- up symbol appears on the right of the field. Pressing causes the pop-up menu to appear, containing a list of options or values currently available for that field. You can then select the desired item from the list without having to type any text.

In addition, all date fields function as pop-up fields. Where a

date can be entered, the user can press to display the special pop-up one-month calendar. You can use and to select the desired month, then the arrow keys to select the desired date. You may find this more convenient than typing in the date directly, since the pop-up calendar also shows the days of the week.
