128K Electronic Organizer
(650-0841)                 Data Transfer              Faxback Doc. # 17665

The EC-359 can send records to and receive records from another EC-359.

You can send or receive any of the following types of records.

    Telephone/Business Card

    Notes

    Schedule Reminder

    Expense

You can transfer either all records stored in a record type, or only those
records that were stored since the last time you transferred records.

The receiving EC-359 stores transferred records within the same record 
type.  For example, when you transfer a telephone/business card record, 
the receiving EC-359 automatically stores the record with its own 
telephone/business card records.

CAUTION:  The EC-359 consumes more battery power than normal when it
          transfers records.  If you transfer a record or records
          containing more than about 3,192 bytes all at once, the main
          power battery might drain too quickly and the EC-359 might stop
          working.

To save battery power and for maximum battery life, count the number of 
bytes in the records you want to transfer (see "Memory Capacity"), and 
transfer fewer than 3,192 bytes at a time.

PREPARATION

To prepare both EC-359s for data transfer, place the sending organizer on
the right and upside down and the receiving organizer on the left. Covering
the organizers might help if there are bright florescent lights in the
area.

CAUTION:  Be careful not to move either organizer while transferring 
          records.

    PROGRESS PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT.  The sending EC-359 displays TRANSFER
    SENDING (CARD FILE, NOTES, SCHEDULE or EXPENSES) IN PROGRESS PLEASE
    WAIT A MOMENT.

    When the transfer is complete, the sending EC-359 displays TRANSFER

        If the receiving EC-359 displays MEMORY FULL, there is not enough
        memory to store the records transmitted by the sending EC-359.
        Delete some records from the receiving EC-359 and try again.

        If you transfer records from the sending EC-359 that are identical
        to the records already stored in the receiving EC-359, the
        receiving EC-359 stores the duplicated records.
