Please be sure you understand the following before using My Magic Diary.

Make back-up copies of important data!

You should always keep written back-up copies of important data.  The
electronic memory in My Magic Diary stores and recalls information quickly
and easily.  But that information is retained only as long as power is
supplied by the batteries.  Should the batteries go dead, or should you
remove both batteries at the same time, data stored in memory can be lost
entirely.  Data can also be corrupted or lost due to a strong
electrostatic charge, strong impact, or extremes in temperature and
humidity.

General Precautions

Warnings:  Never expose the unit or batteries to direct heat or flame.

           Avoid use or storage in very low temperatures.  This may cause
           display response to slow down or fail entirely.  Very low
           temperatures can also shorten battery life.

           Avoid use or storage in very high temperatures.  Even prolonged
           exposure to direct sunlight can damage the unit.  Leaving it on
           the dashboard of a closed car, or on a heater, is even worse.

           Avoid using or storing the unit where there is high humidity or
           a lot of dust.  Never allow liquids to come into contact with
           the unit.

           Avoid dropping the unit or otherwise subjecting it to a strong
           impact.

           Never bend or twist the unit.  Carrying it in your back pocket,
           for instance, can subject My Magic Diary to abnormal bending
           and twisting.

           Never try to take the unit apart.

           Do not press the unit's keys with a pen, pencil or other sharp
           object.

           To clean My Magic Diary, wipe it with a soft cloth.  When
           necessary, you may wipe the exterior with a soft cloth that has
           been dipped in a weak solution of a mild, neutral detergent and
           water.

           Never use strong liquid cleaners such as lacquer thinner or
           benzine to clean the unit.

           Tandy Corporation assumes no responsibility for any loss or
           claims by third parties that might arise through the use of
           this data bank, or for any damages incurred as a result of
           information loss due to malfunctions, repairs, battery
           replacement, or misuse.  You should maintain physical records
           of important information to protect against such loss.

Reset Operations

You can perform two types of resets:

    All-reset operation deletes all data in memory.

    Secret-reset operation deletes only your password and the data in the
    Secret Memory Area.

Important!  Do not use a very sharp pencil to press RESET. Doing so can
            damage the My Magic Diary.

            Be sure to perform the all-reset operation before you use My
            Magic Diary for the first time.
