EC-364 (650-0833) Data Communication Faxback Doc. # 3622
Data Communication Cable (Cat. No. 65-137, available at CMC) is available
as an option. You can use this to connect Secret Sender to another Secret
Sender unit, or to an EC-363 (Cat. No. 65-832). Data can be shared among
these products.
Data Type How received data is stored
Telephone Directory
Data Memo "Diary" Appended to existing data.
Schedule
Calendar Replaces existing data. If a received
month has no highlighting, the
highlighting data in the receiving unit
is retained as is.
Important!
Another product with which Secret Sender can exchange data may use
different icons, or may not have a Fun Face Maker function. When you send
Secret Sender data to one of these units, icon and Fun Face Maker data are
not sent.
Basic hardware set-up for data communication:
1. Switch off the power of both the sending and receiving units.
2. Remove the connector covers of both units.
3. Connect the two units with a Data Communication Cable. Be sure to
insert the connectors at the ends of the cable securely into the
units.
4. Switch on the power of both the sending and receiving units.

1. On the unit intended for reception, while in the main menu or a data
display, press FUNCTION. Then use DOWN ARROW to highlight
"Communication." Press EXE.
2. Use the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to highlight "Receive Data."
Press EXE.
About the "Set-up" Menu Item
You will probably notice that the menu appears on the display after you
select "Communication" from the function menu and press EXE. The "Set-up"
item contained in that menu is used for setting the parameters of the
Secret Sender. Note that the parameters should always be set to "None"
(Parity) and "9600" (BPS) for data communication between two units.
Sending Data for a Specific Mode
You can send either a single data item (the smallest packet of data which
can be sent in the Calendar Mode, for example, is a single month), or all
