TRANSFERRING DATA BETWEEN ORGANIZERS

NOTES:

   You must first prepare the receiving unit to accept data and then
   immediately transmit data from the transmitting unit.

   All tranmitted data is stored in the receiving unit only if memory
   space is available.  Data transfer does not overwrite previously stored
   records.

   Do not move the directories during data transfer.  If you do, the data
   transmission might be interrupted and data transmitted will not be
   stored.  ERROR appears in the receiving unit's display.

   To transmit data, place the two units next to each other, about 1/4 to
   1/2 inch apart.  The IR TRANSMIT window on the sending unit should be
   aligned with the IR RECEIVE window on the receiving unit.

Follow these steps to transmit data.

1.  Place the transmitting unit on the right and the receiving unit on the
    left.

2.  On the transmitting unit, press PHONE, SCHED, MEMO, or TODO to select
    the data you want to transmit.

    NOTE:  All records from the selected area will be transmitted.  To
           transmit an individual record, press SEARCH and down arrow to
           recall the desired record.

3.  On the transmitting unit, press LINK.TX.RX.?  (T/R) appears.

4.  On the receiving unit, press the button to select the same mode
    (PHONE, SCHED, MEMO, TODO) you chose in Step 2.

5.  On the receiving unit, press LINK.TX.RX.?  (T/R) appears.

6.  On the receiving unit, press R.1.IR.  2.CABLE appears.

7.  On the receiving unit, press 1 for infrared transmission.  RECEIVING
    appears.

8.  On the sending unit, press T to start the transmission.  TRANSMIT...
    appears on the display while the unit is transmitting.

    If there is a delay of more than 8 seconds, the receiving unit
    displays ERROR for 2 seconds.

To cancel the transmission, press C/CE on the transmitting unit.


TRANSFERRING DATA TO A COMPUTER
You can transfer data from your organizer to a computer by plugging a
PC Link cable (available through Radio Shack Unlimited) to the PC PORT
hole on the organizer and connecting the cable's other end to the
computer.

1.  Load the PC Link software onto your computer according to the
    PC Link's Owner's Manual.

2.  Press PHONE, SCHED, MEMO, or TODO on the organizer to select the data
    you want to transmit.

    NOTE:  To transmit an individual record, press SEARCH down arrow to
           recall the desired record.

3.  Follow the directions in the PC Link's Owners Manual to specify the
    serial port used to connect the computer and organizer, and select the
    same mode (PHONE, SCHED, MEMO or TODO) that you selected on the
    organizer.

4.  Press LINK.TX.RX.?  (T/R) appears.

5.  Press T to start the transmission.  TRANSMIT... appears on the display
    while the unit is transmitting.

To cancel the transmission, press C/CE.


TRANSFERRING DATA FROM A COMPUTER

    PC Link's Owner's Manual.

    serial port used to connect the computer and organizer, and select the
    data you want to transmit.

On most CPUs a 9-25 pin adapter as well as a 9-9 Null Modem Adapter which
fits on a Datalink cable is needed.  The software automatically configures
to a Series B type of organizer while the EC-379 is a Series A type.  For
higher speed modems you may receive errors.  Therefore, from DOS, type the
following command--

   C:MODE COM1:2400,N,8,1

This will allow the Datalink to respond.  Make sure it is connected to the
correct COM port.  If you are on COM2, replace the MODE COM1 with
MODE COM2, etc.
