       your EC-377 automatically returns to the date and time display.

        fifth month of the year (May), press 0 then 5.

If you enter invalid digits (for example, 32 for the day), the organizer
flashes the first letter again after you enter the setting.

STORAGE CAPACITY

All records share the same memory.  Each letter, number, space or other
character you store uses 1 memory unit. For example, the word COMPANY has 7
letters and therefore uses 7 units. Your EC-377 can store a total of 128,214
units of information in the Card File, Confidential File, To Do List & Sche-
dule, and Daily Alarms.  This overall storage capacity includes some memory
overhead for each file.  The overhead amount varies with the file type.

To view the amount of memory remaining, press CARD FILE.  The organizer
displays the number of available memory units for all functions.

         TYPE IN THE NAME OF
         A PERSON OR COMPANY
       NO. OF CARD FILES      0
       MEMORY USED            0
       MEMORY AVAILABLE  128214

NOTES:  As the amount of memory units available decreases, your EC-377
        takes longer to store files.

        If enough storage space is not available to store another record,
        the organizer displays:

         MEMORY IS FULL!

           TO CONTINUE,
       PRESS ANY MODE KEY

You must delete outdated records to free additional storage space.  See
"Deleting a Record" on Faxback Doc. # 35211.

DATA ENTRY TIPS

  Use Card File to store contacts' names, company names, phone numbers, fax
  numbers, addresses, and any additional information.

  Your EC-377 sorts and recalls records by the first few characters in the
  person's/company's name.  If you want to recall records in alphabetical
  order by last name, enter the person's last name first.

  Use Confidential File to store data you want to keep private.

  Use Daily Alarms to set an alarm to sound daily or on a particular day.

  Use To Do List & Schedule to record appointments and special events, and
  set an alarm to sound as a reminder.

  Using abbreviations lets you store more files.

  Press SPACE to enter a space.

  Press EDIT/BKSP to erase the last character entered.

  Press RETURN to start a new line.

  You can enter a hyphen (-), (#), or (*) in the phone and fax numbers, as
  necessary.

USING THE CURSOR/ARROW KEYS

The flashing "-" on the screen is called a "cursor." The cursor shows where
the next character typed will appear.

       HOWARD_
       COMPANY NAME
       TEL#
       FAX#
       ADDRESS-CITY-STATE-ZIP
       AND ADDITIONAL INFO.

NOTE:  Hold down an arrow key to move the cursor rapidly.

       When no cursor appears on the display, use these same keys to move
       through the records.

Press NEXT to move forward through a record one screen at a time, and LAST
