Card File Transfer

You can transfer card file records between two EC-382s or between an EC-382
and a Rolodex compatible organizer, such as an EC-339 (Radio Shack Cat. No.
65-939),  EC-373 (Cat. No. 65-873) or EC-377 (Cat. No. 65-877).

Notes: You can transfer file records from an EC-339 to your EC-382, but you
       cannot transfer from your EC-382 to an EC-339.

       For file transfer between an EC-382 and an EC-339, the transferred
       information's spacing might change because the corresponding record
       field lengths are not the same.

       For file transfer from an EC-377 to your EC-382, only the first 55
       lines of each record can be transferred.

       Your organizer's display might dim during the transfer but it returns
       to normal after you complete the transfer.

       If all the characters of a record in the sending unit match those of
       one in the receiving unit, the record is stored as a copy.

       All of the file records might not transfer completely if the receiv-
       ing unit does not have enough available memory to store all of the
       files from the sending unit.

       If the receiving unit's available memory is less than 1K, NOT ENOUGH
       MEMORY FOR INFRARED OPERATION appears.

       When BATTERIES TOO LOW FOR INFRARED FUNCTIONS appears, replace the
       batteries before you transfer card file records.

The following instructions refer to keys and displays on this EC-382. The
keys and displays for other organizers differ slightly.  See the owner's
manuals for those organizers.

Transferring All or New Records

You can transfer all card file records, or just those you have added since
the last transfer.

1.  Place the sending unit on the right and the receiving unit on the left
    in close proximity to one another with their "transmit" and "receive"
    windows aligned so that information can be sent and received from one
    unit to the other.
   
2.  On the receiving unit, press CARD FILE, then -))) RECEIVE.

3.  On the sending unit, press CARD FILE, then (((- COPY TO.  You see:

              1. A ROLODEX PRODUCT
                 FROM LIST "A"
              2. A ROLODEX PRODUCT
                 FROM LIST "B"

              TO CHOOSE, TYPE 1-2

Notes: List A represents products that include symbol characters in addition
       to the basic alphanumeric characters, and therefore have full file
       transfer capability.  The EC-382, EC-373 and EC-377 belong to this
       list.

       List B represents products in which symbol characters are not com-
       pletely compatible with infrared transfer.  When symbol characters
       are transferred from a List A product to a List B product, they
       appear as blank spaces.

4.  Press 1 to transfer to another EC-382, an EC-373, or an EC-377. Press 2
    to transfer to another compatible organizer.  You see:

        TYPE "A" TO TRANSFER
         ALL OF YOUR FILES
                OR
        TYPE "N" TO TRANSFER
         YOUR NEW FILES ONLY

5.  Press A (all) to send all records or N (new) to send only the records
    you have added since the last transfer.

    The records begin to transfer. FILES ARE BEING RECEIVED NOW PLEASE WAIT
    A MOMENT appears on the receiving unit's display.  FILE IS BEING COPIED
    AND TRANSFERRED appears on the sending unit's display.  When the trans-
    fer is complete, TRANSFER SUCCESSFUL? Y/N appears on the sending unit's
    display.

      If FILES ARE BEING SORTED PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT appears on the receiv-
      ing unit's display, press Y on the sending unit.

      If FILES DID NOT TRANSFER SUCCESSFULLY PLEASE TRY AGAIN appears on the
      receiving unit's display, press N on the sending unit.  Be sure the
      transmit and receive windows on the units are aligned, then try again.
      When the sending unit display prompts to transfer all the files or new
      files only, type N.  This prevents duplicate files from being trans-
      ferred and stored.

Notes:  If you transfer card file records that use more than 96K memory
        units, SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVED UP TO: (the person's name on the
        record) PRESS "R" TO CONTINUE RECEIVING REMAIN FILES OR PRESS "S"
        TO SKIP appears on the receiving unit's display.

        To continue, press R (receive) on the receiving unit, then repeat
        Steps 3-5.  (You might need to repeat this procedure several times.)
        To skip the remaining files, press S (skip).

        Since up to 1K of overhead memory is required for the file transfer,
        only 127K memory units of information can be transferred.  So, some
        card file records (up to 1K) might not transfer even after repeating
        this procedure several times. DATA ERROR! SOME OF THE FILES HAVE NOT
        BEEN STORED appears on the receiving unit's display.

        3. SPEED DIAL LIST
        TO CHOOSE, TYPE 1-3

4.  Press 1 to transfer to another EC-382, an EC-373 or an EC-377. Press 2
    to transfer to another compatible organizer.

5.  When the transfer is complete, TRANSFER SUCCESSFUL? Y/N appears on the
    sending unit's display.

    press Y on the sending unit.

    receiving unit's display, press N on the sending unit.  Be sure the
    transmit and receive windows on the units are aligned, then try again.
