you want. When the schedule alarm is turned on, the organizer beeps for
1 minute at the set alarm time, and displays the stored message, date and
time. Press any key to silence the alarm sooner.
Notes: Because pressing any key turns off the alarm, the schedule alarm
might not sound (and the message might not appear) if you are
entering information precisely at the set schedule alarm time.
If the schedule alarm sounds and the alarm message appears while
you are entering information, the information you entered might
not be stored.
If the organizer has turned off and the information you have
entered is protected by a security code, the schedule alarm sounds

the schedule alarm records.

USING THE SECURITY CODE
The security code lets you block unauthorized access to directory records
and Schedule alarm records.
Once you set the security code, all the records are locked. You must
enter the code before you can enter or recall a record.
Note: The organizer automatically turns itself off if you do not press a
key for about 4 minutes. Even if you selected a record before the
organizer turned off, you must enter your security code to access
that record again.
SETTING THE SECURITY CODE
1. Press [clock symbol].
2. Press the key below [key symbol]. ---- and LOCK appear.
3. Enter a four digit security code.
CAUTIONS: Be sure to use a code you can remember such as your mother's
birthday. You can also write it down in a safe place. If
you forget the security code, you cannot access your
directory or schedule alarm records. All you can do is
clear the code along with all your stored information (see
"Clearing the Organizer's Memory" in Faxback Doc. # 46686).
Be careful when setting the security code. If you
accidentally enter a number that is not what you want to
use, you must finish these steps to store the incorrect
number, then follow the procedure to change it. If this
happens, write down the 4 digit code you entered and see
"Changing the Security Code" below.
4. Press [Enter]. The current date and time appear, along with [key
symbol] showing that all directory and schedule alarm records are
locked.
[key symbol] appears during all functions to remind you that your records
are locked. When you press [telephone symbol] or [schedule symbol] after
setting the security code, LOCKED and ---- appear. You must enter the
correct code and press [Enter] to access your directory or schedule alarm
records.
CHANGING THE SECURITY CODE
1. Press [clock symbol].
2. Press the key below [key symbol]. ---- and LOCKED appear.
3. Enter the current security code and press [Enter]. LOCK and --- appear
and (key symbol) disappears.
4. Enter a new four digit code.
5. Press [Enter] to store the security code. (key symbol) reappears.
CANCELING THE SECURITY CODE
1. Press [clock symbol].
2. Press the key below [key symbol]. ---- and LOCKED appear.
3. Enter the current security code and press [Enter]. LOCK and --- appear
and (key symbol) disappears.
4. Press [clock symbol] again. The security code is canceled and all
records are unlocked.
USING THE CALCULATOR
Press [calculator symbol]. CALCULATOR and 0. appear.
For standard calculations, press the numbers and operators in the order
they appear in the arithmetic operation.
Notes: To enter an operator (+, -, x, /, or =), press the key below that
symbol on the keypad.
To enter a decimal, press [Z.].
For example:
You Press You See
3 + 4 = 7.
8 x 3 - 4 = 20.
6 / 2 = 3.
CORRECTING ENTRY ERRORS
If you enter an incorrect value, press [calculator symbol] once. Then
enter the correct value and continue your calculation.
To clear the display for a new calculation, press [calculator symbol]
twice so 0. appears, then begin the new calculation.
If you press an incorrect operator key, simply press the correct key and
continue your calculation.
CALCULATION ERRORS
(E) appears to the left of the numbers when:
A calculation result exceeds 10 digits to the left of the decimal
point. This is an overflow error (see "Estimating Calculation
Results", below).
You try to divide by 0.
If (E) appears, press [calculator symbol] to clear the error.
ESTIMATING CALCULATION RESULTS
If you perform an operation that results in an overflow error, you can
estimate the correct result (to 10 significant digits) by following these
steps.
1. Count the number of digits displayed to the left of the decimal point.
2. Remove the decimal point.
3. Add as many zeros to the right of the number as there were digits to
the left of the decimal point.
For example, If E 1.234567891 appears, the approximate answer is
12,345,678,910. If E 98.53893456 appears, the approximate answer is
985,389,345,600.
USING THE CURRENCY CONVERTER
You can set the exchange rate for two currencies and convert amounts
between those two currencies.
SETTING THE EXCHANGE RATE
1. Press [calculator symbol]. CALCULATOR and 0. appear.
2. Enter the amount of the secondary currency that is equal to 1 unit of
the primary currency.
For example, if the primary currency is the U.S. dollar and the
secondary currency is the Mexican peso, and if it takes about 7.5
pesos to equal $1.00, enter an exchange rate of 7.5.
Note: If you enter an incorrect value, press [calculator symbol] once.
Then enter the correct value.
3. Press the key below $ to store the exchange rate.

amount of the primary currency equal to the amount of the secondary
currency you entered.
Enter Amount Enter Function Result
