EC-289 3K Electronic Organizer w/Executive Paper Planner
(650-0741)                Memo/Alert                  Faxback Doc. # 47713

Use the memo/alert file to record appointments and to set reminder alarms.
When the reminder alarm is turned on, the EC-289 beeps for 1 minute and
displays the associated reminder record at the set reminder time.  Press
any key to silence the alarm sooner.

Notes:  If the EC-289 is off when the alarm sounds, it turns on and
        displays the reminder record.

        The EC-289 displays only 12 characters per line at a time.  If (>)
        or (<) appears at the end of the memo line, press [FWD >] or
        [REV <] to view the characters that have scrolled off the display.
        Hold down [FWD >] or [REV <] to scroll rapidly.

ENTERING MEMO/ALERT RECORDS

1.  Press [ENTER].

2.  Press [ANNIVERSARIES & MEMO/ALERTS].   TYPE MEMO appears.

3.  Enter the memo (up to 64 characters) you want displayed when the
    reminder alarm sounds (you must enter at least one character.)

4.  Press [RETURN <-].  MM-DD-YY and HH:MM A-P appear below DATE/TIME.

5.  Enter the date of the scheduled event and press [RETURN <-].

    Note:  If you enter an invalid date, such as 12-38-98, when you press
           [RETURN <-], MM-DD-YY reappears.  Repeat Step 5.

6.  Enter the time of the event.  Be sure to press A for AM or P for PM.

    You must enter two digits each for the month, date, year, hour, and
    minute.  For example, to enter June 14, 1998, 1:15 in the afternoon,
    type 061498 for the date and 0115 for the time followed by a P (for
    PM).

7.  Press [RETURN <-].  ALARM and the stored date and time of the
    scheduled event appear.

    Note:  If you enter an invalid time, such as 10:75, when you Press
           [RETURN <-], HH:MM A-P reappears.  Repeat Steps 6 and 7.

8.  If you want the alarm to sound at the even date and time, Press
    [RETURN <-] twice to turn on the reminder alarm and store the
    memo/alert record.

    If you want the alarm to sound on the event date but at a different
    time (for example, a few minutes before a scheduled meeting), press
    [RETURN <-], enter the alarm time, then press [RETURN <-] again to
    turn on the reminder alarm and store the memo/alert record.

    If you want the alarm to sound on a different date (for example, the
    day before a scheduled flight), enter the alarm date, press
    [RETURN <-], then change the time if needed and press [RETURN <-]
    again.

Repeat Steps 3-8 for each memo/alert record you want to store.

RECALLING MEMO/ALERT RECORDS

Memo/Alert records are stored in order by date and time.  To find a
specific record, press [ANNIVERSARIES & MEMO/ALERTS].  The EC-289 displays
the first record with a date that matches the current date, or the next
record in date order.

Press [PREV /\] to scroll backward or [NEXT \/] to scroll forward through
the records.  Hold down [PREV /\] or [NEXT \/] to scroll rapidly.

EDITING MEMO/ALERT RECORDS

Note:  If you make a mistake when editing or if you want to abort editing,
       simply press [ANNIVERSARIES & MEMO ALERTS] and start over again at
       Step 1.

1.  Recall the memo/alert record you want to edit.

2.  Press [EDIT <-].

    If you do not want to change anything in the memo line, press
    [RETURN <-] to move the cursor to the line you want to edit and skip
    to Step 6.

3.  Press [FWD >] or [REV <] to move to the character you want to change.

4.  To delete a character, press [DELETE []].

    To delete the character to the left of the cursor, press [EDIT <-].

    To insert characters, simply enter the characters.

5.  To move to the event date line, press [RETURN <-].

6.  Press [FWD >] or [REV <] to move to the digit you want to change, then
    type over the existing digit(s), as needed.

7.  Repeat Steps 5 and 6 to edit the event time, alarm date, alarm time
    lines.

8.  From the alarm time line, press [RETURN <-] to save your
    corrections.

DELETING MEMO/ALERT RECORDS

1.  Recall the memo/alert record you want to delete.

2.  Press [DELETE []].  DELETE? Y/N appears.

3.  Press [Y] (yes) to delete the record.

    Otherwise, press [N] (no).  The record remains unchanged.

DAILY ALARM

You can set the EC-289 to sound an alarm at the same time every day.  When
the daily alarm is turned on, the EC-289 beeps for 1 minute at the set
alarm time.  Press any key to silence the alarm sooner.

Note:  If the EC-289 is off when the daily alarm sounds, it turns on and
       displays the day, date, and time.

Follow these steps to set the daily alarm time and turn on the alarm.

1.  Press [ENTER].

2.  Press [DAY/DATE & DAILY ALARM] twice.  DAILY ALARM and HH:MM A-P
    appear.

3.  Enter the daily alarm time.  Be sure to press [A] for AM or [P] for
    PM.

    Notes:  To enter a single digit (1-9), press [0] first.  For example,
            to enter 8, press [0] then [8].

            If you make a mistake when entering the time, you can press
            [FWD >] or [REV <] to move to the digit you want to correct,
            then type the correct time.  Or, simply start over again at
            Step 1.

4.  Press [RETURN <-] to store the alarm time.  (Bell Symbol) appears
    (along with the current day, date, and time) to show that the alarm is
    turned on.

    Note:  If you enter an invalid time, such as 10:75, when you press
            [RETURN <-], HH:MM A-P reappears.  Repeat Steps 3 and 4.

To turn off the daily alarm so the EC-289 does not sound, repeatedly press
[DAY/DATE & DAILY ALARM] until DAILY ALARM and the set alarm time appear.
Then press [A].  (Bell Symbol) disappears.  To turn the dial alarm back
on, press [A] again.

CALCULATOR

To use your EC-289's calculator feature, press [CALCULATOR C/CE].
CALC appears.

The EC-289 performs standard arithmetic calculations.  Simply press the
numbers and operators in the order they appear in the arithmetic
operation.

For squared calculations, simply press the number you want to square, [x],
then [SPACE].

For example, to calculate 4^2:

You Press                   You See

[4] [x] [=]                    16.

ENTRY ERRORS

If you enter an incorrect value, press [CALCULATOR C/CE] once.  Then enter
the correct value and continue your calculation.

If you press an incorrect operator (+, -, x, /), simply press the correct
key and continue your calculation.

To clear the display for a new calculation, press [CALCULATOR C/CE] twice
so 0. appears, then begin the new calculation.

ERROR MESSAGE

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").

    You try to divide by 0.

If this happens, press [CALCULATOR C/CE] twice to clear the display.

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 estimated answer is
12,35,678,910.  If the EC-289 displays E 98.53893456, the estimated answer
is 985,389,345,600.
