e-DATA MEMORY

You can use the watch’s e-DATA MEMORY to store e-mail
addresses, Web page URLs, and other text data. You can
store up to 100 records, and even use a password to limit
access to e-DATA MEMORY contents.

You can input up to 63 characters for the text of each
record.

Records are stored in alphabetical order. See “Character
List” for details on how the watch sorts records.

All of the operations in this section are performed in the
e-DATA MEMORY Mode, which you can enter from the
Mode Menu screen.

If

 appears when you try to enter the

e-DATA MEMORY Mode, perform the procedure under

Using a Password to Protect e-DATA MEMORY Data

You can register a 4-digit password to keep e-DATA MEMORY data secure.

Important!

Use a 4-digit password that is easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to
decipher. If you forget the password, you will have to have your watch initialized (which
returns all time settings to their initial factory defaults) in order to access the e-DATA
MEMORY again. To have the watch initialized, contact the store or dealer where you
purchased it, and ask to have the AC operation performed.
