e-DATA MEMORY

You can use the watch’s e-DATA MEMORY to store e-mail
addresses, Web page URLs, and other text data.

All of the operations in this section are performed in the
e-DATA MEMORY Mode, which you enter by pressing

C

.

e-DATA MEMORY Management

e-DATA MEMORY can hold up to 315 characters total,
while each record can contain up to 63 characters. The
maximum number of records depends on the number of
characters per record, as shown below.

63 characters per record: 5 records

7 or fewer characters per record: 40 records

To create a new e-DATA MEMORY record

1. In the e-DATA MEMORY Mode, press 

D

 and 

B

 at the

same time to display the remaining memory screen.

If 

0

 % is shown for remaining memory, it means that

memory is full. To store another record, you will first
have to delete some of the records stored in memory.

2. Hold down 

A

 until the flashing cursor (

#

) appears on

the display, which indicates the setting screen.

The setting screen also shows the record number that
is automatically assigned to the new record.

3. Input the text you want.

When inputting the text, use 

D

 (+) and 

B

 (–) to

cycle through characters at the current cursor
location, and 

C

 to move the cursor to the right. See

“Inputting Text”.

4. Press

 to store your data and return to the e-DATA MEMORY record screen

 causes the message 

SET

 

to appear for about two seconds as the data

is stored. After that, the e-DATA MEMORY record screen appears.

The text can show only three characters at a time, so longer text scrolls continuously
from right to left. The last character is indicated by the symbol 

s

 

after it. Press 

A

 to

stop and restart scrolling.

Records are stored in memory in the sequence they are created.
