A densely written paper sheet will take up more memory space
than a half empty one.

3.4 Modifying notes

Press the

Page Up

button to browse to previous sheets to make

corrections or additional notes.

You may turn back several sheets at a time to check earlier
notes. However, if you want to make additions on a particular

sheet, you must synchronize the page counter by repeatedly pressing
the

Page Up

button until the page counter indicates the same number

as the one you have marked on the sheet itself. Press the

Page Down

button to continue working on the sheet with your most recent notes.

Press the

Page Down

button after browsing previous sheets on your

notepad. This will return the digital page record to the sheet with your
most recent notes.

3.5 Deleting pages

Pressing the

Delete

button equals tearing off or crossing out a paper

sheet of the notepad.

After pressing the Delete button a security warning will
appear on the LCD screen.

Press

to confirm the operation

Press

to cancel and return to note taking mode

Be very prudent not to push the Delete button accidentally, as

the contents of an erased digital page in memory can not be
recovered, and page number synchronization may become corrupt!

Although deleting pages using the

Delete

button will free up

memory space, this method is mainly provided as an emergency
option. It is recommended to use the Digital Organizer software that
comes with the G-Note 5000 to delete pages from memory after
download to a PC.

3.6 Configuring your G-Note

The G-Note is designed to be used in a wide variety of applications and
environments. With its built-in menus you can easily configure the G-Note 5000
to your specific needs. The menus will allow you, for instance, to change the
paper orientation from portrait to landscape, start a new workbook, or adjust
battery power saving options.

Accessing the main menu

You can access the main menu anytime while taking notes by shortly pressing
the

Power

button on the front panel. The main menu will appear on the

LCD display. By pressing the

or the

function buttons on the front panel

you can select one of the following four menus:

Rotate

: This menu allows you to adjust the paper orientation from

portrait to landscape or even use the G-Note 5000 upside down.

Workbook

: Start a new workbook (e.g. at the start of a new

meeting), or after changing a paper pad.

Workbook

Format disk

: Use this option to format the flash

memory and erase all of its content.

Suspend

: You can significantly prolong battery life by adjusting the

auto shut-down timer of the G-Note 5000.

Status

: This option lets you check the status of the batteries or the

amount of memory space left for recording notes.
