3. Using the data transfer function
Your Organizer is a powerful pocketsize computer with built-in functions
that make it possible to accomplish a broad range of tasks. It has the
flexibility to connect to other Organizers and transfer data to desktop
computers using data transfer facilities, which are accessed through the
application menu. This chapter provides descriptions and examples to
get you up and running quickly with these powerful features.
Exchanging Information with a Personal Computer
Using included Organizer Link software (Day-Timer Organizer
SHARP Edition) and cable (Docking Module), you can exchange data
with a personal computer. This makes it possible, for example, to use
the unit when outside your home or office, then later transfer the data
you have entered on the Organizer to your desktop computer.
To setup the Organizer for use with the Organizer Link:
1. Make sure the unit is turned off.
2. For PC Interface cable transfer, plug the Organizer into the Dock-
ing Module. (See the "Quick Start Guide" for details.)
3. Plug the cable into the jack on the OZ/ZQ-770 and into the PC’s
serial port (e.g. COM1)
4. Turn on OZ/ZQ-770, press [ 2nd ] [ MENU ] to activate the PC-LINK.
Your Organizer is now ready to transfer data. Consult the Day-timer
Organizer SHARP Edition HELP file regarding subsequent transfer pro-
cedures.
Press [ O | ] at any time to exit the PC-Link mode. If you leave the
Organizer in PC Link mode, more power is consumed from the batter-
ies than usual, and the auto power off function does not work.
To conserve battery power, always press [
O
| ] to leave the PC Link
mode as soon as you have finished transferring data.
