SPT 1550 Series Product Reference Guide

Memo Pad Tips

If you cannot manually arrange the order of the memos in the List screen, check the Memo
Preferences setting. Make sure that Sort by is set to Manual.

If you choose to view your memos alphabetically on Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop and
then perform a HotSync operation, the memos on your SPT 1550 terminal still appear in
the order defined in the Memo Preferences setting. In other words, the sort settings that
you use with Symbol Palm Terminal Desktop

are not

transferred to your SPT 1550 terminal.

Date Book Tips

In the Week View, you cannot select overlapping events that have the same start time. If
you have two or more events with the same start time, choose the Day View for the
particular day to see the overlapping events.
