AM
QuickPad's
Utilities
functions
appear
on
the left
of the
screen.
The
first
letter
of each
function
is
the
keyboard
command.
Date(D)
Pressing
"D"
allows
you
to
adjust
the date
of
QuickPad's
clock
using
the
arrow
keys
and
the
plus
(+)
and
minus
(-) keys.
Up
and down
arrow
keys
change
the
month,
left and
right
arrow
keys
change
the
day
of the
month,
and the
+
and
-
keys
change
the year.
Press
ESC
and
QuickPad
sets
the date
and
automatically
calculates
the
day
of the
week.
Time(T)
Press
"T"
to
adjust
the
time
with
the
arrow
keys.
The
up and down
arrow
keys change
the
hour,
and
the left
and
right
arrow
keys
change
the
minutes.
"ESC"
then
sets
the time
and
returns
you
to
the
Utilities
menu.
Note:
QuickPad's
clock
is
not
designed
for
chronometer
accuracy.
It
is
accurate
to
within
a
few
minutes
a
day,
and
provides
a
means
of
changing
the
date
at
midnight.
If the
precision
of
QuickPad's
time
display
is
important
to
you,
you
should
reset
the
clock
periodically.
Rev
(R
"R"
displays
the version
of software
in your
QuickPad
and
the date
of the
revision.
Speed(S)_
The
Speed utility
lets you slow down
the
upload
rate
when
sending
text
from
the
QuickPad
to
your
Mac
or
PC.
Press
"S"
and
QuickPad's
screen
says,
“Upload
transmission
rate.
Enter
a
number
from
0
to
9."
(Depending
orf
the
speed
of
your
PC
and
your
software,
QuickPad
may
transmit
data
too
quickly
and
some
characters
may
be
lost.) During
an
upload,
each
number
increment
from
0
to
9 adds
a
delay
of
five milliseconds
between
characters.
So,
entering
a
value
of
9
at
the
prompt
results
in
a
forty-five
millisecond
delay.
Entering
a
value
of
0 selects
QuickPad's
fastest
upload speed.
If you notice
you're
losing
characters
when
you
upload,
lower
the transmission
rate
by
selecting
a
higher
number.
Mem
Pressing
"M"
displays
the
number
of files
and
memory
space
currently
available
in
QuickPad.
Tip:
It's
good practice
to
delete
unimportant
files
and
past
Homework
to
ensure
sufficient
memory
space
remains
available.
Data
loss
could
occur
if
you
exceed
QuickPad's
memory
limits.
Init
(D)
This
function
initializes
memory,
deleting
all
files
and
data.
QuickPad
is
designed
to
ini-
tialize
itself
automatically
the very
first
time
it's
powered
up, but
you
can
also
initialize
QuickPad
manually.
Press
"I",
then
press
CTRL-SHIFT-I
simultaneously
to
initialize
QuickPad manually.
(At
this
point,
you
can
press
ESC
to
abort
the
initialization
process.)
