Sharp IQ-8900 - Manual (Page 28)

l
Check to see that the CARD LOCK switch is LOCKED and not in the
RELEASE position. You may have accidentally left it unlocked after
removing an IC card.
l
Check that the battery replacement switch on the back of the unit is in
the “NORMAL
OPERATION”
position. If the switch is in the “REPLACE
BATTERIES” position, the unit cannot be turned on.
l
Check or replace the operating batteries, even if you have just replaced
the batteries. It is possible that the batteries were not fresh when you
purchased them.
l
Press the RESET switch. If the unit has been dropped, for example, it
may have to be reset.
This
will not delete your data. If for any reason
data is missing after resetting the unit, it was lost before you pressed
the RESET switch. The RESET switch simply re-starts the unit.
If none of the procedures above works, you will need to send the unit to a
service center. Check the back page of this operation manual for the location
of your nearest service center and call for more information.
Q: What happens if I am working on an entry and the auto power off
function shuts off the unit before I store the entry?
A: You will not lose any information. The next time you turn the unit on, the
Resume feature returns you to exactly where you left off.
Q: I would like to use the Filer feature but I am afraid of using up memory.
How does the Filer work? Does it make a copy of each entry?
A: No. When you assign an entry to a folder in the Filer, it does not use up any
extra memory. The unit doesn’t actually make a copy of the entry, it simply
“assigns” the entry to a folder. Entries are still stored in each individual
application (Tel, Notebook, etc.). The Filer is a great way to organize your
information and there is no reason not to use it.
I have an older model 8000 Series 256K Organizer that was about 99%
full. When I loaded all of the data into my new unit
and
checked the memory, it read about 65% full. I expected it to read about
50% full. What happened?
A: This unit uses memory differently to other SHARP Organizers, providing
many more features, formatting capabilities, etc., which require more
memory. Importing data from another type of unit will require more memory
on this unit. This amount will vary depending on the number and type of
records you import.
