`FCC Information for the USA
`
`Radio and Television Interference
`
`This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not used properly —
`that is, in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual — may cause interference
`to Radio and Television reception.
`
`It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device
`in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules. These are
`designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential
`installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
`particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to Radio or Television
`reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, try to correct
`the interference by one or more of the following measures:
`
`Reposition the Radio or TV antenna
`
`Relocate the Series 3a Computer with respect to the Radio or TV
`
`Move the Series 3a Computer farther away from the Radio or TV
`If you are using the Series 3a Computer with a Mains Adapter, plug it into an outlet
`'
`which is on a different circuit from that of the Radio or TV.
`
`If necessary, consult an authorised Psion dealer or an experienced radio/Television
`technician for additional suggestions.
`
`Important
`This equipment was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the use
`of shielded cables and connectors between it and the peripherals. It is important that
`you use shielded cables and connectors to reduce the possibility of causing Radio and
`Television interference. Shielded cables, suitable for the Series 33 Computer range,
`can be obtained from an authorised Psion Dealer.
`
`If the user modifies the Series 3a Computer or its Expansion Modules in any way, and
`these modifications are not approved, by Psion, the FCC may withdraw the user's right
`to operate the equipment.
`The following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission may be
`of help: "How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems". This booklet
`is available from the US Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 Stock No
`004-000-00345-4.

`
`Getting started
`
`You should read this chapter first. It shows you how to start using
`your Series 3a. It also describes basic information on operating the
`Series 3a, which you need to know before you read the other
`chapters in this manual. Wherever there are things for you to do,
`the instruction(s) are indicated with numbers. Extra notes, which
`you may find useful, are indicated with alE’symbol.
`
`The different applications - Agenda, Database and so on - are
`described from chapter 2 onwards. The simpler applications are
`described first. Each chapter begins with the important
`information you will need for everyday use, before covering more
`detailed information. You can read as much as you like of these
`chapters, and read them in any order.
`
`The second half of the manual covers more general topics,
`including printing, tone dialling and security.
`
`If you have any problems, try looking up suitable entries in the
`index, or refer to the 'Troubleshooting' chapter.
`
`(Experienced Series 3 users may wish instead to read Appendix C,
`which lists the main differences between the two computers. 3 Link
`users should read Appendix D also.)

`
`Powering the SERIES 33
`
`The Series 3a is powered by two ordinary AA batteries. It is best to use alkaline
`batteries - they should last for several months of normal use.
`
`A backup battery is also supplied with your Series 3a. This has the sole job of
`preserving your information when the time comes for you to replace the main batteries.
`
`A mains adaptor for the Series 3a is also available. This may be useful if you use your
`Series 3a heavily in one particular location.
`
`Don't worry about leaving your Series 3a turned on by mistake, as it will turn itself off
`after a few minutes to conserve power.

`
`
`
`Fitting the batteries - the first time
`
`You can fit the main batteries and the backup battery in any order.
`
`Fitting the main batteries
`1. Make sure that the Series 3a is closed, then turn it over.
`
`2. Unclip the main battery cover at the top and fit the main batteries. Be sure to insert
`them the right way round, as marked on the case. (Note: one battery has its
`positive end on a "pushable" contact.)
`
`
`
`3. Replace the main battery cover.
`
`Fitting the backup batter
`
`1. You will see two doors on the underside of the Series 3a which swing open; the
`backup battery fits under the door on the left. Open the left-hand door:
`
`
`
`2. The backup battery slides in from left to right. Insert it with the flat side, usually
`marked with a + symbol, facing upwards.
`
`3. Close the door again, and turn the Series 3a over.

`Turning On
`
`The ON key, also marked 'Esc', is at the top left of the keyboard.
`It is referred to as either 'Esc' or 'ON/Esc'.
`
`Eluuuuauuamuuu
`
`1. Press the ON/Esc key.
`
`The Series 3a starts by displaying an introductory/copyright
`screen. If this does not happen, check that you have inserted
`the main batteries correctly.
`You will now see the System screen, which initially looks like this:
`
`fi®0

`
`ON/Esc key
`
`
`
`Turning Off
`
`1. Hold down the Psion key, marked a , at the bottom left of the
`keyboard. While holding it down, press the OFF/l key (next to
`ON/Esc).
`
`I? The Psion key (the g symbol is part of the Psion logo) does
`nothing on its own. It is used in conjunction with other keys
`for extra characters and special functions. Such keypresses are
`usually written with a dash joining the keynames, such as
`Psion—l for the OFF keypress.
`
`
`PSION-l
`
`=OFF key
`
`Other notes
`
`- You can use the standard mains adaptor for the Series 3a at any time.

`
`'Changing the batteries‘ is described towards the end of this chapter.

`(Contrast +) key or the < (Contrast —) key, until you're happy
`
`with the screen contrast.
`
`If you ever need to clean the screen, use a dry cloth.

`
`Keypresses
`
`The Series 3a keyboard is similar to that of a typewriter or desktop computer.
`
`If you hold down either Shift key you get the symbols above the
`numbers on the number keys, and the alphabetic keys produce
`upper case (capital) letters - A instead of a , and so on.

`
`The 9 (diamond) key
`
`Most of the applications have different screens or views. You can
`move between these screens or views by pressing the 9 key. You
`will see this referred to in the chapters which follow.
`
`
`
`Diamond key
`
`Keyboard markings
`
`The yellow markings above certain keys are extra characters which the key can produce
`(or special functions the key can perform). To get one of these characters or functions,
`hold the Psion key down while pressing the key. For example, Psion-6 gives the @
`character.
`
`W Although the ON key is also marked in yellow for consistency, you don‘t need to use
`the Psion key when turning the Series 3a on.
`
`The application button pad
`
`The touchpad of eight large buttons between the screen and keyboard allows you to
`move between the different applications on your Series 3a - the Database, Word
`Processor and so on. For example, if you want to check your daily agenda, press the
`Agenda button; you can then look at your agenda, or enter new appointments.
`
`0 System takes you to the System screen - the screen shown when you first turned the
`Series 3a on. The System screen displays an icon (picture) for each application on
`the application button pad, and for some built—in applications which do not have
`their own application buttons. There are more icons than can be shown on the screen

`
`
`at one time. You can press the —> and <— arrow keys to move between the icons on the
`screen.
`
`0 Data takes you to the Database, which you can use as a phone/address book.
`
`0 Word takes you to the Word Processor, which you can use for typing notes, letters,
`memos and so on.
`
`0 Agenda takes you to the Agenda, which you can use as a diary/appointment
`manager.
`
`0 Time takes you to the screen where everything to do with time is managed,
`including alarms.
`
`- World takes you to a screen that displays various information, including dialling
`codes, for hundreds of cities and countries.
`
`0 Cale takes you to a programmable scientific calculator.
`
`0 Sheet takes you to the Spreadsheet where you can enter your own worksheets full of
`calculations.
`
`II? The Program and Record applications do not have application buttons. You can
`access them from their icons on the System screen. You can use 'Program' to write
`your own programs in the OPL language to add new features to your Series 3a. See
`the Programming manual for more details of OPL. You can use "Record" to record
`your own alarm sounds and voice messages. 'Record' is described in a later chapter
`of this manual.
`
`You can turn on the Series 33 by pressing any application button. You are then
`taken to the relevant application.
`
`You may wish to practise using the application buttons and special functions for keys
`by trying the following example:
`1. Press the Word button to move to the Word Processor.
`
`2. Type some text.
`
`3. Press Psion-O to use the special function for the 0 key — the
`Caps Lock keypress. Type some more text. As you can see the
`alphabetic keys are now producing upper case letters on their — .
`own. Press Psion-O again to revert to lower case letters.
`Caps Lock
`
`
`
`4. Press the System button to return to the System screen.
`
`It? You don't have to finish with one application before
`moving to another. As in the above example, you can press the Word button and
`begin typing some text, then press the System button to move back to the System
`screen, and then press Word again to continue with your document.

`
`
`Setting the Home City and Time
`
`There are two things you should set before you enter any of your information:
`your home city, and the current time. You have to set these before you can make
`effective use of world dialling, alarms, the Agenda and so on.
`
`In setting these, you will see how some important keys work, and how things are
`displayed on the screen.
`
`Setting the home city
`
`You should set your home city before you set the current time. The home city
`affects the current time displayed by the Series 3a clock because the Series 3a knows
`about time zones.
`
`You can set the home city with either the World application or the Time application.
`
`1. Press ON/Esc, if necessary, to turn the Series 321 on.
`
`2. Press the Time button to move to the Time application. The 'Time screen' initially
`
`looks something like this:
`
`
`
`3:81 :34 pm
`
`
`

`

`No alarm set
`No alarm set

`
`The central area of the screen shows any alarms that have been set
`on your Series 3a. There are six lines for alarm details. Initially,
`they all say 'No alarm set'. Your current home city is shown on
`the top line.
`
`3. Press the Menu key.
`The screen will now look like this:

`
`A dialog is now displayed on the screen. Dialogs appear whenever the Series 3a has to
`ask you for information. Most dialogs have a title at the top - in this case it is 'Set home
`city‘ — and a number of lines in which you enter information. The Ti keys move the
`cursor from line to line.
`
`This dialog has two lines: ‘City' and 'Country'. The 'City' line is currently highlighted
`and the name of a city or area is shown. There is a flashing cursor on its first letter; you
`can now type the name of a new home city.
`
`Sometimes, as in this case, information in one line of a dialog affects the information
`displayed in other lines. The reason is usually obvious - in this dialog as the 'City' line
`changes, the 'Country' line changes as well.
`
`5. Type in the name of your city, or the one nearest to you. As you press each key, the
`cursor moves to the right and the Series 3a tries to find a city to match the letters
`you've typed. Stop typing as soon as it has found the correct city.
`
`II? Because the Series 3a also stores dialling codes, some cities may be named a little
`strangely - London Inner and London Outer, for example.
`
`If you make a mistake while typing in the city name, you can
`use the Delete key to delete the last letter typed, moving the
`cursor back to the left. (The Series 3a again shows the first city
`which matches the letters to the left of the cursor.)

`
`Delete key
`
`If at any point the Series 3a can't find a city to match the
`letters you've typed, it will beep. If you're sure you have spelt the city correctly, the
`Series 3a doesn't know about that city. If this is the case you will need to press Delete a
`few times to remove the letters you typed and then type in a different city name. Once
`you are used to the Series 3a, you can move to the World application and add your own
`city, then move back to Time to set it as your home city (described under 'Adding or
`Changing Information' in the ‘World' chapter).
`
`6. When the city you want is displayed, press Enter and it will be set as your home
`city. You will now be able to use the World application to find dialling codes for
`other cities around the world. When you have set the current time, you can also use
`the World application to find the times in other cities.

`
`
`
`[3: If you travel, you should change the 'Home city' to your current location. The
`current time will change automatically, and international dialling codes will then be
`given based on your new location.
`
`Setting the time and date
`Experienced computer users- select the 'Time and date' option on the ‘Settings'
`menu in the Time application to set the time and date for the Series 3a.
`
`New computer users may wish to use the following step-by—step instructions to set the
`time and date:
`
`1. Press the Time button, if necessary, to go to the Time application.
`
`2. Press the Menu key and select the 'Time and date' option on the 'Settings' menu
`(move the highlight onto 'Time and date‘, and press Enter). A dialog will appear, like
`this:
`
`Home: London inner, United Kingdom
`No alarm set
`
`7/1993 J No alarm set
`
`.
`
`I
`
`Set time and date
`£233 pm
`
`_V
`
`e
`
`3. Press i to move the highlight to the ‘Date' line.
`
`4. Type the correct day, month and year, in numbers. The highlight will move
`automatically. You can move the highlight manually to the next part of the date by
`pressing —> (or the Space key), if the day or month is only one digit.
`
`I}? If you type in incorrect or unsuitable numbers, the day and month numbers are
`corrected to the largest values allowed. For example, if you typed 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 the
`numbers would be corrected to 31st December 2049 (the last date allowed by the
`Series 3a).
`
`5. Press T to move to the 'Time' line. The time is shown as hours, minutes and seconds.
`The highlight moves onto the hours.
`
`6. Type the time, in the same way as the date. For example, to set the time to twenty five
`minutes past nine in the morning you would type: 0 9
`2 5 O
`O
`. For "am-pm"
`clocks you can press A or P to change between "am" and "pm".
`
`Is In "am—pm" format, midnight is written with a l 2 , not 0 0 . For example, half past
`midnight is 1 2 : 3 O : am.
`
`7. Press Enter and the time and date are set.
`
`The Series 3a is accurate to within a few seconds a week. Use the 'Time and Date'
`
`option again if you ever need to correct the time.
`
`Changing the way time and date is displayed
`If you're used to menus and dialogs on other computers: use the 'Formats' option
`on the 'Settings' menu in Time — perhaps by pressing its hot-key Psion-F - to set the
`time and date formats you prefer.
`
`If you are unsure of menus and dialogs: follow the instructions below. Even if you
`do not wish to change the date and time formats, the example shows you more
`about menus and dialogs along the way.
`
`MSFT EX. 1016
`
`Page 21 of 290
`
`MSFT EX. 1016
`Page 21 of 290
`
`
`
`Changing the time and date formats:
`
`1. Press the Time button, if necessary, to move to the Time application.
`
`2. Select the 'Formats' menu option on the ‘Settings‘ menu - either press the Menu key
`and select it as you have selected options from menus before, or press Psion-F. The
`keypress Psion-F is the hot-key for the 'Formats' option.
`
`I? Every option on a menu ends with u (the Psion key symbol), or Shift— 5; followed by
`a letter. These are the hot-keys - shortcuts for selecting the options. Hot—keys can be
`used with or without the menu on the screen -you would normally use them without
`displaying the menu as it is quicker.
`While you're learning to use the Series 3a, you‘ll find it easiest to use the Menu key
`to find the option you want, but you'll soon start to remember the hot—keys of the
`options you use most.
`
`The 'Set date and time formats’ dialog will appear. It looks like this:
`
`Home: London Inner. United Kingdom
`
`l I" uuun "I an...
`
`Set date and time formats
`1- Dau month gear +

`am-pm
`:

`' -Time format
`I -Time Separator
`
`_,
`
`
`
`[ Fi 23 ul
`
`3. The highlight is initially on the 'Date format‘ line. If you press the <— and —> keys you
`will see the setting on the line change. Leave it set to your preferred date format.
`
`IQ Whenever you see little arrows around a setting in a dialog, you can use <——> to
`change it.
`
`4. Press ,L to move to the 'Date separator' line. If you wish to change it, just type the
`character that you want to use as the date separator, for when dates are displayed in
`dialogs.
`
`5. Press the l key to move to the 'Time format' line. You can set this line to either
`'24 hour' or 'am—pm'. Leave it set to your preferred format.
`
`6. Press the i key to move to the 'Time separator' line. If you Wish to change the
`character used to separate the numbers for times, just type a new character.
`
`7. Press Enter, to say you have finished.
`
`[$3 If you bring up a menu or dialog which you didn't want, you
`can remove it by pressing the Esc ("Escape") key. The Esc key
`performs the opposite action to the Enter key, as it will almost
`always get you out of anything - it means "no, forget this
`thing I've just chosen". Here, you would use it to make the
`menu go away.

`
`Moving the cursor and editing text
`
`The keypresses and features explained here are used repeatedly throughout the
`Series 3a. You don't have to learn all of this yet. You may wish to refer back to this
`section as you get used to using your Series 3a.
`
`Basic editing keys
`
`These are the basic editing keys you’ll use whenever entering almost any kind of
`information on the Series 3a:
`
`-
`
`<—Ti—>move the cursor.
`
`- The Delete key deletes the character (number, symbol or letter) to the left of the
`cursor.
`
`-
`
`°
`
`0
`
`Shift—Delete deletes the character to the right of the cursor.
`
`Shift-<— and Shift——> start a highlight from the cursor position. Use this to highlight
`an area of text.
`
`Shift-T and Shift—i highlight whole lines of text.
`
`More advanced editing keys
`' Psion—band Psion——>move the cursor to the start and end of the line respectively.
`These keypresses are sometimes called 'Home' and 'End', and they are marked on
`the keyboard as such.
`
`-
`
`Psion—T and Psion-l (marked ‘Pg Up‘ and 'Pg Dn', for "Page Up" and "Page Down")
`move the cursor up and down by several lines at a time.
`
`' Psion-Delete deletes to the beginning of the line, and Shift-Psion—Delete deletes to
`the end of the line.
`
`' Control-Shift—Psion—<— (hold down the Control, Shift and Psion
`keys, and press <—) highlights the current word. (The Control
`key, like the Psion and Shift keys, is used to modify other
`keypresses.)

`
`Help information
`
`Whatever you're doing on your Series 3a, you can always display
`Help information.
`
`When you press the Help key, a list of help topics for the screen
`on which you are working appears, like this:
`
`
`
`
`

`' Use the Ti arrow keys to move the highlight up and down the menu of topics.
`
`- Press the Enter key to look at help on a highlighted topic. A page of information, or a
`further list of topics will appear.
`
`° Press Esc to remove a help screen. If you've been through several screens of help,
`Esc goes back to the previous one. Press Esc until they are all removed. A useful
`shortcut is Control-Esc, which always leaves help immediately.
`
`0 Control—Help presents a complete index of help topics.
`
`
`
`Notes on menus and dialogs
`
`Together, menus and dialogs give you access to all of the features of the Series 3a. You
`can select an option for whatever you want to do from a menu, or press its hot—key. The
`option you selected will then display a dialog if more information is needed from you.
`
`Displaying a menu
`
`Each application has a different set of menus. If you press the Menu key, and use the
`arrow keys to look at the menu contents, the names of the options will usually
`suggest the features available.
`
`Whenever you press the Menu key, the highlight moves to the option it was on when
`you last used the menus.
`
`Moving between menus
`
`Use <——>to move between the different menus on an application screen.
`
`“$3 The Menu key itself cycles through the menus one by one. You can also press the
`Menu key and then a number to move to a particular menu - l for the leftmost
`menu, 2
`for the next one, and so on.

`You can find out which hot-keys go with which options by displaying the menus, then
`pressing a hot-key without holding down the Psion key. The menu and option which
`goes with the key you press will be highlighted.
`
`Selecting an dialog lines
`
`Many dialog lines, such as 'Time format', have little arrows around the setting, and can
`be changed by using <——>. You can also type the first letter of the setting you require.
`
`If you want to see all of the possible settings in a vertical list,
`press the Tab key. Within the vertical list, you can use T1 to move
`the highlight. Enter to pick the highlighted setting, or Esc to
`remove the vertical list.
