`
`Radio and television interference
`
`The equipment described in this manual generates, uses, and can radiate
`radio-frequency energy.If it is not installed and used properiy—thatis,
`in strict accordance with Apple’s instructions—it may cause interference
`with radio and television reception.
`
`This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits fora
`Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Partl5 of
`FEC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
`protection against such interference in a residential installation.
`However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur ina
`particular installation.
`,
`
`You can determine whether your computer is causing interference by
`turning it off, if the interference steps, it was probably caused by the
`computer or one of the peripheral devices.
`
`if your computer system does cause interference to radia or teleyision
`reception, try to correct the interference by using one or moreof the
`following measures:
`a urn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
`« Move the computer to one side or the other of the television
`or radio.
`
`as Move the computer farther away from the television or radio.
`= Plug the computerinto an outlet that is on a different circuit from
`the television or radio. (That is, make certain the device and the
`television or radio are on circuits controlled by differenc circuit
`breakers or fuses.)
`
`If necessary, consult your Apple-authorized reseller or an experienced
`radioftelevision technician for additional suggestions. You may find
`helpful the following booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications
`Commission: interference Handbook (stock number 004-000-00345-4).
`This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,
`Washington, DC 20402,
`
`IMPORTANT Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by
`Apple Computer,Inc. could yoid the FCC Certification and negate your
`authority to operate the product.
`
`This product was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that
`included the use of shielded cables and connectors between system
`components. {t is important thac you use shielded cables and connectors
`to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television
`sets, and other electronic devices, For Apple peripheral devices, you can
`obtain the proper shielded cables from your Apple-authorized reseller.
`For non-Apple peripheral devices, contact the manufacturer or dealer
`for assistance.

`introduction
`
`This handbookis a reference guide for the Newton
`MessagePad device. It contains detailed instructions
`about using Newton.
`This book helps answer specific questions. To learn the
`fundamentals, read the MessagePad Setup Guide.
`
`SAFETY, CARE, AMD MAINTENANCE
`
`As you work with your Newton device, foliow these
`safeguards to protect yourself and the device. Failure
`to comply with these safeguards may cause injury and
`resulting damage to the device may not be covered
`by warranty.
`= Take care not to break the glass screen. Don’t drop
`Newton. Don’t subject it to any strong impact. Don't
`put it into your back pocket, because if you sit onit,
`the glass may break. Always store Newtonin a case
`that has a stiff plate that can protect the screen.
`» Don’t press too hard on the screen when writing,
`drawing, or tapping buttons.
`
`11
`11
`
`

`

`Keep the device away from extreme heat. Don’t
`leave it on the dashboard or in the trunk of a car or
`near a heater.
`
`Use the device only in environments where
`the temperature is between 32° F and 104° F
`(0° C-40° C).
`Don’t leave the device anyplace that is extremely
`dusty, damp, or wet.
`Be careful not to scratch the screen. Use onlyplastic-
`tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive
`screen. Don’t use ink pens or any other sharp object.
`Never leave the card slot empty.If you haven't put a
`storage or application cardin it, leave the plastic
`protection card installed.
`Turn off the device when you’re not usingit.
`In normal circumstances, turn off Newton only by
`using the power switch. To disconnect power
`completely, unplug the adapter.
`Always turn off Newton before changing the
`batteries.
`
`To avoid battery leakage or lost data, replace the
`batteries as soon as they become weak (Ch, 23).
`Clean the screen only with a soft dry cloth, Do not
`use solvents.
`
`Clean the painted surfaces only with isopropy!
`alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and a soft dry cloth. Do not
`use other solvents.
`Keep the ports covered when you’re not using them.
`
`CHAPTER 1
`
`12
`12
`
`

`

`s Do not use cables that are frayed or otherwise
`damaged. Hold a cable only by its connector—
`the plug, not the cord—whenconnecting or
`disconnecting it.
`= Never force a connectorinto a port if the connector
`and port do notjoin easily. Make sure that the
`connector matches the port and thatit’s right side
`up before you attach it.
`
`€ARMG FOR BATTERIES
`
`» Always handle batteries carefully.
`un Whenreplacing the lithium backup battery, follow
`the instructions in Chapter 23, Be especially careful
`to insert the battery + side up asfailing to do so
`could be hazardous.
`
`» Do not short-circuit the battery terminals—thatis,
`do not touch both terminals with a metal object.
`Doing so may cause an explosion ora fire.
`« Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate, or
`incinerate the batteries.
`
`» Recharge only rechargeable batteries, and then only
`as directed in the manual.
`
`s Do not leave batteries in hot locations.

`AS you type on the
`keyboard, Newton
`
`
`recstoseeift eae
`already knows the
`|coedTeTeLeTTsTaDau
`
`word. If not, it asks
`filet
`e{v[b]alm{,]-[7]
`if you want to add
`the word to the
`word list.
`
`Here’s why you might want to say yes or no:
`Yes Newton will be able to recognize the word in the
`future. If you use this word frequently, you'll save
`time.
`
`No If you add many short words to the wordlist, it
`siows down Newton’s text recognizer and increases
`the chance of mistakes. If possible, avoid adding
`abbreviations, initials, and acronyms that are only
`two-letters jong.

`
`CHAPTER 2

`

`

`
`
`The capitalization you use when you type the word
`affects how it will be displayed on the screen whenit
`is recognized:
`= Wordsin all lowercase letters (for example, “jet’)
`will be capitalized according to context.
`a Words with the first letter capitalized (for example,
`“Jet”) will always be capitalized.
`a Words with all capital letters (for example, “JET”)
`will always be displayed in all capitals.

`hAASING
`
`To erase, use a zigzag scrub mark, like a W.
`
`Draw the zigzag
`with sharp corners
`
`You can draw the
`zigzag in any of
`these four
`
`onentations,
`
`Make each line of
`the zigzag about the same length.
`
`The zigzag must have at least four lines, like a W, but it
`may have more. The bigger the thing you're erasing,
`the more lines the zigzag should have. Unless the thing
`you want to erase is selected, you should cover at least
`half of rt with the scrub mark.
`
`Don't draw the scrub mark so ft loops or crosses
`over Itself,

`
`SELECTING THINGS
`
`Before you manipulate text, shapes, or handwriting, you
`need to select them. To select things, you draw a
`special highlighting mark in about the same way you
`would use a pen to highlight things on a piece of
`paper.
`
`
`
`To select using the
`highlighting mark,
`held the pen in
`one place until you
`see a heavy mark,
`then move the pen to highlight things. The next two
`sections give examples of selecting things.

`

`Box selection
`
`To select groups of text or drawings, circle them with
`the highlighting mark. It’s called box selection because
`Newton puts a box around the things you select.
`
`To put a box around
`a paragraph, circle
`it with the
`highlighting mark.
`
`To put a box around
`a drawing, circle it
`with the highlighting
`mark
`
`
`
`Note The highlighting mark doesn’t need to be very
`close to the items you’re selecting, as long as it
`encloses them completely and doesn’t enclose
`anything else.
`
`Selecting more than one thing
`To select more than one thing in the same note, use
`one of these two methods:
`
`
`
`Circle everything
`with the
`highlighting mark.
`
`Select one item at a
`time. Other ttems
`remain selected
`when you select a
`new item.

`downward for lowercase, at the beginning of the word
`for the first letter only, and in the middle of the word
`for the whole word. Be careful to start the stroke
`outside the selected text. Here are some examples:
