Genera advice regarding batteries:

• Keep batteries in sets of 4 and don’t mix them. As batteries age their internal

resistance increases. Putting in an old battery with 3 new ones will severely limit the

life of the new ones.

• Discard batteries that are leaking. Leaking can be detected by a build up of a white

powdery (possibly greasy) deposit around the ends of the batteries. Leaking batteries

will permanently damage the QuickPAD PRO.

• Don’t attempt to charge alkaline batteries! The PRO will operate very well with these

batteries, but using external power (which activates the charger) can cause alkaline

batteries to leak.

• Don’t use other rechargeable types such as Lithium Ion, Nickel Cadmium, or

rechargeable alkaline. You can use any AA size battery to operate the QuickPAD

PRO, but you can only recharge NiMh!!

4.6 QUICKPAD PRO ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

QuickPAD Technology warrants your product against defects in materials and

workmanship under normal use from the confirmed date of purchase by the original

purchaser. Upon written notice of any defects, QuickPAD Technology will either repair

or replace the faulty product or components thereof. Any warranty stated hereunder is

extended to the original purchaser and is not transferable.

QuickPAD Technology does not assume liabilityfor consequential damages or liability

as a result of our product's use. QuickPAD Technology's liability extends, but does not

exceed, the original selling price of the equipment. In addition to, there is no assumption

of liability as a consequence of any such events under the terms of this warranty, in the

following:

• Shipment to or from QuickPAD Technology or the customer.

• Improper environment, temperature extremes, electrical power surges or failure or

other misuse or negligence.

• Adjustment or repair by personnel not authorized by QuickPAD Technology.

• Improper installations or failure to follow installation instructions.

• Forces beyond the control of QuickPAD Technology, including but not

limited to an act of God, war, insurrection, civil disturbance, natural disasters, labor

disputes or government regulations.

In order to obtain service under this warranty, you must first call QuickPAD Technology,

Technical Support department 1 (800) 373-8181 and obtain an Return Authorization

number (RMA) before shipping the product to QuickPAD Technology, or it's authorized

agent.

Pro will attempt to detect the first attachment and display the name of the attachment

only. Most email messages are sent in a dual format even when you have only typed a

short message to someone. The messages are sent as pure text and as HTML, which will

include font selection, highlighting and formatting of the message. The PRO will display

only the text portion of the message. In some rare cases, messages that are sent by

automated advertising “engines”are sent only in HTML. In those cases you will receive

what appears to be a blank message.

4.5. OPTIONAL. BATTERY CHARGER OPERATION.

The latest hardware revision of the QuickPAD PRO includes a built in NiMh (Nickel

Metal Hydride) battery charger with an external 12VDC power supply that plugs into a

small jack at the back of the unit. The PRO accepts 4 batteries of AA size, and while

there are many types of rechargeable batteries, it is designed only to charge the NiMh

types, in approximately 8 or 9 hours. When fully charged, the PRO charger then switches

to “trickle”charge. When fully charged you may expect to use the PRO for at least 2

days of heavy use. With moderate or occasional use the PRO may run for 6 or 7 days

without re-charge.

You may monitor battery status from the main menu by pressing SHIFT and F1 keys

simultaneously. The status display shows whether the external power supply is attached,

and whether the batteries are charging or being trickle charged, which indicates the

batteries have reached the fully charged state. New fully charged NiMh batteries will

read about 5.7 volts with the external power supply plugged in, and approximately 5.5

volts without external power. No power is being drawn from the batteries with the

external power supply is plugged in. As the batteries age you can expect the voltage

readings to become lower in the fullycharged state, and they will discharge faster. You

should check the NiMh battery voltage occasionallyand plug in the external power when

they reach approximately 4.5 volts. The QuickPAD PRO will actually operate with

battery voltage down to 4.1 volts or less, but this is not recommended for NiMh batteries

as they may develop an internal short if they drop too low. The PRO was designed to

operate at this low battery voltage in order to extract all available power from standard

alkaline batteries, which are not rechargeable. If you ever get a reading below 4.1 volts

the built in battery charger may not be able to revive the NiMh batteries. In that case,

you may be able to recharge the batteries in a high power one-hour charger, if one is

available.

1.3. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR QUICKPAD

1.3.1. Physical Layout

5 4 3 6

(bottom side)

SET ISP PHONE NUMBER: Once you get your access number you need to determine if

you will be dialing an alternate area code, and if you wish to disable “call waiting”. Here

are some examples:

543-3256 Local number dialing. You may enter the hyphen or not. The modem

ignores hyphens. The number is usually a little easier to read with the hyphen.

1-408-543-3256 Alternate area code dialing. The 1 is almost always required by

most phone systems.

70#, 543-3256The sequence 70#, causes the modem to dial the number 70# first and the

comma causes about a 5 second wait before dialing the remainder of the number. The

70# sequence in many areas will disable any “call waiting”feature you may have. If you

have call waiting and you don’t disable it while sending and receiving email you may

lose your dial up connection.

*70, 543-3256This shows an alternate sequence for disabling call waiting. Check with

your local phone provider to verify which sequence works in your area.

SET MAIL DOMAIN: An actual example is earth ink.net. Enter the name of our ISPs

domain name.

SET NAME SERVER: The name server is a group of 4 numbers separated by periods.

Each group can be 1 to 3 digits in length. An actual example for earthlink is

207.217.126.81

SET NAME SERVER2: Similar to above, but is usually different by a couple of digits.

An actual example for earthlink is 207.217.120.83. You must enter the appropriate

numbers for our ISP. The numbers shown for earthlink will only work for earthlink!!

LEAVE MSGS ON POP: This is a “toggle”setting. If you select it and press ENTER it

will change to “Remove msgs on POP”. We recommend leaving it set to the default

setting “Leave msgs on pop”. Since the QuickPAD PRO can only receive text

attachments and all others are filtered out you probably will want to leave these messages

on your server so you can retrieve the complete message with all attachments once you

return to your “home PC”.

SET NET MASK: Enter 255.255.0.0 in most cases. This may change with some ISPs so

please check with your provider.

Genera information:

Email messages take on many forms with an incredibly wide variation of message

formats that continues to evolve. The header information in an email is different for each

type of email program that generates it. The “body”of the email can be comprised of

text, HTML, web pages, attachments, and in some cases includes java or other types of

scripting. The QuickPAD PRO email software attempts to filter the superfluous

information and only display the text portion of the email. Since the Pro cannot display

images or run scripts or programs from other computers these are filtered as well. The

[ F1 ] Help file is displayed.

[ A ] Reply all. Select the desired email from the inbox you wish to reply to. Press A

to automatically add all recipients as addressees.

[ R ] Reply. Select the desired email you wish to reply to and press R. The originator

of the email will be added to the “To:”line of your outgoing email.

[ ESC ] Quit the current function. If you are in the main email screen, the program will

return to the QuickPAD main menu.

[ F ] You may forward the contents of an email.

[ ↑↓ ] Up and down arrow keys are used to select a desire email.

[ F10 ] The F10 function will appear as an available command at different times. When

preparing an email [ N ] and if there are any available email addresses in the Personal

Organizer address book, they can be accessed via F10. If there are no addresses in the

organizer, then the F10 function will not be shown. F10 also appears when you are on

the “attachment line”if there are any text files in your editor folder. Pressing F10 will

show a list of text files you can choose from.

Configuration: You must enter 12 sets of data to complete the configuration setup. It

sounds a little intimidating, but is really quite easyand must only be done once.

SET ISP USER ID: Usually this is the same as the mail user ID (below) although

sometimes there will by various characters and symbols that precede the user name,

depending on what company is actuallyproviding the dial up service. Often a national

ISP will utilize dial up services from many smaller individual companies.

SET MAIL USER ID: Example: rickyX. If your email address is ricky[email protected],

then enter the portion before the “@”symbol.

SET ISP PASSWORD: This is almost always the same as your mail password. Check

with your ISP provider if you have problems.

SET MAIL PASSWORD: This is whatever you have chosen for access to your mail

account. If you have forgotten your existing password (since your PC remembers it for

you!) you may contact your ISP provider for this information.

SET SMTP SERVER: If for example your ISP was called access.com, then your SMTP

server entry would typically be smtp.access.com. Another typical entry would be

mai .access.com. Your ISP will provide you with the exact server name.

SET POP3 SERVER: This is very similar to the SMTP server name and using the

example show above, would typically be either pop.access.com or mai .access.com.

1.3.3. User Modes

There are two user modes supported by QuickPAD Pro: single-user mode and multi-user

mode. If multiple individuals are using the QuickPAD, the most effective choice will

typically be to use the QuickPAD in multi-user mode. In this mode, each user can have

his/her own login name, passwords and file folder. This can be beneficial not only for

protective purposes, but also as an aid in keeping one user’s files separate from another’s.

There are circumstances in which multi-user mode could be beneficial for an individual

user; however, more often than not, an individual user will want to use single-user mode.

For information on changing the user mode, see section 2.2.1(“Change User Mode”).

When you switch into multi-user mode, the SELECT QUICKPAD USER window will

pop up. Initially, all users will be available. Select the desired user folder by entering the

F#key corresponding to the open slot. For instance, to select user F2, press the F2 key. At

the prompt, type in a user name and press ENTER. If you wish to have a password for this

user, press Yand enter a password at the prompt. Re-enter the password to complete the

new user process.

1.4. QUICK START CHECKLIST

á Open the battery-chamber door and insert the batteries.

o Turn QuickPAD to its back side and locate the battery chamber in the

upper-right corner.

o Lift the cover off the chamber.

o Insert the four AA batteries provided with your QuickPAD.

the function you would like to use.

4.4. OPTIONAL. QUICKPAD PRO WITH MODEM: EMAIL OPERATION

The internal modem and email software is capable of connecting via dialup ISP services

to any standard POP3 mail server. Certain types of ISP providers however require

proprietary software (such as AOL, JUNO and NETZERO) and it is not currently

possible to connect to these services.

The first step to use your Pro for email services is the configuration setup. You may use

the PRO with email in single user mode, or in multi-user mode. In multi-user mode you

may have completely different email configurations (different ISPs, user names,

passwords, etc) for each user. In any case, the setup for either method is exactly the

same.

To begin, select EMAIL from the main menu and press ENTER. You will see the

INBOX screen, with a list of functions listed at the bottom. If you have used email

programs previously you will recognize most or all of the functions.

Emai function summary:

[ C ] Configure email. This is where you enter information about your ISP, user name

etc. This must be completed before you can send and receive email. This is described in

detail below.

[ N ] New message: Press N to create a new outgoing message. A blinking cursor will

appear on the “TO:”line. You may manually type in an email address, or if you have

entered email addresses in the Personal Organizer, you maypress F10 to show a list of

addresses you can choose from. Multiple addresses must be separated by a comma. You

may proceed to the “CC:”line by pressing ENTER, or TAB. You may go back by

pressing SHIFT-TAB. When you reach the attachment line, and if you have text files in

your editor folder you may add one or more text files as attachments by pressing the F10

key. The F10 key will not be available if there is no text files available. The ability to

send and receive other types of files may be added in the future. Once you reach the

body of the text simply type your message. When complete press ESC and answer Y

(yes) to add this to the output que (Unsent folder). Answering N (no) will delete any

message you have started. When you have completed all emails you wish to send simply

press T to connect and send.

[ T ] Press T to send / receive email. Email in the QuickPAD is prepared while offline.

When you press T, the QuickPAD will then connect, then send any emails that are in the

“Unsent”folder followed by retreiving emails that maybe on your POP server. The

QuickPAD must have been configured [ C ] prior to sending and receiving email.

[ D ] Delete email: The inbox (as well as the Unsent / Sent screen) will show a list of

emails. These may be deleted by selecting (highlighting) with the up and down arrow

keys, then pressing D. You may also press the “Delete File”key if you wish.

[ SU ] You may switch to the Sent or Unsent folder by pressing S or U. When in either

the Sent or Unsent folder you may press Ito get back to the inbox folder.

A. Besides being a low cost, lightweight notebook, QuickPAD Pro offers many

advantages such as more comprehensive word processing features, spreadsheet and

data processing applications a scientific graphing calculator, personal organizer, a

larger screen, more internal memory and unlimited expandable data storage, and 2-

way communication.

4.3. OPTIONAL. TYPING TUTOR

The typing tutor is easy to use and is suitable for many different levels of typing skills

from beginner to advanced. The typing tutor can also be used with many different

students, keeping track of each simply be entering their names.

You may begin using the typing tutor without entering a name. You will be shown your

score at the end of each lesson but the results won’t be saved. If you want to save your

results so you can see your progress then you must enter your name or nickname.

Entering your name:

Choose function 5 at the main menu. You’ll be prompted, are you a new student? If

you’ve already entered your name, you can then search for yours or find it in a list. If

you are new, go ahead and enter your name. Entering your name, or selecting it if

already in the list allows you to keep track of your scores.

The typing tutor has four levels you may choose from. The first level, “Finger

Placement”is for users new to keyboards, and may not know which fingers go on which

key. Once Finger placement has been mastered, the user may simply progress through

the various levels as he or she makes progress. Each level has many different lessons,

and if you achieve a certain performance level, which is shown on the screen, you will

automatically progress to the next lesson. If you achieve a “failed”level, the same lesson

simply repeats.

Under Setup, you may choose functions 5 through 9.

Function 5: Described above, you may enter your name or nickname. This allows the

typing tutor to track your progress and keep a record of your performance.

Function 6: At any time, you may enter a students’name to view the test scores.

Function 7: If you have entered your name you may view the results of the last test you

took. This is useful for a teacher or instructor to see what a student may have just

completed.

Function 8: Keyboard Display: This may be set to “ON”or “OFF”. If set to “OFF”and

if the student is in the Advanced level, the keyboard display will be turned off.

Function 9: Print a report: This function does not actually print a report; it creates a text

file (the name of the file will be shown on the screen) that may be downloaded using the

file manager to the user’s PC.

2. USING QUICKPAD PRO

2.1. FILE MANAGER

Much like a standard personal computer, the file manager acts as your central source for

ocating, moving, de eting, accessing, copying and transferring files among folders

and drives. You can access, open and edit any file on the QuickPAD Pro directly from the

file manager. In addition, storage utilities allow you to back up files and folders to

external flash cards and, likewise, to restore files and folders as needed.

2.1.1. Getting Started

The file manager can be accessed from the main QuickPAD Pro menu screen by either

highlighting the FILE MANAGER box or by pressing the F6 key. Once in the file

manager, you will notice that the screen is divided into two large boxes and an area

across the bottom displaying quick commands. The box at the left side of the screen

contains folders, while the box at the right contains files. When you first open the file

manager, the cursor will be highlighting the open directory symbol “\”in the upper left

corner. If you are in single-user mode, you will see the MYFILES folder directly below

the open directory symbol and if in multi-user mode, you will see the F# representing the

current user. In addition, there are three subfolders named EDITOR, PERSORG and

SPSHEET which correspond to the files created by the Word Processor, Personal

Organizer and Spreadsheet, respectively.

2.1.2. Using the File Manager

arrow keys, you can move through the folder list. After selecting the appropriate folder in

which the desired file is contained, press the right arrow key to move the cursor to the file

list on the right side of the screen. Now, use the up and down arrow keys again to

navigate through the file list until you have highlighted the specific file you want. Once

the file is highlighted, you can use the file commands listed at the bottom of the screen to:

• Tag/Untag a file: Tagging a file will put a star next to the file name. You have the

option to tag/untag a single file or tag/untag all files in a folder. Tagged files are

looked at as a group and can be copied and pasted as such. For example, if you have

three files you want to paste to the same location, you can tag the three files and press

C. Once you have selected the desired location, you can press ENTER and all of the

tagged files will be pasted.

• Rename a file: If you want to rename a file, press Rand you will be prompted to enter

a new name for the currently selected file. Once you have entered a new name, press

ENTER to return to the file list.

• Cop a file: The copy function, C, works to copy a file and paste it in a desired

location. When you press C, you will be prompted to select the folder in which you

wish to paste the file. Use the up and down arrow keys to select the desired folder and

press ENTER.

Protect a fo der – You can put a password on a folder by highlighting a folder and

pressing P. You will be prompted to enter a password 5 –



8 characters long. Once you

have entered a password, press ENTER and then re-enter it at the next prompt.

2.2. SETUP

The majority of the default settings can be changed to meet a user’s specific needs. The

setup menu allows easy access to these settings and allows you to change such options as

external connection speeds, passwords, user mode, keyboard settings and idle times.

Except for the date and time, all settings will remain saved until modified by the user. In

other words, when batteries are replaced, all options will remain intact, except for the

date and time which will need to be re-entered.

2.2.1. Changing Settings

Set date – To set the date, select the SET DATE box from the options main menu using

the arrow keys or by pressing F1. Enter the current date in month/day/year form and press

ENTER.

Set time – After selecting the SET TIME box, enter the current time and press Afor A.M.

or Pfor P.M. Press ENTER to finish and return to the options menu.

Set IR speed – The speed utility allows you to slow down the upload rate when sending

data from the QuickPAD Pro to your PC or Mac. Depending on the speed of your

computer and software, QuickPAD may transmit data too quickly and, as a result, some

characters may be lost in the transfer. If you notice that you are losing characters when

transferring data, lower the transmission rate by selecting a lower number in the IR speed

field.

• PC/MAC mode – Using the up and down arrow keys, you can toggle between PC

mode and Macintosh mode. Select the mode corresponding to the type of computer

you are using. NOTE: Macintosh mode will work with PC’s as well, but transmission

speed will be 50% slower.

• USB Dela – The second changeable field corresponds to the delay for initializing the

USB interface on your computer. On some computers, it takes up to 10 seconds to

load the USB software drivers. If your USB connection is not activating or if it misses

the beginning of the data transfer, set the USB delay to a higher value.

View version specifications – To view the current version information, select the GET

VERSION box or press F3. The current specifications will be listed at the very bottom of

the screen.

Change user name – After selecting the CHANGE USER NAME box, enter a new

name (up to 24 characters) and press ENTER to save changes and return to the options

menu. NOTE: This setting will not change user mode. It only changes the actual name

corresponding to the current user.

Change or enter a password – To change an existing password or enter a new password

corresponding to the current user, select the CHANGE PASSWORD box from the

options menu. You will be prompted to enter a password 5 –



8 characters long. Once you

have entered a password, press ENTER and then re-enter it at the next prompt.

Change user mode – There are two user modes supported by QuickPAD Pro: single-user

and multi-user. To determine which mode is best for your needs, see section 1.3.3 on user

modes. To change the mode, select the CHANGE USER MODE box from the options

menu and refer to the prompt at the bottom of the screen. Press Yif you wish to change

the mode. NOTE: You can switch back and forth between single-user and multi-user

modes without discarding user profiles. Files created by a user in multi-user mode will be

accessible only to that user, and will not be available in single-user mode. In other words,

if user F4 creates a spreadsheet file and saves it to his/her personal directory, the only

way to access that file is in multi-user mode signed in as user F4.

Set id e time – The idle timeout refers to the number of minutes QuickPAD will wait

before powering down. The minimum time is 1 minute and the maximum time is 75

minutes. From the main options menu, select F8 or highlight the box labeled MORE

SETUP. This will bring up the second setup screen. Now select the box labeled SET

IDLE TIMEOUT. At the prompt, enter the desired idle timeout and press ENTER to exit

and save changes.

file transfer (see section 2.3.3) and import them into MS Outlook using “ Comma

Separated (DOS) or (Windows) Format”. Export files to the CALENDAR folder

for appointments and the CONTACTS folder for contacts in the Microsoft Outlook directory.

Export files – The export function will convert your files to (.csv) format

and save them in the "...\PERSORG" directory. You can then access these files through

Change sticky keys – Sticky keys refer to the use of the SHIFT and CTRL keys. Without

the sticky keys feature enabled, you must hold down SHIFT or CTRL in conjunction with

another key. For example, to capitalize the letter a, you would hold down SHIFT and press

asimultaneously. With the sticky key enabled, you can simply press SHIFT and release,

and the next letter you press will be capitalized. The same applies to the CTRL key. To

change this setting, press F2 or highlight the box labeled CHANGE STICKY from the

second options menu. Toggle between (Sticky Keys) ON and (Sticky Keys) OFF with the

SPACEBAR, and press ENTER when you have finished.

Change keyboard settings -- There are two settings that apply to the keyboard: key

delay and key repeat. “Key delay”refers to the response speed from when you type a key

to when it appears on the screen (1 being the fastest and 4 being the slowest). “Key

repeat”refers to the speed of repetition when you hold down a key (1 being the slowest

and 32 being the fastest). For example, if you have key repeat set to one and you hold

down the letter ain a text field, subsequent a’s will appear rather slowly. To change these

settings, open the second options menu screen and press F3 or select the box labeled SET

KEY SPEED. Use the left and right arrow keys to navigate the window and numerically

type in your desired speeds. When finished press ENTER to exit and save changes.

2.3. COMMUNICATE WITH PC (MAC OR IBM PC)

QuickPAD Pro offers multiple methods of communicating with Macintosh and

Windows-based computers. Depending on the direction of the data transfer, the size of

the file to be transferred and the available interfaces on your computer, you can

determine the method that is best for you. The following information in this section

discusses these different methods, as well as general know-how for transferring files and

setting up the communication links.

2.3.1. Connecting to a Computer

There are three ways to directly connect QuickPAD Pro to a personal computer: USB,

Serial, and Infrared (IR). Both of the physical cables, USB and Serial, come standard in

the QuickPAD Pro package. The IR receiver, however, is an optional purchase and can

be obtained by contacting QuickPAD Technology Corporation.

Connect using a USB cab e – Using any standard USB cable (the one included is black),

insert the square-shaped end into the back of the QuickPAD and the thin rectangular end

into the back of your computer. Connect the cable only after QuickPAD is turned on.

Since USB is plug-and-play, you should not need to manually install any drivers on your

computer. However, if there is no response or activity from your computer when you

insert the USB cable you may need to manually install a USB driver or adjust the USB

transfer speed. If this is the case, please refer to the troubleshooting guide at the end of

this section.
