EC-439 Data Organizer
(650-0849)          Transmit and Receive Data         Faxback Doc. # 17151

The Personal Information Organizer can transmit information between other
Personal Information Organizers.  The following types of information can
be exchanged:  Telephone Directory, Schedule Information, Memo and Expense
Manager.  Transmitted information between units must be the same type.  For
example, Telephone data from the sending unit can only be received as
Telephone data in the receiving unit.  Secret and non-secret data can be
transmitted.

Information received in non-secret mode will be stored as non-secret.
Information stored in secret data mode will be stored as secret data,
regardless of status in sending unit.

NOTES ON DATA TRANSMISSION

Data can be transmitted between units via supplied unit to unit link cable
or infra-red data transfer.

All tranmsmitted data is stored in the receiving unit on a memory space
available basis.  There is no over writing of identical records previously
transmitted.

When the transmission of data is conducted by infra-red communication, it
should not be interfered with during transmission.  Doing so may disrupt
communication between units and invalidate the transmission.

To transmit data by infra-red, the two units must be placed along side each
other (most touching, no gap) per the description below.  For unit to unit
cable link, simply plug in wire to each unit.  For large data
transmissions, the transmission time may be more than a few minutes.

Remark:  Before sending information from the sending unit, prepare the
         receiving unit to accept data by following the instructions below
         under "receiving data".

         Press <C-CE> on the transmitting unit to stop the data
         transmission.  After stopping the transmission, the receiving unit
         will show "DATA TRANSMISSION INCOMPLETE".

         To send and receive data, you must first prepare the receiving
         unit to accept data and immediately transmit data from sending
         unit once you can see the "DATA IS BEING RECEIVED" message on the
         receiving unit.
