MEMORY CAPACITY

Your data directory displays storage space in bytes.  It has 128,260 bytes
of storage space available before you start storing records.

Telephone/Business Card Records

Each telephone/business card record uses 1 byte for each character, digit,
and space you enter in a field, 1 byte each time you press the return key 
(RECALL or RETURN) to end a line in the ADD field, plus 2 bytes overhead 
for each field.  For example, the following telephone/business card record 
uses 80 bytes of storage space.

Note Files

Each note file uses 1 byte for each character, digit, and space you enter,
1 byte each time you press the return key (RECALL or RETURN) to end a line, 
and 4 bytes overhead for each note file.  For example, the following note 
file uses 33 bytes of storage space.

enter, 1 byte each time you press the return key (RECALL or RETURN) to end a 
line, and 10 bytes overhead for each schedule message. For example, the 
following schedule message uses 43 bytes of storage space.

Each expense record uses 14 bytes.

CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY

To see how much storage space is available, press MENU to save any card 
file or note you are working on, then press CARD FILE or NOTES.  The number
to the right of MEMORY USED  : shows the amount of storage space (in bytes)
you have already used, and the number to the right of MEMORY LEFT  : shows
the amount of storage space (in bytes) you have left.

NOTE:  MEMORY FULL appears on the display if no storage space is available.
       To free up storage space, you can delete old telephone/business card
       records or notes.  See "Deleting Telephone/Business Card Records"
       and "Deleting Notes."

DATA ENTRY TIPS

    Press SPACE to enter a space.

    To delete or replace a character, repeatedly press < (REV or REVERSE),
    > (FWD or FORWARD), the solid ^ , or the solid v to move the flashing 
    cursor over the character, then press DEL to delete the character.  
    Then enter the correct character, if necessary.

    Press CAP to change from lower-case to capital letters.  If you 
    repeatedly press CAP until a dash appears above the CAP graphic on the
    keypad, the EC-359 prints capital letters when you press letter keys.  
    If you repeatedly press CAP until the dash above CAP disappears, the
    EC-359 prints lower-case letters when you press letter keys.

    Press SHF to shift only the next letter key you press to a capital 
    letter, lower-case letter, or the special character printed next to the
    letter key.  If you repeatedly press SHF until a dash appears above the
    SHF graphic on the keypad, the EC-359 prints a capital letter, or 
    lower-case letter, or the special character printed next to the key,
    the next time you press a letter key.  Then, after you press the letter
    key, the dash above SHF disappears, and the EC-359 prints all capital
    or lower-case letters again when you press letter keys.

The EC-359 can print any of the following special characters.

        !                       (                       "
        #                       )                       ?
        $                       ;                       /
        &                       :                       ,
                                                        *

    Press INS to insert letters, numbers, or special characters.  If you
    repeatedly press INS until a dash appears above the INS graphic on the
    keypad, a flashing line appears on the display.  Press < (REV or 
    REVERSE), > (FWD or FORWARD), the solid ^ , or the solid v to move the 
    flashing line to the position where you want to insert the characters, 
    then insert the characters.  After you insert the characters you want, 
    repeatedly press INS until the flashing line on the display and the
    dash above the INS disappear.

    Press MENU at any time to clear the display and return to the main menu
    screen.  The EC-359 automatically stores your file.

    To get the most from you EC-359's storage space, use abbreviations
    whenever possible.
