Use this mode to plan your schedule of classes, homework, appointments,
etc.  You can record the date, time, and type of appointment for each
listing.  Dates on which you have scheduled things are automatically
marked on the calendar.

Entering the Schedule Mode

There are two main ways to get into the Schedule Mode:
directly, or through the Calendar Mode.

To go directly into the Schedule Mode:

On the main menu, highlight the Schedule Mode icon (SYMBOL).  Then press
EXE. "Schedule?" or appointments scheduled for the current date will be
shown on screen.

To enter the Schedule Mode by way of the Calendar Mode:

On the main menu, highlight the Calendar Mode icon.  Then press EXE twice.
The first time you press EXE. it will put you in the Calendar Mode; the
second time, it will put you in the Schedule Mode.

Icons

The Schedule Mode gives you a selection of small images, or icons, so that
you can understand at a glance what appointments you have scheduled for
any day.  All of the available icons are shown in the manual.  When you
schedule any appointment, use whatever icon you wish to represent it.

Delete Icon

Select this DEL icon to delete any other icon from your schedule.

Entering Schedule Data

Let's say you want to note that you have a birthday party to attend on
September 17, 1994.  You're supposed to be there at 11:00 in the morning,
and the party should run until about 3:00 in the afternoon.  We've got a
good icon for birthday parties: SYMBOL.

Specifying a Date

The first thing you need to do, in order to schedule that party, is tell
Secret Sender the date when it will happen.  There are two ways to do
this:

    Scrolling

    Direct input

To select a date using the scrolling method:

Use UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW to scroll past the days until the date you
want is displayed.

To select a date using the direct input method:

1.  Press FUNCTION.  Then use UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to highlight "Date".
    Press EXE.

2.  Type in the desired date.  For our birthday party - you'd type:
    0 9 1 7 1 9 9 4.  Then press EXE.

Using an Icon

The next step in scheduling our party would be to enter an appropriate
icon for quick reference.  To do this:

1.  Press FUNCTION.  Then use UP ARROW to highlight "Icons."  Press EXE.

2.  Use UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, LEFT ARROW, and RIGHT ARROW to highlight the
    icon you want to use.  Use UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW to change screens.

3.  Press EXE.  The icon you selected appears on the display.

Describing the Event

Now you'll want to type in a description of the event.  You can use up to
372 characters for the description.  If you input three or more lines of
text, the topmost line will scroll off the top of the display, and "UP
ARROW" will be displayed in the screen's upper left corner.

For our party, type in : B I R T H D A Y SHIFT LEFT ARROW P A R T Y EXE.
"Time?" appears on the display.

Specifying the Time

Type in the desired time.  For our birthday party - and assuming you've
chosen this format in Timekeeping - you'd type:

1.  1100

2.  If you have set Secret Sender for 12-hour timekeeping, you'll need to
    press AM/PM until the display reads "11:00 am."

3.  You don't need to specify an end time.  But, since we want to do so
    here, type in 0300.  If you are on 12-hour timekeeping, then press
    AM/PM until the display reads "3:00 pm."  If you are on 24-hour
    timekeeping, type in 1500.  In either case, afterwards press EXE.

4.  "Schedule?" will appear on the display.  Secret Sender is asking if
    you would like to schedule another appointment, since you're done
    scheduling this one.

Note:  If you attempt to store more data than there is room for, the
       message, "Memory Full!: will appear on the display.  If this
       happens, press AC/ON to clear the message,.  Then delete
       unnecessary data, and try entering the data again.

       If you press AC/ON or C/CLR during data display, "Schedule?" will
       appear on the display.

       If you press C/CLR while entering data, "Schedule?", or "Time?, "
       will reappear.  If you press AC/ON while you are entering data,
       "Schedule?" will appear on the display.

Scheduling an Alarm

You can set an alarm to sound for 20 seconds at the time of any
appointment.

Automatic Sorting

Appointments noted on a day, but without an assigned time, are located at
the beginning of that day's schedule.  When the day and starting time of
two appointments are the same, they are shown in the order in which they
were entered.

Appointment Markers

Dates with appointments are marked on the calendar display.

Recalling Schedule Data

Secret Sender offers five ways to recall Schedule Mode information:

    daily sequential search

    appointment sequential search

    initial character and icon search

    calendar search

    date search

To recall data using daily sequential search:

1.  Go into the Schedule Mode.

2.  Use UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW to scroll through the days, holding down
    either key lets you scroll quickly.

To recall data using appointment sequential search:

1.  Enter the Schedule Mode.

2.  Press SHIFT, then press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW.  This will jump to the
    next date on which you have something scheduled.

    When you've jumped past the last date with appointments scheduled.
    "Not Found!" will appear on the display.  To return the screen to the
    way it was before you began the search, press LEFT ARROW or RIGHT
    ARROW.

    If no schedule data is stored for any date, "No Record!" will appear
    on the screen.

To recall data using initial character and icon search:

1.  Enter the Schedule Mode.

2.  Select either an icon or a written description of an event to search
    for.  To search for an icon, press FUNCTION, press UP ARROW to
    highlight "Icons" and then use UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, LEFT ARROW, and
    RIGHT ARROW to highlight the desired icon.  Then press EXE.  To
    search for a written description of the event, type in up to 16
    characters that you remember using in describing the appointment.  For
    example, to search for our September 17 birthday party, you could
    type: B I R T H D A Y.

    You can also search for data by specifying both an icon and initial
    character.  When you do, be sure to specify the icon first.

3.  Press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to start the search.  Pressing DOWN ARROW
    causes Secret Sender to search for the nearest date in the future.
    Pressing UP ARROW causes the unit to search for the most recent date
    in the past.

    Both future and past, for this operation, are relative to whatever
    date Secret Sender is displaying, in Schedule Mode, when you begin to
    search.  This need not be the same as the actual, present date.

4.  If the appointment data you have specified can't be found, "Not
    Found!: will appear on the display.  To return the screen to the way
    it was before you began the search, press LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW.
    You can edit your search data and try again.

    While a search is in progress, the indicator, "SEARCH" is shown on the
    display.

    shown.
