ROLODEX EC-339, EC-340, EC-348  (65-939, 65-940, 65-840)  DATA TRANSFER

The catalog and manuals discuss data transfer between these three units,
however, it does not mention that the file formats are different.

On the EC-339 and the EC-340 the phone number field and the fax number
field are on the same line. On the EC-348 the fields are on separate
 lines.

When you transfer data between them the Fax number will not be moved to
the next line on the EC-348.  Deleting the Fax number will allow the
EC-348 to transfer data with no problems.

The 650-0840 organizer and Rolodex's comparable model will not communicate
effectively.  This is because the software in Rolodex's model has been
updated and now inserts a comma in between two telephone numbers in
an entry.  This comma does not exist in the 650-0840 organizer.  The
Rolodex model will take data from the 650-0840 and if an entry has two
phone numbers, it will automatically add a comma between them.  However,
if the 65-0840 receives data (a two number entry) from the Rolodex model
with this comma, it will lock up during data transfer and must then be
reset.

The EC-348 can have only a 12-digit entry in the number field. An entry of
more than 12 digits will cause a lock up of this unit.
