Press the button on the front of your Palm III organizer to open the Memo Pad application. 2. Tap the New button to open a new Memo Page.
There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti: ■ If you draw the character shape exactly as shown in the tables later in this chapter (like the shapes shown in the following diagram), you achieve 100% accuracy. ■ The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke. Certain characters have similar shapes, but different beginning and end points. Always begin the stroke at the heavy dot. ■ Most characters require only a single stroke.
Lift stylus here Start stroke at heavy dot As you’ll see later, you use these shapes to create both upper- and lowercase letters. 3. Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area. 4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the table. Note: Don’t try to draw the dot shape itself. The heavy dot is there to show the starting point of the stroke. 5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.

Writing Capital Letters With Graffiti You make capital letters with the same stroke shapes as the basic alphabet characters. To make capital letters, you must first “shift” to caps — just as you press the Shift key on a keyboard — and then write the character strokes. Note: Graffiti includes a Smart Shifting feature which automatically capitalizes the first letter when you create a new entry (by tapping a New button or a blank line).
Graffiti Numbers Number Strokes Number 0 5 1 6 2 7 3 8 4 9 Strokes Writing Punctuation Marks With Graffiti Graffiti can create any punctuation symbol that you can enter from a standard keyboard. All punctuation marks begin with a single tap on the Graffiti writing area. When you make this tap, you activate Punctuation Shift and a dot appears to show it is active. The next stroke you make with the stylus creates a punctuation mark. Punctuation shift Symbol Stroke Symbol Period .
Additional Graffiti Punctuation @ # % ^ & * < \ { } [ ] ` ~ > ; – + = | : " tab Note: When Punctuation Shift is active, you can make a symbol stroke anywhere in the Graffiti writing area (the letters or numbers side). Writing Symbols and Extended Characters All symbols and extended characters begin with the stroke in the Graffiti writing area of your Palm III: Symbol Shift When the Symbol Shift is active, a slanted shift symbol appears in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Writing Accented Characters To create accented characters, draw the stroke normally used to create the letter, followed by an accent stroke. Graffiti then adds the accent to the letter. For example, the following diagram shows the strokes required to draw an accented “e.
Navigation Strokes In addition to character symbols, Graffiti includes special strokes that you can use to navigate within text or fields in your Palm III organizer applications. Command Stroke Move cursor right Move cursor left Previous field (Address Book only) Next Field (Address Book only) Open Address Record (Address Book only) Graffiti ShortCuts Graffiti’s ShortCuts make entering commonly used words or phrases quick and easy.
Your Palm III organizer includes the following predefined Graffiti ShortCuts: Entry ShortCut Entry ShortCut Date stamp ds Breakfast br Time stamp ts Lunch lu Date / time stamp dts Dinner di Meeting me For example, if you want to enter the current date and time, you would draw the following strokes: Using Application Controls Palm III applications include several types of controls.
Button. Tap a button to perform a command. Buttons appear with different text depending on their function. In most cases, tapping a button opens or closes a dialog. A dialog is a screen that appears on your Palm III organizer, prompting you to enter information or make settings. A dialog always contains an OK, Cancel or Done button, so you can close the dialog when you are through with it. The on-screen keyboard is an example of a dialog. Scroll bar. Drag the slider to scroll the display one line at a time.
Tap the Menus icon In this example, three menus are available: Record, Edit and Options. The Record menu is selected and contains the “New Memo,” “Delete Memo” and “Beam Memo” commands. Choosing a Menu After you activate the menus for an application, tap the menu that contains the command you want to use. The menus and menu commands that are available depend on the application that is currently running on your Palm III organizer.
To use the Graffiti menu commands, draw the Command stroke followed by the corresponding command letter. When you draw the Command stroke, the Command symbol appears just above the Graffiti writing area to indicate that you are in Command mode. Command For example, to activate the Select All command in the previous diagram, draw the Command stroke, followed by the letter “s.” Note: You do not have to tap the icon or access the menus when you use the Graffiti menu commands.
The following commands may appear in an Edit menu: Undo Reverses the action of the last edit command. For example, if you used the Cut command to remove text, the Undo command replaces the text you removed. Cut Removes the selected text and stores it temporarily in the memory of your Palm III organizer. You can paste the text you cut into another area of the Palm III organizer application or into a different Palm III organizer application.
Choosing Fonts In most of your Palm III organizer applications, you can change the font style to make the text on the screen easier to read. You can even choose a different font style for each application that supports this feature. Note: The Expense application does not support changing fonts. To change the font style: 1. Open a Palm III organizer application. 2. Tap the icon to open the menus at the top of the screen. 3. Tap Font from the Options menu to open the Select Font dialog.
Using Categories Categories can help you group Address entries, To Do items or Memos for easy review. You cannot, however, assign categories to Date Book events. When you first create an entry, it is “Unfiled,” which means it does not belong to any particular category. You can leave an entry as Unfiled or assign it to a category at any time. Either way, the entry is always available until you delete it. The category you choose is used only for sorting and reviewing records.
Using Categories in Lists After you assign categories to your entries, you can easily display lists of your entries by category. To use categories in a List screen: 1. Tap the category pick list in the upper-right corner of the List screen. Tap here 2. Tap the category of entries that you want to view. Note: The List screen changes to show only the records that you filed in the selected category. 3.
To define a new Address Book category: 1. Tap the category pick list in the upper-right corner of the screen. Tap here 2. Tap the Edit Categories item to open the Edit Categories dialog. 3. Tap the New button to open another Edit Categories dialog. 4. Enter the name of the new category, and tap the OK button to close the Edit Categories dialog. 5. Tap the OK button to close the first Edit Categories dialog and view your new category in the pick list.
Renaming Categories You can also use the Edit Categories dialog to change the names of any existing category. To change the name of an Address Book category: 1. Tap the category pick list in the upper-right corner of the screen. 2. Tap the Edit Categories item to open the Edit Categories dialog. 3. Tap the category that you want to rename, and then tap the Rename button to open another Edit Categories dialog. 4.
Attaching Notes Palm III organizer applications (except the Memo Pad) enable you to attach a note to an entry. A note is anything that you want to write, and can be up to several thousand characters long. For example, if you have an appointment in the Date Book application, you could attach a note with directions to the location. To attach a note to an entry: 1. Display the entry where you want to add a note. 2. Tap the Details button to open the Details dialog. 3.
Beaming Information to Other 3Com® Connected Organizers Your Palm III organizer is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that you can use to “beam” information from one 3Com® connected organizer to another. The IR port is located at the top of the Palm III organizer behind the small dark shield. Note: If you are using a device other than a Palm III organizer, please confirm that your device includes the required infrared hardware before you use this feature.
4. Wait for the Beam Status dialog to indicate that the transfer is complete before you continue working on your Palm III organizer. To receive beamed information: 1. Turn on your Palm III organizer. 2. Point the IR port directly at the IR port of the transmitting 3Com connected organizer to open the Beam Status dialog. 3. Tap the Yes button to accept the transmission. 4. Wait for the Beam Status dialog to indicate that the transfer is complete, and then tap the OK button to display the new entry.

Chapter 5 Getting Help With Your Palm III™ Organizer There are several ways to get help with your Palm III™ connected organizer. You can display online tips on your Palm III organizer and you can review the troubleshooting section in this chapter and on your Palm™ Desktop software CD or diskettes. If you need additional assistance, there are several ways to contact 3Com® Technical Support. This chapter provides details on each of these methods.
Troubleshooting If you encounter a problem with your Palm III organizer, look in this section for the description that most closely matches the symptoms you observe and try the suggestions listed. Important: For troubleshooting tips not included in this handbook, refer to either the README.TXT file or the HelpNotes file located in the Palm Desktop directory. These files are also on the installation CD-ROM (and diskettes).
■ Make sure the modem connected to your computer is turned on and is connected to the outgoing phone line. ■ Confirm that your modem doesn't have an auto-off feature enabled. ■ Make sure the modem is connected properly to a serial port on your computer and is connected to the incoming phone line. ■ Confirm that the Setup String in the Setup dialog box configures your modem correctly. You may need to select a different Modem Type or enter a custom Setup String.
■ If the telephone line you are using has Call Waiting, make sure you selected the Disable call waiting option under Modem Sync Phone Setup on your Palm III organizer and entered the correct code. ■ Make sure the telephone line you are using is not noisy, which can interrupt communications. ■ Make sure your modem resets before you try again. (Turn off your modem, wait a minute, then turn it back on.) General Troubleshooting Palm III organizer does not turn on: ■ Adjust the contrast control.
Palm III organizer doesn’t recognize my handwriting: ■ For your Palm III organizer to recognize handwriting input with the stylus, you need to use the Graffiti® character strokes. See “Writing With the Stylus” for information about how to write Graffiti character strokes. ■ Make the Graffiti character strokes in the Graffiti writing area — not on the display part of the screen.
When receiving beamed data an out of memory message appears: ■ Your Palm III organizer requires at least twice amount of memory available as the data you are receiving. For example, if you are receiving a 30K application, you must have at least 60K free. Security Troubleshooting I forgot the password, and my Palm III organizer is not locked: ■ You can use the Security application to delete the password. If you do this, your Palm III organizer deletes all entries marked as Private.
Memo Pad application: ■ If you cannot manually arrange the order of the memos in the List screen, check the Memo Preferences setting. Make sure that Sort by is set to Manual. ■ If you choose to view your memos alphabetically on Palm Desktop and then perform a HotSync operation, the memos on your Palm III organizer still appear in the order defined in the Memo Preferences setting. In other words, the sort settings that you use with Palm Desktop are not transferred to your Palm III organizer.

Chapter 6 Maintaining Your Palm III™ Organizer This chapter provides information to help you take proper care of your Palm III™ connected organizer and prolong battery life. It also discusses how to reset your Palm III organizer. Caring for Your Palm III Organizer Your Palm III organizer is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service.
Battery Considerations Please note the following considerations when replacing the batteries in your Palm III organizer: ■ Under normal conditions, your Palm III organizer batteries should provide several months of use. You can conserve battery life by minimizing the use of the backlight feature, and changing the “Auto-off after” setting that automatically turns the Palm III organizer off after a period of inactivity (see “General Preferences” in the Applications Handbook for the Palm III Organizer).
Resetting Your Palm III Organizer Under normal circumstances, you will never have to use the reset button. However, on rare occasions your Palm III organizer may “hang” (no longer respond to buttons or the screen). In this case, you need to perform a reset to get your Palm III organizer running again. Performing a Soft Reset A soft reset tells your Palm III organizer to stop what it’s doing and start over again. All records and entries stored in your Palm III organizer are retained with a soft reset.
To perform a hard reset: 1. Hold down the green power button on the front panel of the Palm III organizer. 2. While holding down the power button, use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip) to gently press the reset button. 3.
