The Sharp Wizard/Zaurus Frequently Asked Questions and Answers List (FAQ) is intended to help reduce the number of repeat questions that appear in the Sharp Wizard section of the Palmtop A CompuServe forum and the Sharp Zaurus section of the Palmtop B Compuserve foru It helps users with questions by providing instant access to their answers; it helps other readers of the section, who will have to read fewer of the questions they see over and over again. Often answers to frequently asked questions are already available in the section's library or messages in one or more documents. In these cases, this FAQ will tell the reader where to find the information in question. Thus, when possible, this document will only point you to another document - that one may have the information you need, or it may point you somewhere else. This approach is beneficial because it reduces duplicated work and it increases your chances of finding the most current, reliable information. The editor tries to keep this document current, remember that the Wizard/Zaurus line and accessories available from both Sharp and 3rd party vendors are constantly changing, so don't be surprised if you find statements which are outdated. 0.2: HOW CAN I CONTRIBUTE TO THIS FAQ?

WHAT IS A ZAURUS? WHAT IS NOT? Wizards are full-featured, pocket size information managers manufactured by Sharp Electronics. The Wizard models currently distributed in the United States are series OZ-9000 models. All models have in common an easy-to-use graphical user interface, a large LCD screen, pen-based panel operation, IC card slot for applications and expanded memory, special software features which include built-in fax software and the sophisticated but easy to use filer application which allows data to be organized by topics instead of data type. The Zaurus is a wireless communications capable, keyboard enhanced, personal digital assistant(PDA) which combines Sharp's pen based graphical interface for note-taking and keyboard based word processing in a pocket sized unit. The Zaurus models currently to be distributed (expected February 1995) in the United States are series ZR-5000 models. Both models have in common an easy-to-use graphical user interface, a large LCD screen with a multi-windowed display, pen-based panel operation, PCMCIA type II card slot for applications and expanded memory, an industry standard (IRDA) infrared port and special software features which include built-in e-mail, send fax software and a sophisticated linking application which allows data to be organized by topics instead of data type. Sharp also manufactures other pocket size, electronic tools. These are called Electronic Organizers which includes the YO 100, 300 and 600 series models. While these are capable products they do not have the sophisticated software, graphical user interface and pen-based panel operation featured in the OZ 9000 and ZR 5000 series. Only the YO-6X0 electronic Organizers are covered in this FAQ, the YO-100 and 200 series are not presently covered in this FAQ except with regard to connectivity between Wizards and Zaurus's. ============================================================================== SECTION 1: WHAT IS HOT...? 1.0: A GOOD DEAL ON A RAM CARD? Integration Systems (800) 645-4511 has a, quantities limited, offer on new Sharp IQ-783 256k RAM cards. These are great to use for expanded memory or backing up a 8600 or 9600 series Wizard. Cost $99.00. Jim Guy of Integration Systems posted this message in the CompuServe forum on 10/3/94. 1.1 A SPECIAL OFFER ON WIRELESS INTERFACE FOR PC AND PRINTER. Actisys till further notice has a special pricing on its ACT-IR3S wireless Wizard interface. The list price is $269.99 and it is now available for $149.99. See the Third Party Vendor information for further details on this device. 1.2 A SPECIAL OFFER ON IC CARDS FOR 9000 WIZARDS RA-LIN of Syracuse, NY has some great offers on IC cards for the 9000 Wizard series and also Organizer Link software. They are closing out their stock and many of the cards are available for $14.99. Organizer link software at great prices and RAM cards of varying sizes are available. Call for current stock. Speak to Tracy (315) 472-7872 who is familiar with the Wizards. They take credit cards and ship UPS. ============================================================================== SECTION 2: HOW DO I...? 2.0: HOW DO I ACCESS OR BACKUP THE RAM CARD PREVIOUSLY USED WITH A 8000 SERIES WIZARD? OZ-9000 series products cannot use RAM cards formatted for the OZ-8000 series, except to import data, a one-way process. You must reformat the RAM card for the OZ-9000 series by taking the battery out and reinserting the battery. The RAM card will lose all of its data. Next the RAM card must be installed in the OZ-9000 series Wizard and reinitialized. See the OZ-9000 Wizards manual for further instructions on this process. Once you do that, the OZ-9000 and 9000 series link software, e.g. 990W software, will recognize the RAM card. ============================================================================== SECTION 3: MISCELLANEOUS Q & A 3.0: Q - What is the difference betweent the 8xxx and the 8xxxs models? A - The "s" models have a rougher texture on the outside of the case. Q - I have a OZ-9520 and sometimes the lid slips down slowly when I am typing, is there a simple solution to prevent this ? A - First "reset" the hinge tightening mechanism by closing the lid (you don't need to latch it) then rotate the display to the desired angle without "back tracking". If you "back track" you need to "reset" the mechanism again by closing the lid. If this doesn't work, then the Wizard probably needs to be sent to a Sharp Service Center to be repaired. Q - When I use the Wizard's search function the dialog box obscures the text I need to review, what can I do? A - The dialog box is a freely moveable window. Just touch your pen to the edge of the dialog box and drag it out of the way. ============================================================================= SECTION 4: I NEED INFORMATION ABOUT... Where to get information about Wizards AMERICA ONLINE The Palmtop/PDA Forum is the place to go for Wizard information. The resource available here include original reviews and compilations of Wizard information prepared by AOL staff members. Candace Van Auken, a PDA Forum Consultant has kindly given permission to include her PenCell Spreadsheet IC Card compilation which was posted on AOL. COMPUSERVE The PALMTOP A forum is the home of the Sharp Wizard user's section. The distribution of this Wizard "FAQ" originates here.

Is the model officially discontinued? Inquiring minds would like to know! 2 - A new family of handheld devices from Sharp was announced on December 15, 1994 in New York. Two models, the ZR-5000 and ZR-5000 FX, called the ZAURUS were introduced. Zaurus is a wireless communications capable, keyboard enhanced, personal digital assistant which combines Sharp's pen based graphical interface for note-taking and keyboard based word processing in a pocket sized unit. It can send and receive E-mail, send faxes, access on-line services, exchange information with local and remote PCs, take notes on an electronic notepad, create maps and drawings, generate documents with an intelligent word processor, and manage time and information anytime, anywhere. The Zaurus extends the synergy of the pen and keyboard established in the Wizard organizer series. Zaurus combines the convenience of the pen, for note-taking, drawing, and accessing information, and the productivity of a keyboard for text intensive applications like messaging and word processing. Zaurus combines this software with an enhanced 16-bit processor and industry standard peripheral interfaces to make this new PDA the logical successor to Sharp's successful Wizard products. 3 - At Comdex 1994 Sharp showed its full-sized PC-8900 and PC-8700 notebooks. To tap into Sharp's base of almost 10 million Wizard palmtop users, the PCs will include built-in infrared support and a utility for uploading and downloading data from the organizers, Sharp officials said. The infrared utility will enable 8700 and 8900 users to quickly transfer data to and from any Wizard organizer that's equipped with infrared. ============================================================================== Current USA Models as of February 1995 Model Basic description OZ 6500 512K OZ 6500 FX bundle of OZ 6500 and CE-FM4 fax/modem OZ 9520 512k version of OZ 9500 OZ 9520 FX bundle of OZ 9520 and CE-FM4 fax/modem OZ 9600 discontinued, replaced by OZ 9600 II OZ 9600 II 512k ZR 5000 1M ZR 5000 FX bundle of ZR 5000 and CE-FM4 fax/modem ============================================================================== Equivalence Between Model Numbers of Wizards Currently Distributed in America and Models Distributed Worldwide USA model Worldwide model OZ 9500 = IQ 8900 OZ 9520 = IQ 8920 OZ 9520 FX = OZ 9600 II = IQ 9200 Note: suffixes on worldwide models Canada/UK = none Germany = G France = F ============================================================================== Equivalence Between Model Numbers of Wizards Discontinued From Distribution in America and Models Worldwide USA model Worldwide model OZ 9600 = IQ 9000 256k, in Canada OZ 8200 = IQ 8300 in Canada multilingual with 128k OZ 7400 = IQ 7400 64k, ABC keyboard in Australia OZ 7420 = IQ 7420 32k, ABC keyboard in Australia ============================================================================== Equivalence Between Model Numbers of Electronic Organizers Distributed in America and Worldwide USA model Worldwide model YO 300 YO 310 = ZQ 6300 in Canada YO 320 YO 350 YO 370 YO 600 = ZQ 6100 in Europe YO 610 = ZQ 6300 in Europe YO 620 = ============================================================================== OZ - 9500 / 9520 Wizard Description Model: OZ-9500 / 9520 Pen Wizard List Price: $549 / $649 Available: at most electronic stores, etc. Display: 160 x 240 dot touch matrix display 20 x 40 characters (varies per application) Can use pen or finger to touch display.

Free stop hinge (can set screen at any angle). 4. No AC adaptor, only CE-76BC battery pack. Major software differences: 1. FAX software built-in 2. No overlapping windows (Scrapbook, Calculator, etc.) Minor software differences: 1. Slightly more user memory per model (10K more than 9600 series). 2. Pressing Calendar key always returns to monthly (or weekly if set default) 3. Touching Telephone key toggles between Tel1, Tel2, Tel3 (Same for UserFile 4. PageUp/PageDown feature available via Keyboard in most major apps including DAILY view. 5. Better IR unit to unit feedback (it tells the receiver "Connected"). 6. To Do Categories easier to access when viewing To Do lists (via dialog box 7. Pressing SEARCH then typing OVERWRITES any previous search word on display 8. Improved Menu navigation (Now multiple menus in menu bar, etc.) 9. Slightly faster screen updates (again, because of smaller screen). 10. HOME & END key commands to jump to the first/last Scrapbook entry. 11. More printer emulations including continuous feed printers. 12.

When Wizard is turned ON and you press CALENDAR, it will go to *today*. 14. No 6 month Calendar, only a 3 month. 15. Cannot select a number in an application and then automatically bring it into the CALC mode like you can on the 9600 (you can copy & paste however) 16. A number of even more minor changes. Some features may be missing from this list. Specifications and design are subject to change without notice. ============================================================================== OZ - 9600II Wizard Description Not available at this time. ============================================================================== OZ - 6500 / 6500 FX Wizard Description Model: Wizard OZ-6500 Personal Information Organizer FX version is a bundle with CE-FM4 fax/modem.

Keyboard: QWERTY style. Memory: 1Mbyte internal memory, 750K available for user data and add-on software programs. Interface: - Graphical user interface provides standard interface elements such as check boxes, radio buttons, scroll bars, and pop-up menus. - Pen enabled features: text selection, drag and drop, and sliding the pen for time selection provide fast and intuitive operation. Note-taking feature allows quick and easy data capture for situations when the keyboard is not convenient. - Drawings are stored as objects, not images, meaning less memory usage per page and the ability to display notes in a 50% reduced window while maintaining readability. Communication: - Infrared (IR) "Digital ASK" infrared technology (developed by Sharp) which includes a 115.2 Kbps Infrared Data Association (IRDA) compatible and 19.2 Kbps ASK modes. Zaurus can wirelessly exchange information with infrared equipped PCs, laptops, and other infrared equipped devices such as Newton based PDAs and Sharp Wizards. IRDA devices can link up to 10 feet apart. - PCMCIA type II for wireless modems, pagers, fax/modems. - Serial (modem, PC) Sharp CE-FM4 9600bps/2400bps fax/modem attaches directly to the serial port. Modem adds very little additional size to the main unit but leaves the PCMCIA Type II slot open. Expansion: - PCMCIA type II cards to expand memory and communications. Additional memory up to 2 megabyte SRAM cards or 16 megabyte FLASH cards. Cellular capable Fax/modems and pager cards.

Software Design: - Synergy operating system which is hidden from the user, freeing one from the burden of system management. - "Data-centric" approach provides the ability to relate different types of information such as Activities, Contacts, Notes and Documents. Zaurus links information automatically or the user can manually link information. Linking allows the user to jump directly from one entry to another linked entry. One can while viewing a contact's information, also see a list of all related entries whether they be past and upcoming meetings, notes taken, action items, or even letters written to that particular contact. Smart Features: - Automatic letter formatting in the word processor. Type in the main body of a letter, select a recipient, and the Zaurus will automatically fill in the heading and closing, insert the date, align and space paragraphs, and even insert the user's signature. - Word processor has spell checking capabilities. - Drawing application features are available for use from within other applications such as Documents, Contacts, and Data Files. Maps, sketches, signatures, logos, and even company letterhead can be imbedded within a these applications. Built-in Applications: - Calculator - World time - Scrapbook - Filer - Search - Tools - Help - Activities - Contacts - Data Files - Notes (pen based ink processor) - Documents (keyboard based word processor) - Outlines - Communications Communications: - Connects to a regular or cellular phone to send or receive messages and data using public E-mail services, AT&T Mail (R), on-line services such as CompuServe (R). - Send fax documents and other information. - Optional Zaurus Mail system allows small work groups to exchange messages and data using a single Windows(R) based PC as an electronic post office. Small companies or departments can "inexpensively" set up this Zaurus Mail system that allows them to keep in contact with the home office and each other. Users can access their Zaurus Mail in the office via infrared technology or they can dial into the system from the road. In addition, users can also instruct the Zaurus Mail software on the PC to send important messages to an optional PCMCIA pager card in the Zaurus. Software development: - PC-based development tools, available later in 1995, will enable third-party software developers, value added resellers, and vertical market resellers to develop customized applications. Sharp and a number of 3rd parties have already announced plans to introduce add-on software programs. The Zaurus is intended to serve as a platform for 3rd party software developers. Zaurus will be marketed to corporations as a productivity tool for target customers - primarily mobile professionals and in vertical application solution in fields such as medical, pharmaceutical, and insurance. ============================================================================== YO - 6X0 Electronic Organizer Descriptions Contributed by: R.J.
