A:
My batteries only lasted for two months. Is there something wrong?
Will lose data in memory when I change the batteries?
There is probably nothing wrong with your unit. Battery life will vary from
user to user. A number of factors will affect battery life, including how much
the unit is used. The battery life is rated at 70 hours of continuous use.
Assuming an average of one hour per day of continuous use, you would get
about 2 months of battery life. Two months indicates heavier usage.
When you change the main operating batteries, the back-up battery will
protect data in memory. Be sure to follow the directions carefully when
changing the batteries.
An optional battery case is available, which will extend the life of your
operating batteries.
I have a SHARP Series Organizer. How can transfer my data
from it to this new unit?
The data format on your new unit is different to that on the 8000 Series
Organizer. You can get data from the 8000 Series (or 7000 Series) one
application at a time using one of the following methods:
l
If you have your 8000 Series data on a RAM card, do the following:

Turn on the 8900 Series.
Go to an application (Tel, Schedule, etc.).
Press and then touch PERIPHERALS1 , select IMPORT
OTHER FORMAT, then select VIA RAM CARD.
Repeat the last two steps for each application you wish to import.
l
If you own one of the Sharp Organizer Link software packages for an
8000 Series Organizer (either for the IBM and compatibles or the
Macintosh) do the following:
Hook up the cable to the 8900 Series.
Turn on the 8900 Series.
Press (MENU) and then touch , select IMPORT
