Locking the Organizer
The Organizer’s LOCK function allows you to keep selected
information in your Organizer secure by locking it with a
password that you specify. Entries that you have marked as
secret cannot be accessed until the Organizer is unlocked
using the password. Individual entries can be marked as
secret, so that only someone who knows the password can
access them by unlocking the Organizer. Note that this
password is completely different from the one used for the
ASK PASSWORD feature within the SET START-UP
DISPLAY options (see p.183). Marking entries as secret
has no effect until the Organizer is locked.
Turning on the Lock
1. Press MENU twice to open the PREFERENCES
menu.
2. Select SECRET from the menu, then press ENTER .
The SECRET submenu appears.
3. Select LOCK ORGANIZER, then press ENTER .
The LOCK ORGANIZER window appears prompting you to
enter a password.

4. Enter any password up to seven characters long.
Letters, numbers, and symbols can all be used. This
text box is case-sensitive, which means that upper-
and lower-case letters are treated differently. The
password “SHARP”, for example, is different from the
passwords “Sharp” or “sharp”.
☞
Choose your password carefully. If you forget your
password, there is no way to bypass the Secret
function or enter a new password without losing all
data marked as Secret. It is strongly recommended
that you use a password that you will always be able
to remember, but which other people will be unable to
guess.
5. Press ENTER to store the password (or CANCEL to
cancel the operation).
All entries marked as secret throughout the Organizer will
then be hidden and will not be accessible until the
Organizer is unlocked by giving the correct password.
A message appears warning you not to forget the
password. If you have any doubt about whether or not you
will always be able to recall this password, write it down
and keep it in a safe place.
6. Press ENTER .
T appears on the display, indicating that any information
you mark as secret will now be hidden. The unit itself can
still be accessed until you turn on the ASK PASSWORD
