D.5.0. Hand Held Communicator : Operation
Language
Initially the Psion Organiser will power up and display the Psion Copyright message, when the ON button is
pressed. Then a choice of languages will be offered. This applies to the operation of the Psion Organiser
functions only, MSM400 programme, although Datapaks will be available from MOBREY in different
languages.
MSM400 Programme
The main menu selection of the Psion Organiser is automatically amended to include the MOBREY option
when the Datapak is fitted. This cannot be permanently repositioned nor deleted.
Time
The only data in the Psion Organiser used by the MOBREY programme is the date held in the Organiser
memory. On making changes to an MSM400 the date will be stored in the MSM400 control unit
microprocessor, as shown by the Psion Organiser. To set this clock, select TIME, press MODE, select SET, and
use the arrows to select the correct date and time on the display. Then press EXE to start the clock, and ON/
CLEAR to return to the main menu.
Disconnecting SMART Interface
To disconnect the interface unit it is necessary to press down the catch in the top centre face of the unit to
release the lock, when the interface can be pulled vertically away. The Psion programme knows when the
interface is not present and will no longer seek to find an instrument connected – it will only allow OFFLINE
programming. Naturally, no diagnostic parameters are made available.
Note : Programme Lock-up
This will occur if the interface unit is disconnected from the Psion before it has finished all communications,
or as a function of the Psion ON button features. The LCD is frozen:
a) Reconnect the interface unit, to allow completion of the procedure.
b) If the Lock-up has occurred after pressing the ON/CLEAR button, it probably results from the Psion
Organiser “CLEAR” function which stops/freezes all programmes running at the time. The programme can be
restarted by pressing any button again (except Q).
c) If the Lock-up occurs as a result of an incomplete procedure, there is no easy release process. The LCD on
the SMART Communicator is frozen. Once the buffer store for instructions has been filled with 16 command
key instructions, a bell like sound is made when any further button is pressed. The best escape route is to
remove the battery to totally clear the memory of the Psion. Beware that this will also clear the date, diary
and alarm memories of the Psion Organiser itself. Clearing the memory occurs after approx. 30 seconds with
no battery, or immediately on pressing ON/CLEAR after the battery has been removed.
