Introduction
✓About Screen Illustrations
Some screen illustrations in this User’s Manual may
vary slightly from what you see on screen. These
variations do not mean that the Organiz-It or your
Digital Book System is malfunctioning.
Your Organiz-It™is a powerful and portable personal
organizer that works in your Digital Book System®.
This unique organizer has nine main functions, or
topics: Business Phone, Schedule, World Time,
Clock, Calendar, Calculator, Personal Phone, To Do,
and Expenses.
The Organiz-It can also communicate with personal
computers via the serial port on certain Digital Book
System models. This feature lets you copy informa-
tion to and from personal computers for backup or
editing.
Your information is also protected by a built-in bat-
tery, which saves your information when the Organiz-
It is not installed in the Digital Book System. A
user-designated password provides additional safety.
The Organiz-It also features powerful Schedule and
Phone Book searching, multiple-day Schedule en-
tries, Schedule notes, and more World Time loca-
tions.
