WP-2 Portable (260-3930) Setup Faxback Doc. # 5600 Word Processor Your WP-2 Portable Word Processor is versatile and easy-to-use. You can use it at home, school, or take it with you when you travel. Setup is as simple as unpacking the box, installing the batteries, turning it on, and running a simple setup program. 1. Use the point of a pencil to turn on the memory protect switch on the right side of the Word Processor. Turn off this switch only when you replace the backup battery.. When this switch is turned off, all infor- mation stored in the WP-2 is erased. 2. To open the battery compartment, slide off the compartment's cover. 3. Install four AA batteries, observing the polarity (+ and -) symbols marked inside the compartment. For longer battery life and optimum performance, we recommend alkaline or nickel-cadmium batteries. NOTE: You can connect the WP-2 to a standard AC outlet by using an AC adapter rated at 6V DC, 400 mA. 4. Replace the battery compartment cover. 5. If you would like the WP-2 to sit at an angle, lower the two legs on the bottom of the unit. 6. Press the POWER button. 7. Adjust the CONTRAST dial until the following message is clearly displayed: New File Name: 8. A small blinking block called a cursor appears to the right of this message. Type a temporary filename with a maximum of eight characters. (The cursor moves to the right as you type.) Then press [ENTER]. The Status display appears, showing the format line with margins and tab settings, the current cursor position (line and column), the amount of available memory, and the document name. 9. Press any key and the Status display disappears. RUNNING SETUP The first time you start up the WP-2, you need to urn the built-in Setup program before you begin word processing. The System selection in the Setup program tells the WP-2 what kind of batteries you are using, whether you want the automatic spell checker turned on or off, and how much time to wait before automatic power off. Use Setup any time you want to change the current settings. 1. With the WP-2 turned on, press the key sequence [F2]-[-] to start Setup. The Setup menu appears. 2. Select the System option. See the "Tasks and Topics" section for information on the Telcom and Print options. 3. The cursor is now in the answer area of the first prompt, Auto power off (min). When the WP-2 is not in use for a selected period of time, it turns off automatically. The preset (default) number of minutes the WP-2 waits before turning itself off is 10. To change this time, simply type a number representing minutes between 0 and 255. To turn off the automatic power off feature, enter the number 0. Press [ENTER] only if you change the default setting. 4. Use [down arrow] to move the cursor to the Auto spell check answer area. 5. If you want the WP-2 to buzz each time you type a word it does not recognize, use the [left arrow] to highlight YES. Otherwise highlight NO. 6. Press [down arrow] to move the cursor the Battery type answer area. 7. Use the arrow keys to highlight either Alkaline or Ni-Cd. Select Alkaline if you are using anything other than nickel-cadmium batteries. 8. When all the answers are the way you want them, press [ENTER]. The screen clears, and you are now ready to begin word processing! USING THE KEYBOARD If you have ever used a typewriter, the keyboard on your Wordprocessor is already familiar to you. In addition to standard typewriter keys, however, you will find cursor keys and function keys. These special keys make it easy for the WP-2 to perform complicated tasks with only a little effort on your part. (smm 08/04/93)
