Welcome!
Welcome to SmartPad™, the Connected
Notepad! Using the supplied software, and an
ordinary paper writing pad, SmartPad automati-
cally links to your Palm™PDA organizer and
stores anything that you write directly into the
memory of the Palm unit. Whether you scribble
quick notes, draw diagrams or maps, or take extensive notes at meetings,
SmartPad enables you to instantly transfer and store the handwritten information
on your Palm organizer.
SmartPad consists of an electronic notepad, integrated into an elegant portfolio
that also stores and protects your Palm organizer. The paper notepad is a standard
5"x8" pad; refills are available at any stationery store. A special pen is provided,
and it automatically transmits whatever you write through SmartPad and into
your Palm organizer. For convenience, the opposite end of the pen contains a
stylus point for use with the Palm organizer.
How SmartPad Works
SmartPad Portfolio
Located beneath SmartPad’s paper pad is a special digitizer tablet that is sensitive
to the position of the SmartPen. As you write with the SmartPen on the paper
pad, the SmartPad reads the location of the pen tip and communicates its exact
location to your Palm organizer.
SmartPad Software in your Palm Connected organizer
The SmartPad software installed on your Palm organizer automatically recog-
nizes the infrared data transmitted by SmartPad, and instantly creates a new Ink
Note file in any of the four SmartPad applications; To Do List, Memo, Date
Book, and Address. With MultiMail Pro™ software and a modem, you can e-
mail your Ink Notes directly from your Palm organizer.

SmartPad Desktop software installed on your Windows PC
When you HotSync your Palm organizer with your Windows PC, all of your
SmartPad notes are automatically copied to the PC and saved for use by your
SmartPad desktop software. This software allows you to view, print, and even e-
mail your Ink Note file images from your PC.
SmartPad Features
Once you have installed the SmartPad software, SmartPad works instantly and
automatically to transfer your handwritten notes into your Palm organizer.
SmartPad features include:
nAn easy user interface. Just touch the pen to the pad, and you’re automati-
cally storing your handwritten data!
nEach Ink Note can have up to 16 pages of handwritten data. With the Palm
organizer you can easily view the contents of each page, and make additions
asnecessary.
nYou can zoom to enlarge the view of the written notes on the Palm organizer,
and pan to move the position of the image on the screen. You can easily
zoom up to 4x magnification to view the smallest details of your handwritten
notes on the Palm organizer.
nSmartPad’s sleep mode integrates with the Palm organizer’s “auto-off”
feature. If your Palm organizer is set for “auto-off after: 2 minutes” (and
you’re using the SmartPad), the Palm organizer will go into “sleep mode” to
conserve power after two minutes. However, the infrared communication
between SmartPad and your Palm organizer will remain active. Even though
the screen is blank, the Palm organizer will instantly awaken when you touch
the SmartPen to the pad, and you can continue taking notes. If you don’t use
your SmartPad for 30 minutes, the “sleep mode” will finally turn off the
infrared communications with the SmartPad and then completely turn off
your Palm organizer.
nSmartPad will automatically name an Ink Note file based upon the applica-
tion you’re currently using. You can also associate an Ink Note file with any
record in the selected application, or change the name of the Ink Note file.
nAbility to send a written Ink Note as an e-mail message. If you have a Palm
Modem™ connected to your Palm organizer, you can use an application such
as MultiMail Pro software to transmit your written notes as an e-mail
message.
Seiko Instruments SmartPad User’s Guide page 7
nUses standard paper notepads, available in any stationery store. No special
paper supplies are required for the SmartPad.
nEasily confirm the status of the batteries that power the SmartPad.
nThe SmartPad software includes eMemo, eToDo, eAddress, and eDatebook.
These applications function the same as the standard applications on your
Palm organizer — they simply extend the function of these applications to
automatically work with SmartPad. You can attach an Ink Note to any file in
these four Palm organizer applications.
Ways to Use SmartPad
SmartPad can change the way you work with your Palm organizer, vastly expand-
ing its capabilities with the effortless association of handwritten notes, diagrams,
maps — anything that you can draw with the SmartPen. The following are some
ideas for using SmartPad with your Palm organizer:
nIf you attach an Ink Note to an event in the eDatebook application, the Ink
Note is associated with the date and time of the event — such as a meeting.
This means that you can use the SmartPad to take handwritten notes or
“meeting minutes,” and then easily find them, attached to the date and time of
the event.
nIn the applications that support Categories (eAddress, eToDo, and eMemo),
you can create Categories for the records that contain the Ink Notes you
create with SmartPad. This makes it easy to organize the data on your Palm
organizer, and makes it fast to find the Ink Notes that you want to review or
modify.
nThe Ink Notes generated by SmartPad are separate from the regular Notes that
can be attached to records in your Palm organizer. This means that you can
attach text notes using Graffiti on your Palm organizer, and also attach Ink
Notes (for handwritten notes or drawings) with the SmartPad.
nSmartPad can automatically assign default names to new records. With the
eToDo and eMemo applications, just start writing on the Notepad to create a
new record, with the date and time as the name for the record. With the
eAddress and eDatebook applications, you can start writing to create a new
Ink Note that can be attached to a record at a later time.
