///TRIsoft OHG SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart Welcome Thank You for buying the SHARP SL-C750 / SL-C760 / SL-C860. This device is not sold officially out of Japan. It is a Japanese device with English user interface and English keyboard. If You are mainly interested in a calendar, addressbook, etc., You are perhaps better off with a simple organizer.
The essential difference between the C750 and the C760/860 is the bigger battery and the increased amount of Flash memory (64 MB) in the model SL-C760/860. Since all models, apart from the colour of their cover (SL-C750: black, SL-C760: white, SL-C860: “champagne silver”), are mostly identical, the differences will be explained at the appropriate places in this manual.
Cover for I/O-Port (left side) Startup Insert the battery (SL-C750) On the bottom of the Zaurus (also see page ) is the switch for the interlock of the battery compartment. Unlock the compartment by sliding the switch to the right and take off the cover of the compartment.
SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart ///TRIsoft OHG Insert the battery (SL-C760 / SL-C860) Unlock the lower cover by sliding the the switch for the interlock of the battery compartment (1) to the right. Detach the cover in direction (2). Insert the battery as shown in the picture.
///TRIsoft OHG SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart Open and Turn Over Display The display can be opened and turned nearly horizontal to the keyboard. There it snaps into the maximal possible position. When opened, the display also turned clock-wise and turned over back onto the keyboard:...
Slot for SD cards Hookup for power supply (5V) Attention : Only the original power supply from SHARP, model EA-70S, is approved by us. The usage of third-party power supplies can possibly destroy the charging electronics of the Zaurus. "Cheap" power supplies often provide 6V instead of the printed 5V.
SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart ///TRIsoft OHG One-Handed Use The controls at the left side offer a fast and convenient navigation, if the display is turned over, onto the keyboard. Options in the user interface can be chosen by the scroll wheel and they can be confirmed or cancelled with the compensator.
///TRIsoft OHG SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart Umlauts / Euro You can access the German umlauts and the Euro-currency symbol via the onscreen-keyboard, handwriting and directly over the keyboard (thanks to the KeyHelper applet). A special “thank you” goes to “biggel” of the Z-Portal (www.z-portal.info), who wrote the needed mappings in the KeyHelper-XML-file.
SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart ///TRIsoft OHG Software for SL-5500(G) Most applications offered for SL-5500(G) can be run on SL-C750/SL-C760/SL-C860 without problems. The SL-C series recognises these, switches the display to portrait and doubles the output pixels. The application will then be shown optimally, because the SL-C series uses 4 times the resolution of the old device (640x480 instead of 320x240).
///TRIsoft OHG SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart with Microsoft Outlook and the "Zaurus File Transfer". Files can be exchanged between Zaurus and PC conveniently with that feature. Note: The site “community.zaurus.com” is actually (March 2004) not available. You may use as alternative download “pcsoft.zip” from www.trisoft.de/download.
SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart ///TRIsoft OHG Annotations about Software Applications MoviePlayer The movie player is only designed to play .asf-files, encoded with MPEG4 Video V1. For smooth playback of "regular" .mpeg- and .avi-files, we recommend tkcVideo from TheKompany. In our opinion, it is a rewarding purchase, although it is payware (19.95 US$).
///TRIsoft OHG SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart Localisation after reset The Zaurus will start in Japanese after a hard-reset. The last status would be restored in a flash, if there were a backup on a memory card. The data would be lost, if there were no backup. But a "Localisation-Backup" can be downloaded from our website http://www.trisoft.de and copied onto a memory card.
"Y" (left). First start A nice, red logo from SHARP appears and the Zaurus is reset. After a minute, the well-known "CG Silicon / Zaurus" screen is visible, which means that there is another exciting minute to wait.
///TRIsoft OHG SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart Confirm with "OK" (upper right). Skip the next dialog with "OK", too. Now the QTopia desktop should be visible, advance directly to restore: Run restore Insert a CompactFlash or SD card which contains the desired backup into the Zaurus.

SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart ///TRIsoft OHG The upper selection handles "Backup", the lower "Restore". Therefore, set the blue sphere in front of the second line: The frame below selects the source of the backup (CompactFlash or SD). Push the middle button at the bottom, when the desired backup can be seen in the selection to the right.
During the localisation of SL-C750/760/860, the kanji applet was deleted. The two forementioned keys have the function "Ctrl" and "Alt" in the factory defaults (also see keyboard functions, page 12).
Network-Wizard The “Wizard”-button for automated network installation displays only boxes. This wizard is not useful outside japan, because the wizard installas japanese services like “Sharp Space Town”. To install a network service, please press the “New”-button which opens the neccessary dialogs.
///TRIsoft OHG SL-C750/760/860 Quickstart Diag / service menu Like all Zauri, the SL-C series has a diagnostic mode, too. Normally, that mode is not necessary, but for the sake of completeness, the diagnose functions are explained here. Attention : It is possible to delete the Flash ROM of the Zaurus completely in the service menu (NAND FLASH FULL ERASE).
NAND backup in condititon upon delivery for download on our server. A CompactFlash card with at least 70 MB free space (SL-C750) or 134 MB for the SL-C760/860 is needed to create a backup. The backup is that huge, because a complete image, without any compression, including administrative information, will be built.
The backup will start, if there is a CompactFlash card with enough free space in the slot. A file with the name "systc750.dbk" for the SL-C750 or “systc760.dbk” / “systc860dbk” for SL-C760 / SL-C860 will be created. Restore with service menu: The restore function, named "NAND Flash Restore", is to be found on the third page of...
