Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 Instruction Manual page 7

my Zaurus SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
Additionally, I had to get the following from Tokyo since I could not get them locally in Australia.
Thanks again to Sachiko for going shopping for me.
The iRiver USB cable works with the Zaurus. This cable is quite small and has a USB
mini A connector on one end and a USB A Female on the other. It will be a handy
addition to supplement my GoldX cable. It is currently also the cheapest USB mini A
host controller cable available that I could find.
I also found a small USB power cable, the Diatec
P-Cord (P to Go). This little gem allows me to leave the bulky
power adaptor at home. It can power the C3000/C3100 whilst
plugged into a USB port of a PC or a Sun Ray (or even my spare
USB hub). As a bonus this cable is also retractable. It is perfect
for stuffing into a small pocket. In addition, this cable also has a
little cousin which also includes a USB mini-b adaptor for
synching as well so you can use it to charge and sync at the
same time.
even outside when the sun is shining on my Z. It can also be easily washed in warm water so
cleaning is a breeze, but re-attaching it afterwards is a bit tricky. The inner side easily catches little
dust particles which are very hard to remove and they cause bubbles on the screen. However, most
importantly, it prevents scratches on the Z's screen.
Well, I already have a few spare styli, but one can never have enough spares, so I got
the Pilot Pentopia stylus. This stylish replacement stylus looks and feels much better
than Sharp's greyish plastic stylus that comes with the C3000 or the black stylus that
comes with the C3100. The Pentopia stylus comes in a cool metallic colour with black
ends and a red tip. And it is also extensible by a few centimeters to give it the length of a
pencil. The extra metal weight also makes it feel like something with substance. It also
has a pen under the black cap on the other end.
I have found a USB to VGA adaptor which can be used with the Zaurus. It is made by
Kairen and contains a SiS 315E graphics chip and there is a custom driver for it
ported to the Zaurus. With the driver and special application installed, you can use
this adaptor to connect your Zaurus to a VGA monitor or projector. However, you will
need a USB host cable (mini A) and a powered hub. You cannot plug this adaptor
straight into the Zaurus. It requires additional power from the USB hub. The USB VGA adaptor was
designed for USB high speed (480Mbps) in mind and runs very slow on the Zaurus which does not

The screen on the Zaurus attracts quite a lot of
dust. The OverLay Brilliant screen protector should protect my little Z's
touchscreen. It will hopefully ensure my Z's screen will not be damaged and also
reduces the glare when under direct sunlight, so now I can see what's on the screen
