About power source

• You can use two AA (LR6) alkaline batteries or the optional Ni-MH Rechargeable
Battery Pack to power your unit, or the AC adaptor included in the optional
Docking Station Kit. (HC-4000/HC-4100)
• If the main batteries are not installed, or are depleted, the unit will not function
even when connected to an AC power source.
• Caution: When the main batteries are depleted, replace them promptly with new
batteries. (or recharge them : HC-4500) If the depleted main batteries are not
replaced, (or recharged : HC-4500), the backup battery will be drained more
quickly than normal. (See Battery life in “Hardware specifications”)
• The unit will turn off if you ignore the low battery warning and continure the
work. It will also turn off if you slide the battery replacement switch away from
the NORMAL OPERATION position while the unit is operating. If this happens,
the data being edited and other information may be lost, and the alarm may not
function correctly.
• The AC adaptor may hum when it is used. This is normal. (HC-4500)
• After charging or use of the battery, its back may become warm. This is normal,
and does not indicate any problem. (HC-4500)
27

Important points to remember when installing new batteries:
• Be sure not to use any of the following as main batteries: manganese batteries
or nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries. These are easily mistaken for alkaline
batteries.
• Do not remove the main batteries and the backup battery at the same time (this
will result in the loss of all stored data).
• Backup important data before replacing batteries.
• Replace both main batteries at the same time with new batteries of the same
type.
• When the main battery low warning message and the backup battery low
warning message appear at the same time, replace the backup battery first.
After the backup battery replacement, turn on your unit and make sure the
backup battery low message is gone, then you can proceed to replace the main
batteries.
Caution:
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used
batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Backup battery: Replace battery with Panasonic type CR2032 only. Use of
another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion. See operation manual for
safety instructions.
• Batteries may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge except the Ni-MH
Rechargeable Battery Pack, disassemble or dispose of in fire.
• Leaving depleted batteries in the unit may cause battery leakage and damage
from corrosion.
• The socket outlet must be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.
(HC-4500)
• When the AC adaptor is not in use, keep it disconnected from a AC outlet. (HC-

SOFTWARE (BUNDLED)
Your unit comes installed with the following additional software applications from
SHARP to extend your computing capability:
• Image Editor (for editing images)

• Voice Recorder (for recording and playback of sound)
• ZR series IR Communication (for exchanging data with ZR series units from
SHARP)
The following sections describe their functions and how to use them.
Image Editor
Image Editor enables you to edit image files. With Image Editor, you can edit
image files, add hand-written notes, convert file formats, run a mini slide show,
and many more. Sizes of files you can open and edit can be up to 640 × 480 dots
(VGA).
To start Image Editor, double-tap the Image Editor icon on the desktop, or tap the
Start button and select Programs, SHARP Applications, and then Image Editor.

Editing images
1. Tap New on the File menu to create a new file, or tap Open to select an
existing file and tap the Edit icon ( ) to switch to edit mode.
2. Use the image editing tools to edit the image.
3. Tap to save the image.
Note:
• You can open JPEG, BMP, 2BP and GIF files, but you can only save to the
JPEG, BMP or 2BP file formats. If you edit a GIF file, you must save it to the
JPEG or BMP file format.
• The working display area is 640 x 170 dots. If the file is larger than this size, use
the scroll bars to see and edit other parts of the image.
• You may not be able to open a file if there is not enough program memory.
Increase the program memory; VGA data requires about 1.7 MB of memory.
• About JPEG format:
As compared to BMP format, JPEG format is very small. This is possible
because JPEG format discards some details of the original image. This also
means a JPEG file may not look exactly like the original image. If you would like
to save an image with full detail, use BMP format.
• About Reduce in Color and Reduce in Size:
When you use the Reduce in Size function of Image Editor, you will not be able
to use the Reduce in Color function until the image is saved.
Similarly, when you use the Reduce in Color function of Image Editor, you will
not be able to use the Reduce in Size function until the image is saved.

infrared communication. The following tables indicate the type of data you can
exchange.
Your unit ZR Series unit How much data

Contacts Contact1 One or more contacts
Explorer PC Files One file
Your unit IrTran-P device How much data

Image Editor (depends on the device) One JPEG file
Note:
IrTran-P is a standard for transferring image files via IR. By using this function,
you can exchange image files with various devices that support the IrTran-P
standard.
Sending data from your unit

The following uses Contacts as an example.
1. Align your unit and the receiving unit so that their infrared ports are facing
each other.
2. On your unit, highlight the desired data.
3. Set the receiving unit to the receiving mode. In the case of SHARP ZR Series
unit, press the GET key.
47

4. On your unit, tap Send from the File menu, then select ZR Series.

48

Notes on field mapping when sending data to a ZR Series unit
PC files are sent as they are without any conversion. For Contacts data, the
following rules apply:
• Contacts data on the unit is converted to Contact1 data on the ZR Series unit.
• Restrictions on data sizes differ between the two units. On your unit, there is a
field size limit. On the ZR Series unit, the record size must be less than 2048
bytes but there is no limit on the field size. When data is received on the ZR
Series unit, data exceeding the 2048 byte limit is truncated.
• Since the name information on your unit is stored in several fields, they are
mapped into one single field on the ZR Series unit as follows:
Your unit ZR Series unit

Mr/Ms/Dr Mr/Ms/Dr/[SP]First[SP]Middle[SP]Last[SP]Suffix
Suffix
First
Middle
Last
• Your unit uses more fields in storing address information than the ZR Series
unit. Therefore the fields are mapped as follows:
Your unit ZR Series unit

Street Street[CR]
City City,[SP]State[SP]ZIP[CR]
Country
State
ZIP
Country
• The Name field on the ZR Series unit is always required. If this field is empty,
then the ZR Series unit will store it as Untitled.
49

Receiving data to your unit
The following uses contacts as an example.
1. Align your unit and the sending unit so that their infrared ports are facing each
other.
2. On the sending unit, highlight the desired data.
3. On your unit, tap Receive from the File menu, then select ZR Series.
4. Set the sending unit to the sending mode. In case of SHARP ZR Series unit,
press SEND key, then start receiving the data.
50

Notes on field mapping when receiving data from ZR Series unit
PC files are received as they are without any conversion. For Contacts data, the
following rules apply:
• Contact1 data on the ZR Series unit is converted to Contacts data on the

handheld PC.
• Restrictions on data sizes differ between the two units. On the handheld PC,
there are limits on the field sizes as follows:
- Birthday and Anniversary are special fields for date input
- All other fields can be up to 1,023 bytes.
On the ZR Series unit, the record size must be less than 2048 bytes but there is
no limit on the field size. When data is received on the unit, data exceeding the
field size limits is truncated.
• In the Unit to Unit dialog box on the ZR Series unit, turning on With Link
Information will not send the linked data to the handheld PC.
• Since the name information on the handheld PC is stored in several fields, the
name field on the ZR Series unit is split as follows:
ZR Series unit Your unit

Last Name, [SP]First Name Last Name
First Name
First Name [SP]Last Name Last Name

First Name
51

• The handheld PC uses more fields for storing address information than the ZR
Series unit. Therefore the fields are mapped as follows:
ZR Series unit Your unit

Street[CR] Street
City,[SP]State[LAST SP]ZIP[CR]
Country City
State
ZIP
Country
52

COMMON QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q: Tell me more about the batteries. (HC-4000/HC-4100)

A: You must install both the two main batteries (alkaline) as well as the lithium
backup battery. The main batteries drive the unit while the backup battery
serves as the backup in case the main batteries become depleted. You can
also use the AC adaptor included in the optional Docking Station Kit for AC
power (which will not work if the main batteries are depleted).
Q: How long will the batteries last?

A: Battery life varies from user to user. A number of factors will affect the
battery life, including how much the unit is used. The battery life is rated at
24 hours of continuous display of the HC-4000/HC-4100. (or 6 hours for the
HC-4500 with a fully charged battery pack.)
You can find out the battery level by using Power in the Control Panel. Also,
if the icon appears on the task bar, you can find out the battery level by
double-tapping the icon.
Q: How can I use the internal fax/modem to fax from my unit?

A: You can fax from virtually any standard analog phone line. How do you find
out if a line is analog or otherwise? The basic rule to follow is that if you
can use a standard fax machine on the phone line, then it is analog and can
be used with the unit.
Use the supplied modular phone cable to connect your unit to the phone
line. Before sending faxes, you need to install fax software.
Q: Can I use the unit for Internet access?

A: You can connect to an Internet service provider and browse the World Wide
Web or send/receive e-mail.
You need to set up a dial-up connection to your Internet service provider.
Please refer to the supplied Microsoft Handheld PC Companion for detailed
information on how to set up Remote Networking.
53

Q: How can I exchange data with other handheld PCs?
A: You can use the built-in infrared port to transfer files with other handheld
PCs. Make sure both handheld PCs are turned on. Align the two handheld
PCs so that their infrared ports are facing each other. From the sending
unit, select a file to transfer in Explorer. Then use the Windows CE
command to send the file.
Q: Can I connect the unit to my desktop PC?

A: Yes, you can connect the unit to your desktop PC to backup data,
synchronize activities, transfer files etc. Make sure you have installed
Windows CE Services on your desktop PC. Then use the supplied serial
cable to connect the serial port on your unit with the serial port on the
desktop PC specified during the Windows CE Services installation.
Please refer to the Microsoft H/PC Companion for detailed information.
Q: I currently own a SHARP ZR Series unit. Can I transfer

data between the handheld PC and my ZR Series unit?
A: You can send data between your unit and a ZR Series unit. Contacts and
files are converted to Contact 1 and PC Files respectively on the ZR Series
unit, and vice versa. Because the data structures are different, the fields are
mapped for smooth transfer. See the “Data exchange with other devices via
IR” section for more information.
Q: What does PCMCIA mean? Can I use any PCMCIA card?

A: PCMCIA is an industry standard card format. The acronym PCMCIA stands
for Personal Computer Memory Card Industry Association and these cards
are now being referred to as “PC Cards”. Many popular PC Cards available
on the market are compatible with your unit. Check with your SHARP
dealer for more information.
Warning:
Use only recommended PC Cards. Attempting to use cards that are not
recommended may result in damage to the unit and/or data loss.
54

Q: How do I backup my information?
A: It is important to always have a back-up of your electronic information.
Here are some suggestions:
• You can connect the unit to your desktop PC and backup your data to the
PC using the Windows CE Services.
• You can copy your files to a PCMCIA SRAM Memory Card or a PCMCIA
Flash Memory Card. Flash Memory Cards (space permitting) require no
battery backup system.
Q: The unit does not seem to work. I changed the batteries

but still nothing happens. What should I do?
A: Check that the battery replacement switch on the back of the unit is in the
NORMAL OPERATION position, otherwise the unit will not turn on. Make
sure the batteries are fresh (HC-4000/4100) or the installed battery pack is
fully charged (HC-4500).
Also, try to reset the unit by pressing the RESET button with the stylus. As
a last resort, remove the backup battery and main batteries for 30 seconds.
Then put the main batteries and backup battery back in.

In U.S.A.:
The equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the panel is a label
that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request,
provide this information to our local telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to
your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone
number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN's of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices that you may connect to your line, you may want to contact your local
telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone
company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.
Should your telephone equipment cause harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they
will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isn't practical, you will be notified
as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your
equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to
maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
Repairs to this equipment should be performed by Sharp Electronics Corporation
or an authorized representative of Sharp. Should you experience trouble with the
equipment, or for information on obtaining service or repairs, please contact:
Sharp Electronics Corporation

P.O. Box 650
Mahwah, NJ 07430
Telephone 1-800-732-8221
The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the
network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the
equipment is not malfunctioning.

Responsible Party:
SHARP ELECTRONICS CORPORATION
Sharp Plaza, Mahwah, New Jersey 07430
TEL: 1-800-BE-SHARP
WARNING - FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or
modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could
void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Note: A shielded interface cable is required to ensure compliance with FCC
regulations for Class B certification.
ABOUT THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT OF 1991

"The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any
person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a
telephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at
the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission
the following information:
(1) the date and time of transmission
(2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the
message; and
(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or individual.
In order to program this information into your facsimile machine, please refer to
the appropriate instructions in the operation manual."
69

In Canada:
"NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This

certification means that the equipment meets telecommunications network
protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate
Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does
not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be

connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative

designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alternations made by the user to this
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections
of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in
rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contact the appropriate electric inspection, or electrician, as appropriate."
"NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal

device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist
of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the
Ringer Equivalence Number of all the devices does not exceed 5."
The Ringer Equivalence Number: 0.1

Au Canada:
"AVIS: L'étiquette d'Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette

étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme aux normes de protection,
d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le
prescrivent les documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au
matériel terminal. Le Ministère n'assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera
à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.
Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le

raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le
matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de
raccordement. L'abonné ne doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la conformité
aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n'empêche pas la dégradation du service dans
certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un

représentant désigné par le fournisseur. L'entreprise de télécommunications peut
demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de
modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de mise à la
terre de la source d'énerigie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des
canalisations d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette
précaution est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-
même; il doit avoir recours à un service d'inspection des installations électriques,
ou à un électricien, selon le cas."
"AVIS : L'indice d'équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à chaque dispositif

terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à
une interface. La terminaison d'une interface téléphonique peut consister en une
combinaison de quelques dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d'indices
d'équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n'excède pas 5."
L'indice d'équivalence de la sonnerie : 0.1
