Psion Utils (c)1995 PROTRONICS USA 404-351-1055 CompuServe 71021,1544 Powerup started as a simple routine that plays a .WVE file each time you turn on your Psion. The default sound is the tricorder from the original Star Trek. Some rather nifty features have been added ... Powerup also records a quick message, bypassing security, if you hold down the key when powering up. The Psion will beep and record a 5 second message to REC01.WVE, REC02, REC03, etc. You can press Tab to end the recording early. The next time you turn on the Psion, your reminder will be played. Holding down Ctrl- when powering up will go to the Powerup screen after you enter your password. Here you can record, play, & erase recordings quickly by pressing 1, 2, 3, etc. This is perfect for quick messages in the car, in the dark, in bed, or when you are pressed for time. FLASH! - With a slight mod, you can now make recordings and turn off alarms with your Psion closed or still in its case. Simply cut .5 cm off the top of a standard paper clip and tape it just above your screen (when your Psion closes, it should be above the spacebar). Load Powerup and close case (with Psion still on). Give the case a slight squeeze (with thumb below speaker & fingers in bottom ridge on case). Your Psion should begin recording. You can also test this in Word by inserting spaces. Each time you squeeze your Psion while the alarm is sounding gives you an extra 5 minutes of snooze time. If you have trouble getting this to work, use thicker tape or, if you prefer, for an extra $5 (+ registration), we will send you a self-adhesive rubber strip that looks good above your screen. Hold down the System button with the Psion off and the Psion will turn on in Stealth mode (silently). Hold it down again with the Psion off and Sound will be restored. You can change sound settings manually by pressing Psion- from the System screen. The quick record will still work in Stealth mode, but you will not hear any beeps. To use a different startup sound, change Name$ in POWERUP.OPL or overwrite TRICORD.WVE with your favorite sound effect. Press S to adjust the recording length. If you still want alarms but wish to disable the Tricorder sound, turn the Sound back on from the System screen (Psion-S). Powerup comes with a companion called HOURLY which beeps on the hour (even if it's off, except from 1am to 7am). When first run, AutoOff is set to 15 seconds in case you aren't running Powerup, which will turn it off for you. If you have registered our Dialer product, HOURLY will speak the time on the hour instead of beeping. See the bottom of this document for more info. Directions: 1) Copy the .WVE file to a \WVE\ directory. Copy all .OPO files to \OPO\ 2) Run POWERUP.OPO & HOURLY.OPO (they will move to background after beeping) 3) You have permission to modify POWERUP.OPL for personal use if you promise to e-mail enhancements to ccocssw@acme.gatech.edu 4) To turn either OPO off, choose Exit application from the System menu or press Psion- from within the program 5) For more Psion and organiser software, call Protronics USA at 404-351-1055 6) If you use the program, send $20 and your e-mail id and we will send you all of our other Psion utilities. 499 Northside Circle #420 Atlanta GA 30309 USA Powerup & Hourly will NOT drain your batteries and do NOT slow down your processor while running in background; playing long WAV files will.
