Psion Utils (c)1995 PROTRONICS USA 404-351-1055 CompuServe 71021,1544

Flash! 	Series 3 users can now use their Psion to dial the phone.
	Series 3A users can use a modem or voice playback to dial.

Dialer is a handy utility that will save you precious time when looking
up numbers and dialing the phone. It works by searching all data files 
(unlimited) for a partial match and dials using the speaker or a modem,
without ever opening the database app. Profiles can be set up for home,
office, & travel with local, long distance, & calling card prefixes & 
suffixes. Local area codes are stripped automatically eliminating the
need to enter numbers twice for long distance vs. local calling. American
users no longer need two entries for each number in their database.

Used in combination with Tom Doblin's Macro System, you can press Help
from within any Psion App and press 2-9 for SpeedDial, F to Find or Z
to check your voice mail. Dialer is a One-Touch Psion app.

All Dialer files may be stored together on an SSD but if you store your
Data files on it, update *.DBF in ?SETUP in DIALER.ODB to A:*.DBF or B:*.DBF
If you don't use the Macro System, from the System screen, press Psion-A 
while Dialer.Opo is highlighted, set Modifier to None, and Button to Time. 
Leave Dialer running in background and press Time to switch to it. If you 
have more than one .Opo loaded, press Time to cycle between them.

Profile Notes

Dialing profiles are stored in \OPD\DIALER.ODB and include sample profiles
for home, office, and away. Default Profile is stored in ?SETUP record.
Dialer ignores the settings in the System screen and uses its own setup.

Dialer Profile Description:
Use Modem/Spkr/Voice:	Changes dialing method to Modem/Speaker/Voice/None
Local Area Code:	Local area code(s)  i.e. 404-,770-
			If your Data file uses (404)  or 404. make sure it 
			matches your entries exactly. If you have duplicates
			for local/long distance, you can now delete the local
			number. Dialer will dtrip the code automatically.
Local Calls Need AC:	If local calls require the area code without the long
			distance prefix, 1-, set this to Yes. This is common
			in cities with multiple area codes.
Local Access Prefix:	If your office requires a 9, to dial out or *70 to
			turn off Call Waiting. This can be temporarily disabled
			by pressing P from Dialer.
Long Distance Prefix:	The prefix used if dialing a non-local number
Long Distance Suffix:	Some companies require a special code after dialing
Calling Card Prefix:	Include all dialout codes as when On, this overrides all
			other prefixes.
Calling Card Suffix:	Use a , for a one second pause, or, if using 3FAX, a W to
			wait for the next tone.
Voice Mail Access:	Include all dialout codes when entering codes and passwords
			to check your Voice Mail by pressing Z.

If you make changes to a profile you must reopen it, O, to load your changes.
If you make changes to Setup, SpeedDial, or Call List, exit Dialer & restart.

                    All - Logs all calls to \OPD\PHONELOG.TXT
                    Log - Only logs calls from "To Dial" list
                    Note - Logs all calls and stamps result
                    Edit - Opens record in data file automatically
                    Both - Opens record in data file & logs all calls

Database Notes

We recommend the following format for entering records in the database.
Fields labels must have a telephone symbol, space, and description. The
descriptions used by Dialer are Home, Work, Fax, Car, and Page.
Sample entry:
  Name:  Walker, Steve
 Work:  404-555-1212,,,123   Also dials extension 123 after a 3 second pause
 Home:  770-999-9990

If you have created two Work #s in your database (by pressing Shift-Enter),
Dialer will only Dial the 1st one. The exception is if you select "List" as
the dial location. Say you have a list of movie theatres stored together as
one record in your database (just ignore field names). Type in the theatre
name, select "List" in the Where box, and press enter.

Sample entry:
   Name:  Movie Theatres
  Work:  816-4262 AMC
  Home:  248-0624 Odeon
Address:  451-4570 Drive-in
  Notes:  800-233-0338 Lenox

This is so you can group similar numbers in one record: Medical, Banking,
Utilities, Computing, BBSs, Air Travel, Ground Travel, Security, Shopping,
Hotels, Emergencies, Restaurants, Library, Mail, Movies, News, Sports, etc.

Usage Notes

Dialer defaults to the work # between the hours of 8 and 6 and to the home #
on weekends and after hours. When using the speaker, hold the Psion 1 inch
away from the phone mouthpiece. It also work by placing the Psion on a soft
mat and holding the mouthpiece 1 inch over the keyboard. Dialer can send the
following touch tone codes: 123456789*0#. ()-+ and <space> are ignored. A
comma will issue a 1 second pause. W (modem dialing only) will wait for a
second dial tone before continuing. i.e. 9,950-1022W0-404-351-1055W407#

If you press N for Next after SpeedDialing a number, the full record will be
found if it exists in the database.

European users take note. Dialer senses long distance numbers, adding the
appropriate prefix and suffix, by counting the number of numeric separators.
Europeans often use a space or a period while Americans use a dash. If a
number has more than one separator, it is considered a long distance number,
unless the area code matches local area codes specified in ?SETUP.
U.S. Example: If your local area codes are 404- and 770-
  210-555-1111 is long distance
     555-12-12 is long distance
1-404-555-1212 is long distance and will add another 1-
  404-555-1212 is local
European Example: If your local area code is 331.
  331.5555.12.12 is long distance
   331.5555.1212 is local
    33.5555.1212 is long distance
       5555.1212 is local

To dial international numbers, create a profile called International, and
set Long Distance prefix to 011- (etc). Leave your local area codes unchanged
so you can still dial local numbers while in international mode. If enough
users register, Protronics will release a European version.

Modem Notes

The Series 3, which can't create DTMF signals, can now use a modem to dial.
If you use a fax/modem after using the modem to place a call, be sure
you software issues an "ATZ" to initialize the modem. If this fails, 
try sending an "AT E1 Q0". When connecting a new modem to the Psion be
sure you have a null modem connector between the 3Link and your modem.
To adjust the speed at which the modem dials, adjust Delay time in the
System Dial settings.
