If it is not installed andused propertythat is, in strict accordance with Apple'sinstaictionsit may cause interference with radio andtelevision reception.This equipnrrent has been tested and found to comply withthe limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with thespecifications in Parti 5 of FCC rules. These specifications aredesigned to provide reasonable protection against suchinterference in a residential installation. However, there is noguarantee that interference will not occur in a particularinsta l lat ion.You can determine whether your computer system is causinginterference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it wasprobably caused by the computer or one of the peripheraldevices.If your computer system does cause interference to radio ortelevision reception, try to correct the interference by usingone or more of the following measures:

Turn the television or radio antenna until the interferencestops. Move the computer to one side or the other of thetelevision or radio.

Move the computer ferther away fiiom the television orradio.

Plug the computer into an outlet that is on a differentcircuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certainthe computer and the television or radio are on circuitscontrolled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

If necessary, consult your authorized Apple dealer or anexperienced radio/television technician for additionalsuggestions. You may find helpful the following booklet,prepared by the Federal Communications Commission:Interference Handbook (stock number 004-000-00345-4).This booklet is available finom the Ui.

But first go through the "test drive" in the next section. Evenif you skip any of the test drive, make sure you go through allof the steps in "Important Settings."Test drive/basic featuresFollow the instructions in the next few sections for a quickoven/iew of what Newton can do.

Turning Newton on and offI. To turn Newtonon. slide switchdown and let itspring ba2- To turn Newtonoff, slide the switchin the same way.As long as thebatteries are fresh,Newton storesyour informationeven when thepower is off.

For example, you may want to mark this boxwhile you let someone else write on your Newton.

IMPROVING TEXT RECOGNITIONTo help improve the speed and accuracy of Newton's textrecognition, try any of the following: Teach Newton how you draw your letters ( Letter Style

Preferences, earlier in this chapter). Tell Newton how fest it should interpret your writing andwhether you connect your letters as you write( Handwnting Style Plieferences, eariier in this chapter).

2 2


131/236

m

Allow Newton to analyze your handwriting as you write( Handwriting Style Preferences, eariier in this chapter).

Follow the hints for better handwriting ( Hints for BetterHandwriting, later in this chapter). Practice your handwriting ( Practicing Writing, later in thischapter). Set your preferences as follows ( Interpreter Preferences.eariier in this chapter): Turn on Words and turn off Non-dictionary Words. Turn off as nrjany of the following aspossible: Numbers, Phone Numbers, Dates, and Time OfDay. Review your word list which Newton uses to recognizewonds. Removing words you don't useespecially shortonesspeeds up recognition; to save you the effort ofcorrecting words while you're talcing notes, add them tothe word list now. (Revievwng Your Vocabulary List laterin this chapter.)


132/236

H i n t s r d r b e t t e r h a n d w r i t i n g Write capital letters and tall letters (such as t and I) so theyuse the whole height of the line. Other letters should be

half as high. Put a full character s width of ace between words Also

avoid extra width which can cause Newton to insert a tab. Write in straight lines When dotting your i s, keep the dot close to the i. Makesure it doesn t look like an accent mark When you cross t s, make sure you don t cross any other

tall letters. Make the cross horizontal, not slanted. Don t scrunch words at the edge of the screen. Make parentheses bigger than tall letters. Don t go back to a letter you ve already written to

improve it Don t pause for long in the middle of writing a word. To put a tab between columns, v^it for the text to be

recognized, pause for another second, then skip somespace and continue writing.

Write from left-to-right Use thicker ink for best recognitioa You can choose inkthickness by going to the Extras drawer and tapping Styles.

Keep punctuation close to the word If it turns into an I,you re leaving too much space between the word and thepunctuation.


133/236

Write colons and sennicolons from top to bottom andmake them as tall as capital letters.

Write exclamation points the same size as tall letters.R ev iew ing y ou r us t o f w o rdsEvery time you connect a misinterpreted word, Newton seeswhether the correct word is in its list of words. If not it asks ifyou want to add the word to the listyour own list ofwordsso rt can recognize it later.You may want to remove words from the list because thelonger the list gets and the more short words it contains, theslower the interpreter works; or you may want to add wordsto the list to ensure Newton can recognize thenn
