Pen gestures
You can insert a space or a carriage return, or delete a character by tapping the corresponding
button on the Character Recognizer input panel. The same actions can also be performed using
gestures. Gestures help you keep your focus on the input area and maintain the natural flow of
your handwriting.
Form gestures as shown by the figures below. The arrow at the end of the stroke indicates the
direction the stroke should be drawn, and is not actually written.

Personalizing Character Recognizer
Options
You can improve the recognition of your writing by teaching Character Recognizer your
handwriting style. Character Recognizer also gives you the opportunity to define your own
characters as shortcuts for lengthy text you write frequently.
These features and other ways to customize Character Recognizer to suit your handwriting and
needs, can be found by tapping the Options button on the Character Recognizer input panel.

Personalize
Character Recognizer allows you to define personal characters you want to use as shortcuts. You
might want to add a star to represent your e-mail address or a heart to represent the name of a
close friend. Add your character by tapping the Personalize tab in Recognizer Options.
You can also use this feature to compensate for frequently misinterpreted characters. Let us
presume that the Character Recognizer mistakes your ‘B’ for a ‘D’. Enter Personalize and write
the letter ‘B’ the way you always write it in the box representing the input area. Then write ‘B’ in
the interpretation field. In this way you can avoid a misinterpretation of your handwritten
characters.
You can enable or disable your personal characters using Settings.
You can add up to 15 personal characters.
Write your character in the box representing the input
area and write the interpretaiton in the text box next
to it.
The interpretation can contain up to 35 characters.
Your character can contain up to 5 strokes.

Settings
The Recognizer Options Settings tab allows you to customize Character Recognizer features. All
the features can be enabled or disabled to suit you and your way of writing.
Version
The Recognizer Options Version tab shows version of the Character Recognizer application on
your CASSIOPEIA.
Troubleshooting
Since every style of handwriting is unique, you might experience problems with your way of
writing.
If the recognition problem is limited to a few characters, you should begin by looking at the
Decuma Alphabet Outlines. Compare the way these characters are written with your own
handwriting to determine the problem. Once you determine the cause, you can either adapt your
own handwriting to suit Character Recognizer or teach Character Recognizer to recognize your
characters. See Personalize for further information.
You may experience problems when writing characters in some input fields, such as fields for
numbers, date or time, where you are allowed to input only limited kinds of characters. You will
avoid this problem by changing the input panel to Keyboard. To select Keyboard, tap the Input
panel switch and select Keyboard from the menu.

Decuma Alphabet  Outlines
These outlines of written characters serve as a guide of how to form characters for Character
Recognizer to recognize. The circles and numbers show where strokes begin and in what order
they should be written.
In addition to the characters shown here, a wide variety of handwritten characters are included in
the alphabet library.

Appendix B: Troubleshooting
Resetting the CASSIOPEIA
If your CASSIOPEIA responds slowly, stops responding as expected, or “freezes,” try resetting it.
A reset causes the CASSIOPEIA to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Note that unsaved
data in open windows may be lost when you reset.
To reset the CASSIOPEIA
Use the stylus to hold down the Reset button for about two seconds.
See the Hardware Manual for details.
Batteries lose power
An icon in the system tray shows your current battery capacity. Be sure to recharge the battery as
soon as possible after it goes low.
Under normal conditions, you can get many hours of use from a full charge. Here are a few tips to
help you get the most from the battery.
Use external power whenever possible
Use the AC adapter to plug your CASSIOPEIA into external power whenever possible, especially
when:
•Establishing a remote connection (some modems use a lot of power).
•Connecting to a computer.
Shorten auto power off time
While on battery power, your CASSIOPEIA automatically turns off if you do not operate its
buttons or use the stylus for a specified period. You can maximize battery life by keeping this auto
power off trigger time short. See “Power” on page 146 for information about setting the auto
power off trigger time.
Turn off sounds you do not need
The CASSIOPEIA produces sounds in response to a number of events, such as warnings,
appointments, screen taps, and hardware button presses. To optimize battery life, turn off any
sounds you do not need. See “Volume & Sounds” on page 145 for information about turning off
sounds.
If you forget your password
It is impossible to access any of the data stored in CASSIOPEIA memory without inputting the
proper password. If you forget your password, you will have to use the procedure under
“Restoring Factory Defaults” in the Hardware Manual to return the CASSIOPEIA to its initial
factory default settings. Note, however, that this also deletes all data stored in CASSIOPEIA
memory and all programs you have installed, and also initializes all CASSIOPEIA settings.

If you run out of CASSIOPEIA memory
Memory on your CASSIOPEIA is shared between storage memory and program memory. Storage
memory is used to store the information you create and programs you install. Program memory is
used to run programs on your CASSIOPEIA. The CASSIOPEIA automatically manages the
allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when
memory is low, the CASSIOPEIA may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. If you
receive a message stating that storage or program memory is unavailable, try the following
solutions.
Storage memory
•Move data to a storage card.
•Insert a storage card into the CASSIOPEIA, start up File Manager (page 135), and move
files you do not need on a regular basis from the main memory file (My
Device\NandDisk\file) to the storage card.
•Move received mail messages you normally do not need from the Inbox folder to the storage
card. To move files, use Mail to create a new folder on the storage card and then move the
messages to that folder. See “To move mail messages from one folder to another” on page 88
for more information.
•Delete unnecessary files. Use File Manager (page 135) to delete files you no longer need from
main memory.
•Delete Web pages you saved from the Internet that you no longer need. See “To delete Web
pages” on page 103 for more information.
•Delete installed programs that you no longer need. See “To uninstall a program” on page 11 for
more information.
Program memory
•Stop programs you are not currently using. Display the Top Menu and then double-tap
Settings. On the Settings menu, double tap Memory and then tap the Task Manager tab. This
displays a list of programs that are currently running. Tap the programs you want to quit and
then tap Stop. If you want to quit all programs that are currently running, tap Stop All.
•Clear storage memory as described in the preceding section. This will free some storage
memory so that it can be allocated to program memory.
•Reset the CASSIOPEIA using the procedure under “To reset your CASSIOPEIA” in the
Hardware Manual.
Screen freezes or responds slowly
Reset your CASSIOPEIA. See “To reset your CASSIOPEIA” in the Hardware Manual.
