Customizing the MC 218 200
Customizing the MC 218
You can personalize and customize your MC 218 by adjusting settings, adding
ID and password, and loading new software. Most customizations are done
using the Control panel.
It is a good idea to type contact information as ‘owner information’, so that if
you lose your MC 218, it can be returned when found.
To add owner information:
1. In Desktop, tap Control panel on the toolbar.
2. Tap the Password icon in the Control panel twice.
3. Tap Owner info and enter your details. The labels provided are only
suggestions. You can change them if you want to.
4. Tap Done to close the dialog.
You can then set whether you want the owner information screen to be
displayed At switch on, Once per day or Never. You can still display the
owner information at any time by selecting Owner on the Information
menu in Desktop.
You might want to set a system password to stop anyone from looking at the
files on the disk drive of the MC 218.
To set a system password:
1. In Desktop, tap Control panel on the toolbar.
2. Tap the Password icon twice.
3. Select At switch on in the Display owner information box.
4. Tick Ask for password.
5. Type the password twice for confirmation and then press OK.
Your password is now set. You are asked for it whenever you turn on the
MC 218 or try to change your password information.
Tip! The system password does not protect files stored on Memory disks or
files copied to other machines.
Note! If you have forgotten the system password, you have to reset the
machine. All the files stored on the disk drive will then be lost.
You can prevent other people from opening your Word and Sheet files by
setting a password for each file. For example, you may have a Sheet database
containing your personal finance details.
