an
entry,
just

button in

entry
list.

information
in
the
entry
will

along
with

the
To
Do List
ln
addition
to the
Calendar,
Simon has
a To
Do
feature.
Use the
calendar
to keep
track
of
your
daily
commitments.
Use
the To
Do feature
to keep
track
of the
other things
you
need

do
and their
due
dates.
After
you
view
your
daily
appointments,
you
can
go
directly
to
your
To
Do list
by touching
the
To Do
button.
For
more information,
see
,To
Do"
on
page

Note:
To help
you
manage
Simon's
system
memory,
the
Calendar
feature
automatically
erases
calendar
entries
that
are
more
than

Fax
With
the Fax
feature,
you
can receive,
create,
view
and
send faxes.
For
example,
you
can write
on
(annotate)
a
received
fax,
then
send it
somewhere
else.
lf
you
need
a
paper
copy,
just
send it
to a
nearby
fax
machine.
Managing
Faxes
Using check
boxes,
you
can
store
your
faxes
either
on
the
system memory
of
Simon
or
on an
optional
memory
card. After
you
read
and work
with
your
faxes,
erase
them
as soon
as
possible
or
copy them
to
an optional
memory
card
(see
the
"Filei'on
page
48).
Most faxes
use
a
large
amount
of
memory,
so the more
faxes
you
keep
in
your
Simon,
the
less
memory
you
have
for
other
applications,
such
as Address
Book
and
Calendar.
lf
you
have
an
optional
memory
card,
recelve
your
faxes
on it
rather
than
using
Simon's
memory.
Setting
Up the Fax
Feature
To
set
Simon
up
for
faxing,
touch
the
Settings
button
on the main
Fax
screen,
and
the Fax
Settings
screen will
appear.
This
screen
contains
six
setting
buttons,
one
check
box,
and
a Use
Defaults
button
at the bottom
of the
screen.
