To reset models PS-6700, PS-6800, PS-6760Si, PS-6860Si, PS-6960Si using the keyboard:
WARNING: Resetting these organizers deletes the password as well as all other information. If you have a PC Connectivity Kit, be sure to backup your data prior to reset -- you will lose all data when you reset.
To reset (and erase the memory) for any of these units, do the following:

1.	Make sure the unit is off.
2.	Press the , , and keys at the same time.
3.	Turn on the unit while still holding these keys.
4.	After the unit is on, release the keys. This will trigger a beep.
5.	Turn the unit off.
6.	Turn the unit on. All data in the organizer's memory has now been erased.

To reset models PS-6700, PS-6800, PS-6760Si, PS-6860Si, PS-6960Si by removing the batteries:
Take both batteries out. Press the On key or the INDIGLO night-light key (if you have one) repeatedly until the menu display disappears. (This should take about 1 minute.) When the display is no longer visible, the memory is cleared and you may reinsert the batteries. Your password and all other data have been erased.

New organizer: If you have purchased a new organizer and wish to copy the data from your old organizer, you can do so if you have the PS-6155 software and the dock station. Connect the new organizer to the dock station, open the PS-6155 software, and click Link, Send.

TImeRunner files: If you have TImeRunner (.TIL) PC files, you can import them into a PS-6155 file. You can either create a new file for the TImeRunner entries, or import the TImeRunner entries into a file that already contains entries, adding the TImeRunner entries to the entries in the PS-6155 file.

Before importing a file of TImeRunner entries into the PS-6155 software, you must create the .TIL file using either the PS-9020 or IS-8150 Link software.

Note: When you import a TImeRunner file, only the entries are imported. None of the option settings (password, address list names or defaults, or keywords) are imported.

To import the TImeRunner entries:

1.	Open or create a file into which you want to import the TImeRunner entries. The file must be a .PSD file.
2.	From the File menu, select Import, and then select TImeRunner File (TIL). The Import TImeRunner File window is displayed.
3.	Select the .TIL file you want to import (as you would normally in a Windows program). After you select the file, the import process begins. A progress indicator bar reports the import status.
4.	When the import is complete, a message is displayed to let you know how many entries were imported. Click OK.

Note: Conflict resolution is not supported for the importing of TImeRunner files. As a result, you may have duplicate entries if you import a TImeRunner file into an existing file.

If you have a PS-6760Si, a PS-6860Si, or a PS-6960Si, you can synchronize the files on your organizer and your PC in one step. When you choose the Synchronize command, the PS-6155 software determines if PC and organizer entries have been changed in some way (for example, additions, deletions, or modifications), and updates the PC and/or organizer entries accordingly. After synchronization is completed, no difference exists between the entries on the PC and the entries on the organizer.

Although you can update the PC and organizer files on a non-synchronized organizer, it requires a series of actions.

To update the two files for a non-synchronized organizer:

1.	Copy organizer entries to the PC file. (Click on Link, Receive.) If a conflict occurs between .PSD entries and corresponding organizer entries, you can resolve the conflict by selecting an option in the dialog box that appears.
2.	On the PC, delete any unwanted entries.
3.	On the PC, update Organizer Options if desired. (Click on Category, Organizer Options.)
4.	Send all categories of entries to the organizer. (Click on Link, Send.) The PC file is now synchronized with the organizer's memory.

To resolve the problem, ensure that:

•	The PS-6155 cable is properly connected to the PC's serial port.
•	The organizer is properly seated in the dock-station cradle.
•	The correct organizer model is selected on the Connection window. (Click on Setup, then click on Connection...)
•	The correct serial port (COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4) is selected on the Connection window. (Click on Setup, then Connection...)
•	You have previously set the Date and Time on the organizer by choosing Options, 4 (Set Date and Time). Otherwise, the organizer will not turn on automatically.
•	You have not locked the organizer with a password. If the organizer is locked, unlock it by choosing Options, 2 (Lock/Unlock the Unit) and following on-screen instructions.
•	The organizer is not in calculator or edit mode.
•	A .PSD file that corresponds to the current organizer memory is open on the PC.

After checking these items, try again. Refer to the online help for additional assistance.

Note: The time required for synchronization is dependent on the number of new, modified, or deleted entries to be handled. As a result, synchronizing may take a few seconds to several minutes.

•	Eliminate any applications that may be distracting the processor from the communication task. (Close all other applications, and disable screen savers and virus scanners.)
•	Adjust the Transmit Buffer.

-	In Windows 3.1, 3.11, and Windows for Workgroups 3.11, disable the entire Transmit Buffer.

	WARNING: We do not recommend that you try this unless you are experienced in making changes to your system files (such as the SYSTEM.INI). If you do attempt this change, make a backup copy of the file before you begin.
	To disable the buffer:
	Add COMXFIFO=0 to the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file (substitute the number of the COM port you are using for X in COMXFIFO). When you finish, you can enable the buffer again by returning the setting to COMXFIFO=1.
	If you have Windows for Workgroups 3.11, you can also set the size of the transmit buffer by adding COMXTXFIFO=12 (substituting the the number of the COM port you are using for the first X) or adjust the receive buffer by adding COMXRXFIFO=8 (substituting the number of the COM port you are using for the first X). You generally should adjust only the transmit buffer.
-	In Windows 95, adjust the Transmit Buffer by following these steps:
	Click on Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel. From the Control Panel, click on the System icon. Click on the Device Manager tab. Double-click on the Ports section, if necessary, and then double-click on the COM port you are using. Click on the Port Settings tab, then click on the Advanced button at the bottom of the dialog box. Move the Transmit Buffer selector all the way to Low, and move the Receive Buffer selector to High.

If you are still having difficulty and would like a listing of the helper files (with date, size, and location), please contact Customer Support. For prompt assistance, please be prepared to provide Customer Support with the Internal Error you are receiving and your PS-6155 software version.

TI has conducted tests that indicate your TI organizer should not have any problems with airport x-rays or metal detectors.

Yes. Before you return an electronic organizer, you should contact Customer Support (1-800-TI-CARES, 1-800-842-2737) to arrange for the return.

A defective electronic organizer will be replaced with the same or comparable reconditioned model (at TI's option) when it is returned, postage prepaid, to a Texas Instruments Service Facility. Texas Instruments cannot assume responsibility for loss or damage during incoming shipment. For your protection, carefully package the electronic organizer for shipment and insure it with the carrier. Be sure to enclose the following:

• your full return address
• a daytime phone number
• a note describing the problem you experienced
• a copy of the sales receipt or other proof of purchase to determine warranty status

Please ship the organizer postage prepaid; C.O.D. shipments cannot be accepted.

The primary advantage is the addition of the synchronization feature. (Synchronization will be important to you if you have one of these models: PS-6760Si, PS-6860Si, or PS-6960Si.) Using synchronization, you can make changes to your PC or organizer entries, and, with just a click on the synchronize button , make the PC and organizer files identical.

The Version 2.0 software also includes:

• a new, easy-to-use toolbar.
• the ability to exclude duplicate entries if you are using a non-synchronized organizer.
• automatic loading of the last file you edited when you open the software program.

No. Your old dock station should work with a new organizer. If you upgrade to Version 2.0 of the PS-6155 software, you will still be able to use the same dock station. See the PC Connectivity Kit page at http://www.ti.com/organizers/docs/ps6155.htm to download the new software.
