Using the Model 100
Power Sources
The Model 100 can operate on 4 size AA Alkaline Manganese batteries.
The Model 100 can also operate on ordinary household current (120VAC) by attaching an AC adapter (Catalog Number 26-3804).
Turning the Model 100 On
To power-up the Model 100, simply set the Power Switch (located on the right side of the Computer) to ON. On initial
Power-Up, the Main Menu appears on the Display.
Setting the Date and Time
The current day, time, and date are listed on the top of the Menu. To change these, enter the BASIC Interpreter Program,
and type (for example):
DAY$= "Mon" ENTER
DATE$ = ''03/18/83 '' ENTER
TIME$= "13:45:25" ENTER
Selecting Menu Options
To access a program or file in the Model 100's memory (from the Menu level), use the arrow keys to position the Cursor on
top of the appropriate file. If the file is a data file, the Model 100 enters the Text Editor. If the file is a BASIC
program, the Model 100 enters BASIC and runs the program. If the file is a machine-language program (such as the BASIC
Intsrpreter, BASIC, or the Text Editor, TEXT) the Model 100 runs the program.
Turning the Model 100 Off
To turn off the Model 100, simply set the Power Switch to OFF. RAM files currently in RAM are preserved for your access
when you turn the Model 100 back on. (To insure that yourfiles are preserved, turn the power off only from the Menu
display or, if in an Application Program or file, only when the cursor is blinking.) The Model 100 features a convenient
Auto-Power Off function. The Computer will turn itself off automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity (no keyboard input
or program running). To turn the Computer back on, move the ON/OFF switch to OFF, then back to ON.

you for "More" or "Quit." Pressing M or F3 retrieves the next screenful, pressing Q or F4 ends the Find process.
F5 Lfnd string
Works exactly as Find (Q) with the exception that instead of displaying the results on the Screen, SCHEDL sends the data
to the printer.
F8 Menu
Exits the SCHEDL Program and returns to the Menu.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Finds the string in the ADRS.DO file. If string occurs more than once in the file, ADDRSS displays a screenful and prompts
you for "More" or "Quit." Pressing M or F3 retrieves the next screenful, pressing Q or F4 ends the Find Process.
F5 Lfnd string
Works exactly as Find with the exception that instead of displaying the results on the Screen, ADDRSS sends the data to
the printer.
F8 Menu
Exits ADDRSS and returns to the Menu.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Telecommunications (TELCOM) Quick Reference
Using the Telecommunications Program
To start the Telecommunications Program, position the Menu Cursor over the word TELCOM and press ENTER.
Special Commands and Keys in TELCOM
When the Program displays the message TELCOM :, you may issue any of the following commands:
* Find string (F1)
* Finds a string from ADRS.DO. Within this mode:
* CALL (F2)
* calls up the currently found number
CALL (F3)
* finds the next matching string
QUIT (F4)
* cancels the search.
Call number (F2) Calls the phone number. If a number was just found with Q, then TELCOM calls that number.
Stat config (F3) Change communications configuration to the given,config. If no configuration is given, then TELCOM
displays,the current configuration.
Term (F4) Puts TELCOM into the Terminal Mode. Within Terminal Mode:
F1 Displays the previous page received.
F2 Transfer incoming data into a RAM file.
F3 Transmit a file to the host system.
F4 Toggles between full and half duplex.
F5 Echoes incoming data to the printer.
F8 Exits Terminal Mode and returns to TELCOM.
Menu (F8) Exits TELCOM and returns to the Menu.
Communications Configuration
For RS-232C communications, the configuration description consists of a five character string of the format rwpbs, where:
r Baud Rate. This is a number from 1 to 9, where 1 = 75; 2 = 110 ; 3 = 300 ; 4 = 600 ; 5 = 1200 ; 6 = 2400 ; 7 = 4800 ; 8
= 9600 ; 9 = 19200. M may be used. M sets built-in modem to 300 baud.
w Word Length. This is a number from 6 to 8, where 6 = 6 bits; 7 = 7 bits; 8 = 8 bits.
p Parity. Either E,O,N, or I where E = Even ; O = Odd ; N = None; I= Ignore.
b Stop Bits. Either 1 or 2, where 1 = 1 stop bit; 2 = 2 stop bits.
s XON/XOFF Status. Either E or D, where E = Enable; D = Disable.
Modem communication configuration consists of a five character string of the pattern wpbs, as defined for RS-232C
communications. (TELCOM automatically sets the baud rate to 300 baud.)
Examples
88E1E 9600 baud, 8 bit words, even parity, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF enable. (Uses RS-232C port.) '
M7N2D 300 baud, 7 bit words, no parity check, 2 stop bits, XON/ XOFF disabled. (Uses built-in modem.)
Auto Log-on Commands
You may store auto log-on information, along with phone numbers, in the ADRS.DO File. When you call the host (using
Auto-dial), any characters enclosed within < and > are sent to the host as the Log-on Sequence. You may include the
following abbreviations within the Log-on Sequence:
?c Wait for c to be sent from the host (c is any character)
= Pause for 2.0 seconds
!c Insure that c is interpreted as a character, not a command (c is any character).
^c Sends control character equivalent to " c (c is any character from A-Z)
Example:
<=^C?U9857,756^M?PMICRO!?^M>
Pauses for 2.0 seconds, sends a BREAK ( ^C) the computer then waits for the host to transmit a "U". The computer then
transmits 9857,756, followed by a carriage return (^M). It again waits for the host to transmit a "P", and then transmits
MICRO? followed by carriage return. (the !) insures that TELCOM doesn't interpret the question mark as a "wait"
command.)
Any phone number to be auto-dialed must be preceded by a colon. A second colon terminates the auto-sequence.
CIS:555-1234:

RAM Files (RAM)
RAM File Filenames and Extensions
RAM filenames consistof a string of one to six characters, the first of which is a letter. In addition, most RAM files
have specific extensions which are suffixedto the filename. These extensions are:
.BA
BASIC Program File
.DO
ASCII Formatted File (a BASIC datafile, a Text Editor File, certain BASIC program files)
.CO
Command File (a machine-language file)
Note: Most commands which allow you to specify a device (such as LCD,MDM, and so on) default to RAM . In addition, BASIC
can often assume the extension of a file from the context of the command.
