4 Introduction
Introduction
The Chatpen™ CHA-30 uses Bluetooth wireless technology to
communicate. Please read the “Safe and efficient use” and “Limited
warranty” chapters before using your Chatpen.
What is Bluetooth wireless technology?
The Bluetooth wireless technology makes it possible to connect any
compatible portable and stationary communications device without
using cables. The technology is based on a radio link that offers fast
and reliable transmission of voice and data information. It does not
require a line-of-sight connection in order to establish communication.
The Bluetooth wireless technology uses a globally available frequency
range intended to ensure communication compatibility worldwide.
The Chatpen concept
The Chatpen CHA-30 allows you to, via your mobile phone and the
Internet, send your notes and drawings to any computer or mobile
phone anywhere in the world.
Whatever you write or draw is saved in the Chatpen memory, which
can hold approximately 40 pages filled with writing. Nothing of what
you write or draw is ever saved in the phone (the phone is only a
carrier of data), and the phone display only reflects what is saved
in the Chatpen.
Additional Chatpen information
For more information about your Chatpen, visit
www.SonyEricssonMobile.com/.
Note: When writing in
character fields, the
Chatpen supports the
characters used in the
following languages:
• English
•Finnish
• French
•German
•Italian
• Spanish
•Swedish

on page 9.

8 Using your Chatpen
Using your Chatpen
Note: The paper you write on must be marked with “Digital paper enabling
Anoto functionality”.
Turning your Chatpen on/off
• Remove the cap to turn on the Chatpen.
Wait for the Chatpen to vibrate once and the light to turn green.
The Chatpen is now ready to use.
• Put the cap back on the Chatpen to turn it off. To save power
and to protect the lens from dirt, always keep the cap on when
not using the Chatpen.
Writing and drawing
When writing, a steady green light on the Chatpen indicates that the
Chatpen is registering the strokes. Vibration when writing indicates
problems.
• Write and draw on the drawing
area of the paper, not too near
the edges.
• Hold the Chatpen with the lens
facing the paper.
• Do not block the lens when
writing.
You can interrupt your writing and
put on the cap (turn off the Chatpen)
to continue later. Whatever you
write or draw is saved in the
Chatpen until its memory is full.
See “Using notepads and the
Chatpen memory” on page 10.

Marking a box
To mark a box on the paper, you can tick it, put
a stroke in it or just tap it with your Chatpen.
The Chatpen will vibrate briefly to confirm the
selection.
Character fields
It is important that you write well-formed characters in the character
fields (in contrast to when you write in the drawing area).
• Write on the baseline.
• Write one character per space. Do not change an already written
character, as this may cause problems in interpreting the character.
When writing in character fields, the Chatpen supports the characters
used in the following languages: English, Finnish, French, German,
Italian, Spanish, Swedish.
Note: The Chatpen interprets what you write in the character fields. To
ensure that the interpretation is correct, always check the text that appears
in the phone display before sending it.
Type of entry Allowed character
e-mail address “A-Z”, “a-z”, “0-9”, “- @ . _ ”
phone number “0-9”, “- + ”

10 Using your Chatpen
Using notepads and the Chatpen memory
There are two different kinds of Chatpen notepads, and they are used
in two different ways.
Using a notepad with a on the first page
• Tick before you start to use the notepad the first time, to
make the Chatpen aware of the new notepad. To fill in the notepad
title is optional.
Warning! Do not touch with your Chatpen a second time.
If you do, you risk deleting all your notes in the notepad from the
Chatpen memory.
When you write in a notepad with a on the first page, all
that you write is saved in the Chatpen until the Chatpen memory
is full (approximately 40 pages filled with writing, or 80 half-pages).
When the Chatpen memory is full, the oldest page is deleted from
the memory.
• To be sure nothing is deleted by accident, always save your notes
by sending them to yourself.
Using several notepads
The Chatpen cannot differentiate between two identical notepads. If
you have used a notepad, and then change to a notepad that is identical,
there is a risk that the notes from the first notepad will be deleted
from the Chatpen memory. Therefore, use notepads that differ in
some way, for example, the colour of the cover, the brand or the size.
Using a notepad with a at the top of every page
• Tick before you write on the page, to make the Chatpen
aware of the new page.
You can only use one page in that notepad at a time.
What you have written on a page with a printed at the top is
deleted from the Chatpen memory once you send the page or tick
on another page.
If you do not send a page or tick on the new page you start
to write on, the new strokes will appear on top of the old ones.
Using the phone book
It will simplify sending messages if you use the phone book in your
phone. Instead of writing an e-mail address or a phone or fax number,
you can use the information in your phone book. This requires that
you have saved phone numbers and e-mail addresses in the phone
book, see your phone user’s guide for instructions.

NotforCommercialUse
Sending messages 11
Sending messages
The paper that you use with your Chatpen contains character fields and
check boxes. The most common functions are described below. Please
also refer to the instructions for the aper product that you are using.
Note: When sending, keep your Chatpen within a range of a few metres
from the phone it is paired with, with no solid objects in between. You can use
your Chatpen for new notes, or put on the cap, while the phone is sending.
Sending e-mail or fax messages
1. If there is a at the top of the page, tick it.

Despite the error message, the setup might have been correctly
performed. Check this by sending an e-mail or text message to
yourself.
• Receives no text message after ticking on service provider’s
configuration paper (Setting up your Chatpen alt. C)
The cause can be one of the following:
