Introducing the StarTAC®Clip-On Mobile
Organizer
Congratulations on your purchase of the StarTAC Clip-On
Mobile Organizer. Attaching directly to your StarTAC phone,
the StarTAC Clip-On enables you to store, view, and edit
thousands of names, numbers, appointments, notes, and tasks
in a space smaller than the average wallet.
To dial a number, select a contact on your Clip-On and press
the Call button. The Clip-On promptly dials the number for
you.
In addition, the Clip-On can be easily customized to work the
way you do: go to the Preferences screen, and choose whether
you want to operate it with your right hand or left hand.
You can add contacts, names, tasks, and events on your Clip-
On, and then synchronize to a personal information manager
(PIM), such as TrueSync®Desktop, and/or a handheld device.
TrueSync Desktop is an easy-to-use personal information
manager that is included with your purchase. To learn more
about TrueSync Desktop and how to synchronize, see Chapters
5 and 6.

6Introduction
Starfish updates its synchronization accessors frequently, to
ensure that customers can synchronize with the most recent
releases of popular software organizers and devices. For all the
