Introducing the StarTAC®clipOn Organizer
Congratulations on your purchase of the StarTAC clipOn
Organizer. Attaching directly to your StarTAC phone, the
StarTAC clipOn enables you to store, view, and edit thousands
of names, numbers, appointments, notes, and tasks in a space
smaller than the average wallet.
When the clipOn is attached to the StarTAC phone, placing a
call is easy: select a contact on the clipOn and press the
button. The clipOn promptly dials the number for you.
Customize the clipOn to work the way you do. For example,
select right-handed or left-handed operation with one easy
choice on the Preferences screen.
Add contacts, names, tasks, and events on your clipOn, and
then synchronize to a personal information manager (PIM)
such as TrueSync®Desktop. TrueSync Desktop is an easy-to-
use personal information manager that is included with your
purchase. To learn more about TrueSync Desktop and
synchronization, see Chapters 5 and 6.

About Starfish TrueSync technology
TrueSync’s unique architecture provides one-step
synchronization support for many popular PIMs, devices, and
services (referred to as accessors). Starfish provides frequent
free accessor updates, to ensure that customers can synchronize
with the most recent releases of supported software and
devices. See “Introducing TrueSync technology” on page 31 to
learn how to obtain free updates.
Connecting the clipOn to your StarTAC
Remove the protective plastic cover by turning over the clipOn
and sliding the cover toward the spring clip. Lift and detach the
cover. Turn off the StarTAC phone before attaching the clipOn.
1
Insert the clipOn’s spring clip into the slot on the back of the
phone that is used to attach the phone’s auxiliary battery.
2
Slide the clipOn toward the opposite end of the phone.
3
Insert the connector on the bottom of the clipOn into the
accessory connector on the bottom of the StarTAC
telephone, and apply light pressure to ensure that it is firmly
attached.
NOTE If you are using vibration mode with an analog phone,
vibration mode will be turned off when you connect the
clipOn with your phone.
