Welcome
Thank You for buying the SHARP SL-C750 / SL-C760 / SL-C860.
This device is not sold officially out of Japan. It is a Japanese device with English user
interface and English keyboard.
If You are mainly interested in a calendar, addressbook, etc., You are perhaps better off
with a simple organizer.
Butif an English environmentdoes not scare You,and You are lookingfor a mobile Linux
system with excellent performance, You have made the right choice.
Each device is tested and localised by us in English in most aspects, before it is shipped.
So You can start at once, without navigating through Kanji characters.
The Zaurus will start in Japanese after a hard-reset. But do not be afraid, the steps for
localisation are described on page 16.
Please note that SHARP Electronics Europe does not support this device.

Zaurus models SL-C750 und SL-C760/860
This manual covers the models SHARP Zaurus SL-C750, SL-C760 and SL-C860.
The essential difference between the C750 and the C760/860 is the bigger battery and
the increased amount of Flash memory (64 MB) in the model SL-C760/860. Since all
models, apart from the colour of their cover (SL-C750: black, SL-C760: white, SL-C860:
“champagne silver”), are mostly identical, the differences will be explained at the
appropriate places in this manual.
