Sharp electronic organizers with the IC card slot (Wizard OZ/IQ/PA/PI series)

[Akuji]

I've obtained a rare English operating guide for the Japanese PA-8500 organizer. Certain Japanese companies used Japanese organizers in their US subsidiaries, which required minimum localization of these devices. Maybe, @rprosperi can provide more details on this matter.



The particular guide can also be handy for other models of the PA family (PA-8600, PA-8800, PA-S1, etc., also OEM models from Panasonic & Hitachi) since the main features (Calendar, Notes, etc.) and their usage are the same across the lineup.

The English version of the guide is not on par with the Japanese one (which has four times as many pages). Still, it covers all the basics, including IC cards and changing the batteries.
