SUPPORT
-------
Private Secretary is a fully supported program.
Prior to program registration, free technical support is available
via E-mail, FAX or postal correspondence at the numbers and
addresses listed under Registration below.
While these are always the preferred methods, If you do not have
access to these forms of communication, you may call (408) 370-1773.
The best time to call is between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM Pacific
Time, Mon-Sat. If you get a recording, please leave a detailed
message regarding your question, allow at least 24 hours to formulate
a solution and then try again.
=====================================================================
INITIAL START UP
----------------
When Private Secretary starts the first time, it will present the
"Auto Registration" screen. If you are not yet registered, just
answer N (no) and skip to the next paragraph. If you have a
previously registered version, answer Y (yes), and this version will
lead you through the automatic registration sequence. If you
installed the program in the same directory as your registered copy,
it will use your existing settings adding any new features
automatically and the next paragraph does not apply.
After the credits screen, Private Secretary creates a series of small
files it uses to store program settings, phone numbers and reminder
times as outlined above. Once the log screen appears, you will need
to give the program a phone number or pager number. This is the
number Private Secretary will call to notify you of calls received.
You enter the number by selecting Phone Numbers under the SETTINGS
menu. As shipped from IST, the timing is set up to send call
notification to digital pagers that support the * as a dash. If this
is how you will use Private Secretary, once your pager number is
entered, you are ready to go. When a call comes in, Private
Secretary will dial your pager sending you the call number, time of
call, and number of rings on your pager display (example: 1-0930-2).
If you do not have a digital pager, or you do not get a proper
display, refer to the help file for additional setup and timing
instructions.

GENERAL INFORMATION
-------------------
An IMPORTANT concept to understand is that Private Secretary does not
hear or send voice information. It leaves that task to your
answering machine. It senses calls by detecting the ring signal sent
to it by your modem and then uses the modem to dial out to you and
send you a series of touch tones refered to as the "Digital Message".
It does not know, and therefore can not report, who called or what
the message was. You get this information by retrieving the messages
on your answering machine. Through use of special ring timing
sequences or "Call Retrieval Modes", you can cause Private Secretary
to recognize when you are retrieving your messages and not to dial
out for those calls, if desired. Details can be found using on-line
help.
Note: If you have a Caller ID capable modem and subscribe to Caller
ID service from your phone company, ask IST about Caller ID capable
versions Private Secretary.
Private Secretary requires the following hardware:
* Hayes/AT compatible auto-dial modem.
* Any standard remote call pick-up answering machine.
(to provide the voice-mail capabilities)
* EGA monitor or higher.
* Windows 3.1 or higher. (lower versions MAY work)
* Digital Pager Service (Recommended)
Because Private Secretary waits for a response at the sign on screen,
the power failure (restoration) reporting feature of Private
Secretary will not work until the program is registered. Once
Private Secretary is registered, the sign on/sign off screens will go
away and Private Secretary will run without intervention allowing the
power fail reporting feature to perform when selected by the user.
=====================================================================
