- 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.
- =====================================================================
- REGISTRATION
- ------------
- When you register Private Secretary(tm), you will receive:
-
- * A registration code which will; eliminate the signon/signoff
