Starting
a new Elephant Calendar
To begin using your calendar, simply
start writing in your calendar. When you are done
making calendar entries, place your pen in its cradle or use your pen's Blue Tooth functionality to download your pen strokes to your computer. See your pen's manufacturer's
instructions for an explanation of this process.
The first time you download your pen strokes from your pen to your computer, the Elephant Calendar Software will ask you to name your calendar. This will allow you to run multiple calendars on one computer.

Writing
on a page
As you write on your Elephant Calendar pages, each
stroke is stored in the pen's memory. To view and
use this information it must be downloaded to your
computer. To write on a page, follow these steps:
- Take the top off your digital
pen. For more information on digital pens, visit
www.elephantcalendar.com/digital_pen.htm.
- Write the text and diagrams
you want to record in your Elephant Calendar.
Note - If you want to add more text or diagrams
to a page, simply add the extra information.
- Put the top on your digital
pen.
You can download the information
from a page you have written at any time. See Downloading
data to your computer for more details.

Modifying
a page

your handwriting

placed in its cradle or is synchronized utilizing
Blue Tooth technology. See your pen's manufacturer's

When you download, the information stored in the
memory of your digital pen is transferred to your
computer.
