  • Page 5: Welcome

    Welcome Thank you for buying the SHARP SL-C1000 / SL-C3000 / SL-C3100 / SL-C3200. This device is not sold from SHARP 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.

    You should now connect the power supply with the Zaurus (the AC-in is located on the backside of the device). The Zaurus will be charged and in the upper left corner should glow a yellow charging LED. Please charge the Zaurus for some time, before turning it on. SHARP SL-C1000/3x00 Page 9...

  • Page 12: Device Backside

    Comment regarding the Serviceport: Zaurus-enthusiasts will assume that there’s the well known SHARP I/O port hidden behind the cover. Wrong ! Behind this cover you will find the same connector as in all previous Zauris but for the SL-C1000/SL-C3000 there is NO longer serial or USB communication supported via this connector.
  • Page 13: Hard-Reset

    Take the stylus and give the button a short prick - Reset done. One-Handed Use The controls at the left side offer a fast and convenient navigation, if the display is turned over, onto the keyboard. SHARP SL-C1000/3x00 Page 13...

  • Page 16: Umlauts / Euro

    It’s very simple to make a screenshot with the Zaurus. Just press “FN” + “Shift” + “C”. The picture is stored in the “Screen_Files” directory of the Zaurus or on a memory card (if one is inserted). Page 16 SHARP SL-C1000/3x00...

    The telnet service is opened for configuration purposes and hardcore-users. Reach the Zaurus through USB via telnet to the IP address 192.168.129.201. The username for telnet logins is "zaurus", without password. There is no FTP server installed by default! Page 18 SHARP SL-C1000/3x00...
  • Page 19: The Zaurus Usb Port

    Note: While changing the settings in “PC-Link Setting” the USB cable should not be connected to the Zaurus. Otherwise you will see the error message “USB-Alert”. In this case please pull the USB cable and try it again. SHARP SL-C1000/3x00 Page 19...
  • Page 20: Connecting Usb-Memory To The Zaurus (Zaurus Is Host)

    # umount /mnt/usbstorage Attention: If you perform a factory-reset and restore our localisation backup, you need to create the directory “/mnt/usbhdd” manually. Please check this in case the automount doesn’t work. Page 20 SHARP SL-C1000/3x00...

    Annotations about Software Applications MoviePlayer The SHARP Movie Player is able to play .asf-files, encoded with MPEG4 Video V1 and simple MPEG-files. Also well known is the doublepack mplayer/Kino2. Please remind to donwload the mplayer version for the C1000/3x00 series models. The former C-series Zauri were equipped with an ATI graphics chip that is no longer used in the 1000/3x00 series.
  • Page 22: Localisation After Factory-Reset

    Reinsert the battery, close the cover and turn the switch back to "Betrieb". • Connect the power supply and wait until the yellow charging LED lights up (without AC connected, the Zaurus won’t start the Reset procedure !). Page 22 SHARP SL-C1000/3x00...
  • Page 23 The 4 shown menu options mean (from top to bottom): • Cancel (quit flash menu and boot normally) • Execute FSCK (filesystem check) • Reset (reset factory defaults) Reset also deletes the data partition of the harddisk ! • Flash / Update SHARP SL-C1000/3x00 Page 23...
  • Page 24: First Start

    This option may take 1.5 hours or longer ! First start A nice, red logo from SHARP appears and the Zaurus is reset. After a minute, the well-known "CG Silicon / Zaurus" screen is visible, which means that there is another exciting minute to wait.
  • Page 25: Run Restore

    Use only the matching backup for your Zaurus. Please don’t try to restore a backup from another model in your SL-C1000 or SL-C3x00. Please remind that the backup needs to be placed in the subdir “Backup_Files” of the memory card (see note on page 22). SHARP SL-C1000/3x00 Page 25...

  • Page 27 Click the left button and the time of Kanji on the Zaurus will be over for the time being. While restoring the backup, the "CG-Silicon" screen appears for a moment, then a progress bar, which hopefully will reach 100%. Afterwards the Zaurus restarts and it is done! SHARP SL-C1000/3x00 Page 27...
  • Page 28: Alternative Roms

    SL-C1000/3x00 Quickstart Alternative Roms We ship our Zauri with a heavily modified and extended SHARP original system. In internet forums this system is often called “TRIsoft Rom”. The term “Rom” does not mean a real ROM-chip. It’s the usual description for the system that is located in the flash memory or (for the 3x00 models) on a partition of the harddisk.
  • Page 29: Rom-Image For Which Dog

    SHARP Rom. Back to the SHARP ROM SL-C1000 / SL-C3100/3200: To get back to the SHARP Rom you need to perform a NAND-restore. This is done in the Zaurus service menu. All steps are explained at page 34.
  • Page 30: Restoring The Harddisk (3X00 Models)

    Restoring the harddisk (3x00 models): Most other systems change the partition scheme of the harddisk or (for the SL-C3000) overwrite the SHARP original system data. To restore to the original state you need to re-set the partition table and place the proper files and directories in the system partition(s).
  • Page 31: Diag / Service Menu

    Here upon, the Zaurus shows the first page of the service menu in the format portrait: Navigation within the menu is possible with the stylus, the arrow keys or the scroll wheel. A function is selected by "OK" and getting back from anywhere is accomplished by pressing "Cancel". SHARP SL-C1000/3x00 Page 31...
  • Page 32: Quit Service Menu

    It is senseless to create a backup of the harddisk. This would take hours and you will need a CF card > 4GB. The contents of the harddisk can be quick and easily restored if you use the file http://www.trisoft.de/download/SLC3000SYSPART.zip from our download area. Page 32 SHARP SL-C1000/3x00...
  • Page 33 If the backup process is complete, press “Cancel” to get back to the menu screen. The created NAND backup will have the filename systc100.dbk for the SL-C1000, systc300.dbk for the SL-C3000, systc310.dbk for the SL-C3100 and systc320.dbk for the SL-C3200. SHARP SL-C1000/3x00 Page 33...
  • Page 34: Restore With Service Menu

    It is imperative to use a power source to run the restore process. Attention (2): Never ever try to restore a NAND-Backup from a different model. Only the restore of the appropriate backup set will result in a working Zaurus. Page 34 SHARP SL-C1000/3x00...
  • Page 35: Boot To Command-Line

    Tick the “Reset” button • Continue holding “D” + “B” pressed and power the Zaurus on Now you should see the white bootscreen with the red SHARP-Logo. But this time the screen should scroll up, revealing the following lines: INIT: version 2.78 booting...
