Enter your operator SMSC (provided in Table X) beginning with a "+", then the country code and finally your Service Center Number. Tap OK. You're set ! Still having problems? You do not know how to retrieve your SMSC from your mobile phone?

Unless you really have a cable, IRDA should be your choice.

3. MCC and MNC Configuration

The Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC) are required for modifying operator logos on your mobilephone. You can assign a different logo for each operator you use. For example, if you frequently roam between the French Itineris network and the UK Orange network, you can program your phone so that it displays a logo when you are on Itineris, and a different one when you are on Orange. To identify wireless carriers, the GSM MoU uses the MCC (one per country), and MNC  (one per carrier per country) . We provide TWO distinct way to set up the MCC and MNC for your favorite operators. Automatic Configuration Run the "Insert Operator" Applications. (which you installed when you installed MNCMCC.PRC on your handheld). Select your Country from the list of countries. Use the arrow on the right side of the list to scroll between countries. When you have found your country, TAP on the square box on the left of the country name, then tap on the insert button to insert its info in the MonkeyLogo database. You can now return to the MonkeyLogo application ! Manual Configuration To access this configuration, Click Menu->Options->Operator Settings. Enter a name for your connection (Vodafone for example). A drop down menu is provided for entering multiple operators. Refer to Table Y (or your mobile operator) for the proper MMC/MNC combination. Still having problems?

3.2 Entering configuration by Hand

Multiple phone configurations are possible on a single copy of MonkeyLogo. Simply enter additional operators and MCC/MNC configurations in the setup area.

Finally, to configure your operator services for all the different operators you might have (if you have several phones), go to "options" then "operator settings" and enter your name, then your MMC (mobile county code), and MNC (mobile national code). We have provided a drop down menu including codes for several countries, but if you are unable to locate yours, contact your mobile service provider. If you are adding a new MMC/MNC combination, press the "add" button to activate this information.Layout of the MonkeyLogo Editor screenAt the top of the edit screen you can name you Logo in the title entry line. Located beneath the title there is a tool bar. Directly under that is the "drawing" box where you actually use the screen to do you editing/creating, and below that is another box which gives you overview of the Logo. To the left of the overview box is a magnifying glass for zooming in on an area. To the right of the overview box are arrows for moving the logo around in the drawing box. And at the very bottom are the 3 function boxes for Saving (Save), exiting the editor (Cancel), and Deleting (Delete).

When you open MonkeyLogo from the main screen choose "new", to start building your personal Logo. Once on the builder/editor screen you have some "functions" in the toolbar used to build your Logo.Creating a New LogoYou will not use the graffiti pad to create your Logo; you will draw directly in the box on the screen.First you can enter a name in for your Logo, the default name will appear as "name not set". Just use the Graffiti pad to enter a title for you Logo. Then use the toolbar to draw, erase, block, or shift the position of the Logo.

1. Drawing with the pen (1^st box)- to make a dot, simply tap the screen, to erase the dot tap it again in the exact same place. To draw a line drag the stylus in a straight line and you will see it appear in the Logo Box.
2. The eraser (2^nd box)- use the eraser to take away any marks, lines or shapes as you run the stylus over them. This is most effective to use when you are erasing a large area, for detailed areas, just tap the pixel you want to erase.
3. Shading (creating block) (3^rd box) To use this begin in any area of the Logo Box using the stylus pen and while maintaining contact with the screen move vertical or horizontal until you have covered the desired area. Use this option if you would like to have a solid background. To complete the process simply put your stylus away from the surface and you will have a shaded area.
4. Shifting/Stretching/retracting (last 4 boxes) The best way to understand how the shift buttons work is try drawing a circle then choose any of the shift buttons and tap in the center of your circle. It basically will expand or contract the overall size and shape of your Logo. These buttons are handy if you are tying to create a symmetrical logo.

Zooming in on Logo for detailThere is also a button to "zoom" in on the area you are working on. This will give you the ability to put greater detail into your design. To use this function, click on the magnifying glass icon and then you will see a box appear in the bottom overview of your Logo. You can then use the arrows to locate the specific area you choose to detail.Editing a previously created LogoFrom the main screen highlight the logo and then choose Edit. From there, simply follow the steps from "Creating a Logo". Remember, if you don’t save an edit under a different name you will lose the original. In turn, if you forget to save your changes, the Logo will automatically revert back to the original.Sending the LogoTo send a Logo you have created, make sure everything has been configured properly (from the set up section of this manual), then select the logo you wish to send. Once you have chosen the logo, hit the send button. You then enter the phone number you want to send it to, or you can send it to someone in your address book by clicking the "phone" icon. This is located to the right of where you enter the phone number. Copying a LogoIf you have a Logo that you would like to keep but make modifications to it, you can copy it. Highlight the logo you wish to copy, then go to the drop down menu and choose "copy icon". This will take you to the edit Logo screen where you can make your changes. If you don’t make any changes, you will have two of the exact same logos. You can then return to the program later, modify it and save your changes under a different name. If you copy a logo on accident, just delete the extra logo. Information and HelpIf you see an icon that looks like a circle with an "I" in the middle that means you can get some information by tapping on the "I". This information is brief, but helpful in the event that you are unable to access the detailed MonkeyLogo manual. The icon is usually located in the upper right hand corner of the screen or drop down box. Beaming a Logo

Select the Logo you want to send from the List, Tap the "menu" silkscreen button (or tap once on the application name, if you are using PalmOS 3.5), then select "BEAM Logo". Line up the two Palm's infrared port (as for beaming), your logo will be transferred to your friend's Palm. Your friend will need to have MonkeyLogo installed to view or edit it.
