EnglishWhere to Find Manuals and Documentation for Specific Psion Models
Updated
Psion Community (psion.community) organizes its documentation by device model in a Devices section, so the fastest route is to find your model there and follow its links. Coverage is uneven: some models get a Wikipedia link only, while others include user guides, service manuals, and even circuit board schematics. Below is what each model entry actually points to, based on the site's current listing.
Documentation by Model
| Model | What the site links to |
|---|---|
| Organiser I (1984) | Wikipedia |
| Organiser II (1986–1996) | Wikipedia, Jaap's Psion II Page |
| Series 3 / 3a | Series 3a User Guide v1.0, Series 3a Service Manual v1.0 |
| Series 3c | Series 3c User Guide v1.0 (English) |
| Series 3mx | (listed as a model entry) |
| Series 5 (1997) | Wikipedia, Series 5 Service Manual, Series 5 Circuit Board Schematics |
| Series 5mx | Series 5mx User Guide v1.1 (English) |
| Series 5mx Pro | Serie 5mx Pro Benutzerhandbuch v1.0 (German) |
| Revo (1999–2003) | Wikipedia, Revo Handbook v1.1 (English), Revo Benutzerhandbuch v1.1 (German), Revo Service Manual |
| netBook (1999) | Wikipedia, netBook User Guide v1.0 (English), netBook User Guide v1.1 (English) |
| Series 7 (2000) | Wikipedia, Series 7 User Guide v1.0 (English) |
How to Locate Your Model's Page
- Open psion.community and go to the Devices section.
- Find your model in the list (Organiser, Series 3 family, Series 5 family, Revo, netBook, Series 7).
- Follow the link for the document type you need — user guide for day-to-day operation, service manual or schematics for hardware repair.
Expected result: you land on the specific document (often a PDF or an external page) for your exact model and version.
Things to Watch For
- Version numbers matter. The site distinguishes, for example, netBook User Guide v1.0 from v1.1, and Series 5mx User Guide v1.1. If a procedure doesn't match your device, check whether a different version is listed.
- Language varies. Some manuals exist in both English and German (Revo, Series 5mx Pro); others are English-only in this listing.
- Not every model has a manual here. Organiser I and Organiser II entries point mainly to Wikipedia and a third-party page (Jaap's Psion II Page), not to official guides.
- Hardware repair resources are rare. Only the Series 5 (service manual + schematics) and Revo/Series 3a (service manuals) have repair-level documentation in this listing.
Related Sections Worth Knowing
Beyond Devices, the site groups other resources that support documentation work:
- Software — Psion Software Index, a searchable index of EPOC16 and EPOC32 software.
- Emulation — Psion ROMs (GitHub), OpoLua (OPL for modern devices), MAME (emulation for many Psion models).
- Development — documentation collection, SIBO C SDK, CTRAN, OPL Language Server.
- Connectivity — plptools (POSIX systems), Reconnect (macOS).
If a manual you need isn't listed, the site states it welcomes contributions via Codeberg.
