Abstract
Abstract A portable electronic memorandum device is placed in the password set mode (Z-1) by operating switch S1. In this mode, if the correct password is set, the secret mode (Y) is set up and the secret data is displayed. If user forgets the password, switch Sc is operated in the error display mode (Z-3). By this operation, the password and the secret data are both cleared, so that secrecy of the secret data can be protected.
