Electronic Notebook

This article is about an item in Kidou Keiji Jiban.

Jiban's Electronic Notebook.

An Electronic Notebook (電子手帳, Denshi Techō^?) is Jiban's identification item given by Yanagida. It can be used as a communicator to contact Harry Boy, Yanagida and Mayumi Igarashi in Jiban's base.

In addition to taking it out from his abdomen and presenting it when saying his name, Jiban used it to summon any of his vehicles, as well as to control their armaments electronically, or Daidaros, by entering a 3-digit PIN from 1 to 9 (most of the mechas was summoned with the code "1-5-3").

In Episode 10, it shown the function of transforming Naoto into Jiban by making the star mark part emit light.

Anti-Bioron Law

Every episode, when Jiban faces his Bionoid enemy, he ejects his Electronic Notebook from his abdomen and shows it to the monster, reading a code of Anti-Bioron Law (対バイオロン法, Tai-Baioron Hō^?) that served as his directives (much like RoboCop's Prime Directives, but giving him a greater freedom instead of restraining it):

• (5th Article) In the case of Biolon manipulating the humans' heart, the punishment can be applied by his own judgement. (（第五条）人間の信じる心を利用し、悪のために操るバイオロンと認めた場合、自らの判断で処罰する事ができる。, (Daigojō) Ningen no shinjiru kokoro o riyō shi, aku no tame ni ayatsuru Baioron to mitometa baai, mizukara no handan de shobatsu suru koto ga dekiru.^?)

DX Electronic Police Notebook

Originally, there was no plan to make it into a toy by itself, so there is no proper name. However, due to the impressive production in the show, the low-priced toy "Kidou Keiji Set" (機動刑事セット, Kidō Keiji Setto^?, lit. "Mobile Cop Set") including Electronic Notebook sold more than expected, and then it was commercialized as "DX Electronic Police Notebook" (DX電子ポリス手帳, DX Denshi Porisu Techō^?). Therefore, although it was the initial equipment, the toy was released on July, in the middle of the series.
