Connectivity Software

6.Firmly insert the 3.5 mm plug completely into the serial port on the right side of your BOOKMAN Sidekick and turn on your BOOKMAN.

Read “Special BOOKMAN Features” for a diagram of the serial port’s location. Caution: Make sure the serial cable plug is pushed all the way into the serial port on your BOOKMAN Sidekick. If a secure connection is not made, you will not be able to send files between your BOOKMAN and computer.

To disconnect your BOOKMAN Sidekick, it is recommended that you remove the 3.5 mm plug from your BOOKMAN Sidekick and leave the 9-pin plug inserted in the communications port.

➤Connectivity Help is Always at Hand

You can view a help message at virtually any window in the connectivity software by clicking Help on your computer. Use the scroll bars to read the help mes- sage. To exit help, click Close.

Here is how to install the connectivity software for Windows version 3.1 or later, or Windows 95. This section as- sumes a basic understanding of the Windows environment.

Note: If you upgrade your PC Sidekick software at a later date, you must rein- stall the connectivity software and select the appropriate Sidekick version.

Caution: After you have installed the connectivity software, you will be prompted to reboot Windows.

1.Insert the BOOKMAN Sidekick Connectivity disk into a 3.5” floppy disk drive.

2.If you are using Windows 3.1 or later, select Run from the File menu in the Program Manager. If you are using Windows 95, select Run from the Start menu.

3.Type a:\setup and then click OK (with a:\ being the letter of your 3.5” floppy drive).
