2.3Installing AccuScan Palm on Multiple PDAs

Before installing AccuScan Palm on multiple PDAs, it is recommended that each PDA be HotSynced at least once with Palm Desktop and assigned a PDA user name. With AccuScan Palm installed on your PC use the PDA Installer to select the PDAs you want to install AccuScan Palm on. The PDA install tool can be found on your PC, click on Start → Programs → AccuScan Palm, and select the “PDA Installer” icon. Then simply HotSync each PDA and AccuScan Palm will be installed.

2.4Registering AccuScan Palm

AccuScan Palm is an application that requires registration for full functionality. The trial version of AccuScan Palm limits the number of records entered on the PDA and transferred to the PC to five, and the number of sessions to two. Once AccuScan Palm is registered, these trial limitations are lifted.
