Dolphin Peripherals 9500 manual Requirements, Setting Up Your Desktop Computer

Requirements

To synchronize, ActiveSync version 3.7 or higher must be installed on both your desktop computer and Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals ship with ActiveSync 3.7 already installed. Therefore, you must install ActiveSync 3.7 on your desktop computer from the Microsoft Companion CD that came with your terminal.

To install ActiveSync on your desktop computer, insert the Microsoft Companion CD into the CD-ROM drive of your desktop computer. Click the yellow arrow, then Start Here, and follow the directions on your screen.

Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products may damage your terminal and will void the warranty.When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal must be connected to the host PC with a peripheral device sold/manufactured

For more information about communication peripherals, see Dolphin HomeBase on page 12-1and Dolphin Mobile Base on page 13-1.

Setting Up Your Desktop Computer

When installation of ActiveSync is complete on your desktop computer, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you

•connect your terminal to your desktop computer,

•set up a partnership so you can synchronize information, and

•customize your synchronization settings.

Synchronizing from Your Desktop Computer

Because ActiveSync is already installed on the Dolphin terminal, your first synchronization process begins automatically when you finish setting up your desktop computer in the wizard and your terminal is connected to the host PC.

After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on the terminal. Notice that the same information from Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer is now on the terminal. Simply remove the Dolphin from the communication peripheral and you’re ready to use it.

By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync Options to specify the types of information you want to synchronize. The synchronization process makes the data (in the information types you select) identical on both your desktop computer and your device.

For more information about using ActiveSync on your desktop computer, open ActiveSync, then open ActiveSync Help.

Synchronizing from the Terminal

ActiveSync must be setup on your desktop computer and the first synchronization process completed before you initiate synchronization from the terminal for the first time.

To initiate synchronization the first time, tap Start > ActiveSync. The synchronization process begins.

Note: If you have a wireless LAN card, you can synchronize remotely.
