Synchronizing Content and Applications

The synchronization process moves files between your eBookMan and the PC. It also moves data between your personal information manager (such as Microsoft® Outlook® ) and organizer programs on eBookMan (such as Date Book).

When you click , the Desktop Manager does the following.

1.Compares the files in the Device pane (on eBookMan) and Contents pane (on your PC).

Note: Some files available at www.franklin.com/ebookman are downloaded to the Desktop Manager in a com- pressed format. During synchronization, zipped files are identified. You will be prompted to unpack each file and synchronize again. To unpack a zipped *.seb file, double-click the file or go to FileUnpack.

If a file in the Device pane shares the same name as a file in the sync folder, the older file is overwritten.

2.Uploads unique and changed files from the Device pane (eBookMan).

3.Downloads all files from the sync folder on your PC.

4.Synchronizes personal information (if Intellisync is config- ured).

5.Synchronizes audio books through AudibleManager® (if audio books are detected and AudibleManager® is set up).

To move individual files, except audio books, between eBookMan and the PC, do one of the following things:

•Drag individual files between the Contents pane to the Device pane.

•Double click a file in the Contents pane.

•Right click a file and click Send to eBookMan (in the Contents pane).

Music Files

The Desktop Manager converts MP3 files to the eBookMan music format and gives you a destination choice (RAM folder or MMC folder, when available) before sending the file to your device. To synchronize individual music files, follow these steps:

Note:

Before synchro- nizing, always make sure your eBookMan device is connected properly to your PC and turned on.

Note:

The amount of time it takes to synchronize a file or files varies by the type of file, the size of the file, the type of port, and the file destination - RAM or MMC.
