Transmitting or Receiving Records

Connecting the Serial Cable

Before you can transmit or receive records you need to do the following:

1.Turn your personal computer off.

2.Connect the 9-pin plug of the Organizer PC Sync cable into a free communications (COM) port.

3.Connect the single-pin plug of the cable into the PC PORT hole on the left side of your organizer.

Synchronizing Data With PC Sync

When you synchronize your data, records that were deleted either in your Organizer or PC Sync Program will be deleted in both. New records added in either, will now be added in both. Edited records will be updated in both. If you edit the same record in both your Organizer and your PC Sync Program, copies of both edited versions of the record will be retained.

WARNING! Once you synchronize your Organizer with the PC Sync Program on one computer, they become a matched pair. Should you try to synchronize your Organizer data with PC Sync on another computer, your data is likely to be corrupted. It is best to synchronize between a single matched pair.
