Using the Connectivity Software

The BOOKMAN® Sidekick® Connectivity software is a powerful tool

for sending information between your BOOKMAN Sidekick and your personal computer. Before you can send information, you must first link the files that you want to either transfer or merge.

The simplest and quickest way to combine

all your linked BOOKMAN Sidekick and PC Sidekick files

is to use the Merge All option. To perform more complicated transfers or merges of individual pairs of linked files, use the Advanced Transfer option.

If you make a mistake when transferring or merging files, you can

easily recover your most recently transferred or merged PC Sidekick files. In addition, for storage and safety, you can back up and restore

all the files from your BOOKMAN Sidekick to your computer,

even if you do not have PC Sidekick.
