6.Firmly insert the 3.5 mm plug completely into the serial port on the right side of your BOOKMAN Sidekick and turn on your BOOKMAN.

Read “Special BOOKMAN Features” for a diagram of the serial port’s location. Caution: Make sure the serial cable plug is pushed all the way into the serial port on your BOOKMAN Sidekick. If a secure connection is not made, you will not be able to send files between your BOOKMAN and computer.

To disconnect your BOOKMAN Sidekick, it is recommended that you remove the 3.5 mm plug from your BOOKMAN Sidekick and leave the 9-pin plug inserted in the communications port.

➤Connectivity Help is Always at Hand
