About PsiWin 2

You can use the PC connectivity software PsiWin 2 to integrate the netBook with PCs running Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0. By connecting the netBook to a PC with a Docking cable and running PsiWin, you can:

∙View your netBook files from Windows Explorer by using the ‘My Psion’ icon which is added to the PC’s Desktop. The ‘My Psion’ icon gives you access to all of PsiWin’s powerful file management facilities for your netBook files.

∙Upgrade from an earlier model of Psion handheld computer to a netBook as a one-stop process. All your files will be copied from your old Psion (Series 3/3a/3c/3mx or Siena), converted to the netBook file formats on the PC, then copied to your netBook.

∙Drag and drop files between the netBook and the PC in the same way that you would between PC drives, and they will be automatically converted to the appropriate file format at the same time.

∙Synchronize Agenda files and your address book on the netBook with PC agendas (applications) and contact managers to keep them in step with each other.

∙Back up your netBook files to the PC, then restore them from the PC to the netBook again should you ever need to.

∙Print files on your netBook to a printer connected directly to your PC, or available to your PC via a network.
