Chapter 5: Using The PC Connection

Introduction

5.1 Introduction

This chapter explains how to use ActiveSync to copy files between a PC and the NETBOOK PRO, and to ‘synchronize’ files between the two devices. It assumes some basic knowledge of Windows® PC operating systems.

These instructions assume that you have established a link between your PC and NETBOOK PRO. See “Setting Up ActiveSync” on page 40 for details on communi- cation links.

•Check that a link exists between the NETBOOK PRO and the PC by looking in the PC’s System tray in the bottom right-hand corner of your desktop. There should be a green circle in the system tray if you have suc- cessfully linked, as shown.

If this circle is grey there is no connection.

•Make sure that your link cable is connected.

•On the NETBOOK PRO, check the taskbar for the blue monitor icon. If there is no icon, your unit is not connected.

5.2Using ActiveSync

ActiveSync allows Windows Explorer to see files on your NETBOOK PRO, using the Explore icon in the ActiveSync window. You can copy your NETBOOK PRO files in most of the ways you can copy any normal PC file, including copying or moving files to your PC in order to print them. The methods outlined in this chapter are representative of ways that you might use Explorer, but are not the only possibili- ties.
