BOOKMAN Sidekick Connectiv-
ity software, click Test.

Finder window appears.

If the Status box says that your BOOK-
MAN Sidekick is not detected on any
communications port, make sure that
the serial cable is fully inserted in the
serial port and that you have selected

your BOOKMAN Sidekick.
3. Click OK when finished.
4. Make sure the selected COM
port matches the communica-
tions port found by the test.
