Chapter 6: Connecting netpad To A PC
Introduction
6.1 Introduction
This chapter explains how to use ActiveSync to copy files between a PC and netpad,
and how to synchronize items such as Calender, Contacts, Inbox and Tasks files. It
assumes some basic knowledge of Windows PC operating systems.
These instructions assume that you have established a link between your PC and
netpad. See “Setting Up ActiveSync” on page 37 for details on communication
links.
• Check that a link exists between the netpad 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 successfully linked,
as shown.
If this circle is grey there is no connection.
• Make sure that your link cable is connected.
• On the netpad, check the task tray for the blue monitor icon. If there is no
icon, your unit is not connected.
6.2 Using ActiveSync
ActiveSync allows Windows Explorer to see files on your netpad, using the Explore
icon in the ActiveSync window. You can copy your netpad 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 possibilities.
Note: You can change the look of Explorer using options in the View menu;
therefore, the appearance of your own screen may vary slightly from
those shown.
