Apple Newton Connection Utilities (for Windows) - Manual (Page 8)

Preparing your Newton device
Before you use the Newton Connection Utilities, you need to tell your
Newton device how it is connected to the computer.
IMPORTANT Make sure you follow the setup instructions on your Newton
device to enter your name and other owner information. The computer uses
this name when it creates a backup file. See your Newton device user’s
manual to learn how to enter your name. Also, it’s a good idea to name the
storage cards you use with your Newton device.
