chapter 2
FORMING A PARTNERSHIP
Your C-Series handheld PC acts much like a “computer assistant”—it supplements the capabilities of your regularly used computer when you cannot be at your desk. The handheld PC does this through “partnering” with your regular computer. A partnership is the process of establishing a connection with your regularly used computer for the purpose of synchronizing and transferring data between the computer and the handheld PC.
Forming a partnership involves five steps, each of which is discussed in this chapter:
Step 1: Determine computer requirements
Step 2: Install Windows CE Services on the computer
Step 3: Configure the computer’s communications port
Step 4: Connect the handheld PC to the computer
Step 5: Install the Compaq C-Series software
Additional information on forming a partnership can be found in Microsoft’s Handheld PC Companion and in the Windows CE Services Help that you installed on your computer.
Forming a Partnership 2-1
Step 1: Determine Computer Requirements
Before establishing a partnership, be sure your computer meets the minimum configuration requirements listed below:
■486/33DX or higher processor
■Microsoft Windows 95 (or later) or
Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (or later)
■8 MB of memory (Windows 95)
12 MB of memory (Windows NT Workstation 4.0)
■10 MB of available hard disk space
■Available 9- or 25-pin serial port (adapter required for 25-pin serial port)
■CD-ROM drive
■VGA or higher resolution graphics card
■Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
NOTE: Some third-party applications may have additional configuration requirements. Refer to the documentation included with these applications for more information.
2-2 Forming a Partnership
Step 2: Install Windows CE Services
Windows CE Services is the software that allows you to synchronize data between your handheld PC and your computer. Follow the steps below to install Windows CE Services on your computer.
IMPORTANT: Before installing this software, be sure your computer meets the minimum configuration requirements listed earlier in this chapter.
1.Insert the Microsoft CD into the computer’s CD-ROM drive. (If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, see “Ordering Software on Diskette” for information on obtaining Windows CE diskettes.)
2.Follow the instructions included with the CD and on the computer screen to install Windows CE Services and other software.
Step 3: Configure the Communications Port
Before connecting, you must configure your computer’s COM port so that it can communicate with your handheld PC.
NOTE: This procedure covers only the configuration for an autosync cable (serial cable) connection. For information on connecting with an infrared port, RAS, or network, refer to Chapter 7, “Using the Infrared Feature,” or see “Get Connected” in the Windows CE Services Help that you installed on your computer.
Using Windows NT Workstation
Select Start→Settings→Control Panel. Choose the Ports icon. Configure a COM port for your handheld PC with the following settings: 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Using Windows 95
Select Start→Settings→Control Panel. Choose the System icon, then select the Device Manager tab. Configure a COM port for your handheld PC with the following settings: 19200 baud,
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Forming a Partnership 2-3
Step 4: Connect the Handheld PC to the Computer
Once Windows CE Services is installed on your computer and the communications port is configured, you are ready to connect your handheld PC to the computer. To do so, follow the steps below.
CAUTION: Route cords and cables so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to the power plug, electrical outlet, and the point where cords and cables exit the device.
1.Connect the 16-pin end of the auto-sync cable to the serial connector on your handheld PC .
2.Connect the 9-pin end of the auto-sync cable to the serial
connector on your computer . (Some computers may require a 9-to-25 pin adapter in order to connect the auto-sync cable).
Connecting the Handheld PC to a Computer
NOTE: The first time you connect your handheld PC to the computer, the New Partnership Wizard appears on the screen. Follow the instructions to establish a connection between the two devices. The next time you connect, your data will be synchronized automatically, provided that you accept the default settings.
IMPORTANT: Refer to The Handheld PC Companion for more information on establishing a connection and synchronizing data.
2-4 Forming a Partnership
Step 5: Install the Compaq C-Series Software
After connecting to the computer, follow the steps below to install the Compaq software. Some software will be installed on your computer and some on your handheld PC.
1.Insert the Compaq CD into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2.Follow the instructions included with the CD and on the computer screen to install the Compaq software.
IMPORTANT: To avoid draining the batteries, use external power whenever your handheld PC is connected to the computer.

Using the Application Launch Keys
The application launch keys provide a fast and convenient way to get to many of your favorite programs. To start a program, hold down the Fn key and press the number key below the icon for the program you want to start. (For example, press Fn+2 to start Pocket Word.) For instructions on using a program once it’s started, see The Handheld PC Companion or the online Help included with the program.
The following table lists the application launch keys and their corresponding icons and programs.
