3.0 How -to:

3.1 Main Screen

Figure 1 shows the main screen that will appear on your Palm™ when the program is
running.

The first time you run ComCenter, you will be greeted with the QuickTips screen. It
shows helpful tips on how to use ComCenter. If you wish to prevent QuickTips from
appearing each time you run ComCenter, check the Don’t Show box.

ComCenter will search for a valid Motorola phone when first started. When the phone
is connected to the Palm™ via the appropriate cable, and powered on, the phone will

display Motorola [GSM/CDMA/TDMA]. If the phone is not connected or powered on,
ComCenter will display No Device Found.

After ComCenter finds a valid phone, it will automatically create a Connection profile
(“Motorola P2K phone”) and a Network profile (“MotorolaNet”). If you change phones,
ComCenter will automatically detect this, and make updates as necessary to the
Connection profile. In order to make a data call for the first time, you will need to
configure the Network Profile for your Internet Service Provider (See section 3.6.2).
