PalmConnect®USB Kit enables you to connect your Palm Computing®platform handheld to a USB port on a Macintosh or PC. The kit includes a USB to serial port adapter and a CD-ROM with USB drivers for both the Macintosh and PC and Palm™ Desktop software for Macintosh. Follow the installation instructions in this guide for best results.

System requirements

• Palm Computing platform handheld

• Apple Macintosh or compatible computer with a Power PC processor and USB port, running MacOS 8.5.1 or

• IBM-compatible 486 PC or higher with USB port, running Windows 98 and Palm Desktop 3.0 or later

Introduction

PalmConnect®USB software includes Palm™ Desktop software to help you organize your addresses, appointments, tasks, and notes. It also contains HotSync®Manager software that transfers data between your Macintosh and your handheld.

Turn on your Macintosh.

Install the Palm Desktop software. Note: If you have a previous version of Palm Desktop software installed, it is

important that you install this version from the CD-ROM. If you are using other organizer software instead of Palm Desktop software, you still need to complete this process to install HotSync Manager.

• Insert the PalmConnect USB CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive, then double-click the Palm™ Desktop Installer icon.

• Follow the onscreen instructions. The installer prompts you to do the following:

– Enter a user name. (If you have already performed a HotSync operation,

select the same name.) – Select PalmConnect USB from the Port list. – Reboot your Macintosh when the installation is done.

Make the connection.

• Connect the USB to serial port adapter to your cradle connector (or HotSync Cable).

Macintosh troubleshooting tips

How can I update my Macintosh to the latest MacOS?

Go to the Apple web site http://www.apple.com. This web site contains instructions for updating to the latest release of the MacOS.

Why can’t I perform a HotSync®operation after I plug in my USB to serial port adapter?

The serial port settings need to be adjusted. To correct this problem, follow these steps:

1. Check the USB to serial port adapter connections.

2. Launch HotSync Manager.

3. Disable HotSync Manager.

4. Click the Serial Port Settings tab.

5. Under Local Setup, select PalmConnect USB from the Port list.

6. Click the HotSync Controls tab and select Enabled.

7. Try performing a HotSync operation.

Why does an error message appear when I remove the USB to serial port adapter and reboot my Macintosh?

HotSync Manager does not support all USB plug and play features. If you temporarily disconnect the USB to serial port adapter, the following error message appears: “HotSync Manager has been disabled because the USB cable is not plugged into your Macintosh. Please reconnect the cable to the USB port before enabling HotSync Manager.” To proceed, simply click OK in the message box. To prevent this error message from appearing during reboot, launch HotSync Manager, choose Setup, disable HotSync Manager, and then disconnect the USB to serial port cable. Future versions of HotSync Manager will eliminate this error message.

Note: For additional troubleshooting tips, see the readme file for Palm™ Desktop

software.

PC installation instructions

Turn on your computer.

Install the Palm™ Desktop software. Note: You must install the Palm™ Desktop software before you install the

PalmConnect®USB software. Even if you are using Microsoft Outlook or other organizer software instead of Palm Desktop software, you still need to complete this process to install HotSync®Manager.

Important! Make sure the PalmConnect USB to serial port adapter is NOT connected to your PC. Wait until you are instructed to connect it in step 4.

• If Palm Desktop 3.0 or later is already installed on your PC, skip to step 3.

• Insert the Palm Desktop CD-ROM that came with your handheld and follow the onscreen instructions.

Note: The installer will prompt you to connect the cradle to the serial port on your

PC and choose a Com port. These steps are optional since the PalmConnect USB to serial port adapter and software use a USB port.

Insert the PalmConnect USB CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on your PC.

Make the connection.

• Connect the USB to serial port adapter to your cradle connector (or HotSync Cable).

• Connect the USB to serial port adapter to the USB port on your PC.

Note: The AC adapter is only

required for Palm V™ organizer users.

PC troubleshooting tips

The USB installer software didn’t launch after I connected the USB to serial port adapter; what do I do?

Some PC manufacturers do not enable the USB feature in the system BIOS. Consult your computer’s manual or contact the PC manufacturer to determine how to access the BIOS Setup software and enable the USB feature.

Do I need my Windows 98 CD-ROM during the installation process?

If you upgraded from Windows 95 to Windows 98 you may need the Windows 98 CD-ROM during the USB installation process.

Why is my PC hanging when I remove the USB to serial port adapter?

Most likely an older version of HotSync Manager is installed on your PC. To correct this problem, reinstall the PalmConnect®USB software. See the readme file for PalmConnect USB software for instructions.

Note: For additional troubleshooting tips, see the readme file for PalmConnect

USB software.

Install the PalmConnect®USB software.

After you connect the USB to serial port adapter, the installation software launches automatically. Simply follow the onscreen instructions. When prompted to provide the location of the USB driver, select your CD-ROM drive. (The drivers are located on the CD-ROM you inserted in step #3.)

Synchronize your data.

Place your handheld in the cradle and press the HotSync®button.

Congratulations!

You have successfully completed this installation and performed your first HotSync operation using the USB port on your computer.

Limited warranty

HARDWARE: Palm Computing, Inc., a subsidiary of 3Com Corporation (collectively “3Com”), warrants to the original end user (“Customer”) that this product will be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use, for one year from the date of original purchase from 3Com or its authorized reseller. 3Com’s sole obligation under this express warranty shall be, at 3Com’s option and expense, to replace the product or part with a comparable product or part, repair the product or part, or if neither repair nor replacement is reasonably available, 3Com may, in its sole discretion, refund to Customer the purchase price paid for the product or part. Replacement products or parts may be new or reconditioned. 3Com warrants any replaced or repaired product or part, and any hardware upgrade to which Customer is entitled under an agreement between Customer and 3Com, for a period of ninety (90) days from shipment, or through the end of the original warranty, whichever is longer. All products or parts that are replaced become the property of 3Com.

Accessory products, as listed in the applicable 3Com catalogue, are not covered under this Limited Warranty except for the modem for the connected organizer, the cradles, cables, memory upgrades, and leather items sold under the 3Com

brand. 3Com shall not be responsible for Customer’s software, firmware, information, or memory data contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to 3Com for repair, whether under warranty or not.

SOFTWARE: 3Com warrants to Customer that the Palm™ Desktop organizer software and Palm OS™ software licensed from it will perform in substantial conformance to their program specifications, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of original purchase from 3Com or its authorized reseller. 3Com warrants the media containing software against failure during the warranty period. No updates are provided. 3Com does not provide any warranty for Adobe

Acrobat®Reader or any other third-party applications software that is licensed to Customer by the third party. 3Com’s sole obligation with respect to this express warranty shall be (at 3Com’s discretion) to refund the purchase price paid by Customer for any defective software product, or to replace any defective media with software which substantially conforms to applicable 3Com published specifications. 3Com makes no warranty or representation that its software products will meet Customer’s requirements or will work in combination with any hardware or applications software products provided by third parties, that the operation of the software products will be uninterrupted or error free, or that all defects in the software products will be corrected.

YEAR 2000 WARRANTY: In addition to the Hardware Warranty and Software Warranty stated above, 3Com warrants that the following datedata sensitive Palm Computing

products, namely the Pilot 1000, Pilot 5000, PalmPilot™ Personal Edition, PalmPilot Professional Edition, Palm III™, Palm IIIx™, Palm V™, and Palm VII™ connected organizers, as well as all other 3Com products based on the Palm Computing platform software as of July 1, 1998 and later, including the companion desktop software for Microsoft®Windows®and MAC OS™ platforms, will continue performing properly with regard to such date-data on and after January 1, 2000, provided that all other products used by Customer in connection or combination with the Palm Computing product, including hardware, software, and firmware, accurately exchange date-data with the Palm Computing product. 3Com makes no certification regarding the Year 2000 status of any other Palm Computing products.

Any Palm Computing platform application supplied by 3Com that makes correct use of Palm Computing platform date and time functions will not have a problem transitioning to the year 2000. The date and time utilities for the Palm Computing platform use 32 bits to store seconds, starting at January 1, 1904. This approach allows the correct representation of dates through February 5, 2040. The Date Book software currently displays dates through December 31, 2031. Provided the product is still being sold by 3Com, 3Com will make software enhancements to remove these limitations well in advance of these dates.

If it appears that any Palm Computing product does not perform properly with regard to such date-data on and after January 1, 2000, and Customer notifies Palm Computing before the later of April 1, 2000, or ninety (90) days after original purchase of the product from 3Com or its authorized reseller, 3Com shall, at its option and expense, provide a software update which would effect the proper performance of the product, repair the product, deliver to Customer an equivalent product to replace the product, or, if none of the foregoing is feasible, refund to Customer the purchase price paid for the product.

Any software update or replaced or repaired Palm Computing product will carry a Year 2000 Limited Warranty for ninety (90) days after purchase or until April 1, 2000, whichever is later.

Customers using date and time utilities other than those supplied by Palm Computing should check with the developer to determine if the software will correctly handle all of the subtle issues of date and time conversion.

OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE: Customer must contact a Palm Computing, Inc. or 3Com Technical Support or Customer Service center within the applicable warranty period to obtain warranty service authorization. Dated proof of original purchase from 3Com or its authorized reseller will be required. 3Com is not responsible for Customer products or parts received without a warranty service authorization. In the United States, 3Com may ship a replacement product or part prior to receiving the original product or part (“advance exchange”). If advance exchange is not available, then the repaired product or part will be shipped as soon as reasonably possible, which will be no later than thirty (30) days after 3Com receives the original product or part. Repaired or replacement products will be shipped to Customer at 3Com’s expense. The repair and replacement process for products or parts in locations outside of the United States will vary depending on Customer’s location. Products or parts shipped by Customer to 3Com must be sent prepaid and packaged appropriately for safe shipment, and it is recommended that they be insured or sent by a method that provides for tracking of the package. When an advance exchange is provided and Customer fails to return the original product or part to 3Com within thirty (30) days from the date the warranty service authorization is issued, 3Com will charge Customer the then-current published catalogue price of such product or part.

Tips für die Fehlerbehebung auf dem Macintosh

Wie aktualisiere ich meinen Macintosh mit der neuesten MacOS?

Gehen Sie zur Apple Website unter http://www.apple.com. Hier finden Sie Hinweise zur Aktualisierung mit der neuesten MacOS-Version.

Warum kann ich nach dem Einstecken meines Anschlußadapters (USB/seriell) keinen HotSync®-Vorgang durchführen?

Die Einstellungen des seriellen Anschlusses müssen geändert werden. Führen Sie dazu die folgenden Schritte aus:

1. Überprüfen Sie die Verbindungen des Anschlußadapters.

2. Starten Sie den HotSync Manager.

3. Deaktivieren Sie den HotSync Manager.

4. Klicken Sie auf die Registerkarte „Serial Port Settings“.

5. Wählen Sie in „Local Setup“ „PalmConnect USB“ in der Liste der Anschlüsse.

6. Klicken Sie auf die Registerkarte „HotSync Controls“, und wählen Sie „Enabled“.

7. Versuchen Sie, einen HotSync-Vorgang durchzuführen.

Warum erhalte ich eine Fehlermeldung, wenn ich den Anschlußadapter entferne und den Macintosh neu starte?

Der HotSync Manager unterstützt nicht alle USB-Plug & Play-Funktionen. Ist die Verbindung zum Anschlußadapter zeitweise unterbrochen, erhalten Sie folgende Fehlermeldung: „HotSync Manager has been disabled because the USB cable is not plugged into your Macintosh. Please reconnect the cable to the USB port before enabling HotSync Manager.“ Klicken Sie zum Fortfahren auf „OK“. Um zu verhindern, daß diese Meldung während des Neustarts erneut angezeigt wird, starten Sie HotSync Manager, wählen Sie „Setup“, deaktivieren Sie HotSync Manager, und ziehen Sie anschließend das Adapterkabel heraus. In künftigen HotSync Manager-Versionen erscheint diese Fehlermeldung nicht mehr.

Hinweis: Weitere Tips zur Fehlerbehebung finden Sie in der Readme-Datei der

Palm™ Desktop-Software.
