Palm Pilot Communication Issues
Difficulties copying a file to a Palm Pilot when using several Palms with the same PC.
1. Transfer a firmware to a Palm
a. Click on the mouse right-
button over the file in an
Explorer window. Then select
“Send To”… and “Palm Quick
Install”. See the picture below.
b. Or… double-click on the
firmware received in an email.
2) Usually a window will pop up
to confirm the addition of this file
to the list of files to be
transferred to a Palm.
Verify the “User” in this
window. Two or more
“User”s may be
configured to the PC.
How to verify how
much memory is left
on a Palm Pilot.
1) Power up the Palm.
With the plastic pen,
press on the Home
icon on the lower left
side of the screen to
see the time of day on
the upper left. 2) Press
on the time of day, a
menu should pop up,
press on <Info…> in this menu. A page will show how much free memory is available on the Palm.
Example;
1.1M means 1.1 megabytes, equates to 1100 Kb
(Kilobytes). Each GS550 firmware uses more than
140Kb of memory. If there is not enough memory left,
verify if some applications or datalogger files could be
removed.
Note: A firmware with crane capacity charts may
require more memory.
What to do if the palm doesn’t respond.
If the Palm doesn’t appear to respond to commands, or
if problems occurr during a transfer operation, the Palm
can be reset by pressing the reset button on the back. All applications will then restart; data should
not be lost.
Example of having two usernames on
the same PC. One is “LSI” and the
other one is “lsi”. This could be really
confusing and must be verified if you
have problems copying to your Palm
Pilot.
How to free up memory
1) Power up the Palm. With the plastic
pen, press on the Home icon on the
lower left side of the screen until an
icon called “LS420 Download” is
visible.
2) Press on the LS420Download icon. A
list of available files will be displayed.
3) Press on the file to be deleted
4) Press on the delete button
5) The system will ask confirmation
before deletin
