Installation
The HandHeld is capable of emulating it’s own storage media as a removable disk for a Windows PC. This
is done using the Mass Storage device class defined by the USB implementers forum and the matching
driver supplied by Microsoft in Windows ME and 2000. Mass Storage is by default not supported under
Windows 95, Windows 98 (SE)* or Windows NT. Windows ME or 2000 will recognize the HandHeld as a
standard USB disk device but will not recognize the exact type. Therefore you will need to point to the
installation media to install an information file (.inf), supplied on the CD-ROM.
1. Power up the PC. Make sure you are logged in as administrator if you are using Windows 2000.
2. Insert the installation CD-ROM.
3. Power up the HandHeld and set it up in USB mode.
4. Connect it to the PC system using either the special HandHeld USB cable or the Docking Station
(supplied) standard USB cable.
5. The “Add New Hardware Wizard” will appear. Select “Automatic search”, select next or point the
wizard manually to the WinME / Win2000 directory on the CD-ROM and click next. Windows will
read the file and finishes the installation.
Important!:
This installation procedure only needs to be executed once, since your HandHeld will now be recognized
by Windows.
Operation
USB is part of the windows operating system and you do not need special software to connect the
HandHeld to the PC. If you install the driver once (see above) the HandHeld will be recognized as an
external removable disk. By using windows explorer you can access the items on the HandHeld Compact
Flash Disk. All commands valid for the explorer are also valid for the HandHeld, among them are CUT,
COPY, RENAME, PROPERTIES, SEND and OPEN. Besides the explorer it is also possible to access files
via the file open menu option in all programs that are capable of reading MPEG files, for example windows
media player. The PLAY and RECORD commands do not represent a playback or record on the HandHeld
but a playback or record on the audio board of the PC with the HandHeld as storage media.
To connect:
1. Power up the PC.
2. Power up the HandHeld and set it up in USB mode.
3. Connect it to the PC system using either the special HandHeld USB cable or the Docking Station
supplied standard USB cable.
4. Use windows explorer to check if the HandHeld is recognized by windows. The system will show up
in the disk map as a removable disk.
5. The System is now ready for use.
