You can use the PC connectivity software PsiWin 2 to integrate
the netBook with PCs running Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0. By
connecting the netBook to a PC with a Docking cable and
running PsiWin, you can:
• View your netBook files from Windows Explorer by using
the ‘My Psion’ icon which is added to the PC ’s Desktop.
The ‘My Psion’ icon gives you access to all of PsiWin’s
powerful file management facilities for your netBook files.
• Upgrade from an earlier model of Psion handheld
computer to a netBook as a one-stop process. All your
files will be copied from your old Psion (Series 3/3a/3c/3mx
or Siena), converted to the netBook file formats on the PC,
then copied to your netBook.
• Drag and drop files between the netBook and the PC in
the same way that you would between PC drives, and they
will be automatically converted to the appropriate file
format at the same time.
• Synchronize Agenda files and your address book on
the netBook with PC agendas (applications) and contact
managers to keep them in step with each other.
• Back up your netBook files to the PC, then restore them
from the PC to the netBook again should you ever need to.
• Print files on your netBook to a printer connected directly
to your PC, or available to your PC via a network.

This manual gives an overview of all the netBook functions and
features to give you an idea of what you can do; for more
detailed information than is given here, refer to the netBook and
PsiWin on-line help.
• Read the first part of this chapter to find out how to get the
netBook ready for use: fit the batteries, switch on, adjust
the screen, find and practice with the pen and start using
the software.
• Read ‘Things to do first!’ to find out the essential things to
do when you first get your netBook - this covers setting the
time and date, setting your “home city” (so that the time
differences from your home are calculated correctly) and
setting owner information and a machine password.
• Move on to ‘ Things to do next!’ for a list of the programs
and a brief overview of what else you may want to do when
you first use your netBook - instructions for using PsiWin to
connect to your PC and perform backups and more ideas
for customising your netBook.
• Read the ‘Files, folders and programs’ chapter for more
information about how to enter and manage the information
on your netBook.
