The TerraSync software requires at least 8 MB of free memory to install. If you are installing to a secondary internal storage location, such as the TSCe data collector's storage card, TerraSync also requires at least 10 MB of free memory in that location. Most of this 10 MB is used only while installing and becomes available once installation is successfully completed. WARNING The installation program cannot determine how much memory is available in the secondary storage location. You must ensure that 10 MB is free before you begin installation. If memory space on the device is insufficient, this message appears during installation: Click Cancel, remove any unwanted programs or data files from your CE device, and/or increase storage memory (see Changing Memory Allocation on a CE Device). Then start the installation again. More. . . TerraSync Release Notes Installation on a CE Device 27 If memory space in the secondary internal storage location is insufficient, the installation may appear to complete successfully, but error messages may appear when you try to run the TerraSync software. If this happens, make more space available in the secondary storage location, then install the software again. For information on performing a full hard reset, refer to the Trimble website. NOTE Trimble recommends that you uninstall any previously installed versions of the TerraSync software and transfer any TerraSync data files to your office computer before installing the latest version. You can use any of the following methods: · · serial cable infrared · · cradle modem · · USB network card For information on connecting your CE device to another computer, refer to the documentation for your CE device. If an ActiveSync partnership for these two computers exists, ActiveSync starts and the office computer connects to the CE device automatically. More. . . TerraSync Release Notes Installation on a CE Device 28 NOTE ActiveSync cannot connect to a CE device that is communicating with a GPS receiver on the same port. If you are upgrading or reinstalling the TerraSync software, make sure you disconnect from GPS and exit the software. If there is no partnership, or the computers do not connect, you may need to install or set up ActiveSync on your office computer. When the two computers are connected, the Microsoft ActiveSync window appears and displays the message Connected: More. . . TerraSync Release Notes Installation on a CE Device 29 TIP If ActiveSync is installed, but the two computers do not connect, check that the CE device is set up to establish a PC connection. For information on how to do this, refer to the documentation for your CE device. Select the PC Connection tab and check that the Allow connection with desktop computer when device is attached check box is selected. You should also ensure that the CE device is configured to connect at the maximum baud rate available. TIP 3. Make sure the TerraSync software is not running on the CE device. More. . .

TerraSync Release Notes Cabling 52 WARNING Using COM port cabling that supplies power to the CE device can cause problems with, or even permanent damage to, the CE device. Some GPS receivers supply power, and some cables transfer power through one or more of their pins. Trimble strongly recommends that you protect your CE device by connecting either the null modem adapter (P/N 43197) or the curly straight-through cable (P/N 45052) to the receiver cable. These two connectors do not supply power, so they will protect your CE device from power output by the receiver. If a powered connection is acceptable or necessary, you can connect directly to the receiver, or you can use the curly straight-through cable P/N 30236 instead of cable P/N 45052. [. . . ]
