S. A. Revision Notice This is the February 2003 release (Revision A) of the TerraSync Release Notes, part number 43161-23-ENG. Copyright and Trademarks © 2000­2003 Trimble Navigation Limited. For STL support, the TerraSync software uses the Moscow Center for SPARC Technology adaptation of the SGI Standard Template Library. [. . . ] To avoid data loss, the installation program automatically backs up the main memory immediately after installing TerraSync. 16 TerraSync Release Notes Installing a translation of TerraSync on a CE device 1. 4. 2 The TerraSync software is available in several languages. Language files for translated installations are not supplied on the TerraSync Software & Operation Guide CD; they must be downloaded from the Trimble website. The TerraSync setup program uses the TerraSync Updater utility to automatically download and install language files. Trimble recommends that you only install a TerraSync translation on a CE device that has the corresponding language version of the operating system installed. For example, install Japanese TerraSync on a CE device that has Japanese Windows CE installed. System commands (such as the OK and Cancel buttons) are generated by the operating system, so they appear in the language of the operating system on the CE device. If you use TerraSync on a CE device that does not have the corresponding translation of the operating system installed, system commands are not translated. For best results, make sure that the TerraSync and operating system languages match. If they do not, install any font that is supplied with TerraSync for that language. For more information, see Installing fonts on a CE device, page 19. B Tip ­ If you see squares or unusual characters instead of characters from the appropriate language, you need to install a font. Note ­ The Regional Options applet in the Control Panel only changes the display of date, time, units, and currency information. It does not change the language of the field computer's operating system. TerraSync Release Notes 17 To install a translation of TerraSync on a CE device: 1. Use the TerraSync Updater utility to download and install the appropriate language file. The Updater utility is available: ­ as part of the English TerraSync installation. When the TerraSync Updater step appears towards the end of the installation, select the Check for updates now option.

This can cause software errors on the CE device. Tip ­ The Trimble GPS Pathfinder font is installed automatically when you install TerraSync. This font includes symbols that you can use to represent point features on the map. If you want to use other symbol fonts for point features, install the additional fonts manually. To install a TerraSync language font on a CE device: 1. For more information, see Installing the TerraSync software on a CE device, page 11. Run the TerraSync setup program from the TerraSync Software & Operation Guide CD. 6. TerraSync Release Notes 19 7. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the font. C Warning ­ TerraSync fonts should always be installed to RAM (main memory). Do not install fonts to a secondary internal storage location (such as a GeoExplorer CE handheld's Disk or a TDS Ranger's Disk), or to a removable storage device. 8. When the installation is complete, perform a soft reset of the CE device. [. . . ] The SAPOS VRS service in Germany provides a single base solution, not a network VRS solution. The AT command set is a standard language for communicating with modems. To establish a dial-up connection with a VRS provider using some cellphones (such as some Nokia models), you may need to send AT commands from the field computer to put the cellphone into ISDN mode. To configure the cellphone, connect it to a computer that is running a desktop Windows operating system. [. . . ]
