[. . . ] Respond to any messages that appear: ­ If a message appears on the CE device stating that TerraSync is already installed, and asking if you want to reinstall TerraSync, tap Yes. If the message Confirm ignore missing file appears on the CE device, tap Yes to All. If the message Install "Trimble TerraSync" to \Disk\Trimble TerraSync\ ?appears on the CE device, tap OK. ­ ­ Note ­ On some CE devices, such as the Trimble Recon handheld, the message Adding information for "Remove Programs" may remain on the screen for several minutes. While this message is displayed, do not cancel the installation or reset the CE device. When the installation procedure is complete, perform a soft reset on the CE device. Note ­ When you install TerraSync on a GeoExplorer CE series handheld, some settings are stored in the main memory (RAM), even though TerraSync is always installed to the Disk. To avoid data loss, the installation program automatically backs up the main memory immediately after installing TerraSync. 18 TerraSync Release Notes Installing a translation of TerraSync on a CE device 1. 5. 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 21. 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 19 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. Go to www. trimble. com/support. html, and then click TerraSync / Downloads / v2. 40 Software / TerraSync Updater Utility (English). ­ ­ 3. If necessary, install the appropriate font (see page 21). 20 TerraSync Release Notes Installing fonts on a CE device 1. 5. 3 You must install a TerraSync language font if both of the following are true: · You have installed TerraSync in one of the following languages: ­ ­ ­ · Chinese Japanese Korean The language version of the operating system does not match the TerraSync language (for example, if you have installed Japanese TerraSync onto an English CE device) C B Warning ­ Do not install the Japanese font on a CE device with the Japanese version of Windows CE installed. [. . . ] To configure the cellphone, connect it to a computer that is running a desktop Windows operating system. Some cellphones do not disconnect the dial-up connection to a VRS server when TerraSync sends a disconnect command. To ensure that a dial-up connection is ended, disconnect from the VRS server in TerraSync, and then end the call on the cellphone as well. · · Restoring fonts · 1. 8. 5 After you perform a hard reset on a CE device that has a RAM backup feature (for example, a GeoExplorer CE series handheld or a GIS TSCe field device), fonts that you have installed may not be available. To make the fonts available, perform a soft reset.
