Chapter 2: SmartPad Setup This chapter explains how to set up your SmartPad, and how to install the software on both your desktop PC and your Palm OS-based organizer. Battery Installation Your SmartPad is supplied with 2 (two) AAA batteries. These batteries must be installed before you can use SmartPad. To install the batteries: 1. Remove the 2 (two) AAA batteries from the SmartPad package. 2. Remove the batteries from their protective wrapper. 3.
4. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Note the polarity of the batteries: the positive end (+) of both batteries should point down toward the lower edge of the SmartPad portfolio, as shown: Install Batteries Battery Compartment 5. Replace the battery cover, and slide it into place. When you have replaced it correctly, the battery cover “clicks” into position. Battery installation is complete, and you are ready to install the SmartPad desktop software on your desktop PC.
2. Load the SmartPad Software CD-ROM into your Windows PC. The Setup program should start automatically. If it does not, refer to the Quick Start Guide (supplied with SmartPad). 3.

Click Yes to continue. 8. The Choose Ink Location screen appears. This defines the directory where the “Ink Note” files will be stored (when transferred from your Palm handheld). The default location for the Ink Note data is c:\SmartData, and is recommended.
choosing the applications that will be installed on your Palm handheld. This option is useful when installing the SmartPad software onto a Palm handheld with limited memory, or if you will only use SmartPad with one or two applications on your Palm handheld. By default, all applications are selected for installation, as shown: Click Next to continue. 12.
The PadFire application is included on a 30-day evaluation basis. If you want to use PadFire after this 30-day period, you must register the software with Seiko Instruments. Complete information about how to register the PadFire software appears at http://www.seikosmart.com. 13. A prompt appears, showing the memory space required for the software installation on your Palm handheld, as shown: If you do not have this much space available on your Palm handheld, click No to return to step #11.

For example, if you are using the SmartPad version of the Memo application (eMemo), and someone attempts to “beam” their business card when running the Memo application, the transfer may not complete successfully. In this case, switch to a different SmartPad application, such as eAddress. Once you have reassigned the front panel buttons (as described in the following procedure), simply press a different front panel button to switch to a different application.
9. Tap the menu next to the Memo Pad icon. From the list of applications that appears, tap to choose eMemo. 10.

Attach Strip Attach Strip You may need to position the strips so they do not cover the battery compartment (or other features) on the back panel of your Palm OS-based organizer. 5. When you have positioned the strips, place your Palm OS-based organizer into the SmartPad portfolio so the hook-and-loop strips are firmly connected. 6.
Palm OS-based organizer placed in SmartPad portfolio Note: For best operation, your Palm OS-based organizer should be centered in the area provided for the organizer, and should be vertically-aligned with the edges of your SmartPad portfolio. This procedure is complete. The hook-and-loop fastener on the back of your Palm OS-based organizer enables you to remove it at any time, and use it separately from the SmartPad portfolio.
To reposition SmartPad’s infrared transceiver: 1. Open the SmartPad portfolio, and remove your Palm OS-based organizer (if it is in place in the portfolio). 2.

You want the infrared arm to be seated firmly and securely into the SmartPad portfolio. 5. Replace the round cap to secure the arm of the infrared transceiver. 6. Replace your Palm OS-based organizer. The infrared port of your Palm OSbased organizer should be approximately inline with the infrared transceiver. This procedure is complete.

n Try replacing the battery in the SmartPad pen. The SmartPad pen contains one AAAA battery. SmartPad works fine, but battery consumption is an issue. The batteries don’t seem to last very long in my Palm OS-based organizer. n SmartPad is designed for taking notes. After a period of inactivity, the screen of your Palm OS-based organizer will go blank to conserve energy, but your Palm OS-based organizer is still running, and ready to take notes with the SmartPad.
n Make sure that the SmartPad desktop software is looking in the correct directory for the Ink Note files. The default directory is c:\SmartData. In the SmartPad desktop software, choose Open from the File menu, and then navigate to the c:\smartdata directory. I’m having trouble printing my Ink Note files. n The SmartPad desktop software is designed to work with any printer that is compatible with your PC.
