IrDA Update

IrDA Update 1.00 ================ This update will improve the IrDA connection of the Psion Series 5 specifically for use with the range of Infra-red data enabled mobile phones such as the Ericsson SH888 or Nokia 8810. Please ensure that you have IrDA Update v1.51 or below installed, this patch is not required for Message Suite v1.52 or above. Installing the IrDA Update using a Win 95/NT PC ============================================= You must have PsiWin v2.X installed on your PC and Message Suite 1.51 or lower on your Series 5. Message Suite, PsiWin 2.1 (and above), and other Psion programs now include "EPOC Install" which you can use from your PC to install programs to your Series 5. To check if you already have EPOC Install, right click on the "My Psion" icon on the desktop and note if the "Install New Program" option exists. If it does not, you should first run SETUP.EXE to install the "EPOC install" program. You can now use the "Install New Program" option or double-click on a .SIS file in Windows Explorer to install the update on your Series 5. Installing IrDA Update using other computers ============================================== You must have software installed on your computer to copy files to your Series 5, and a suitable cable to connect your computer to the Series 5. - If you have a Windows 3.xx PC, you can use PsiWin 1.xx. - If you have a Macintosh computer, you can use PsiMac or Psion MacConnect. If you have not installed software to your Series 5 before ---------------------------------------------------------- To install the Add/remove icon to your Series 5's Control panel: 1. Connect the Series 5 and copy the file instexe.exe to the Series 5. It is best to copy the file to the "\" (root) folder. Then, locate the file in the System screen, select it and press Enter to run the file. 2. After a few moments, the file will disappear from view. MacConnect users only: ---------------------- You can install the IrDA Update from the .SIS file using MacConnect's install feature. Select PsiTools from the Psion menu, press the Install button, and navigate to the folder in which you have saved IrDA Update.sis. Select this file and click Open. Follow the on screen instructions to install the IrDA Update on your Series 5. All other users: ---------------- 1. Transfer the IrDA Update.sis file to your Series 5. If the file is on your PC, you should do this using PsiWin 2.x 2. Select the IrDA Update.sis file in the System screen then tap on it again. The installation process will begin. Follow the instructions on screen, making sure that you use the same disk for each IrDA Update component. Note: the IrDA Update.sis file will be deleted once the IrDA Update has been installed. To prevent this, open the 'Add/Remove' section of the Control panel on your Series 5 and tap on 'Prefs', then remove the tick from the 'Delete .SIS installation file?' box. Note that removing the tick from this option means that you will need approximately double the normal recommended amount of disk space free in order to keep both the installed version of the software and the installation file on your machine. Using the Remote Link ===================== You will need to use the Remote link on your Series 5 in order to install programs using EPOC Install. Make sure the link is set to 'Cable', and that the Series 5 is connected to your PC. (c)Psion Computers PLC 1998 v1.00 October 1998
