Welcome to Covers Wireless
Requirements
Windows®-based Desktops/Notebooks
The desktop installer application contains the PocketPC® software for Covers Wireless. Before installation, you will
need to read agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA) and the privacy policy for Covers Wireless, which
relates to the Phantom Fiber Wireless Framework (“the Software”). The size of the Windows®-based desktop installer
application is approximately 2.89mb.
System Requirements for Desktop Installer Application:
• Desktop/notebook PC running Windows XP, 95/98/2000/ME/NT 4.0
• 32mb free ram (64mb recommended, required for Windows 2000)
• Video resolution 640x480 and 256 colors (800x600 recommended)
• One available USB port (USB Universal Cradle) or one open serial port (Hot-Sync Serial Cradle) for
PocketPC®-based devices. Please refer to the device manufacturer for details.
• 56k or high-speed internet for synchronization (initial ‘hot-sync’/ updates for offline viewing OR software
upgrade)
PalmOS®-based Devices (PalmSource Mobile Platform)
Once the installation of the Covers Wireless PC software is complete, a manual hot-sync will be required between the
PalmOS® device and desktop/notebook PC while connected by cradle/cable (serial/USB). The synchronization installs
component software for Covers Wireless on the mobile device.
A subsequent hot-sync between the PalmOS®
device and desktop/notebook PC will be required to install the Covers Wireless database (see screenshot
below) so that future offline viewing can occur
. For instructions on synchronization, please refer to the PalmOS®
device manual or manufacturer website. The filesize for the additional installation to the PalmOS®-based device is
400k.

The end user is alerted to perform an additional (manual) hot-sync to transfer the Covers Wireless database to allow
future data to be stored for offline viewing.
