communication with your Newton PDA, set the communication speed to 9600 bits
per second (bps). You must also set your Newton PDA to communicate at 9600 bps.

Connection on Your Newton PDA,” later in this chapter.

information, see “Changing the Location of the BACKUPS Directory” in Chapter 2.
Preparing your Newton PDA
Before you use the Newton Backup Utility, you need to tell your Newton PDA how
it is connected to the computer.
Note: The instructions in this section apply to Newton PDAs that use the Newton 2.0
operating system. If you have a Newton PDA that uses an earlier version of the
operating system, see the upgrade instructions that came with this utility.
IMPORTANT Make sure you follow the setup instructions on your Newton PDA to
enter your name and other owner information. The computer uses this name when
it creates a backup file. See your Newton PDA handbook to learn how to enter
your name. Also, it’s a good idea to name the storage cards you use with your
Newton PDA.
