SYNC
“Syncing” is the process of connecting your SkillStarter™ Notebook to your computer.
It exchanges and updates information between your SkillStarter™ Notebook and your
personal computer. Changes you make on your SkillStarter™ Notebook or your PC will
appear in both places after the Sync process. For example, if you changed records in
your SkillStarter™ Notebook, after Sync, the changes will be updated on the related
files in your computer. Similarly, if there are files that have been changed in your computer,
Sync will update the related files in your SkillStarter™ Notebook.
To enhance your SkillStarter™ Notebook with this Sync function, an accessory VTech®
vPort™ (sold separately) is needed. The vPort™ is an electronic device, which offers
Infrared wireless communication between your SkillStarter™ Notebook (or any selected
VTech® learning unit) and your PC. In the vPort™ package, there is a CD-ROM with
Desktop Software inside. To perform a Sync, the SkillStarter™ Notebook Desktop
Software must be installed.
