Sync
“Syncing” is the process of connecting your ClassMaster™ Notebook to your computer.
It exchanges and updates information between your ClassMaster™ Notebook and your
personal computer. Changes you make on your ClassMaster™ Notebook or your PC
will appear in both places after the Sync process. For example, if you changed records in
your ClassMaster™ 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 ClassMaster™ Notebook
To enhance ClassMaster™ Notebook with this Sync function, an accessory VTech vPort
is needed. The vPort is an electronic device which offers Infrared wireless communication
between your ClassMaster™ Notebook (or any selected VTech learning unit) and your
PC. In the vPort package, there is a CD ROM with the Desktop Software inside. And to
perform a Sync, the Desktop Software must be installed.
With everything ready, the following applications can be synchronized during a Sync
session.
Class Schedule Dictionary
Address Book Calendar
Memo Pad To Do List
Netlink Encyclopedia
Besides, you can download new activities or data from our VTech website (www.vport.com)
to your ClassMaster™ Notebook with the Desktop Software (internet access is required).
