SECTION 2: GETTING STARTED

Installing the Software
Insert your SondeCom CD into your drive and run the setup.exe file. This will install the
conduit (the software that synchronizes the data between your PDA and your PC) and will put
the SondeCom.prc file into the install folder of all of the users listed in your sync manager. That
means that all you have to do in order to install the software onto your PDA is run the install
program, then sync your PDA. The program will automatically load onto your PDA.

Setting up the sync manager
Most users will want to leave the sync manager set to the default option: Handheld overwrites
Desktop. This option will copy all sonde files that are on your handheld to your PC when you
perform a sync. However, if you would like to change your settings so that the files will not be
transferred, then you may do so the same way you would for any other PDA software
application.

Right-click the sync icon located on
your program tray (usually on the
lower-right corner of the screen). A
menu will pop up like the one you
see in the screen shot to the left.
From that menu, select custom.








Your sync manager
application will launch and
all of the conduits for your
PDA will be listed;
SondeCom will be one of
them. If you would like to
change the action, then click
on SondeCom to highlight
it, then select change.
