Quick Start Steps
Getting Started Using Your PAC Mate

*The minimum e-mail client is Outlook 2000, which you can install 
  from the PAC Mate Companion CD. If you have this version or Outlook 2002,
  jump to step 1. 

	1. 	Plug in the PAC Mate using the wall adaptor.
	2. 	Put the PAC Mate Companion CD in your CD drive and install 
             		ActiveSync on your desktop PC.
	3. 	Once ActiveSync is installed, connect the PAC Mate 
             		to the PC using a USB cable.
	4. 	When the Found New Hardware Wizard appears, 
             		let Windows search for a driver for this new device. 
             		Make sure that "Search CD drives" is selected. 
             		Windows will then find and install this new driver.
	5.	ActiveSync will prompt you on your PC to ask if you want 
            		to create a Partnership. Select yes.
	6. 	A wizard walks you through the first synchronization. 
             		Your PAC Mate will now have loaded your e-mail, 
             		tasks, contacts and other information from your PC.

Buttons and Keys
PAC Mate contains four function keys, or buttons, that provide quick access to frequently used features. There are two on each side of the PAC Mate. 

	F1 and F2 are on the left. F3 and F4 are on the right. 
	F1 is the Close/Esc button.
	F2 opens the menu for the current application. 
	F3 gives instant access to the Start Menu. 
	F4 lists recent applications. 

There is also a cursor cross, which behaves as the arrow keys on a PC. 
The SPACEBAR, located below the Braille keypad, is used to create Braille Chord key combinations as well as performing the normal functions of the SPACEBAR on a PC keyboard.
