Quick Start Steps
Getting Started Using Your PAC Mate

*The minimum e-mail client is Outlook 2000. Outlook 2002 is included on 
the PAC Mate Companion CD. If you have Outlook 2000 or 2002 on your 
computer, jump to step 1. If not, please install Outlook before proceeding with 
these steps. 

1. 	Plug in the PAC Mate using the AC adaptor.
2. 	Put the PAC Mate Companion CD in your CD drive and follow the 
	instructions to install ActiveSync on your PC.
3.	When you are prompted, turn on and connect the PAC Mate to the 
	PC using the USB cable. Once you do this, ActiveSync should 
	automatically detect your PAC Mate and ask you to establish a 
	partnership. Select either standard or guest partnership.
 
Follow these steps if your PAC Mate is not automatically detected and the 
Add New Hardware Wizard appears on your PC: (This may be necessary 
for Windows 98 and ME systems.)
              	
1.	Remove the Companion CD and put the Documentation CD in your 
	CD drive.
2.	Be sure to choose the option that lets Windows automatically 
	search for the new driver. Windows will then find and install this 
	new driver.
3.	Once the new hardware is detected, ActiveSync will prompt you to 
	establish a partnership. Select either standard or guest partnership.

Buttons and Keys
The BX400 has eight function keys, or buttons, that provide quick access to 
frequently used features. The eight function keys from left to right are: F7, F3, F2, 
F1, F4, F5, F6, and F8.

	F1 is the Close/Esc button.
	F2 opens the menu for the current application. 
	F3 opens FSCalc.
	F4 gives instant access to the Start Menu. 
     	 F5 lists recent application. 
     	 F6 opens FSEdit
     	 F7 opens Stopwatch
     	 F8 opens File Explorer

There also is 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.
