CHAPTER 2 - WORKING WITH YOUR PDA
USING THE AC/DC ADAPTER
Your new Royal PDA is equipped with a rich feature set and large memory for storing data. As with
all PDA’s, which offer this level of performance and large data storage capability, the power
demands are greater than traditional entry-level PDA’s or organizers. For this reason, Royal
includes an AC adapter accessory, which can be the primary power source for your Royal PDA.
Note: Always turn the PDA off before unplugging or plugging in the AC/DC adapter.
USING BATTERIES - PDA WITH BUILT-IN MODEM
Royal’s PDA with a built-in modem comes standard with a sealed rechargeable battery. When this PDA is
being used for the first time you must fully charge the batteries by plugging in the AC adapter for a
minimum of 5 hours before using the PDA.
USING BATTERIES - PDA WITHOUT BUILT-IN MODEM
Royal’s PDA without the built-in modem can run on (2) AAA alkaline batteries. Battery life will vary
depending on usage. Additionally, Royal offers a rechargeable battery pack accessory for the unit. We
strongly suggest you consider purchasing the Royal rechargeable battery pack from your retailer or by
contacting Royal directly at 888-261-4555.
4
Using Rechargeable Batteries
Your Royal PDA unit without built-in modem can only use the Royal rechargeable battery pack that
is sold separately. This battery pack is a sealed, self-contained cartridge. This cartridge replaces
the AAA alkaline cartridge which is factory-installed in your PDA. To use the Royal rechargeable
battery pack, remove the AAA alkaline cartridge and replace it with the Royal rechargeable
cartridge.
Before using the rechargeable battery pack for the first time, you must fully charge the batteries.
Please see the instructions that come with the Royal rechargeable battery pack for charging
requirements.
Before using the rechargeable battery cartridge for the first time, you must charge it for 5 hours..
Note: The unit will not charge any other battery.
AAA Battery Installation And Replacement
To insure the maximum protection of data stored in the PDA, we recommend the following
procedure be followed when replacing the AAA batteries.
1. Turn the PDA off.
2. Plug in the AC adapter to maintain data during battery replacement.
3. Remove the battery cover, located on the back of the unit, by pressing the hinge down and
pulling the battery cover open.
3.
4.
Insert the two new AAA batteries, following the signs inside the battery cartridge compartment.
Carefully place the battery cover in its place and press the cover gently into its location until
cover is locked in position
Note: Always turn the PDA off before unplugging or plugging in the AC/DC adapter.
DO NOT APPLY UNNECCESARY FORCE WHEN REMOVING OR REPLACING THE BATTERY
COVER. THE COVER SHOULD EASILY FIT INTO ITS PLACE IN THE BACK OF THE UNIT.
Note: Do not try to operate or synchronize the PDA with a low battery; this data can be corrupted
or lost.
Note: Battery voltages are constantly monitored. A low battery warning message will show when
the power level gets too low. Replace the AAA batteries or recharge the rechargeable batteries
when this message is displayed.
The data that has been synchronized to the computer can be restored to the PDA by synchronizing
again. For detailed software use instructions, see the “Instruction Files” provided with the
synchronization software.

PC SYNCHRONIZATION
In order to perform PC synchronization, you must first connect the PDA cradle to your PC. To
connect the PDA cradle to your PC, turn off your computer and plug the cradle’s cable into the
serial communication port on the PC. We recommend using AC power while synchronizing.
Note: The PDA requires a dedicated serial port. It cannot share a port with an internal
modem, hand held or any other device. If you are unsure about the exact location of the
serial port on your computer, refer to the user's manual supplied with the computer.
The CD-ROM included with your unit contains two different software synchronization programs.
You do not need to install both programs on your PC. The CD-ROM will automatically show a menu
for you to select the program to meet your needs.
PDA Desktop is a PC Personal Information Manager (PIM) software program that is supplied with
your unit. If you are not already using a PIM program, PDA Desktop will give you the ability to add
and edit contacts, calendar and ToDo information for your PDA.
CompanionLink is the PC software to install if you are using Microsoft Outlook or another PC PIM
compatible with the PDA and you wish to continue using that program with your new PDA.
Installing the Synchronization Software on Your PC
Place the CD-ROM provided with the PDA into your CD drive and follow the instructions on the PC
screen. If the auto-install is disabled on your PC, you will have to manually launch the setup
program provided on the CD-ROM as follows:
1. Tap Start, Run and then Browse.
2. Locate your CD-ROM drive and select the Setup.exe file.
3. Tap OK to run the installation program.
PDA Desktop Synchronization Instructions

APPENDICES
A. UNDERSTANDING EMAIL
Electronic mail is one of the fastest and most powerful ways to share information with people
everywhere and to keep you informed. It has become one of the most widely used and practical
aspects of the internet today.
In order to connect your PDA or PC to the Internet you must make a connection to the Internet
through an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The ISP has local phone numbers that can be dialed by
your PDA and when it connects the PDA can send and receive messages (email).
Messages exchanged on the Internet are handled by three standard protocols:
•
•
•
SMTP (Simple Message Transfer Protocol) which is used for sending messages.
POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) which is used to receive messages.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) which is used for transporting data,
ensuring that information is sent and received correctly between two machines. The TCP/IP
implementation for reaching ISPs in dialup situations is called PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol).
The software in this PDA takes care of working with all three protocols once you input information
that identifies you and your internet address to the internet.
These settings are all taken care of automatically when you set up a Royalnet account.
If you already have Internet access and your PC is using this information, all you need to do is view
it on your PC and copy it into the PDA. If you don’t know what the settings are, contact your ISP to
find out.
B. CONFIGURING FOR ROYALNET EMAIL
Tap: Menu, Email setup, Royalnet
Follow the instructions on the screen to enter your User ID and password.
The PDA will dial the Royalnet 800 number. Once connected, all settings required for email will
automatically be placed into your PDA, including the local numbers you selected with the service
representative. Once it completes the settings, the PDA hangs up and is ready to start sending and
receiving email.
C. CONFIGUREING EMAIL SETTINGS FOR OTHER ISP
To configure the PDA to send and receive email you will need to know the following information:
ISP connection settings:
1. ISP phone number.
2. Your login ID (this may be called your username).
3. Your password.
This information is necessary to connect your PDA to the Internet. You will need additional
information to send and receive email. This information is stored under the heading “Server
Settings.” The additional information you will need is as follows:
1. Your email address and email password.
2. Your POP3 address (the name of your incoming mail server)
3. Your SMTP address (the name of your outgoing mail server).
27
