Note
• Different minimum system requirements are required when using the applications
included on the CASSIOPEIA Applications CD-ROM. See the documentation
contained on the CD-ROM for full details.
• The cradle that comes with your CASSIOPEIA is designed for USB connection only.
If your computer does not have a USB port, you will need to purchase the separate
serial connection cradle (JK-512CR) or the serial connection cable (JK-580CA),
which allows direct connection between the CASSIOPEIA and your computer's serial
port.
Important
• When installing ActiveSync on a computer, check to make sure that the specified
COM port number correctly indicates the serial port to which the cradle is connected.
• Some laptop and sub-compact computers with built-in infrared ports and modems are
initially configured so the COM port is not always used as a serial port. In such a
case, you must change the setting so the COM port is always used as a serial port.
See the documentation that comes with your computer for full details on COM port
numbers and settings.
