Introduction to the Meazura™
MEZ1000 RDA

(Introduction to the Meazura™ MEZ1000 RDA)
Part I
Introduction to the Meazura™
MEZ1000 RDA
With your
Meazura™ MEZ1000
RDA
, you'll be able to manage meetings and
appointments, remember people's names and personal details, and keep track of all the
items on your To Do List at both work and home.
You'll find it easy to start using the
Meazura™ MEZ1000
RDA
, become familiar with its
physical buttons and controls, and use HotSync® technology to synchronize (exchange
and update) your
Meazura™ MEZ1000
RDA
and
Palm Desktop
. Once you familiarize
yourself with the basic workings of the
Meazura™ MEZ1000
RDA
, you'll easily be able to
do the following:
·
Enter all your schedule details in the Date Book and view them by the day, week, or
month, and even set an alarm to remind you of an important event.
·
Keep all your contact names, addresses, phone numbers, and other details in the
Address Book, so you can find them as soon as you need them.
·
Add your tasks to the To Do List, prioritize them so you don't overlook them, and
assign them a due date.
·
Ensure that you don't lose any of this important information simply by synchronizing
your data with
Palm Desktop
on your computer to create a backup copy.
·
Customize your
RDA
and set different levels of security to prevent unauthorized users
from viewing your data.
System requirements for Windows
To install and operate
Palm Desktop
on Windows, your computer system must meet the
following requirements:
·
Windows® 95 or later
·
IBM-compatible 486 computer or higher
·
8 MB RAM (memory) minimum, 16 MB recommended (required with Windows NT
4.0)
·
20 MB available hard disk space
·
CD-ROM drive (you can also download the
Palm Desktop
software from
http://www.aceeca.com/downloads
)
·
Mouse pointing device
·
One available serial or USB port
Upgrade information
If you already own a Meazura™ MEZ1000 handheld, Aceeca recommends that you
install the version of Palm Desktop that comes with your new Meazura™ MEZ1000 RDA
into the same folder as your current Palm Desktop. All of your data is preserved when
you install the new version in the same folder as the previous version. If you use
another personal information manager (PIM), such as Microsoft Outlook, you still must
install the most recent HotSync Manager and conduit software from the Meazura™
Desktop CD that came with your new RDA.
You can perform HotSync® operations on your new device in exactly the same way as
