HANDSPRING UPDATER V1.1 FOR VISOR PLATINUM & VISOR PRISM HANDHELDS

Handspring Updater V1.1 installs a Palm OS software update for all English-language Visor Platinum and Visor Prism handhelds. This update provides the following:

1) Improved Graffiti writing performance on Visor Prism handheld. 

2) Modem HotSync operation capability that was not previously implemented. A modem HotSync operation can be used to perform synchronization remotely. Using your handheld with a communications Springboard module, you can dial into an analog modem that is connected to your PC or Mac and synchronize your data.

3) Fixes Connection method editing. After modifying the default profiles in the Connection section of Preferences, a USB HotSync operation or IR synchronization - which worked previously - would fail. 

This update will not affect data stored on your Visor handheld.


INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

English-language Visor Platinum and Visor Prism handhelds running Palm OS v. 3.5.2H


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1) Double-click the HsExtensions.prc file on your desktop to launch the Palm Install Tool. Select the user name of the handheld on which you would like to install the update. 

2) Perform a HotSync operation. This will install the updater to your handheld. 

3) After the HotSync operation, you should receive a message on your Visor that says "You now need to reset your handheld computer by tapping the button below." Tap the "Reset" button and the update is now installed.

4) To verify that the update is installed, go to the Applications Launcher screen, tap the Menu icon and choose the Info menu. In the Info window, tap the Version box at the bottom. The Palm OS software version at the top will now display "Palm OS Software v. 3.5.2H1". You can further verify the update by scrolling down the data list and looking for "HsExtensions 3.5.2 v. 1.2".

5) Perform another HotSync operation to backup this update to your desktop (note: if you hard reset your Visor, you will lose the update but it will be recovered with the next HotSync operation).
