Important
• If you have a notebook PC with IrDA capabilities or a built-in modem, its COM port may not be set up for
use as a standard serial interface. In such a case, you must change the COM port settings so it can be
used as a standard serial interface. You should also check which COM ports are enabled on a desktop
PC before starting to install Windows CE Services. See the documentation that comes with your PC for
details.
Note: Some of the applications contained on the CASSIOPEIA Bonus Software Applications
CD-ROM may require a system configuration different from that described above. See the
applicable files (ReadMe.txt and other files) that are also provided on the CD-ROM.
