Downloading and Installing the PC Software

We highly recommend downloading the 14–day
free trial version of the CompanionLink
software by going to
www.companionlink.com/downloads/.
This will allow you to test out the software
before you buy it. At publishing time, pricing
for CompanionLink for Outlook was $39.95.
The Free Evaluation Software page asks for your email, the product, and which PC
software you want to sync with as well as what type of phone you use.
TIP: Video Tutorials on CompanionLink's Website
Visit www.companionlink.com/support for some good technical support information as well as
some great video tutorials explaining how to setup their software.
1. Double-click the downloaded file to get the installation started.
2. Once you have installed the
software, click your Windows logo
in the lower left corner and select All
Programs. Scroll down to
Companion Link and click on
Companion Link Setup as shown
to the right.
3. You should see a settings screen similar to the one shown in Figure 4–4. Click
the drop-down menu that says (Select your sync target) to choose one of the
Android options.
Android (CL Secure Hosted Sync) — This will sync your data via the
Companion Link secure server then to your DROID.
Android direct via USB — This will sync from your PC through the
USB cable directly to your DROID. If you choose this option, you need
to install the DejaOffice app on your DROID.
Android via Google — This will sync your data from your PC to your
Google Account. Then you use the setup process in Chapter 3 to
setup the sync from Google to your DROID.
