6 Every communicator has its own ID that helps PC Suite to identify individual
communicators. If this is the first time you connect your communicator to the
PC, you will be asked to name your communicator to make the identification
easier.
7 Next you will be asked for tasks that you want to perform with your PC Suite.
See 'Backups' on page 8 and 'Up-to-date entries and messages with
synchronisation' on page 15 for details.
Note: If you cannot connect, check that both your communicator and your PC
are switched on and that you have selected the correct communication
port as advised in step 2 above. See also "Attaching the link cable",
"Naming communicators and disks", and "Problems with connection"
online help titles for details.

you open PC Suite and your communicator is not connected, you have the
following options:
• Work online - Connect your communicator to the PC and let PC Suite take care
of the identification.
• Work offline - Leave your communicator disconnected and choose the name of
your communicator from a list of named devices.
