I. PALMPILOT BASICS
1. First, you'll need a PalmPilot. You can purchase one of these nifty PDA's (personal digital assistants) at most any office supply store, like a Office Max, Office Depot, or Staples. They are also for sale on the internet. Try www.priceline.com for prices. PocketTest software will run on any model PalmPilot, but will NOT run on PocketPC/WindowsCE devices (yet!). So make sure to get a PalmOS compatible device.
2. Attach the PalmPilot cradle cable to your computer and install the Palm Desktop software using the CDROM that came with your PalmPilot if you haven't already done so.
3. Check the batteries. Turn the PalmPilot on and tap the "Applications" button (the little house). The battery meter is at the top. Low battery levels can cause HotSync problems.
II. REMOVING ANY PREVIOUS VERSIONS
If you previously installed an older version of the software on your PalmPilot, you should first remove the old version. If this is the first time you have ever installed the program, skip to "V. Installing the Program Files" below.
NOTE: This procedure will erase any old bookmarks and quiz scores from the old program.
To remove any old version of the software:
- Turn on your PalmPilot
- Tap the Applications button (the little house) at the bottom left of the glass.
- Tap the Title bar (the blue tab at the top of the screen) to bring down the menus, then tap the 'App:Delete' menu.
- Look for the name of the product you are installing. It will resemble the name of the test you are taking and will be something like (PrvtPlt,IPilot,CPilot,FundInst,FltInst,ATPilot1,ATPilot2, or FltEngr).
- Tap the name of the product to select it, then tap the 'Delete' button, and 'Yes'.
- If you see more than one file with that name, or a similar name, like 'PrvtPltDB', delete that file also.
III. INSTALL THE PALM OS SOFTWARE
- Before downloading the PocketTest program, make sure you have installed the Palm Desktop CDROM that came with your PDA.
- If you have never hotsynced your PDA before, you may be asked for additional information. Complete these dialogs.
IV. INSTALL THE POCKETTEST SOFTWARE
- Get online and proceed to www.pockettest.com/download.
- Select the PPilot.PRC file download.
- When presented with the option of Open or Save to Disk, select "Open".
- After the download is complete, the Palm Install Tool should appear with "PPILOT" in the list.
- Click Done.
- HOTSYNC! Place your PalmPilot in the cradle and press the HotSync button.
Congratulations! You've installed the program.
V. REGISTRATION
The software installs initially as a free demo, but can be fully licensed in minutes by purchasing a registration key online at www.PocketTest.com or calling 256-370-7373.
After the HotSync is complete from "IV. Install the PocketTest Software" (above), tap on the Applications button (the little house), and look for an airplane icon labeled 'PrivPlt'. Tap on the icon to launch to program.
You will be asked for your registration key, which is listed on your purchase receipt.
If you do not yet have a registration key, you can tap the "Demo" button to use the program, but the program will be limited to only one category of questions.
To purchase online, visit:
