2-3. Installation procedure

CAUTION
Save past data for reinstallation
Please note the following when reinstalling the software:
1. Uninstall the software before reinstallation.
2. If the software is uninstalled after some operation, some files will remain on the PC. Of these files,
SP220.mdb is a database file. If past data needs to be saved, copy this file to a different location,and then delete the folder.

CAUTION
Precautions when installingThis software requires a library, which consists of files such as various drivers, installed on theWindows system. The files are installed automatically during the installation of the software.
Installation of the system library requires administrator privileges.
In this case, follow the instructions to log in as an administrator, and then install the system library.
After installation, a dialog prompts to restart the system. Restart, log on again as a general user, andinstall the application.
(Both the library and the application are installed by clicking setup.exe in the CD-ROM. Installation withan administrator privilege is required only when the required library is not installed in the system folder.)CAUTION
When using the software under a network-connected environment
When installing on a network-connected PC, check the following points.
IrDA communication utilizes a subset of TCP/IP technology (the communication technology used for theInternet, etc.) and uses a special set of communication groups and IP addresses.
Because of this, some strong Internet security software might reject communication.
If possible, use a computer that is not connected to the network.
When using a computer connected to the network, use with sufficient considerations on security
settings.

Data Maintenance
Depending on usage (such as loading data many times in a single day), the number of data might increase
drastically. In such a case, it might be difficult just to find the desired data. In addition, there is a possibility oflosing valuable data caused by an unexpected trouble of the PC.
To prepare for such unexpected events, a periodical backup of the data is recommended.

4-1. Details of data storage structure
Data is stored in the working folder of the shortcut.
1)

File name: SP220.mdb
File type: Microsoft Jet 3.6 database file

4-2. Backup
Although it depends on usage, we recommend the data to be copied to another hard disk device or anauxiliary storage device (such as an MO drive or CD-R drive).
To restore data, copy it to the installation folder of the SP-220 executable. The program searches for data on
startup and the data will be available to view.

5

Operating Precautions
When using the program, take sufficient considerations on the following points:(1) When downloading data, check that SP-220 is placed at an appropriate position. If the position is not
appropriate, download cannot be performed properly.
(2) When downloading, avoid similar operations using another application. (For example, performing IR
communication during data download)(3) Do not kill the program (for example, by using Ctrl + Alt + Del). This program saves setting parameterson the shutdown process to prepare for the next startup. Therefore, if the program is killed, the nextstartup might fail.
(4) Do not modify a data file directly.
