Charging the Palm handheld via the HPC401 Plus Interface
The Palm handheld can be charged with the HPC401 Plus Interface still connected. This is possible
due to the inclusion of a passthrough power supply connector on the bottom of the HPC401 Plus
Interface. To charge the Palm with the HPC401 Plus Interface connected, simply insert the
connector of the included power supply into the HPC401 Plus power supply connector as shown in
Figure 4 below. The Palm handheld will indicate it is being charged. The HPC401 Plus hardware
and software can be used as normal while the Palm is charging.
Note: The HPC401 Plus Interface is powered from the Palm battery and requires no additional
power supply to function.

2.3 Software Setup & Installation
The entire HPC Suite is pre-loaded onto the included Palm handheld and is ready to be used. It is
recommended to install the Palm software onto your PC in order to enable Hotsyncing and to
backup the files contained on your Palm. This will ensure that the HPC Suite along with your Palm
settings will be recoverable if your Palm should lose its memory. In this case a simple Hotsync will
restore these files and settings automatically.
Note: Installation of the Meazura and Palm software can be completed by inserting the Smar
Research Prodcut CD into the CD-ROM drive of your PC and selecting the “MEZ1000 Setup” .
