Inserting the CardTool 

To insert the CardTool, align the unit with the Handspring expansion slot (see figure 1) and gradually 
insert the unit.  It should insert smoothly until it makes contact with the expansion slot stops.  Do not 
force the unit into the expansion slot.  If resistance is significant, withdraw CardTool and ensure there 
are no foreign objects in the expansion slot and that CardTool is properly aligned with the Visor 
expansion slot.    

 
 

 

 

CardDemo Application Installation 

 

After plugging in the CardTool, the built in demonstration program, ‘CardDemo’ automatically installs 
and welcome screen appears.  This screen is where a developer would display welcome information 
specific to their application.  The CardDemo application displays TokenWorks Logo.  After the user 
selects OK, the main screen appears.  See the CardDemo section for more information on this 
program.  Note: The C source code is provided in the development kit.
