Troubleshooting

1 Check that the link cable is connected correctly to the PC and the SHARP Organizer (as

described in Chapter 2)!

2 Ensure that the interface to which you have connected the link cable is correctly specified in

the Organizer Link 4 program. If, for example, you have connected the cable to COM2, you
must also specify COM2 in the ‘General’ tab under ‘Settings’, otherwise no data can be
transferred.

3 If your PC only has one serial port to which a mouse is normally connected but which you

now want to use for the link, you must also remove the mouse driver first and restart Windows.
Otherwise the mouse driver will use the same interface as Organizer Link 4 and prevent data
transfer.

4 Also check that the batteries in the SHARP Organizer are in perfect condition. If the battery

charge is low, a corresponding icon appears in the application window of the Organizer.
