Installation Instruction:

1. On your desktop computer, locate the installation file that you downloaded. Double-click the file to begin the installation.
2. In the main installer screen, select InfoRetriever for Palm. The InfoRetriever Updater is automatically selected for installation.
   
   
3. A seperate installation process will launch for the InfoRetriever for Palm OS setup and the InfoRetriever Updater setup. Follow the instructions in each installer carefully. During the InfoRetriever for Palm OS installation, you may be asked to select the Palm Desktop user for whom you are installing InfoRetriever.
4. After the InfoRetriever Setup has completed, perform a HotSync operation. This first of two required HotSync operations will install the InfoRetriever program to your device.
5. Perform a second hotsync. This second HotSync operation will download and install the InfoRetriever resource and data files to your device. It may take much longer than a normal HotSync operation.
   NOTE: If you experience errors during the HotSync operation, or if the InfoRetriever program does not appear to function properly, an additional HotSync operation may be required.

InfoRetriever Updater Initial Configuration:

1. If this is the first time that you have installed the InfoRetriever Updater, it will present you with an Initial Configuration dialog. Unless you have specific reason to change an option, simply click
   Next >, Next >, Finish to accept all default options.
   

InfoRetriever Registration:

1. During one of the initial HotSync operations, the Updater software should attempt to automatically register the InfoRetriever program.
2. If the Updater fails to automatically register InfoRetriever, the program will stop functioning after 30 days unless a registration code is provided. Be sure to register your copy of InfoRetriever® so that the program will function for the full duration of your subscription.

To Check if InfoRetriever is properly registered:

1. Launch InfoRetriever on your Palm OS device and select File -> Register from the application menu.
   
   
2. If InfoRetriever is properly registered, the registration screen will show the expiration date. Otherwise, register and obtain a License code by visiting the InfoRetriever registration form and following the instructions provided.
