UCLA M-Business INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION (Print in PDF)

We expect that you are going to set up the new M-Business Client software and UCLA Server Clerkship information channels with the computer that you use to sync your PDA. Have your computer set up for connecting to the Web, with the PDA ready to sync.

NOTE: M-Business does not support Mac Users. If you are a Mac user, you will need to come to the PDA Clinic sessions to get M-Business installed onto your PDA. Once installed, you can sync your PDA weekly via the IR Ports that are available in TLC Lab (second floor of the UCLA Biomed Library) and at MedWest. Click here to view IR Sync Instruction.
