S. A. Revision Notice This is the February 2003 release (Revision A) of the TerraSync Release Notes, part number 43161-23-ENG. It applies to version 2. 30 of the TerraSync software. [. . . ] Language files for translated installations are not supplied on the TerraSync Software & Operation Guide CD; they must be downloaded from the Trimble website. The TerraSync setup program uses the TerraSync Updater utility to automatically download and install language files. Trimble recommends that you only install a TerraSync translation on a CE device that has the corresponding language version of the operating system installed. For example, install Japanese TerraSync on a CE device that has Japanese Windows CE installed. System commands (such as the OK and Cancel buttons) are generated by the operating system, so they appear in the language of the operating system on the CE device. If you use TerraSync on a CE device that does not have the corresponding translation of the operating system installed, system commands are not translated. Also, some characters may not be interpreted or displayed correctly. For best results, make sure that the TerraSync and operating system languages match. If they do not, install any font that is supplied with TerraSync for that language. For more information, see Installing fonts on a CE device, page 19. B Tip ­ If you see squares or unusual characters instead of characters from the appropriate language, you need to install a font. Note ­ The Regional Options applet in the Control Panel only changes the display of date, time, units, and currency information. It does not change the language of the field computer's operating system. TerraSync Release Notes 17 To install a translation of TerraSync on a CE device: 1. Install the English version of TerraSync (see page 11). Use the TerraSync Updater utility to download and install the appropriate language file.

This can cause software errors on the CE device. Tip ­ The Trimble GPS Pathfinder font is installed automatically when you install TerraSync. This font includes symbols that you can use to represent point features on the map. If you want to use other symbol fonts for point features, install the additional fonts manually. To install a TerraSync language font on a CE device: 1. Uninstall any previous versions of the font. [. . . ] To establish a dial-up connection with a VRS provider using some cellphones (such as some Nokia models), you may need to send AT commands from the field computer to put the cellphone into ISDN mode. To configure the cellphone, connect it to a computer that is running a desktop Windows operating system. Some cellphones do not disconnect the dial-up connection to a VRS server when TerraSync sends a disconnect command. To ensure that a dial-up connection is ended, disconnect from the VRS server in TerraSync, and then end the call on the cellphone as well. · · · Restoring fonts · 1. 8. 4 After you perform a hard reset on a CE device that has a RAM backup feature (for example, a GeoExplorer CE handheld or a GIS TSCe field device), fonts that you have installed may not be available.
