2 Using the ClassPad Add-In Installer

Add-in software applications let you add new functions and configure your ClassPad to your specific needs.

The ClassPad Add-In Installer lets you install add-in software applications on your ClassPad.

The steps you need to perform depend on whether you have the ClassPad’s “Wakeup Enable” feature turned on or off. For information about “Wakeup Enable”, see “Configuring Communication Parameters” in the ClassPad 300 (page 15-3-1)/ClassPad 300 PLUS (page 16-3-1) User’s Guide.

When “Wakeup Enable” is turned on

Perform the following steps in sequence, from 1 through 17.*

Perform the steps in the following sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 5*, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
