Installation Instructions.

The complete installation of Pocket Hal from CD to Pocket PC is reached in three simple steps.  
Step 1 is the installation of the program files and support documentation to your computer.  
Step 2 is the installation of Pocket Hal and its components from your computer to your Pocket PC. 
Step 3 is the product's activation.
After beginning the installation process each subsequent step will be automatically started.  This provides a seamless installation process.


Step 1: Installing to your computer

Please follow these steps to install the files onto your computer:
1. Ensure your Pocket PC is connected and synchronised with your computer.
2. Install Pocket Hal from the CD.

If during the installation you select an automatic installation then all components will be copied without further prompting. During a custom installation you will be asked to verify if each component is to be installed.
If for some reason you wish to leave the installation program press the ESCAPE key.


Step 2: Installing to your Pocket PC

After the installation of the required components to your computer, the Dolphin CE Installer will automatically run to begin the installation of Pocket Hal to your Pocket PC.  The Dolphin CE Installer, when it first runs, will ask you to select a language.  The second step is to choose an express or custom installation.

Express Install.
If an express installation is chosen then the items to be installed to your Pocket PC will be based on your language selection.  With an express installation the HP Bluetooth Foldable Keyboard will be enabled and there will be no SAM Braille drivers installed.  

Custom Install.
With a custom installation you can select what supplementary files you would like to install.  This installation path should be followed if you want access to more than the default single language files or you want to use a supported Braille display or you want to automatically enable an alternative keyboard in the Dolphin keyboard driver.
When the installation is complete, your Pocket PC will perform a soft-reset.  When the reset is complete, Pocket Hal will automatically run.
	

Step 3: Activating Pocket Hal

To complete the installation of Pocket Hal the product must be activated.  This is to obtain a software license for Pocket Hal.  Without a software license Pocket Hal will run for only 30 days.
On your computer, after Pocket Hal has been installed to your Pocket PC, you are then presented with the Product Activation program.  At this stage you can choose to "Activate now" or "Remind me later".

Activate now.
Product activation can be done in two ways: Internet activation and manual activation.
Internet activation is the quickest and simplest method to activate your product.  It requires you to have an Internet connection.  The product activation process will connect you to the Dolphin server where you will be allocated an activation code.  Pocket Hal will then be automatically activated.
Manual activation requires you to contact your local Dolphin dealer to obtain an activation code.  The code then requires inserting in order to activate the Pocket Hal.  The activation code is based on your product key.  The product key is stated during the manual activation process.

Remind me later.
If you choose "Remind me later" you will then be informed regularly that activation is still required and you will be informed of the number of days remaining to perform this task. 
To re-commence the activation process you should run the Dolphin CE Installer again and select the "Activate" button.

Pocket Hal can be automatically activated twice.  Uninstalling and re-installing Pocket Hal onto the same computer does not result in Pocket Hal having to be activated again.  If you require an activation after two activations have been performed then please contact your Dolphin dealer.
During the activation process Dolphin does not obtain any personal information from your computer besides your product license key.
