Preparing PDA for installation

If you have never used this feature before, you will need to (a) install the PC synchronising software that was supplied with your PDA onto your PC and then (b) connect the cradle to any of your PC's USB ports. For further details please refer to the pages on synchronisation in the documentation that was supplied with your PDA.

• Find the file on your device (normally in My Documents) and double-click on it to install.
• Reset the device by turning it off and on.
• Now install the Mobile Dealing application by clicking on the Download Mobile Dealing for PDA button on this page.

BlackBerry

The first time you open the application you will be asked whether your connection is being made via a proxy server. If you have a corporate BlackBerry it is likely to go through a proxy connection and you will therefore need to check this option. Personal BlackBerry devices are unlikely to go through a proxy.

If you receive an 'Error 201' message when logging into the application this would indicate that the settings are not set up correctly. Please note that for corporate BlackBerry phones it may be necessary to make changes to the Firewall settings. For further details please contact us. If you incorrectly checked the Proxy setting you can change this via the Menu button within the Login screen and then selecting Apply.

Error messages

If you are receiving any error messages please go through the following checklist:

• Is the phone listed as a phone we support?
• Have you have entered the correct details, account number and password?
• Are the GPRS settings are configured correctly i.e. full GPRS or Full Internet Access (not WAP)?
• Have you restarted the device since installing or upgrading the software?
• Did you agree to the permissions option to use the internet connection when prompted by the application?
• Do you have enough memory to support the application?
