If not,

Once syncronization is complete, go to step 3.

  1. If your Pocket PC is in its cradle, you will be given the opportunity to synchronise immediately.
  2. If your Pocket PC is not in its cradle, Timetables for Pocket PC will be installed the next time you run the ActiveSync synchronisation.
  3. The application Timetables for Pocket PC is now installed on your Pocket PC and a program icon will have been added to the program folder in your Pocket PC. Select the program icon in your Pocket PC to start Timetables for Pocket PC.
 

Automatic update
The program will automatically update the timetables and checks whether the timetables you have are up to date. If they’re not, a new version is automatically downloaded onto your computer and will be installed on your personal assistant the next time you do a synchronisation.

 

Connection difficulties
If your computer is protected by a firewall that prevents access to update files, you must authorise the "checkthalysPalm.exe" procedure to access the servers at www.thalys.com. For further details, refer to your firewall’s manual or contact your network administrator. If your firewall prevents automatic updates, you can always manually download the last available version.
