Before you Begin

The following is required to install FaceToFace on a PAC Mate:

• FaceToFace Authorization code
• FaceToFace user name for the PAC Mate

Installing FaceToFace on the PAC Mate using Active Sync

To install FaceToFace on the PAC Mate, do the following:

1. Establish a Standard or Guest ActiveSync connection between the PAC Mate and the computer.
2. Insert the FaceToFace CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
3. On your computer, open the Start menu, select the Run command, and enter D:\FaceToFaceSetupABC.EXE, where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive, and ABC is the FaceToFace release and version number, to start the FaceToFace software installation.
4. The FaceToFace Pocket PC installation dialog appears. Select the Next button.
5. The License Agreement dialog appears. Select the "I accept the terms in the license agreement" radio button, and choose the Finish button.
6. Choose Yes to install the FaceToFace application into the default directory.

7. Once the application is downloaded to your computer, press ENTER to continue the installation on the PAC Mate.
8. The software now appears on the PAC Mate. From the Start menu, select Programs and choose FaceToFace.
   You must now start and configure FaceToFace to operate correctly on the PAC Mate. This is described in the “Configuring FaceToFace for the First Time on the PAC Mate” section.

Configuring FaceToFace for the First Time on the PAC Mate

When you start FaceToFace for the first time on the PAC Mate, you must do the following:

• Enter an authorization number
• Enter a name that identifies the PAC Mate to all FaceToFace users.
• Determine if you want to configure a PAC Mate keyboard sequence to serve as a hot button for the FaceToFace application, which allows you to quickly launch the application.

The following describes how to complete these tasks.

1. To start FaceToFace on the PAC Mate, choose the Start menu, select Programs, and choose FaceToFace.
2. When opened for the first time, you must enter an authorization number for the application, which you previously received in an email when you requested an Authorization number from the PMActivate.com site. The number is case-sensitive. When prompted, enter the authorization number, and press ENTER.

3. Next, enter a user name for the PAC Mate, and press ENTER.
   This identifier will appear before each message typed on the PAC Mate. The user name can be up to 16-characters long. An identifier that is unique and short is recommended, for example, "Joe’s PM."
4. Next, determine if you want to enable a keyboard sequence on the PAC Mate to automatically launch the FaceToFace application. By assigning a keyboard sequence, you can quickly launch FaceToFace without having to use the traditional program menu sequence from the Today screen.

Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to configure a PAC Mate keyboard sequence for FaceToFace.

Once this is complete, the PAC Mate searches for available Bluetooth devices.

When the search is complete, your iPAQ appears in a list of available devices.

5. If necessary, use the DOWN ARROW key to select the iPAQ in the Device Name list, and then press ENTER to select it.
   Note: If you only intend to communicate with the same device, you can select Save selection for future use. When the next device search occurs, you are offered the choice of that one device even if other devices in the area are available. However, this is not recommended if you wish to hold conversations with other Bluetooth devices, since those devices are not detected without going through additional steps.
   Next, the FaceToFace application opens on the PAC Mate, and the following message appears: Client mode: Attempting connection....
