Switching Between Sync Mode and Setup Mode
After setup is complete and you synchronize for the first time, the connection switches from
Setup Mode to Sync Mode. In Sync Mode, your device synchronizes with your computer every
time you connect them using the USB cable, provided that you have the current version of the
desktop sync software installed on your computer. The connection stays in Sync Mode unless
you manually switch it to Setup Mode. For example, if at some point after initial setup you
decide to download the User Guide, you need to switch to Setup Mode. Or if you didn’t install
the desktop sync software, or you want to install it on another computer, you use Setup Mode
to do it.
