You can use the PC connectivity software Ericsson EPOC Connect, to
integrate the MC 218 with PCs running Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0. You need
to install Ericsson EPOC Connect from the supplied CD. By connecting the
MC 218 to a PC with a docking cable and running Ericsson EPOC Connect,
you can:
• View your MC 218 files from Windows Explorer by using the ‘My

icon gives you access to all of the powerful file management facilities
of Ericsson EPOC Connect for your MC 218 files.
• Drag and drop files between the MC 218 and the PC in the same way
that you would between PC drives, and they will be automatically
converted to the appropriate file format at the same time.
• Synchronise Calendar files on the MC 218 with PC calendar
(programs) and contact managers, to keep them in step with each other.
• Back up your MC 218 files to the PC, then restore them from the PC
to the MC 218 again should you ever need to.
• Print files on your MC 218 to a printer connected directly to your PC,
or available from your PC via a network.
