Wins Preliminary Injunction Against Olivetti Office USA, CompanionLink Sales, Distribution of Royal daVinci Palm-size PDA, Software Development Kit Prohibited, Protecting Palm Computing's Open Platform, Intellectual Property San Jose, Calif., August 12, 1999 - 3Com Corporation today announced that on August 10, 1999, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California granted Palm Computing, Inc.'s Motion for Preliminary Injunction against further distribution, sale, import or export of Olivetti Office USA's "Royal daVinci" palm-size PDA, and the daVinci OS Software Development Kit (SDK), distributed by CompanionLink Software, Inc. Specifically, the Preliminary Injunction prohibits Olivetti and CompanionLink "from directly or indirectly copying, importing, exporting, distributing, or selling in any medium [certain portions of the] copyrighted Palm OS source code, or object code, or any software derived therefrom." The injunction is to remain in effect pending the outcome of the lawsuit. In its ruling, the Court noted that Palm had "made a showing of likelihood of success on the merits" that portions of the copyrighted Palm OS operating system software were copied verbatim in the daVinci products, in violation of the United States copyright laws. The Court issued the Preliminary Injunction less than three weeks after Palm filed its copyright infringement action against Olivetti and CompanionLink on July 22, 1999, and obtained a Temporary Restraining Order on July 23,1999. Palm also initiated a copyright infringement action in Hong Kong on July 21, 1999, against EchoLink Design Ltd., the company responsible for developing the operating system software contained in the daVinci products. The High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region issued an order the same day restraining Echlin from further copying, distribution, sale, import or export of Palm Operating System source code or EchoLink's "NEXUS OS" source code, which Palm maintains infringes its copyrights. Alan Kessler, president of Palm Computing, commented, "Palm's primary objective in this is to protect the openness of our platform. We are gratified that the courts in both the United States and Hong Kong have acted quickly to protect Palm's copyrights. Palm intends vigilantly to enforce our intellectual property rights against infringement or misappropriation; this benefits the investment in Palm's platform and the products made by Palm's many licensees, over 18,000 Palm development partners, strategic alliance partners, employees, shareholders and our four million plus customers." ### Palm Computing, Inc., a 3Com company, is the leading provider of handheld information management solutions, including the

C. TROUBLESHOOTING DAVINCI SYNCHRONIZATION When installing the PC synchronization software, notice that there are various options available to you. Among the programs that you can install are DVLink and CompanionLink. The following Q/A might answer some of the questions or issues you may encounter during installation or synchronization. Q1: When DVSync attempts to load, the error message Unable to open COM xxx appears on the computer. What does this prompt mean? A1: This prompt means the communication port you have chosen is either in use by another device (mouse, camera, modem, etc.) or that the port does not exist. During installation the program sets COM 1 as the default communication port for the synchronization operation. If a modem or another device is using COM 1, the assigned communication port must be changed. If you do not know which communication port to use, follow these steps to find your PCs communication port(s). 1. 2. From the desktop, select and double click My Computer, Control panel, - Modems. Select and click the Diagnostics tab. The information shown will be all communications ports recognized by Windows.
Now that you know which communication port is available, you need to set DVSync to communicate with your PC via that COM port. Singleclick the DVSync icon on the taskbar and select the DVSync Settings option. Change the COM setting.
If you are still not synchronizing, check for communications conflicts: 1. On the PC from the desktop, select My Computer, Control panel, System. 2. Select the Device Manager tab. This dialog lists the devices being used by Windows. a. Click the + to the left of Ports (COM & LPT). This will display the list of COM ports recognized by Windows. b. Highlight the COM port being used by the DVSync software. c. Click the Properties button. The device status information area should say, "This device is working properly". d. Click the Resources tab. The conflicting resource list should say, "No conflicts". If the daVinci still does not synchronize with your PC, the port may be disabled in the CMOS Setup of the PC. You will need to consult the PC manufacturer for information on how to enter setup on your machine. Q2: When attempting to synchronize, the message ErrorTime Out! appears on the screen after a short time. Why does it occur? A2: The most likely cause for timeouts is that the communication port (COM port) is not set to the correct number or that DVSync is not running on the PC before starting the synchronization from the daVinci. Before starting the synchronization process, ensure that the daVinci is well placed in the provided cradle and that the cradles cable is fully inserted into the correct available COM port on the PC.

Start the DVSync program on the PC (if it is not currently running). The icon for it should appear on the system tray next to the PC clock. Single-click the icon on the system tray and select the DVSync Settings option. You will be able to point the program to ports 1 through 4. Try each one in succession with syncs in between. If a message comes up that it cannot open the port, that port does not exist or is in use by another software package. If after trying all ports without success, it is possible that either the COM port is not set correctly (see more information on setting the correct COM port in A1 above), or that the cradle may be defective. Be sure that the DVSync Settings window is not open when synchronizing. Q3: I am using CompanionLink/DVLink to synchronize. The synchronization process appears to be finishing correctly, but data is not being transferred. What should I do? A3: Make sure the desired program is selected in the DVSync Settings: 1. Start DVSync on the PC if it is not already running. From the Start menu select Programs, select the program you want running on the PC. This will automatically start DVSync. 2. Single-click the icon on the system tray and select the DVSync Settings option. 3. You will know the communication port (COM port) setting is correct because the DVSync process finished normally. In the DVSync Settings window click that tab corresponding to the Personal Information Manger you are using (DVLink or CompanionLink). In whatever tab you just clicked, be sure that the checkbox beginning with "Synchronize to." on the first screen is checked. 4. Click Apply and then OK. 5. Synchronize again. If the data has still not transferred from the PC to the daVinci, use the Purge and Reload function on the PC software. For more information about using the purge and reload function see the help file in DVLink or CompanionLink.
