1. GETTING STARTED (to top)
Thank You for ordering the Zire71 Kennametal Mobile™. The package youreceived should contain:
Figure 1.1: Contents of Kennametal Mobile Package
(1) The Palm Zire71 package with the USB HotSync cradle. It also contains the Palmsoftware on two orange disks.
(2) The RS-232 Serial cradle for Windows NT users and PC based CNC controls.
(3) The CncGcoder™ Palm to CNC RS-232 serial cable. This cable works with mostCNC controls.
(4) The white CncGcoder™ CncSync utilities CD. This disk contains the CncGcoder™CncSync utility software and the BlueSync conduit installer.
(5) The Kennametal Mobile™ SD Memory Card. This card contains the KennametalMobile™ applications. CNC programs, photos, and other data can be stored on this card.
Follow the steps outlined in Section 2 to install the software onto the Palm and thecomputer. Sections 3 through 14 will explain in detail how to correctly use each of theKennametal Mobile™ applications. Finally, Section 15 will answer some of the mostfrequently asked questions and give some tips on using your Kennametal Mobile™.

2. SETTING UP YOUR PALM AND COMPUTER (to top)
• The following steps will walk you through installing the CncSync, BlueSync, andPalm software. Please follow the directions in order to properly install all thesoftware.
1.) Setup the USB HotSync cradle found in the Palm Zire71 Package. If you are usingWindows NT or do not have a USB port on your computer, use the serial cradle providedin the Kennametal Mobile ™ kit.
2.) Place the Palm Zire71 on the cradle and let it fully charge for at least 2 hours.
3.) Three compact disks came packaged in your CncGcoder™ kit, two orange PalmZire71 disks and one white Kennametal Mobile™ disk. (NOTE: In order to install theprograms properly, the intended user of the software must have local administrativerights during installation. After installation, the user does not need localadministrative rights to run the programs.)
4.) Insert the orange Palm Zire 71 disk 1 into your CDROM drive.

• The Settings operation will display the current CncGcoder™ communicationsettings and allow you to change the parameters in order to transfer the G-Code toand from the CNC of the machine. Two drop down menus are located at the topof the screen. Tapping the top menu will display the various categories of settingsthat can be changed. Tapping the bottom menu allows you to match the specificsettings under each category to your machine's configuration. Each configurationmay be saved under different machine names. This operation also allows you toerase machines and machine settings that are already saved.

1.) The first screen will display a legal disclaimer. Tap the Continue button to get to thefirst page of the machine tool calculator (Figure 5.1).
2.) Tap the i button (5-1) to display the information about the program.
3.) Calculation Mode: Tap on a button to choose inches (5-2) or millimeters (5-3) foryour calculation. Once tapped, the selected value will be highlighted and a message willpop-up (Figure 5.3) asking if you want to convert the diameter. If you tap Convert (5-4),the number and units of the work/tool diameter (5-6) will be converted into the chosenunits. If you tap on the Don’t Convert button (5-5), the number will stay the same andonly the units will change. For example, if you chose to convert the 1 inch (5-6), theresult will be 25.4 mm (5-7). If you chose don’t convert, the result will be 1 mm (5-8).
4.) Material: Tap the down arrow (5-9) to drop down a list of materials. Select a materialby tapping once on the name

8.) Work/Tool Diameter: Enter the work or the tool diameter (5-6). Data may be enteredin three modes.
a. Tap on the line (104) to display the cursor. Enter a value by tapping on the palmkeyboard (5-27) or using the Graffiti input (both are explained in further detail inthe Palm manual).
b. OR, tap on an increment value from the list (5-15) below the Calculate button.The selected increment value will be highlighted. Then tap on the Dia. – or Dia.+ buttons (5-16) to decrease or increase the diameter by the chosen incrementamount. Tap the Clear button (5-17) to erase the data from the line.
c. OR, move the joystick left and right to select the increment from the incrementlist (5-15). Then, move the joystick up to increase the diameter and down todecrease it.
9.) # Tool Edges: Tap on the down arrow (5-18) to drop down a list of the tool cuttingedges or inserts from 1 to 20. The small arrows at the side of the list will allow you toscroll up and down through the numbers. Tap on the number you wish to select. Use 1for drilling and turning.
