			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This may be caused by usage of a BlackBerry theme that does not support third party applications.  (For example, the Verizon theme does not support third party applications, therefore you will not be able to see the Principalm application icon.)</p>

<p>To confirm why you cannot see the Principalm icon, change to the default theme by following the steps below:</p>

<ul>
    <li> Access the BlackBerry menu and select Options</li>
    <li> Select Theme</li>
    <li> Select the &#8220;default&#8221; theme</li>
    <li> Choose activate (not necessary on some BlackBerry devices)</li>
    <li> Exit to the home screen, and look for the Principalm application icon (note: on some devices the icon is listed under Downloads)</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Performance levels will vary between device models and SD memory cards containing &#8220;High Capacity&#8221; ratings. (older device models will have a higher impact on speed than SDHC memory cards).</p>

<ul>
<li>To determine the model of your BlackBerry device click <a href="/support/principalm/help/operating_system" title="here" />here</a>. </li>
<li>SD Memory cards that contain a &#8220;High Capacity&#8221; rating, demands higher storage capacity and more demanding data transfer rates. There are three available speeds — Class 2, Class 4 and Class 6. For more information on SDHC cards vs SD cards, click <a href="http://www.kingston.com/channelmarketingcenter/flash/literature/MKF_1527_What_Is_SDHC.pdf">here</a></li>
</ul>

<p>We&#8217;ve tested Principalm 7.4 with the following devices and memory cards. Here are the results:</p>

<p><b>1GB SD Card Class 0</b></p>

<table class=matrix>
<thead>
<tr><th>Device</th><th>No. of Students</th><th>Time to load Student screen</th><th>Time to load Grades &#038; Attendance screen</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>BlackBerry Curve (8300 Series)</td><td>2084</td><td>6.1 seconds</td><td>12.4 seconds</td></tr>
<tr><td>BlackBerry Curve (8900 Series)</td><td>2084</td><td>2.5 seconds</td><td>4.9 seconds</td></tr>
<tr><td>BlackBerry Storm (9500 Series)</td><td>2084</td><td>1.9 seconds</td><td>3.5 seconds</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

<p><b>1GB SDHC Card Class 6</b></p>

<table class=matrix>
<thead>
<tr><th>Device</th><th>No. of Students</th><th>Time to load Student screen</th><th>Time to load Grades &#038; Attendance screen</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>BlackBerry Curve (8300 Series)</td><td>2084</td><td>5.6 seconds</td><td>11.8 seconds</td></tr>
<tr><td>BlackBerry Curve (8900 Series)</td><td>2084</td><td>1.9 seconds</td><td>3.2 seconds</td></tr>
<tr><td>BlackBerry Storm (9500 Series)</td><td>2084</td><td>2.1 seconds</td><td>3.5 seconds</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

<p>Please note that delay times will vary for all users. If you are experiencing a longer than expected delay on your device, please contact <a href="mailto:support@discoverysoftware.com">Discovery Support</a> for steps on how we can test your delay times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When running an extraction that is taking a long time, the data extractor may fail with a message box and the error may say &#8220;user requested cancel of current operation&#8221;.</p>

<p>This error indicates that Oracle (or your database server) returned a query timeout because the current query was taking too long.</p>

<p>The fix for this is as follows:</p>

<ol>
    <li>Open &#8220;Data Sources (ODBC); Start-&gt;Control Panel-&gt;Administrative Tools-&gt;Data Sources (ODBC)</li>
    <li>On the system or user tab, look for the Data Source the data extractor uses to connect to your Database.</li>
    <li>Select it, and click &#8220;Configure&#8230;&#8221;</li>
    <li>Make sure that: &#8220;Enable Query Timeout&#8221; is unchecked</li>
    <li>Click OK</li>
    <li>Click OK</li>
</ol>

<p>You will now need to run the Data Extraction again.</p>

<p>This should rectify the problem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If Principalm Connect is not recognizing your BlackBerry device or media card while synched via USB, please ensure the following Memory settings are set correctly:</p>

<p>To set BlackBerry Memory settings:</p>

<ol>
<li>Access the BlackBerry applications menu and select Options</li>
<li>Choose Memory (or Media Card)
<strong><em>ensure the following settings are as follows:</em></strong><em> </em>
Media Card Support &#8211; On
Encryption Mode &#8211; None
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) &#8211; On
Mass Storage Mode Support &#8211; On
Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected &#8211; Yes</li>
<li>Save settings</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>Note: If your distirct is running <a href="/support/principalm/help/enterprise-server" title="BlackBerry Enterprise Server" />BlackBerry Enterprise Server</a>, the Encryption Mode may be set to &#8220;Security Password&#8221;.  If you are unable to change this setting, you will need to follow the steps below to have your memory card shown as a removable disk drive:</li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li>Connect your BlackBerry device to your computer using the USB cable</li>
<li>You will be asked to enter the password for your BlackBerry on the device.  Enter this password, and click OK.</li>
<li>The memory card should now be shown as a removable disk drive on your computer, and you will be able to update your card with Principalm+.</li>
</ol>

<p>If you are still not seeing your media card, this may be caused by mapped drives using the same drive the computer wants to give to your media card.  You can check this by following the steps below:</p>

<ul>
    <li>Go to your Start Menu</li>
    <li>Select Control Panel</li>
    <li>Then Administrative Tools</li>
    <li>Then Computer Management</li>
    <li>Under Storage, select Disk Management</li>
</ul>

<p>You should see all of your drives listed.  Look for your BlackBerry device&#8217;s media card and see if there is another drive with the same letter.  If there is, right click on your BlackBerry device&#8217;s media card and:</p>

<ul>
    <li>Select &#8220;Change Drive Letter and Path&#8221;</li>
    <li>Click &#8220;Change&#8221;</li>
    <li>Select a drive letter that is not in use and click OK</li>
</ul>

<p>Finally go back to Principalm Connect, click Rescan and you should see the drive letter you selected in the list.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are having issues hiding the keyboard on a BlackBerry Storm device:</p>

<p>a. You are not familiar with the touch screen. Instead of sliding the keyboard up and down try selecting the menu button and choosing &#8220;Hide/Show Keyboard&#8221;.</p>

<p>b. You initially installed an incorrect version of Principalm+ on your BlackBerry Storm device. (You will notice blue bars on each side of the screen within Principalm+).</p>

<p>If you&#8217;ve installed an incorrect version, please follow these steps to correct the issue:</p>

<ol>
<li><p><b>Uninstall Principalm+</b>.  Please refer to <a href="/support/principalm/help/principalm/uninstall" title="Principalm Uninstall" />Principalm Uninstall</a> for directions on deleting Principalm+.</p></li>
<li><p><b>Reinstall Principalm+</b>. Please follow the <a href="/support/principalm/help/installation" title="Principalm+ Installation" />Principalm+ Installation</a> guide, for instructions on installing Principalm+ on BlackBerry.</p></li>
<li><p><b>Disable Compatibility Mode</b>. When Principalm BlackBerry.jad is installed on a BlackBerry Storm, this enables compatibility mode on the device which needs to be disabled to allow full functionality of Principalm+ on BlackBerry Storm devices.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>To Disable Compatibility Mode:</p>

<p>a. Access BlackBerry menu and select Options <br />
b. Choose Advanced Options<br />
c. Choose Applications<br />
d. Locate Principalm and highlight it (do not select it)<br />
e. Click the menu button and chose &#8220;Disable Compatibility Mode&#8221;</p>

<p>Principalm+ should now run correctly.</p>
