III. SETTING UP YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION

- If you want iCollect to use a dial-up connection, click the "Use the following dial-up connection" button, then identify the dial-up connection you want to use. iCollect will automatically detect and display the dial-up connections on your system in the "Connect to" field. Be sure to include any necessary usernames and passwords. You may accept the defaults for the other options or change those according to your needs.
- If you are on a LAN, click the "Connect to the Internet through a LAN" Button.
IV. GENERAL PRODUCT ISSUES
1- When using AOL as your ISP you must launch AOL before you start iCollect.
Some of the features, such as scheduled downloads are not available with AOL due to the fact that you must launch AOL before you start iCollect.
2- Certain types of web pages and the information contained within in them do not function properly or are not downloadable into iCollect. Web sites are constructed using a wide variety of methods and with different types of media. This is beyond our control and Sierra cannot be held responsible for these types of pages. If there is certain information you want on pages, try right clicking on an image and copying the image into iCollect. If you have Auto-Copy Elements selected in the Collect menu, that item will copy directly into iCollect.
3- If your display settings are 800x600 you may find a portion of the toolbar may not be displayed completely. Click on the Maximize button on the iCollect Title bar to display all toolbar buttons.
