Fig. 9. Lock/Unlock option Local database updates occur in a very simple way and are executed through the interaction of SidekickPC with a remote web service that copies information from the Electrolux central Sidekick database to your local computer. The software fully relies on the local database contents. You cannot operate the software if the local database is empty. For this reason, you must perform the initial full database update, prior using SidekickPC for the first time.
