                  Your First Time Using B.O.S.S. Lite

                  The first time you use B.O.S.S. Lite you will be taken to the Synchronization feature and required to synchronize with B.O.S.S. 5.0 online. You will not be allowed to use any other part of B.O.S.S. Lite until the synchronization is complete.

                  Synchronizing

                  In order to synchronize you must first input your B.O.S.S. 5.0 username and password and click the "Authenticate Online" button. Once you have authenticated you will be able to choose the user group you want to use. Once you have chosen your user group you can click "Synchronize With B.O.S.S. 5.0 Online."

                  Once synchronization is complete you can begin using B.O.S.S. Lite with your newly synchronized user group.
