2.Connect the Pocket PC to the host and download the software from the host to the Pocket PC. (You can connect the Pocket PC to the host before or after you install the software to the host.)

3.Insert the AirCard into the Pocket PC.

To install the software, you can either:

Connect the host and the Pocket PC before you install the software to the host. (In this case, you are prompted to initiate the download as soon as the software installation is complete.)

Or

Install the software to the host and then connect the host and the Pocket PC, as described here.

This process installs Watcher and the AirCard drivers.

Installing the software on the host

1.If the AirCard installation CD is not in your CD-ROM drive, insert it. The CD should auto-start and display a menu.

·If the CD does not auto-start, select Start > Run and enter d:\launch.exe where d is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.

2.From the CD start-up menu, select:

·Pocket PC installation and documentation and then Pocket PC software installation (if you have a Pocket PC running Windows CE 3.0 MS Pocket PC), or

·Pocket PC 2002 installation and documentation and then Pocket PC 2002 software installation (if you have a Pocket PC running Windows CE 3.0 Pocket PC 2002)

This launches the InstallShield Wizard that installs the soft- ware to the host.

3.Use the Next and Back buttons to navigate through the wizard.

·Using the default settings for the Destination Location and Program Folder is recommended unless you have special requirements and an advanced understanding of PC configuration.

·A dialog box displays this message, “On the next mobile device connection, the installed applications will be downloaded to the device.” Click OK.

·Use the exit option in the lower right corner of the window to close the CD start-up menu.
