Downloading the software to the Pocket PC

1.Connect the Pocket PC to the host in one of these ways:

·Connect one end of the serial cable to the bottom of the Pocket PC and the other end to a serial port on your host PC, or

·Place your Pocket PC in its cradle and connect the USB cable on the cradle to a USB port on your host PC, or

·Align the infrared port on your Pocket PC with an infrared port on your host PC.

ActiveSync should launch automatically when the host and Pocket PC are connected.

2.If you are prompted to indicate whether you want to set up a partnership, click Yes or No and click Next. (For the purpose of downloading the AirCard software, it does not matter whether you have a partnership.) You should then be prompted that there is software to download.

3.In the Installing Applications window, click Yes to start the download. When complete, you will be prompted to check your mobile device screen to see if additional steps are required.

4.Click OK.

5.Reset your Pocket PC by inserting the stylus into the reset button. (The reset button is usually a circular indentation that may be on the bottom of the Pocket PC. Consult the documentation that came with your PC if you do not know how to reset the device. Simply turning the device off and on is not sufficient.)

Inserting the AirCard into a Pocket PC

2.Ensure the SIM card is inserted into the AirCard (described on page 6).
