Using Applications

MidasPAD comes with many default Microsoft File Viewers and other applications such as Internet Explorer.

If you have used Microsoft Windows previously, then using any of the Microsoft applications should be very similar. Just double-tap on the icon of the application you want to run.

To run any program, tap Start > Programs and choose the program you want to run.

Common Microsoft Internet applications include:

•Internet Explorer- view Web sites

•Windows CE Messenger- chat with friends

If you want to connect the Internet to view Web sites or read mail, you need to plug in either a GPRS card, or hook up a modem via the RS 232 port.

Microsoft File Viewers

MidasPAD also includes a number of Microsoft File Viewers. Microsoft File Viewers let you view actual Microsoft Office files, but you can’t modify or update them (read-only). So for example, if you know you are going to be on a bus for a long time you could save an eBook (PDF file) on a memory card and view it with MidasPAD during the bus trip.

Common Microsoft File Viewers include:

•Microsoft Excel Viewer

•Microsoft Image Viewer

•Microsoft PDF Viewer
