Adding or removing programs

Programs added to your device at the factory are stored in ROM (Read- Only Memory). You cannot remove this software, and you will never accidentally lose ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated using installation programs with a *.xip extension. All other programs and data files added to your device after factory installation are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory).

You can install any program created for your device, as long as it has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your device is on the Pocket PC web site (http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc).

To add programs using ActiveSync:

NOTE You need to install the Microsoft ActiveSync on your desktop computer before you can synchronize and/or add programs to your device. Refer to “Chapter 3: Microsoft ActiveSync” for installation instructions.

1.Determine your device and processor type so that you know which version of the software to install. Tap , then tap Settings. On the System tab, tap About. In the Version tab, take note of the information in Processor.

2.Download the program to your desktop computer (or insert the CD that contains the program into your desktop computer). You may see a single *.xip, *.exe, or *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different device types and processors. Be sure to select the program designed for the Pocket PC and your device processor type.

3.Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

4.Connect your device to your desktop computer.
