Adding or Removing Programs

Programs added to your device at the factory by default are stored in ROM (read only memory). You cannot remove them, and you will never accidentally lose them. You can install any other programs created for your device, as long as your device 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 :

You will need to install the appropriate software for your device on your PC before install- ing it on your device.

1 Download the program to your PC (or insert the CD or disk that contains the program into your PC). Be sure to select the program designed for the Pocket PC and your device process or type.

2Read any installation instructions, or documentation that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

3Connect your device and PC.

4 Double click the .exe file.

n If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the screen. Once the software has been installed on your PC, the installer will automatically transfer the software to your device.
