Tap on Start>Settings, and then tap on the System tab.

Tap on the Certificates icon.

A public key is transmitted as part of a certificate. The certificates listed in the Certificates tabs ensure that the submitted public key is, in fact, the public key that belongs to the submitter. The hand-held checks that the certificate has been digitally signed by a certification authority that the hand-held explicitly trusts.

Your WORKABOUT PRO has certificates already preinstalled in the unit. Two types of certificates can be stored on your WORKABOUT PRO: personal certificates that establish your identity and root certificates that establish the identity of the servers with which you can connect.

Personal Tab

The Personal tab lists the name of the certificate issuer and the expiration date. You can tap on an item in the list to view additional information about a particular certificate.

To view more information about a personal certificate, tap on a certificate in the list.

To delete a certificate, tap and hold the stylus on the item you want to delete until a pop-up menu is displayed. Tap on the Delete command.
