Sprint Nextel 550 manual Install the software to the host, Pocket PC System Requirements

Getting Started

Since software cannot be installed directly to a Handheld/Pocket PC, you require a desktop or notebook computer to function as a “host”. The installation, activation, and configuration process follows these steps:

1.Install the software to the host.

2.Connect the Handheld/Pocket PC to the host and download the software from the host to the Handheld/Pocket PC. (You can connect the Handheld/Pocket PC to the host before or after you install the software to the host.)

3.If the card has not been pre-activated, use the Sprint Activation Wizard to configure the card.

Before you begin the installation, ensure you have the necessary hardware, software, and system resources described in the next section.
