Installing Microsoft ActiveSync

Microsoft ActiveSync must be installed on the computer in order to exchange information between the computer and the PA600. Microsoft ActiveSync is already installed on the PA600. Use the PA600’s USB Charging Cable or the docking station to connect the PA600 with a computer.

NOTE: If a previous version of Microsoft ActiveSync is installed on the computer, uninstall it first, before installing the latest version of Microsoft ActiveSync. The PA600 Rugged Enterprise PDA requires Mircosoft ActiveSync version 4.2 or higher.

Install Microsoft ActiveSync on the computer through the following:

1.Close any open programs, including those that run during startup, and disable any antivirus software.

2.Download the ActiveSync software from the Microsoft ActiveSync Download page at: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/ activesync45.mspx

3.Browse the location of the downloaded file, and double-click it. The installation wizard begins.
