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.
2 Read any installation instructions, or documentation that comes with the
program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
3 Connect 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.
n If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that
the program is valid but it is designed for a different type of PC. You will
need to move this file to your device. If you cannot find any installation
instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation, use
ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the Program Files folder
on your device.
Once installation is complete, tap → Programs → and then its program
icon .
