Adding or Removing Programs
By default, programs added to your device at the factory are stored in the ROM (read only
memory). You cannot remove these programs, 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 web site to find software for SX66 devices is http:
//www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc .
To add programs using ActiveSync:
You will need to save the appropriate software to the hard drive of your PC before installing
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 that the program is compatible with your SX66 before installing it.
2. Read any installation instruction or documentation that came with the program. Many
programs provide their own installation instructions.
3. Connect your device to a PC.
4. Double click on the program's .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 was 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 the Explore command in ActiveSync to explore the program file
to the Program Files folder on your device.
Once installation is completed, tap the Start menu > Programs > program icon.
To add a program directly from the Internet :
1. Determine that your device and processor type meets the requirement of the software that
you want to install.
2. Download the program to your device directly from the Internet using Pocket Internet
Explorer . You should see a single *.xip , *.exe or *.zip file, a setup.exe file, or several
versions of the files for different device types and processors. Be sure to select the program
designed for the SX66.
3. Read the installation instructions, readme files, or documentation that came with the program.
4. Tap the file, such as a *.xip or *.exe file. The installation wizard will begin. Follow the
directions on the screen.
