Connection management software
To install software onto a Windows Mobile powered device, or to copy files between
the handheld and a computer, you must connect the device to an office computer. If
the computer is running:
•
the Windows Vista operating system, use the Windows Mobile Device Center to
manage the connection.
•
the Windows XP or 2000 operating system, use Microsoft ActiveSync technology
to manage the connection.
Note –
You must install the Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync technology onto
the computer before you connect the handheld.
This connection management software also enables you to synchronize office
applications on your computer with your handheld.
C
CAUTION – The available space on the handheld is small compared to an office computer.
To avoid accidentally synchronizing the handheld with a large amount of data on your
office computer, Trimble recommends that you either connect to the handheld without
forming a partnership, or that you limit the information types and amount of data that
is synchronized.
C
CAUTION – Synchronizing data is designed to keep the same data on both the office
computer and the handheld. Exercise care when resynchronizing applications after
deleting data from one computer, as resynchronizing will delete the same information
from the other computer.
