12.1 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.

You can find popular software programs

for your device on the Sprint PCS Web site at

http://www.sprintpcs.com.

To add programs using ActiveSync:

You will need to install the appropriate software for your device
on 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 to
select the program designed for the PPC6600 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.

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.

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.

Note:

Once installation is complete, tap

, then select Programs,

and then its program icon.
