Adding and Removing Programs

Additional programs that you purchased can be installed and uninstalled on your device. Your device does
not allow you to uninstall most of the preinstalled programs.

Before you launch the program installer, check first whether the installer can directly run on Windows Mobile
or needs to be run on a computer.

To install a program directly on your device:

1.

If the installer is a .cab file, directly download or copy it to your device.

2.

On your device, open

File Explorer

and navigate to the installer file.

3.

Tap the file to launch the installer.

Tip

If your device is configured to connect to a network, use an alphanumeric password for increased security.

Notes

• To ensure that you can always make emergency calls, do not begin your password with the digits of your

local emergency number.

• If you entered a hint, the hint will be displayed after the wrong password is entered five times.

• Each time a wrong password is entered, the device response time gets longer until the device appears to be

not responding.

• If you forget your password, you can hard reset or clear the device memory. Before you do this, make sure

you back up your data and files so that you can restore them back to your device. For more information about
hard resetting the device and clearing the memory, see “Resetting Your Device” on page 123.

Note

Before you purchase additional programs for your device, make sure that they are compatible with your device.
