Adding a program directly from the Internet

1. Determine that your Pocket PC Phone and processor type meet the requirements of the

software that you want to install.

2. Download the program to your Pocket PC Phone directly from the Internet using Pocket

Internet Explorer. You should see a single

*.xip, *.exe, *.cab, 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 Pocket PC Phone.

3. Read the installation instructions, ReadMe files, and other documentation that came with

the program.

4. Tap the filename (such as a

*.xip or *.exe file, etc.). The installation wizard will begin.

Follow the directions on the screen.

Removing programs

You can only remove programs that you previously installed in storage memory. Programs

that came with your device cannot be removed. You can quickly return your device to the

factory default configuration by clearing all memory. All data, except the installed ROM

application, will be lost.

Select

Start > Settings > System tab > Remove Programs. Programs in storage memory

will be listed in the

Remove Programs screen. Select the one you want to remove, then

tap the

Remove button.

Managing Memory

Memory on your Pocket PC Phone is shared between the storage memory and the program

memory. Storage memory is used to store the information you have created and the pro-

grams you have installed. Program memory is used to run programs on your Pocket PC

Phone. The Pocket PC Phone automatically manages the allocation between the storage

memory and the program memory. To view memory allocation and availability, tap

Start >

Settings > System tab > Memory.

In certain situations, such as when the memory is low, your Pocket PC Phone may not be

able to automatically adjust the memory allocation. When you receive a message stating

that storage or program memory is unavailable, try the following solutions.
