Introduction
The Dell™ Axim™ System Upgrade Utility upgrades your Axim to the Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ Version 5.0 software for
Pocket PC Premium Edition operating system. You must run this utility program from your host computer. The utility is
delivered to you on the Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0 for Pocket PC Premium Edition for Upgrading the Pre-Installed
Software on Your Dell Axim X50 CD (also known as the Upgrade CD).
NOTICE:
You must read and understand the following instructions about migrating your data from Windows Mobile
2003 Second Edition to Windows Mobile 5.0 before attempting the upgrade to ensure that you do not lose any of your
files or data.
You cannot use either the Microsoft ActiveSync® backup utility or the Dell Data Backup utility to migrate data from Windows
Mobile 2003 Second Edition to Windows Mobile 5.0 because of differences in the file storage format.
You can use ActiveSync 4.0 from the Windows Mobile Version 5.0 Getting Started CD to back up and restore data using two
methods:
Automatic synchronization – Used for data such as PIM and Microsoft Outlook data
Manual backup – Used to back up files that do not need to be backed up continuously
Overlap exists if you set up your sync options to include other file types. For more information, see "
For more information on Active Sync 4.0, see "
NOTE:
Pocket_PC is the default name of your Axim and is used, for example, when the folder for automatically
synchronized files is created on your desktop; that is, Pocket_PC My Documents. After you change the name, the new
name is used; for example, YourName My Documents.
NOTE:
Not all software and peripherals that you may be running on your Axim X50/X50v with Microsoft Mobile
2003 Second Edition are compatible with the upgrade operating system (Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0).
Please contact the software and peripherals manufacturers to ensure compatibility with Microsoft Windows Mobile
Version 5.0 before executing the upgrade.
