Downloading the software to the Pocket PC
Warning: Download the AirCard
software before inserting the
AirCard into your Pocket PC.
1. Connect the Pocket PC to the host in one of these ways:
· Connect one end of the serial cable to the bottom of the
Pocket PC and the other end to a serial port on your host
PC, or
· Place your Pocket PC in its cradle and connect the USB
cable on the cradle to a USB port on your host PC, or
· Align the infrared port on your Pocket PC with an
infrared port on your host PC.
Note: If you are unable to
establish a connection, launch
ActiveSync from the Start menu
and use the online help in
ActiveSync.
ActiveSync should launch automatically when the host
and Pocket PC are connected.
2. If you are prompted to indicate whether you want to set
up a partnership, click
Yes or No and click Next. (For the
purpose of downloading the AirCard software, it does not
matter whether you have a partnership.) You should then
be prompted that there is software to download.
3. In the Installing Applications window, click
Yes to start the
download. When complete, you will be prompted to check
your mobile device screen to see if additional steps are
required.
4. Click
OK.
5. Reset your Pocket PC by inserting the stylus into the reset
button. (The reset button is usually a circular indentation
that may be on the bottom of the Pocket PC. Consult the
documentation that came with your PC if you do not know
how to reset the device. Simply turning the device off and
on is not sufficient.)
