The unitech PA982 enables users to link to a host computer using an RS-232, IrDA, or
WLAN connection for data communication. This chapter provides an overview of
PA982 communication options.
Establishing Device-PC Connection
Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
In order to exchange data between your computer and the PA982, Microsoft Active-
Sync must be installed on your computer. Use the RS232 serial/charging cable that
comes with your device or the docking station to connect the device to your computer.
NOTE: If you have a previous version of the Microsoft ActiveSync installed in
your computer, uninstall it first before installing the latest version of
Microsoft ActiveSync. The PA982 Ultra Rugged Mobile Computer
requires ActiveSync version 4.2 or higher.
To install Microsoft ActiveSync on your computer:
1. Close any open programs, including those that run at startup, and disable any
virus-scanning software.
2. Download the ActiveSync software from the Microsoft ActiveSync Download
page at

3. Browse to the location of the downloaded file, and double-click it.
