Using an Installation Wizard
If the file has an installer, the installation wizard begins automatically if you have Active-
Sync installed. Most installation programs require an ActiveSync connection. (Refer to
"Installing & Setting Up Microsoft ActiveSync" on page
4-1 .)
Follow the directions on the screen. Once the software is installed on your desktop com-
puter, the installer transfers the software to your Pegaso.
Installing Programs Manually
To quickly install programs on multiple units, use the Falcon Management Utility
(
FMU
). For more information, refer to page 2-13 .
If the file does not contain an installer, an error mes-
sage indicates the program is valid but is designed
for a different type of computer.

files, or other files designed for the Pegaso.
