Establishing a Connection with your PC

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can connect a desktop com-
puter to your MobileMapper CE handheld via the USB data ca-
ble. This allows you to install software and transfer files to/
from MobileMapper CE.

To connect to a PC:

1. Install ActiveSync on the desktop computer. (Microsoft 

ActiveSync is included on the MobileMapper CE Compan-
ion CD. You may also download it from the Microsoft web 
site at www.microsoft.com/mobile/downloads/active-
sync.asp).

2. Attach the I/O module to the MobileMapper CE handheld. 

Connect the USB data cable to the USB port (the mini-
connector) on the I/O module (see opposite).

3. Connect the other end of the USB data cable to a USB 

port on the desktop computer.

4. Follow the ActiveSync instructions to establish a connec-

tion.

 

Installing Software

Once the connection is established with a PC using Active-
Sync, you may install any supported software you need. It is 
very important to make sure you install your program in the 
non-volatile memory, under “MyDevice” or on an SD card.

Installing off-the-shelf Windows CE software: Please refer to 
the software documentation for more information and detailed 
instructions.
