2.10.2 Using Windows Mobile Device Center
If you are running
Windows Vista
or
Windows 7
, your data transfers do not require Active-
Sync. Instead, you will need to download
Windows Mobile Device Center
. Refer to the
instructions at the following website
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
To transfer data between your PC and your hand-held:
•
Tap on
Start>Computer
to display the drives. Omnii will be visible here.
•
Open drives, files and folders as you would on your PC.
Note: If you use a serial port to connect devices like Omnii to your desktop computer, the
connection may not succeed because ActiveSync has trouble connecting at non-
default baud rates.
To work around this problem, set the ActiveSync baud rate on the desktop to use the
same baud rate as the device. You can set the baud rate by editing the registry on the
desktop host computer, as detailed in the steps outlined at the following website:
