Chapter 4: Connecting to a PC
Connect the S7 series handheld to a PC to transfer information, settings and files from one
device to the other, or to install software onto the handheld.
You can connect the handheld to a PC using the USB cable or a Bluetooth wireless link.
To protect your data STONEX recommends that you regularly copy important data to the PC.
4.1. Connection management software
To install software onto a device powered by the Windows Mobile operating system or to
copy files between the handheld and a PC you must connect the device to a PC. If the
computer is running:

Windows 7 or Windows Vista
®
operating system, use the Windows Mobile Device
Center (WMDC) to manage the connection.

Windows
®
XP or 2000 operating system, use ActiveSync technology to manage the
connection.
Note:
You must install the Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync technology onto the
computer before you connect the handheld.
This connection management software also enables you to synchronize Desktop office
applications on with the handheld.
Note:
The available space on the handheld is small compared to a PC. To avoid accidentally
synchronizing the handheld with a large amount of data on a PC, STONEX recommends that
you either connect to the handheld without forming a partnership, or that you limit the
information types and amount of data that is synchronized.
Note: Synchronizing data is designed to keep the same data on both the PC and the handheld.
Exercise care when resynchronizing applications after deleting data from one computer, as
resynchronizing will delete the same information from the other computer.
