Communication
Your unit may offer multiple methods of communication with
other devices as described below. Not all the features apply to
every unit, as some of the features are offered as options. If the
feature described does not apply to your unit, please disregard that
section.
Connecting to a PC
Connecting your unit to a PC allows you to copy files,
synchronize information, send and receive e-mail and install
applications on your unit. Connectivity software is pre-installed
on your handheld unit.
You will need to install connectivity software on your PC using
the Getting Started CD that will automatically launch what is
needed for your PC depending on the operating system (OS).
Windows XP SP2 or earlier:
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5.
(Microsoft Office Outlook 2000 and older is not supported by
ActiveSync 4.5.) NOTE: If you have an earlier version of
ActiveSync installed on your PC, you will need to upgrade it
to version 4.5 or greater prior to connecting to your unit.
Windows Vista:
Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center
ensures that synchronization will work correctly. NOTE: It
does not recognize the serial port. You must connect by either
USB or Bluetooth.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect
your unit to the USB port on the
PC until
after
you install connectivity software to your PC. If you
prematurely connect the unit to your PC, your PC USB drivers
may get into a confused state and will not connect. If you suspect
that something like this has happened, uninstall the connectivity
software on your PC, reboot, and reinstall.
After the connectivity software is installed on the PC, connect the
unit to the PC:
1) Connect the USB end of the synchronization cable to the PC.
2) Turn on your unit.
3) Connect the mini-USB end of the cable to your unit.
