Establishing Device-PC Connection
Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
In order to exchange data between your computer and the RH767, Microsoft ActiveSync
must be installed on your computer. Use the RS232 serial/charging cable that comes with
your device or the docking station to connect the device to your computer.
NOTE:
If you have a previous version of the Microsoft ActiveSync installed in your computer,

scanning software.

3. Browse to the location of the downloaded file, and double-click it. The installation wizard
begins.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to install Microsoft ActiveSync.
