Installing MIDlets from a PC
You can install MIDlets/MIDlet suite onto your Pocket PC Phone from your PC using the USB
sync cable, the optional cradle, infrared, or Bluetooth. MIDlets transferred to your Pocket
PC Phone using infrared, Bluetooth, or as E-mail attachments, are automatically saved in
the My Documents directory.
To install MIDlets via a physical connection (such as USB sync cable or cradle) use Win-
dows Explorer to copy your MIDlet file(s) from your PC to any of the following temporary
directories, from where they can be installed by the MIDlet Manager.
n Device memory: Mobile Device\My Pocket PC Phone\My Documents\My MIDlets
n Storage card: Mobile Device\My Pocket PC Phone\Storage Card\
If the My MIDlets folder does not exist in My Documents, you must create one with exactly
the same folder name. A folder named Storage Card will automatically appear after you
insert the SD card into your Pocket PC Phone.
Once the file(s) have been copied to your Pocket PC Phone or to your Storage Card, you
must install the MIDlet/MIDlets suite:
1. Select Start > Programs > MIDlet Manager > Menu > Install.
2. The Install screen will open, containing a list of all available MIDlets/MIDlet suites.
3. Select one and choose Install from the pop-up menu. You will be prompted to confirm
your choice.
Optionally, you can remove the MIDlet files from the temporary folder you used by selecting
Delete on the pop-up menu.
