Section 2: Installing the PCS Connection Card
28 2B: Installation on Handheld and Pocket PCs
Getting Started
Since software cannot be installed directly to a Handheld/Pocket PC, you
require a desktop or notebook computer to function as a “host”. The
installation, activation, and configuration process follows these steps:
1.
Install the software to the host.
2.
Connect the Handheld/Pocket PC to the host and download the
software from the host to the Handheld/Pocket PC. (You can connect
the Handheld/Pocket PC to the host before or after you install the
software to the host.)
3.
If the card has not been pre-activated, use the Sprint Activation
Wizard to configure the card.
Before you begin the installation, ensure you have the necessary
hardware, software, and system resources described in the next section.

The minimum system requirements for both Pocket PCs and Handheld PCs
(as well as their host computers) are as follows:
