System requirements
On Pocket PCs, your operating system must be:
• Windows CE 3.0 MS Pocket PC, or
• Windows CE 3.0 Pocket PC 2002
Note: If your device is running
Pocket PC, we strongly
recommend you upgrade to
Pocket PC 2002, if possible.
Contact your retailer or manufac-
turer for details. If you do not know what version of Windows CE you are
using, select
Start > Settings , tap the System tab, and tap the
About icon. If the second line on the screen reads, “Windows
3.0.9348 (Build…)”, your operating system is Windows CE 3.0
MS Pocket PC. If the second line reads, “Windows 3.0.11171
(Build…)”, your operating system is Windows CE 3.0 Pocket
PC 2002.
Your Pocket PC must have:
• [2.6] MB of storage memory
• The PCMCIA jacket accessory (with a single PC Card slot)
• A method of connecting to a host computer, using either a
serial autosync cable, USB autosync cable, or infrared ports
You require a desktop or notebook computer to function as the
host that:
• Has the necessary port (serial, USB, or infrared) to connect
to the Pocket PC
• Has a CD-ROM drive
Note: ActiveSync is made by
Microsoft and is included with all
Pocket PCs running Windows
CE 3.0. (It is also available from
the Microsoft web site.)
ActiveSync 3.1 is supported on
Windows 95/95, Windows 2000,
Windows Me, and Windows NT

lation process has these steps:
1. Install the software to the host (a desktop or notebook
computer to function as a host).
