Connecting to a PC
Using a PDA to control the MPC unit allows to store all data in the PDA
memory, and transfer them to a PC for processing or reporting.
1.- Install Microsoft ActiveSync
TM
. The Software can be downloaded from
Microsoft
TM
website. This program is the PDA connection manager.
2.- Connect the PDA to the PC. This connection can be done using the USB
cable included, or using a Bluetooth link
3.- ActiveSync

option to synchronize several items (address book, e-mails, files). Pressing
“Cancel” will allow only to exchange files with the PDA (but this is enough
for our purpose)
4.- Open a file browser (like “Explorer”), and browse the “My PC” item. A
“Mobile device” item should appear. This “Mobile device” item is the PDA
memory, browse it, and copy the report files to the hard disk of the PC
5.- Once the file is on the PC hard disk, you are able to open it with any
software for editing, processing or reporting.
