Windows Mobile & Windows CE Setup
You can install driver software by running the CD-ROM setup program on your Windows
computer (desktop or notebook) and it will be queued for automatic transfer to your
Windows Mobile device during the next sync operation. Advanced users may optionally skip
this installation method and install the driver from a CAB file.
IMPORTANT: Your Windows Mobile device must have a USB host controller (the SoMo™ 650 Handheld
Computer from Socket Mobile has a USB host controller). Your device also needs a way to connect to
the USB Type A connector on the USB-to-Serial Adapter (the SoMo™ 650 docking cradle has two USB
Type A ports). Other compatible mobile devices may need a mini-USB to USB Type A connector
adapter.
INSTALLATION
Follow these steps to install the driver for Microsoft® Windows Mobile or Windows CE
1. Do not connect the USB-to-Serial Adapter to your mobile device until after the driver
has been installed, otherwise you will see a dialog box for “Unidentified USB Device”. If
this happens simply disconnect your USB-to-Serial adapter and dismiss the dialog
2. Connect your mobile device to your Windows computer
Note: If your mobile device is a Socket SoMo 650 we recommend using the docking
cradle, which has two USB ports on the back that are compatible with the USB-to-Serial
Adapter. Connect the external power supply to the cradle to ensure sufficient power
for the cradle’s USB ports. Alternately, you may use Socket Y-Cable HC1617-797.
