Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to your CN30 Mobile Computer at the factory are stored
in ROM (Read Only Memory). You cannot remove this software, and you
cannot accidentally lose ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated
usingspecial installation programs with a*.XIPextension. All other programs
and data files added to your CN30 Mobile Computer after factory installa-
tion are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory).
You can install any program created for your CN30 Mobile Computer, as
long as your CN30 Mobile Computer has enough memory. The most pop-
ular place to find software for your CN30 Mobile Computer is on the Win-
dows Mobile Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/
resources/ communities/default.mspx).

you know which version of the software to install. Tap Start > Settings
>the System tab > About >the Version tab, then make a note of the infor-
mation in Processor.

*.EXE, or *.ZIP file, a SETUP.EXE file, or several versions of files for dif-
ferent CN30 Mobile Computer types and processors. Be sure to select
the program designed for the Windows Mobile and your CN30 Mobile
Computer processor type.

that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installa-
tion instructions.

5Double-click the *.EXE file.
If the file is an installer, the installation wizard begins. Follow the direc-
tions on the screen. Once the software is installed, the installer automati-
cally transfers the software to your CN30 Mobile Computer.
If the file is not an installer, an error message stating that the program is
valid but it is designed for a different type of computer is displayed.
Move this file to your CN30 Mobile Computer. If you cannot find any
installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or docu-
mentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the Pro-
gram Files folder on your CN30 Mobile Computer. For more
information on copying files using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.
Once installation is complete, tap Start > Programs, and then the program
