4.6 INSTALLING PROGRAMS
Programs pre-installed on the device are stored in ROM (read only memory). You cannot
remove, or modify this software. You may add programs and data files to RAM (random
access memory) or into memory card. Please follow the directions provided with the
software to install it.
4.6.1 Using an Installation Wizard
If the file has an installer, the installation wizard begins. Follow the directions on the screen.
Once the software is installed on your desktop computer, the installer transfers the
software to your terminal automatically.

is designed for a different type of computer.

device. Make a note of the information in the processor field.
