Tip – If the GPS Pathfinder Office software is installed on the office computer, you can
configure the Connection Manager utility in the GPS Pathfinder Office software to
automatically detect when you connect a GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld to the
computer. This enables you to automatically transfer data from the TerraSync software,
differentially correct the data, and then export it to a GIS. For more information, refer to
the GPS Pathfinder Office Software Help.
Installing software onto the handheld
Before you begin, refer to the installation instructions provided with the software.
Some software installations are specifically designed to run on a device powered by a
Windows Mobile operating system. To install software that has a Windows Mobile
installation setup:
1. Connect the handheld to a computer (see page 57).
2. Copy the installation files to a folder on the handheld.
3. Browse to the folder on the handheld. Tap and hold the installation setup file
and then select Run.
4. If prompted after installation, perform a soft reset of the handheld (see page 33).
To install software that is provided on a CD, or as an installation setup that runs on an
office computer:
1. Connect the handheld to a computer (see page 57).
2. If the software is provided on a CD, insert the software CD into the office
computer.
3. Run the installation setup.
4. If prompted, select the install option for a device powered by a Windows Mobile
operating system. Once the software is installed on the computer, it is
automatically transferred to the handheld.
Note – If a storage card is inserted in the handheld, the card appears as an installation
location option. Trimble recommends that you install software to the handheld’s internal
storage, not to a storage card. If you install software to a card and then remove the card
from the handheld, the software will not be available for use.
5. If prompted after installation, perform a soft reset of the handheld (see page 33).
