Connection management software
To install software onto a device powered by a Windows Mobile operating system, or to
copy files between the handheld and a computer, you must connect the device to an
office computer. If the computer is running:
• the Windows 7 or Windows Vista
®
operating system, use the Windows Mobile
Device Center to manage the connection.
• the Windows
®
XP or 2000 operating system, use ActiveSync technology to
manage the connection.
Note – You must install the Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync technology onto
the computer before you connect the handheld.
This connection management software also enables you to synchronize office
applications on an office computer with the handheld.
C
CAUTION – The available space on the handheld is small compared to an office computer.
To avoid accidentally synchronizing the handheld with a large amount of data on the
office computer, Trimble recommends that you either connect to the handheld without
forming a partnership, or that you limit the information types and amount of data that
is synchronized.
C
CAUTION – Synchronizing data is designed to keep the same data on both the office
computer and the handheld. Exercise care when resynchronizing applications after
deleting data from one computer, as resynchronizing will delete the same information
from the other computer.

• Managing the connection using ActiveSync technology, page 53.

driver for devices powered by a Windows Mobile operating system. This driver allows
you to transfer files from the handheld to an office computer.

must install Windows Mobile Device Center 6 onto an office computer.
