Initial Install

Initial installation / relationship must be established using serial RS232 or USB cable connection between the MX8 and the
desktop/laptop (PC). Once a relationship has been established, tap Start > Help > ActiveSync for help.

Install ActiveSync on Desktop/Laptop

Install ActiveSync (or Windows Mobile Device Center) using the Getting Started Disc. The Getting Started screen should
automatically display when the CD is inserted in the PC. If it does not, browse to the CD and click on Start.exe.
Select Setup and Installation. Click on ActiveSync to install ActiveSync on your PC.
Alternatively, you can go to the Microsoft Windows website and locate the ActiveSync download.
Follow the instructions in the ActiveSync Wizard.
Check that Start > Programs > ActiveSync > Connections has the correct connection selected. Refer to "Serial
Connection" or "USB Connection". Note that USB is the default connection type.
When installation of ActiveSync is complete on your PC, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard on the PC begins and it begins
searching for a connected device.
Because ActiveSync is already installed on your mobile device, your first synchronization process begins automatically when
you finish setting up your PC in the ActiveSync wizard and, using the USB cable, connect your mobile device to the PC.

USB Connection

Tap the Start > Settings > ActiveSync > Connections on the MX8. From the popup list, choose USB.
