Installing Additional Software

Dolphin terminals ship with the operating system, radio drivers, and custom Hand Held Products software loaded onto the device.
These are the default programs that install when your terminal first boots up. You can install additional software programs to the
terminal provided that the following parameters are met:
• The software program was created for a Windows Mobile device.
• The terminal has enough memory to store and run the program.
• The program has an *.exe, *.cab, or *.dll extension.
The most popular place to find software on the Windows Mobile website:
! When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the Windows Mobile 5.0 and the
terminal's processor. You can verify your processor by tapping Start > Settings > System tab > About > Version tab. Make a note
of the information in the Processor field.
To install additional software, you can use the communication options described in this chapter.
