1. SIM Installation (USE Caution here)
The first step is to install the SIM. Remove the battery (you may need to lift a

place (replace the Mylar cover, if applicable)
2. GSMDemo Installation

there, you will need to obtain it from the software download site at Symbol
(http://devzone.symbol.com), and install it on the handheld device ActiveSync.
The purpose of this is to verify your environment. This software will enable you to
verify that the device can connect and establish the proper settings.
