Maintaining the GPS Phone 600

Programs added to your GPS Phone 600 at the factory are stored in ROM (read-only

memory). You cannot remove this software, and you'll never accidentally lose ROM

contents. All other programs and data files added to your GPS Phone 600 after factory

installation are stored in RAM (random access memory).

You can install any program created for your GPS Phone 600, as long as your GPS

Phone 600 has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your GPS

Phone 600 is on the Pocket PC Web site

(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/pocketpc/).

You'll need to install the appropriate software for your GPS Phone 600 on your desktop

computer before installing it on your GPS Phone 600.

1. Programs created for Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PCs are compatible with the GPS

Phone 600, and that many older Pocket PC programs may also run.

2. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, documentation that comes with the

program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

3. Connect your GPS Phone 600 and desktop computer.

4. Double-click the *.exe file.

♦ If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on

the screen. Once the software has been installed on your desktop computer, the

installer will automatically transfer the software to your GPS Phone 600.

♦ If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the

program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer. You will need

to move this file to your GPS Phone 600. If you cannot find any installation

instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation, use

ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the Program Files folder on your

GPS Phone 600. For more information on copying files using ActiveSync, see

ActiveSync Help.

Once installation is complete, tap

switch to it.
