Connecting to your PC

Connecting your PDA to a PC lets you transfer your data files and re-
install or upgrade the SunData application on your PDA.
The following guidance is specific for the Nomad 900 PDA. Other
PDA's may have different requirements and procedures.
Connectivity software is pre-installed on your PDA.
You will need to install connectivity software on your PC using the CD
supplied with the PDA. This will automatically launch what is needed for
your PC depending on the operation system (OS).
Windows XP SP3 or earlier: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 or greater is
required. (Microsoft Office Outlook 2000 and older is not supported by
ActiveSync 4.5.) NOTE: If you have an earlier version of ActiveSync
installed on your PC, you need
to upgrade to version 4.5 prior
to connecting to your unit. Go
to www.microsoft.com and
search for ActiveSync.
Windows Vista & Windows

Device Center may be pre-
installed on your PC. If it is not
on your PC, go to
www.microsoft.com and search for Windows Mobile Device Center to
install it. NOTE: It does not
recognize the serial port. You
must connect by either USB
or Bluetooth.
