74 Using the desktop software — Loading handheld applications
To add new software
1. Place your handheld in the cradle and connect it to your PC. In
the Desktop Manager, double-click Application Loader. The
Welcome to Application Loader window appears. The
handheld must be connected before you can load new software.
2. Click Next to start the process of loading new software onto
your handheld. An Initialization Progress dialog box appears
on your PC to indicate that the Application Loader is
connecting to your handheld and is reading your handheld's
configuration. At the same time, your handheld's LCD will
read "Loader activity...". Wait until initialization is complete
and the dialog box disappears. The Optional Application
Selection window appears, displaying the applications that you
can choose to download to your handheld.
3. Select the check boxes next to the names of the applications you
want to load and click Next. The Existing Data Preservation
window appears.
WARNING
4. In the Application Data section, select the check box if you
want to delete the information on your handheld (including
your messages and address book entries). If you select this
check box, ensure that any important information is backed up
first. In the Applications section, select the check box if you
wish to erase the applications from your handheld before
loading updated ones. You should select this option if you are
loading applications after a failed load operation. Click Next to
continue.
Installation and User's Guide
Any applications that do not have a checkmark beside them
will be erased from the handheld (even if you have them
currently loaded).
