Data Transfer Between The PC & The Hand-Held
20 WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows CE 5.0 User Manual
2.6 Data Transfer Between The PC & The Hand-Held
Data transfer options vary slightly depending on the type of operating system
installed in your PC. Microsoft
®
ActiveSync
®
is PC connectivity software that can
be used to connect your hand-held to PCs running this software. ActiveSync works
only with the Windows XP SP2 operating system or earlier.
If the Microsoft
®
Vista
®
operating system is installed in your PC, ActiveSync is not
required to transfer data between your WORKABOUT PRO and your PC.
By connecting the WORKABOUT PRO to a PC with a cable, you can:
• View WORKABOUT PRO files from Windows Explorer.
• Drag and drop files between the WORKABOUT PRO and the PC in the
same way that you would between PC drives.
• Back up WORKABOUT PRO files to the PC, then restore them from the
PC to the hand-held again, if needed, and so on.
2.6.1 Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®
To install ActiveSync, follow the step-by-step instructions provided with the
program’s setup wizard. Refer to the following website for details:
