Install custom software applications
Microsoft Active Sync Installation (For Windows XP)
1) Locate a copy of the latest version of Active Sync for your computer system. The correct version
is available from Microsoft’s WEB site or a copy is included on your CD. Version 4.5 is the latest
from Microsoft as of this printing.
2) Look for the installation file (i.e. activesync_setup.msi) and run it. We recommend that you follow
the installation instructions and accept the standard default settings during your install.
3) Leave Active Sync running to install and connect your handheld computer.
NOTE: Some users may use a single PC to connect multiple handheld computers. If this is the case,
it is best to setup your PC to recognize each handheld as a “Guest”. This avoids having Active Sync
loading shared data from your Outlook and other PC applications. To set all connected handhelds as
a Guest, please double-click and run the provided “GuestOnly.reg” file. It will instantly update your
system for future connections.
Windows Mobile Device Center Installation (For Windows Vista or Windows 7)
1) Locate a copy of the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Center for your computer system.
The correct version is available from Microsoft’s WEB site or a copy is included on your CD.

the installation instructions and accept the standard default settings during your install.

Reboot Terminal
Re-Boot Terminal:
Rarely does the CN3 require resetting, but it if does not respond properly, it reset may be necessary.
Perform a warm boot first and see if that fixes the problem. If it does not, then perform a cold boot.

down, restart and go through the initialization process.

CN3 may result in data loss. Configuration and network settings will be preserved.
To Cold Boot, press the Power button to suspend the terminal.

Replace the battery and the CN3 will cold boot:
