CONNECTING TO OTHER COMPUTERS

There is more than one way to connect the Skorpio X3 to a host PC running
Windows. Each requires specific connections in order to function properly.
4.7.1 Windows Mobile® Device Center
The desktop application Windows Mobile® Device Center gives you the ability to
synchronize information between a desktop computer and your Skorpio X3.
Synchronization compares the data on the Skorpio X3 with that on the desktop
computer and updates both with the most recent information.
Windows Mobile® Device Center can be downloaded from Microsoft website
www.microsoft.com. It is only compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7; if you
run Windows XP or earlier, you have to download Microsoft ActiveSync.
You can establish a connection to your Skorpio X3 through the following interfaces:
−
USB either directly or through the Single Dock
−
RS232 either directly or through the Single Dock
−
Bluetooth® (see par. 4.7.2)
To establish a partnership between the Skorpio X3 and a host PC, start Windows
Mobile® Device Center and follow the steps below:
1. Connect the Skorpio X3 to the host PC. Windows Mobile® Device Center
configures itself and then opens.
2. On the license agreement screen, click Accept.
3. On the Windows Mobile® Device Center's Home screen, click Set up your
device.
4. Select the information types that you want to synchronize, then click Next.
5. Enter a device name and click Set Up.
When you finish the setup wizard, Windows Mobile® Device Center synchronizes the
mobile computer automatically. Microsoft® Office Outlook® emails and other
information will appear on your device after synchronization.
