Microsoft Money*
* Available for English operating systems only.
Use Microsoft Money to easily enter and view your financial transactions, check your 
account balances, and track your investments. If you are using Microsoft Money on your 
computer, you should synchronize first so that you won’t have to enter your accounts and 
other required information on your iPAQ H3000 by hand. Before you can synchronize, 
you will need to run the Setup program found in the MSMoney folder under Extras on the 
ActiveSync CD. The first time you synchronize, all Microsoft Money information on the 
iPAQ H3000 will be replaced with information from your computer. If you do not use 
Microsoft Money on your computer, Microsoft Money on the iPAQ H3000 can still be 
used to help organize your finances, but you will not be able to synchronize the financial 
information with your computer.
