You can add even more functionality to your V37 by installing additional 
software and programs. A wide variety of software is available for Windows 
Powered Pocket PCs, ranging from custom business applications and system 
utilities to games and entertainment. Some programs are available from 
software vendors or on the Web.
Install only programs designed specifically to run on a Pocket PC personal 
digital assistant and/or a Windows Powered Pocket PC. You cannot run 
programs designed for Windows on your V37. In addition, you may need a 
version of the program designed specifically for the X-Scale processor used by 
your V37.
Install software to your V37 by first loading the installation files onto your PC. 
Use ActiveSync on your PC to transfer and install programs to the storage 
memory (RAM) in your V37.

To remove a program:
)On the Start menu, tap Settings.
*On the System tab, tap Remove Programs.
Select the program in the list, and then tap Remove.
NOTE: If the program does not appear in the list of installed programs, use 
File Explorer on your V37. Locate the program, press and hold the stylus on 
the program, and then tap Delete on the pop-up menu.

To prevent loss of data, you should back up your V37 frequently. Your V37 
comes with two programs for backing up data:
•Microsoft ActiveSync. ActiveSync enables you to back up data to your PC. 
You can back up all data on your V37, or only your PIM databases (Calendar, 
Contacts, and Tasks). You can set ActiveSync to back up automatically each 
time you connect, or you can back up manually, whenever you choose. For 
more information, see ActiveSync Help on your PC.
•Backup. Backup enables you to back up all data stored in the internal 
(RAM) memory on your V37. You can save the backup file on an optional 
Secure Digital memory card.
,


Backup gives you added flexibility in backing up your valuable data. With 
Backup, you can back up all data in RAM. You can save the backup file to an 
optional SD memory card, so you can safeguard your data even while you are 
traveling or away from your PC.
NOTE: An internal storage device called “My Flash Disk” is included. When 
using Backup, you can choose this disk as your target backup device.




)Close all running applications and insert a memory card.
*Disconnect your V37 from your PC.
On the Start menu on your V37, tap Programs and then tap the Backup 
icon.
/Ta p  Backup,thentapNext.
0Tap your preference of storage media for backing up your data, then tap 
Next.
1Tap the item you want to back up, then tap Next.
Ta p  Backup, then tap Yes to start the backup process.
8Remove the memory card after the backup is complete.
CAUTION:
• Never delete the backup file in the memory card. If the backup file is 
deleted, the backup data will be lost and cannot be restored.
• When you use the backup file to restore information, information on 
your V37 is replaced with the information stored in the backup file. 
If you have created files on your V37 since the last backup and do 
not want to delete these files during the restore process, move the 
files from your V37 to your PC--or to an optional memory card--
before restoring the information.

This chapter tells you what the Microsoft ActiveSync program is and what you 
need to do to use it.
,



	

NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your V37. You need to install 
ActiveSync on your PC. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see Step 5 of 
the Quick Start procedure in Chapter 1, “Installing Microsoft ActiveSync.”) 
Microsoft ActiveSync allows you to synchronize the information on your PC with 
information on your V37. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides 
and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example, 
you can:
• Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks databases up-to 
date by synchronizing your V37 with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
IMPORTANT: Outlook must be installed on your PC in order to synchronize 
your email data.
• Synchronize email messages in your V37 Inbox with email messages in 
Microsoft Outlook on your PC.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your V37 and 
PC. Your files will be automatically converted to the correct format.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your V37 data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your V37 and PC.
• Add and remove programs on your V37. 
						

							/
6
Once you have created a synchronization partnership and completed the first 
synchronization, you can initiate synchronization from your V37. Follow this 
procedure:
)Connect your V37 to your PC. (See “Connecting Your PC” in Chapter 1.)
*On your V37, tap , and then tap ActiveSync.
Tap   to begin synchronization.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of 
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for 
specific information types. You can:
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. 
For example, you can synchronize continually while the V37 is connected or 
only when you choose the synchronize command.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data 
is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past 
appointments you want synchronized.
For information on setting ActiveSync options and using ActiveSync on your PC, 
see ActiveSync Help on the PC. For information on using ActiveSync in your 
V37, see ActiveSync Help on the V37.

CAUTION: Do not shut down or restart your PC while your V37 is 
connected. Turn off your V37 or disconnect the USB cable before you 
shut down your PC. 


,

CAUTION: Before you connect your V37 to the cradle, be sure of the 
following: your PC is on, you have installed ActiveSync on your PC, and 
ActiveSync is configured to allow a USB connection.
You can keep your V37 in the cradle when you are not carrying it with you, 
which keeps it charged and synchronized.
For instructions on connecting, see “Installing Microsoft ActiveSync”  in Chapter 
1.

You can use the IR port to synchronize data with your PC, in place of using the 
cable.
IR ports can be found on many notebook computers; however, on a PC, you 
may need to install and configure an IR port. To install the port, follow the 
manufacturer’s instructions.
For complete instructions on connecting to your PC by infrared, refer to 
ActiveSync Help on your PC.
