8 Connecting the Handheld Computer to a Desktop PC
8.1 Windows Mobile Device Center
Due to recent changes/updates to the Windows operating system, some PCs may no longer have
permission to access the Windows Mobile Device Center program which is necessary to communicate
with a Windows Mobile Handheld via a USB data cable. If your PC does not recognize the handheld
when it is plugged into a USB port with the provided data cable, you will need to use the following
work-around to add/remove files from the handheld.
• Use a USB flash drive inserted into the handheld to add or remove files by viewing them with file
explorer and copying/pasting them in the desired directory.
o If your handheld does not have a dedicated USB port, you may use the onboard storage card
(SD/Micro SD) in the same manner.
