• Copy a .CAB file to the mobile computer and launch the file.
To install UConnect via downloading individual files:
1. Download the UConnect files from the Symbol website, http://devzone.symbol.com, to the host computer.
a. On http://devzone.symbol.com, select Developer Downloads and sign in.
b. Select PocketPC/WinCE/CE.Net Platform.
c. Select MC50 (Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC.

To install UConnect via the .CAB file:
1. Download the UConnect .CAB file from the Symbol website, http://devzone.symbol.com, to the host computer.
