Juno Series Handhelds User Guide 43
Connecting to an office computer
Connect the Juno series handheld to an office computer to transfer information,
settings, and files from one device to the other, or to install software onto the handheld.
You can connect the handheld to a computer using the USB cable or a Bluetooth
wi
reless link.
C
CAUTION – When using the USB port at the bottom of the handheld, make sure that it is
kept dry. Water damage may cause the USB connection to fail and the handheld will not
connect to the office computer.
To protect your data, Trimble recommends that you regularly copy important data to
an office computer.
Connection management software
To install software onto a Windows embedded handheld, or to copy files between the
handheld and a computer, you must connect the device to an office computer. If the
computer is running:
• the Windows 7 or Windows Vista
®
operating system, use the Windows Mobile
Device Center to manage the connection.
• the Windows
®
XP or 2000 operating system, use ActiveSync technology to
manage the connection.
Note – Y
ou must install the Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync technology onto
the computer before you connect the handheld.
This connection management software also enables you to synchronize office
ap
plications on an office computer with the handheld.
C
CAUTION – The available space on the handheld is small compared to an office computer.
To avoid accidentally synchronizing the handheld with a large amount of data on the
office computer, Trimble recommends that you either connect to the handheld without
forming a partnership, or that you limit the information types and amount of data that
is synchronized.
C
CAUTION – Synchronizing data is designed to keep the same data on both the office
computer and the handheld. Exercise care when resynchronizing applications after
deleting data from one computer, as resynchronizing will delete the same information
from the other computer.
