STEP 3: Install the Software
Should I install Socket’s WhereAreYou? software?
You have two options for software installation:
Option 1: Skip software installation.
Windows CE-based mobile computers come with a generic built-in modem
driver. For basic operation of the modem card, you can use the built-in
driver and skip software installation. If you plan to use your device’s built-
in drivers, then proceed to Step 4 to insert the modem card into your device.
Option 2: Install Socket’s enhanced software.
You can use the modem card with Socket’s WhereAreYou? software, which
is enhanced with the features listed below. If you do not need these
features, skip software installation.
A task tray icon that makes it easy to check if you have a good
connection
An applet that reports your connection time
An applet that lets you program the modem card to work in any
country
Software Installation
If you have not installed the software yet, follow the steps below. Make
sure to install the software BEFORE inserting the modem card.
1. Make an active connection between the mobile computer and a host PC.
An active connection exists if data can move between the host PC and
mobile computer via a serial/USB/Ethernet connection cable or cradle.
2. Insert the Socket 56K Modem Installation CD into the host PC.
3. Use My Computer or Windows Explorer to access your CD-ROM drive.

host PC. Soft reset the mobile computer by pressing the reset button.
Important! Make sure you soft reset your mobile computer by pressing
the reset button!
Pocket PC 2003 only: Do not soft reset the device when a Socket card is
inserted, or application errors may occur. If errors occur, remove the

CHAPTER 2: SETUP FOR WINDOWS CE | 9
STEP 4: Insert the Card

may want to use it now to set up the modem card for your
country. You must start this process BEFORE inserting the
card. For instructions, go to page 32.
Insert the 56K Modem Card into your mobile computer, with the gray label
on top. If using a PC Card slot, first plug the card into a CompactFlash-to-
PC Card adapter.

When you insert the card, the Power and Data Status LEDs will blink then
turn off.

2000/2002/2003, and Handheld PC devices. In the following pages, find the
instructions for your specific type of Windows CE-based mobile computer.
You will need your dial-up information for this step. For most devices, this
