9.4.7 Linking A WORKABOUT PRO To A PC
The desktop docking station can be connected to a PC so that you can exchange files
in the same way that you would between PC drives. A USB cable is included with
your docking station.
To link the WORKABOUT PRO to a PC:
• Insert the hand-held in the desktop docking station.
• Insert the USB cable into the docking station Client USB connector. Attach
the other end of the cable to a USB port on the PC.
You’ll need to install connectivity software on your PC before you can pass
information between the hand-held and the PC.
