5.1 Loading the Program
The following program files should be loaded to the PDA:
These files can loaded using the HotSync operation or by any other means (such as IR beaming or copying
from SD card). The GPRS application is identified by the Motorola logo.

setup need only be performed once, using the following steps:
5.3 Running the Program
Before you execute the GSM-GPRS program, you must connect the PDA and the Motorola phone.
Both the PDA and the Motorola phone come with serial (RS-232) cables for connection to a desktop
computer. These cables are used to connect them to each other. However, both of these cables have 9-pin
female connectors, so you need a null modem male-to-male connector to connect them to each other. A
null modem connector can be obtained from most consumer electronics stores.
Once you connect the PDA and the phone, you can launch the GSM-GPRS program by clicking the
program icon. As soon as the program is active, the PDA displays the screen shown in Figure 1 on page 3.
From this screen, three operations are possible, as described in the following sections:
