Downloading to the PDA (Slower Method)

*This method is only recommended for users that have older model Compact Flash scanners with flexible backs that can become defective with frequent removal. Users should download directly to the SD if possible, for the fastest and smoothest experience.

Downloading to the PDA directly requires either Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista/Win7) installed on the PC before performing the download. Users should go to www.asellertool.com/support/Win7.htm for Windows Mobile Device Center installation.

Connect the PDA to the PC and make sure it shows ‘Connected’ in Windows Mobile Device Center.

PC Downloader After Completing a Download

To use the new database correctly, please:

• Soft reset the PDA by pressing the stylus into the rest hole on the back of the device, above the battery cover. Alternatively, you can do so through the Asellertool program by tapping ‘Menu’, and then ‘Soft Reset’.

• Once the PDA has fully soft reset into Asellertool, attempt a few test scans to see if data appears. If data appears after each test scan, the download has been completed successfully.

!It is important to always soft reset the PDA and test the data after a download so our program can read the new database correctly. We also recommend alternating the cards you use to download, and carrying multiple SD cards when out scouting (see Setting Up Your SD Card).
