End User License Agreement for Product Software
IMPORTANT, READ CAREFULLY. THIS END USER LICENSE
AGREEMENT (“EULA”) IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU
AND Trimble Navigation Limited (“Trimble”) and applies to the
computer software provided with the Trimble product purchased by you
(whether built into hardware circuitry as firmware, embedded in flash
memory or a PCMCIA card, or stored on magnetic or other media), or
provided as a stand-alone computer software product, and includes any
accompanying written materials such as a user's guide or product
manual, as well as any "online" or electronic documentation ("Software"
or “Product Software”). This EULA will also apply to any Software error
corrections, updates and upgrades subsequently furnished by Trimble,
unless such are accompanied by different license terms and conditions,
which will govern their use. You have acquired a Trimble Product
("Device") that includes Software, some of which was licensed by
Trimble from Microsoft Corporation or its affiliates (collectively
"Microsoft"). The Software licensed from Microsoft, as well as associated
updates, supplements, internet-based services and support services,
media, printed materials, and "online" or electronic documentation
("Microsoft Software"), are protected under this EULA. The Software is
also protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as
well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. The Software is
licensed, not sold.
BY USING THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING USE ON THIS DEVICE, YOU
ACCEPT THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THEM, DO NOT
USE THE DEVICE OR SOFTWARE. INSTEAD CONTACT TRIMBLE FOR
A REFUND OR CREDIT. As described below, using some features also
operates as your consent to the transmission of certain standard
computer information for Internet-based services.
WARNING: If the Software contains voice operated technologies, then
operating this Software requires user attention. Diverting attention away
from the road while driving can possibly cause an accident or other
serious consequence. Even occasional, short diversions of attention can
be dangerous if your attention is diverted away from your driving task at
a critical time. Trimble and Microsoft make no representations,
warranties or other determinations that ANY use of this Software is
legal, safe, or in any manner recommended or intended while driving or
otherwise operating a motor vehicle.
This EULA does not grant you any rights with respect to the
Windows Mobile Device Center, Microsoft ActiveSync or Microsoft
Outlook 2007 Trial which are subject to the licenses accompanying
those items.
1 SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSE
1.1 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA,
Trimble grants you a non-exclusive right to use one copy of the Software
in a machine-readable form only as installed on the Device. Such use is
limited to use with the Device for which it was intended, as set forth in
the product documentation. The Device Software is licensed with the
Device as a single integrated product. The Device Software installed in
read only memory (“ROM”) of the Device may only be used as part of the
Device into which it was embedded. You may use the installation
Software from a computer solely to download the Software to one
Device. In no event shall the installation Software be used to download
the Software onto more than one Device. A license for the Software may
not be shared or used concurrently on different computers or Devices.
1.2 Scope of License. This EULA only gives you some rights to use the
Software. Trimble and Microsoft reserve all other rights. Unless
applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may use
the Software only as expressly permitted in this EULA. In doing so, you
must comply with any technical limitations in the Software that allow
you to use it only in certain ways. Except as expressly provided in this
EULA, rights to access the Software on this Device do not give you any
right to implement Microsoft patents or other Microsoft intellectual
property in software or devices that access this device. You may use
remote access technologies in the software such as Remote Desktop
Mobile to access the Software remotely from a computer or server. You
are responsible for obtaining any licenses required for use of the
protocols to access other software.
1.3 Proof of License. If you acquired the Software on the Device, or on a
disc or other media, a genuine Certificate of Authenticity label with a
genuine copy of the Software identifies licensed software. To be valid,
this label must be affixed to the Device, or included on or in the software
packaging. If you receive the label separately, it is not valid. You should
keep the label on the device or packaging to prove that you are licensed
to use the Software. To identify genuine Microsoft Software, see
http://www.howtotell.com.
1.4 Connectivity Software. Your Device package may include Windows
Mobile Device Center or Microsoft ActiveSync software. If it is included,
then you may install and use it in accordance with the license terms that
are provided with it. If no license terms are provided, then you may
install and use only one (1) copy of the Software on a single computer.
1.5 Digital Certificates. The Software uses digital certificates in X.509
format. These digital certificates are used for authentication.
1.6 Phone Functionality. If the Device Software includes phone
functionality, all or certain portions of the Device Software may be
inoperable if you do not have and maintain a service account with a
wireless telecommunication carrier (“Mobile Operator”), or if the Mobile
Operator’s network is not operating or configured to operate with the
Device.
1.7 Upgrade Software. In the event that any upgrades to the Software,
including Microsoft Software, are provided under this EULA, then the
following shall apply: you may follow the applicable instructions
accompanying this Software and install one (1) copy of the Software on
one (1) Device presently containing a licensed copy of a predecessor
version of the Software (unless this EULA indicates that this Software
copy has been licensed for installation on multiple Devices). NO
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IS MADE BY TRIMBLE OR
MICROSOFT WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPATIBILITY OF THIS
SOFTWARE WITH ANY DEVICE OR ANY OTHER EXISTING
SOFTWARE OR DATA OF ANY KIND CONTAINED ON SUCH DEVICES,
AND NEITHER TRIMBLE OR MICROSOFT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE
IN ANY REGARD WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOSS, CORRUPTION,
MODIFICATION OR INACCESSIBILITY OF ANY DATA,
APPLICATIONS OR OTHER SOFTWARE RESULTING FROM THE
INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE ON ANY DEVICE.
1.8 Internet-Based Services Components. Microsoft provides Internetbased services with the software. Microsoft may change or cancel them
at any time. The Microsoft Software features described below connect to
Microsoft or service provider computer systems over the Internet. In
some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they connect.
You may switch off some of these features or not use them. For more
information about these features, visit
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=81931. By using these
features, you consent to the transmission of this information.
Microsoft does not use the information to identify or contact you. You
may not use these services in any way that could harm them or impair
anyone else’s use of them. You may not use the services to try to gain
unauthorized access to any service, data, account or network by any
means.
1.9 Device Information. The following features use Internet protocols,
which send to the appropriate systems device information, such as your
Internet protocol address, the type of operating system, browser and
name and version of the Software you are using, and the language code
of the Device where you installed the Software. Microsoft uses this
information to make the Internet-based services available to you. a)
Update Features: Windows Mobile Update feature provides you the
ability to obtain and install Software updates on your Device if updates
are available. You may choose not to use this feature. Trimble and/or
your Mobile Operator may not support this feature or an update for your
device. b) Security Updates/Digital Rights Management. Content
owners use Windows Media digital rights management technology
(WMDRM) to protect their intellectual property, including copyrights.
This software and third party software use WMDRM to play and copy
WMDRM-protected content. If the software fails to protect the content,
content owners may ask Microsoft to revoke the software's ability to use
WMDRM to play or copy protected content. Revocation does not affect
other content. When you download licenses for protected content, you
agree that Microsoft may include a revocation list with the licenses.
Content owners may require you to upgrade WMDRM to access their
content. Microsoft software that includes WMDRM will ask for your
consent prior to the upgrade. If you decline an upgrade, you will not be
able to access content that requires the upgrade.
1.10 Additional Software/Services. The Device Software may permit
Trimble, Microsoft, their affiliates and/or their designated agent to
provide or make available to you Software updates, supplements, add-on
components, or Internet-based services components of the Software
after the date you obtain your initial copy of the Software
(“Supplemental Components”).
1.10.1 If Trimble provides or makes available to you Supplemental
Components and no other end user license agreement terms are
provided along with the Supplemental Components, then the terms
of this EULA shall apply.
1.10.2 If Microsoft, its affiliates and/or its designated agent makes
available Supplemental Components, and no other end user license
agreement terms are provided, then the terms of this EULA shall
apply, except that the Microsoft entity or affiliate entity providing
the Supplemental Component(s) shall be the licensor of the
Supplemental Component(s).
1.10.3 Trimble, Microsoft and each of their affiliates and/or their
designated agents reserve the right to discontinue any Internetbased services provided to you or made available to you through
the use of the Device Software.
1.11 Links to Third Party Sites. If the Software provides links to third
party websites, those links are provided to you only as a convenience,
and the inclusion of any link does not imply an endorsement of the third
party website by Microsoft or Trimble.
1.12 Other Rights and Limitations. (1) The Software contains valuable
trade secrets proprietary to Trimble and its suppliers. To the extent
permitted by relevant law, you shall not, nor allow any third party to
copy, decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer the
Software, or attempt to do so, provided, however, that to the extent any
applicable mandatory laws (such as, for example, national laws
implementing EC Directive 91/250 on the Legal Protection of Computer
Programs) give you the right to perform any of the aforementioned
activities without Trimble's consent in order to gain certain information
about the Software for purposes specified in the respective statutes (i.e.,
interoperability), you hereby agree that, before exercising any such
rights, you shall first request such information from Trimble in writing
detailing the purpose for which you need the information. Only if and
after Trimble, at its sole discretion, partly or completely denies your
request, may you exercise such statutory rights. (2) This Software is
licensed as a single product. You may not separate its component parts
for use on more than one computer nor make more copies of the
GeoExplorer 2008 Series User Guide
software than specified in this EULA. (3) You may not rent, lease, or lend
the Software. (4) No service bureau work, multiple-user license or timesharing arrangement is permitted. For purposes of this EULA “service
bureau work” shall be deemed to include, without limitation, use of the
Software to process or to generate output data for the benefit of, or for
purposes of rendering services to any third party over the Internet or
other communications network. (5) You may make one backup copy of
the Software. You may use it only to reinstall the Software on the Device.
(6) You may transfer the Software only with the Device, the Certificate of
Authenticity label, and these license terms directly to a third party.
Before the transfer, that party must agree that these license terms apply
to the transfer and use of the Software. You may not retain any copies of
the Software including the backup copy. (7) The Software is subject to
United States export laws and regulations. You must comply with all
domestic and international export laws and regulations that apply to the
Software. These laws include restrictions on destinations, end users, and
end use. For additional information see
http://www.microsoft.com/exporting. (8) Without prejudice as to any
other rights, Trimble may terminate this EULA without notice if you fail
to comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA. In such event,
you must destroy all copies of the Software and all of its component
parts. (9) If the Microsoft Software includes speech recognition
component(s), you should understand that speech recognition is an
inherently statistical process and that recognition errors are inherent in
the process. Neither Trimble, Microsoft, nor any of their suppliers shall
be liable for any damages arising out of errors in the speech recognition
process. (10) You may not publish the Software for others to copy. (11)
You may not use the Software for commercial software hosting services.

Device on media such as a ROM chip, CD ROM disk(s) or via web
download or other means, and is labeled “For Upgrade Purposes Only”
you may install one (1) copy of such Device Software onto the Device as
a replacement copy for the existing Device Software and use it
accordance with this EULA, including any additional end user license
agreement terms accompanying the upgrade Device Software.
1.15 If any software component(s) is provided by Trimble separate from
the Device on CD ROM disc(s) or via web download or other means, and
labeled “For Upgrade Purposes Only,” you may (i) install and use one (1)
copy of such component(s) on the computer(s) you use to exchange data
with the Device as a replacement copy for the existing Companion CD

1.18 Microsoft has contractually obligated Trimble to include the
following terms in this EULA:
Product Support. The Product support for the Software is not
provided by Microsoft or its affiliates or subsidiaries. For product
support, please refer to the Trimble support number provided in the
documentation for the Device.
GeoExplorer 2008 Series User Guide
Not fault tolerant. The Software is not fault tolerant. Trimble
installed the Software on the Device and is responsible for how it
operates on the Device.
Restricted user. The Microsoft Software was designed for systems
that do not require fail-safe performance. You may not use the
Microsoft Software in any device or system in which a malfunction
of the Microsoft Software would result in foreseeable risk of injury
or death to any person. This includes operation of nuclear facilities,
aircraft navigation or communication systems and air traffic
control.
No warranties for the software. Microsoft gives no express
warranties, guarantees or conditions regarding the Microsoft
Software. Any warranties you receive regarding the Device or the
Software do not originate from, and are not binding on, Microsoft or
its affiliates. When allowed by your local laws, Trimble and
Microsoft exclude implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for
a particular purpose and non-infringement.
LIABILITY LIMITATIONS. You can recover from Microsoft and its
affiliates only direct damages up to fifty U.S. Dollars (U.S. $50.00), or
equivalent in local currency. You cannot recover any other damages,
including consequential, lost profits, special, indirect or incidental
damages. This limitation applies to:
– Anything related to the Software, services, content
(including code) on third party internet sites, or third party
programs, and
– claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee
or condition, strict liability, negligence, or other tort to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
It also applies even if Microsoft should have been aware of the
possibility of the damages. The above limitation may not apply to
you because your country may not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental, consequential or other damages.
2 LIMITED WARRANTY FOR TRIMBLE PRODUCT SOFTWARE.
2.1 Limited Warranty. Trimble warrants that the Software, exclusive of
the Microsoft Software, will perform substantially in accordance with
the accompanying written materials for a period of twelve (12) months
from the date of purchase. This limited warranty gives you specific legal
rights; you may have others, which vary from state/jurisdiction to
state/jurisdiction. The above limited warranty does not apply to Fixes,
Minor Updates, or Major Upgrades of the Software after expiration of the
twelve (12) month limited warranty period, all of which are provided “AS
IS” and without warranty unless otherwise specified in writing by
Trimble. Because the Software is inherently complex and may not be
completely free of nonconformities, defects or errors, you are advised to
verify your work. Trimble does not warrant that the Software will
operate error free or uninterrupted, will meet your needs or
expectations, or that all nonconformities can or will be corrected.
2.2 Software Fixes. During the limited warranty period described in
section 2.1 above, you will be entitled to receive such Fixes to the
Product Software that Trimble releases and makes commercially
available and for which it does not charge separately, subject to the
procedures for delivery to purchasers of Trimble products generally. If
you have purchased the Product from an authorized Trimble dealer
rather than from Trimble directly, Trimble may, at its option, forward the
software Fix to the Trimble dealer for final distribution to you. Minor
Updates, Major Upgrades, new products, or substantially new software
releases, as identified by Trimble, are expressly excluded from this
update process and limited warranty. Receipt of Software Fixes or other
enhancements shall not serve to extend the limited warranty period.
For purposes of this warranty the following definitions shall apply: (1)
"Fix(es)" means an error correction or other update created to fix a
previous software version that does not substantially conform to its
Trimble specifications; (2) "Minor Update" occurs when enhancements
are made to current features in a software program; and (3) "Major
Upgrade" occurs when significant new features are added to software, or
when a new product containing new features replaces the further
development of a current product line. Trimble reserves the right to
determine, in its sole discretion, what constitutes a Fix, Minor Update,
or Major Upgrade.
2.3 Customer Remedies. Trimble’s and its suppliers’ entire liability, and
your sole remedy, with respect to the Software shall be either, at
Trimble’s option, (a) repair or replacement of the Software, or (b) return
of the license fee paid for any Software that does not meet Trimble’s
limited warranty. This limited warranty is void if failure of the Software
has resulted from (1) accident, misuse, abuse, or misapplication; (2)
alteration or modification of the Software without Trimble’s
authorization; (3) interaction with software or hardware not supplied or
supported by Trimble; (4) your improper, inadequate or unauthorized
installation, maintenance or storage; or (5) if you violate the terms of
this EULA. Any replacement Software will be warranted for the
remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever
is longer.
2.4 NO OTHER WARRANTIES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIMBLE AND ITS SUPPLIERS
DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW OR
OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND
NONINFRINGEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE SOFTWARE, ITS
SATISFACTORY QUALITY AND THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO
PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, IMPLIED WARRANTIES, TERMS AND
CONDITIONS ON THE SOFTWARE ARE LIMITED TO NINETY (90)
DAYS. Y0U MAY HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM
STATE/JURISDICTION TO STATE/JURISDICTION.
NO WARRANTIES FOR THE MICROSOFT SOFTWARE. THE
MICROSOFT SOFTWARE is provided “AS IS” and with all faults, AND
TRIMBLE PROVIDES NO WARRANTY WITH RESPECT THERETO.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, PERFORMANCE,
ACCURACY AND EFFORT (INCLUDING LACK OF NEGLIGENCE) FOR
THE MICROSOFT SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. ALSO, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF
THE MICROSOFT SOFTWARE OR AGAINST INFRINGEMENT.
2.5 PLEASE NOTE: THE FOREGOING TRIMBLE LIMITED WARRANTY
PROVISIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSES
PURCHASED IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS (SUCH AS COUNTRIES OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION) IN WHICH PRODUCT WARRANTIES ARE OBTAINED
FROM THE LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR. IN SUCH CASES, PLEASE CONTACT
YOUR TRIMBLE DEALER FOR APPLICABLE WARRANTY INFORMATION.
3 TRIMBLE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
3.1 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL TRIMBLE
OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER
CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS

Safety Information
Exposure to radio frequency radiation (Bluetooth and WLAN
transmitters)
This device is approved as a portable device with respect to Radio Frequency (RF)
exposure compliance. The radiated output power of the internal wireless radio
transmitters is less than 10 milliWatt, which results in exposure levels far below the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits, even when operated in close proximity to the
body. The internal wireless radios operate within guidelines found in international
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus
of the international scientific community. Trimble therefore believes the internal
wireless radios are safe for use by users. The level of electromagnetic energy emitted is
hundreds of times lower than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices
such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some
situations or environments, such as on aircraft. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are
encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radios.
AC adaptor safety
To charge the handheld’s battery, use the international adaptor kit provided with the
GeoExplorer 2008 series handheld (see Powering the handheld, page 24).
WARNING – To use AC adaptors safely:
– Use only the AC adaptor intended for the GeoExplorer 2008 series handheld. Using any
other AC adaptor can damage the handheld and may void your warranty. Do not use
the AC adaptor with any other product.
– Make certain that the input voltage on the adaptor matches the voltage and frequency
in your location.
– Make certain that the adaptor has prongs compatible with your outlets.
– Do not use the AC adaptor in wet outdoor areas; it is designed for indoor use only.
– Unplug the AC adaptor from power when not in use.
– Do not short the output connector.
– Be aware that there are no user-serviceable parts in this product.
– If the AC adaptor becomes damaged, replace it with a new Trimble AC adaptor.

WARNING – Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your handheld. To
prevent static damage:
– Discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic
components inside your device, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an
unpainted metal surface.
The GeoExplorer 2008 series is designed for outdoor conditions; however
under conditions of low humidity extremely high voltage discharge events
are possible. Users are advised that the risk of causing discharge to
sensitive electronics can be minimised by avoiding finger contact to the
recessed connectors at the back of the unit.
Should such an event occur, the screen may be temporarily affected and become
difficult to read. Under such circumstances, applying the suspend resume key will
restore the unit to the original display, and there will be no accompanying loss of data
or functionality.

WARNING – The GeoExplorer 2008 series handheld is powered by an internal rechargable
Lithium-ion battery. Charge and use the battery only in strict accordance with the
instructions provided.
To prevent injury or damage:
– Never attempt to remove, replace, or repair the battery yourself.
– Do not damage the battery.
– Do not store or leave the handheld near a heat source such as a fireplace or other
heat-generating appliance, or otherwise expose it to temperatures in excess of 70 °C
(158 °F) such as on a vehicle dashboard. When heated to excessive temperatures, battery
cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.
– Do not use the handheld if the battery appears to be leaking.
– If the battery requires attention, send the handheld to your local Trimble Service Center.
– Discharge the handheld before disposing of the battery. When disposing of the battery,

Powering the handheld
The GeoExplorer 2008 series handheld contains an internal rechargeable Lithium-ion
battery.
Note – Charge the battery completely before using the handheld for the first time. If the
battery has been stored for longer than six months, charge it before use. Trimble
recommends charging the battery for eight hours to recharge it fully.
When fully charged, the handheld battery provides enough power for a full working
day (eight hours) using the internal GPS antenna and with the backlight on at the
default settings.
Note – Cold temperatures, or using Bluetooth wireless technology or wireless LAN
connectivity consumes additional battery power and so shortens battery life between
charges.
AC adaptor safety
WARNING – To use AC adaptors safely:
– Use only the AC adaptor intended for the GeoExplorer 2008 series handheld. Using any
other AC adaptor can damage the handheld and may void your warranty. Do not use
the AC adaptor with any other product.
– Make certain that the input voltage on the adaptor matches the voltage and frequency
in your location.
– Make certain that the adaptor has prongs compatible with your outlets.
– Do not use the AC adaptor in wet outdoor areas; it is designed for indoor use only.
– Unplug the AC adaptor from power when not in use.
– Do not short the output connector.
– Be aware that there are no user-serviceable parts in this product.
– If the AC adaptor becomes damaged, replace it with a new Trimble AC adaptor.

state, or only if a soft reset and then a hard reset does not resolve the problem.
CAUTION – Resetting the handheld to factory default settings erases all data, installed
applications, and settings stored in the handheld, except for any data or applications that
were pre-installed on the handheld or are stored on a memory card. It does not change
the language of the operating system used on the handheld.
CAUTION – If you have encrypted files on a memory card and you reset the handheld to
factory default settings, the encryption key on the handheld is deleted. This means that
any files you have encrypted on a memory card are permanently locked and unreadable
by any device. For more information, see Encrypting files on memory cards, page 32.
Tip – To quickly and easily restore data deleted by performing a factory reset, synchronize
the handheld with a computer before you reset the handheld to the factory default
settings. Once the handheld is reset then resynchronize the handheld with the computer.

Encrypting files on memory cards
To prevent sensitive data on an SD or SDHC memory card from being used if the card
is lost or stolen, files can be encrypted as they are placed on the card.
When encryption is enabled, an encryption key is stored on the handheld. Files are
encrypted as they are copied or written to the memory card. Files already saved on
memory cards before enabling encryption are not automatically encrypted.
Note – Because the encryption key is stored on the handheld, encrypted files are only
readable on the handheld on which they are initially encrypted. It is not possible to read
encrypted files on the storage card with any other device, including another GeoExplorer
2008 series handheld or an office computer.
CAUTION – If you reset the handheld to the factory default settings, the encryption key is
deleted and the handheld is no longer able to read any encrypted files on a memory card.
This means that any files you have encrypted are permanently locked and unreadable by
any device. To avoid being unable to read previously encrypted files, Trimble recommends
that you use another device, such as an office computer, as the primary location for
storing important data and to control the encryption of important files.
To enable encryption of files as they are written to a memory card:
1.
Tap
/ Settings / System / Encryption.
2.
Select the Encrypt files placed on storage cards check-box.
Note – Encrypted files appear as ordinary files on the handheld they were encrypted on. If
the memory card is inserted in another device, the files appear with a .menc file extension
and cannot be opened.
To disable encryption, clear the Encrypt files placed on storage cards check-box.
Note – Disabling encryption does not remove encryption from any existing files on the
memory card, but ensures that new files placed onto the memory card are not encrypted.
To encrypt files that are already stored on a memory card:
1.
Copy the files to the handheld’s internal memory or to an office computer.
2.
Ensure encryption is enabled on the handheld.
3.
Copy the files back to the memory card. The files are encrypted as they are
written to the memory card.
To remove encryption from files so they can be read by other devices:
32
1.
Insert the memory card in the handheld and then connect the handheld to an
office computer using ActiveSync technology.
2.
Copy the encrypted files from the memory card to the office computer.
3.
To use the decrypted files on the handheld, copy the files from the office
computer to the handheld’s main memory.
4.
To store the decrypted files on a memory card, ensure encryption is not enabled
on the handheld and then copy the decrypted files from the office computer to
the memory card.
