1. SETTING UP MINT
MINT USER ID SETUP
In order to download Mint to your PDA Smartphone and to start transacting you’ll need a Mint
User ID + Password. If you don’t already have one, simply call us on 1300 761 811 or fax your
completed Mint Application Form to us.
A. INSTALLING & USING MICROSOFT ACTIVE SYNC
Pair your PDA phone with your computer via ActiveSync.
Before you can install Mint make sure your PDA phone is paired with your computer using
“Microsoft ActiveSync”. You will have instructions in your PDA phone’s manual. ActiveSync is
already on most PCs as part of the operating system. If you don’t have it, it can be found here:
www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync - simply install the software and connect your
PDA phone to the computer (usually via a USB cable). Then follow the instructions that come
with your PDA phone to install your ActiveSync.
B. DOWNLOADING & INSTALLING MINT SOFTWARE
STEP 1
Open Internet Explorer
Once your PDA phone is paired with your computer, you’ll need to
go to Internet Explorer on your PDA phone to download the Mint
software. Tap > “Start” then tap > “Internet Explorer” from the
drop down menu. This will open up a web browser.
Note: you’ll need to be connected to the internet to do this. Otherwise you
can use you PDA phone’s GPRS connection to download the Mint software
directly onto your PDA phone, rather than using your PC to do this.
