Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
NOTE: If you use Windows Vista, you do not need to install Microsoft ActiveSync on
your computer. Your synchronization settings will be managed through the Windows
Mobile Device Center. For information on the Windows Mobile Center, see the
Windows Vista Help or documentation.
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync technology to synchronize information
on your desktop computer and/or a Microsoft Exchange Server with the
information on the device. ActiveSync compares the information on the
device with the information on the desktop computer and/or the server and
updates all locations, keeping you up-to-date with the most recent
information.
ActiveSync is already installed on the device. You need to install
ActiveSync 4.2 on your desktop computer using the supplied Getting Started
Disc or from the Microsoft web site (www.microsoft.com).
CAUTION:
Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your
desktop computer.
Do not connect the device to the computer during ActiveSync installation. Make the
connection only when prompted.
In some specific cases, the device may experience connection problems when it is
connected to a Windows computer running ActiveSync. The problems may be
caused by the interoperability with desktop firewall applications, applications that
manage network traffic, or LAN configuration tools. To resolve the problems, tap
Settings Connections USB to PC, clear the Enable advanced
network functionality check box, and then tap ok. If the problem persists, please
refer to the support section of the Mio Technology website (www.mio-tech.be).
Follow the procedure below:
1. Turn on your desktop computer.
2. Insert the supplied Getting Started Disc into the CD-ROM drive of your
desktop computer.
3. On the first screen, select the desired language and click Go.
4. Click Next on the “Getting Started …” screen.
5. The program will automatically detect if ActiveSync is installed on the
desktop computer. Click Next.
