7. Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft“ ActiveSync“, you can synchronize the information on your PC with the information on your device.
Synchronization compares the data on your device with your PC and updates both with the most recent information. For example:
x Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
x Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and PC. Your files are automatically converted
to the correct format
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for
specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
x Back up and restore your device data.
x Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and PC.
x Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually
while connected to your PC or only when you choose the synchronize command.
x Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose
how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you to connect your device to your PC, set up a partnership so
you can synchronize information between your device and your PC, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first
synchronization process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your device. You’ll notice that information
you’ve stored in Microsoft Outlook on your PC has been copied to your device, and you didn’t have to type a word. Disconnect
your device from your PC and you’re ready to go!
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization process, you can initiate synchronization from your
device. To switch to ActiveSync on your device, tap , and then tap ActiveSync. Note that if you have a wireless LAN card,
you can synchronize remotely from your device.
For information about using ActiveSync on your PC, start ActiveSync on your PC, and then see ActiveSync Help.
