Chapter 3:
Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ® ActiveSync ® , you can synchronize the information on
your computer with the information on your Pocket PC. Synchronization
compares the data on your device with your computer and updates both
with the most recent information. For example:
■ Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device
with Microsoft Outlook data on your computer.
■ Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
device and computer.
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
■ Change synchronization settings and synchronization schedule.
■ Copy files between your device and PC.
■ Back up and restore device information.
■ Add and remove programs on your device
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your computer
from the Toshiba Pocket PC Companion CD. ActiveSync is already
installed on your device.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you con-
nect your Pocket PC to your computer, set up a partnership so you can
synchronize information between your Pocket PC and your computer, and
customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization pro-
cess will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchro-
nize all types of information. Use ActiveSync options to
turn synchronization on and off for specific information
types.
