7.1 Using ActiveSync

Maintaining a steady connection between your Smartphone

and your desktop or notebook PC is essential. This process

of sharing information is called "synchronization."

Active-

Sync synchronizes information stored on your Smartphone

from your PC or

Microsoft Exchange Server.* It also allows

you to share files between your Smartphone and your PC.
When you synchronize,

ActiveSync compares the infor-

mation on your Smartphone with the information on your PC

and/or

Exchange Server and updates all locations with the

most recent information.
With

ActiveSync, you can:

• Keep your Outlook information up-to-date by synchroniz-

ing your Smartphone with your PC.
• Maintain connection with your Inbox, Calendar, and Con-

tacts with a server* so that you have the latest information,

even when your computer is turned off.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Smart-

phone and your PC. Installation of new Smartphone software

applications/utilities are done through ActiveSync.
• Have control over when synchronization occurs by select-

ing a synchronization schedule.*
• Select which types of information are synchronized, and

specify how much information is synchronized. For example,

you can choose how many weeks of past appointments to

synchronize.
•

Using

Server ActiveSync

, you can synchronize informa-

tion directly with

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003

Wireless access to Outlook or Microsoft Exchange requires IT

configuration. Additional software and hardware may be required.
