Dolphin Peripherals 9500 - Manual (Page 94)

6 - 2 Rev C Dolphin® 9500 Series User’s Guide
Requirements
To synchronize, ActiveSync version 3.7 or higher must be installed on both your desktop computer and Dolphin terminal. Dolphin
terminals ship with ActiveSync 3.7 already installed. Therefore, you must install ActiveSync 3.7 on your desktop computer from
the Microsoft Companion CD that came with your terminal.
To install ActiveSync on your desktop computer, insert the Microsoft Companion CD into the CD-ROM drive of your desktop
computer. Click the yellow arrow, then Start Here, and follow the directions on your screen.
When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal must be connected to the host PC with a peripheral device sold/manufactured
by Hand Held Products, such as the Dolphin HomeBase, Dolphin Mobile Base, Dolphin Net Base, Dolphin Mobile Charger or
other Dolphin 9500 Series charging/communication cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products
may damage your terminal and will void the warranty.
For more information about communication peripherals, see Dolphin HomeBase on page 12-1 and Dolphin Mobile Base on page
13-1.
Setting Up Your Desktop Computer
When installation of ActiveSync is complete on your desktop computer, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you
• connect your terminal to your desktop computer,
• set up a partnership so you can synchronize information, and
• customize your synchronization settings.
Synchronizing from Your Desktop Computer
Because ActiveSync is already installed on the Dolphin terminal, your first synchronization process begins automatically when
you finish setting up your desktop computer in the wizard and your terminal is connected to the host PC.
After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on the terminal. Notice that the same information from
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer is now on the terminal. Simply remove the Dolphin from the communication
peripheral and you’re ready to use it.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync Options to specify the types
of information you want to synchronize. The synchronization process makes the data (in the information types you select)
identical on both your desktop computer and your device.
For more information about using ActiveSync on your desktop computer, open ActiveSync, then open ActiveSync Help.
Synchronizing from the Terminal
ActiveSync must be setup on your desktop computer and the first synchronization process completed before you initiate
synchronization from the terminal for the first time.
To initiate synchronization the first time, tap Start > ActiveSync. The synchronization process begins.
Note: If you have a wireless LAN card, you can synchronize remotely.
