Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ® ActiveSync ® , you can synchronize the information on
your desktop computer with the information on your Pocket PC.
Synchronization compares the data on your Pocket PC with your desktop
computer and updates both computers with the most recent information.
For example:
■
Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your
Pocket PC with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.
■ Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
Pocket PC and desktop computer. 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:
■ Back up and restore your Pocket PC data.
■ Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC and
desktop computer.
■ Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected
to your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize
command.
■ 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.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop
computer from the Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on
installing ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already
installed on your Pocket PC.
