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
connect 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 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 computer has been copied to your device, and
you didn't have to type a word. Disconnect your device from your computer
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.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for
specific information types.
