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