NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your V37. You need to install
ActiveSync on your PC. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see Step 5 of
the Quick Start procedure in Chapter 1, “Installing Microsoft ActiveSync.”)
Microsoft ActiveSync allows you to synchronize the information on your PC with
information on your V37. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides
and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example,
you can:
• Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks databases up-to
date by synchronizing your V37 with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
IMPORTANT: Outlook must be installed on your PC in order to synchronize
your email data.
• Synchronize email messages in your V37 Inbox with email messages in
Microsoft Outlook on your PC.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your V37 and
PC. Your files will be automatically converted to the correct format.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your V37 data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your V37 and PC.
• Add and remove programs on your V37.
