Installing ActiveSync

You can use Microsoft® ActiveSync® technology to synchronize the information on your
Smartphone with information on your desktop computer and optionally, a server running
Microsoft® Exchange® Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When you do this, ActiveSync
compares the information on the Smartphone with the information on the desktop computer
and Exchange Server, and updates all locations, keeping you up to date with the most recent
information. You can even synchronize on a customizable schedule, or as items arrive.
N O T E
Before the installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your desktop
computer. If you do not have Outlook or your version of Outlook is earlier than the version
provided on the Companion CD, install Outlook from the Companion CD.
If you have an older version of ActiveSync installed on your desktop computer, the installation
wizard will inform you. When you choose to continue, the new ActiveSync will replace the
existing ActiveSync on your computer.
Do not connect your Smartphone to your desktop computer before ActiveSync is installed.
During the New Partnership setup, select "Synchronize with this desktop computer." Do not
select "Synchronize with Microsoft Exchange Server and/or this desktop computer" unless you
are sure that your company is running Microsoft Exchange Server and Exchange ActiveSync.
Contact your network administrator or ISP for detailed information.
