44 Hewlett-Packard Jornada 420 Palm-size PC
The New Partnership Wizard helps you create a partnership and
gives you options for synchronizing data, e-mail messages, and
files between the HP Jornada and desktop PC. When the New
Mobile Device Detected dialog box appears on your desktop PC,
click Synchronize, and then follow the instructions on the screen
of your desktop PC to complete the New Partnership Wizard.
The Wizard prompts you to type a name and a description for the
P/PC. The name can be anything you choose (up to 15
alphanumeric characters, no spaces) and should make it easy for
you to identify the HP Jornada. The description could be the
make and model (for example, HP Jornada 420) or a property
control number.
You can later change the device name and description using
the Communication control panel on the HP Jornada. On the
Start menu, tap Programs, tap Communication, and then
tap Connections.
The Wizard also prompts you to choose settings for
synchronization: Manual, On Connect, or Continuous. If you
choose Continuous, information is synchronized whenever it
changes for as long as the computers are connected.
The P/PC icon appears in the Mobile Devices window after the
new partnership is created, which can take a minute or two.
To change the type of items that are synchronized after you
have completed the wizard, select the P/PC icon in the Mobile
Devices folder and then click ActiveSync Options on the
Tools menu.
Also, regardless of the options you choose while completing the
Wizard, you can also synchronize at any moment by choosing
the Synchronize Now command from the Tools menu of the
Mobile Devices window. Or, right-click the connection icon in
the taskbar of the desktop PC, and then click Synchronize
Now. For more information, see "Synchronizing data" on page
50.
