Mobile Favorites

Items stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in the Favorites folder in Internet Explorer on
the host computer are synchronized with the terminal. This folder is created automatically
when ActiveSync is installed.

Favorite Links

Synchronization updates the list of favorite links both in the Mobile Favorites folder on your
host computer and in Pocket Internet Explorer on your terminal. Unless you mark the
favorite link as a mobile favorite, only the link is downloaded to your terminal; you must
connect to your ISP or network to view the content. For more information on
synchronization, see
computer.

Creating Mobile Favorites

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later on your host computer, you can
download mobile favorites. Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web content to your
terminal so you can view Web pages while disconnected from your ISP and host computer.
Use the Internet Explorer plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites:
1. In Internet Explorer on your host computer, click Tools - Create Mobile Favorite.
2. To change the link name, enter a new name in the Name box.
3. If desired, select a desired update schedule in Update.
4. Click OK . Internet Explorer downloads the latest version of the Web page to your
host computer.
5. To download the pages linked to the mobile favorite you just created, in Internet
Explorer on the host computer, right-click the mobile favorite, then click Properties.
On the Download tab, specify the number of links deep you want to download. To
conserve terminal memory, only go one level deep.
6. Synchronize your terminal and host computer. Mobile favorites stored in the Mobile
Favorites folder in Internet Explorer are downloaded to your terminal.
If you did not specify an update schedule in step 3, you must manually download
content to keep the information updated on your host computer and terminal.
