Mobile Favorites

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

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 ActiveSync Help on the host 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, then 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.
