Software Configuration

Using ActiveSync

Before any software configuration can occur, the HX3 must be connected to a host computer with a USB port. The HX3 does
not have a touch screen. Because of this and the limited keypad, it is necessary to configure the HX3 using ActiveSync and
LXEConnect.
Note: The HX3 does not have a touch screen. If the host computer has a touch screen, instructions using "tap" and "stylus"
instead of "click" and "mouse" apply.
Note: Once a relationship (partnership) has been established with ActiveSync Connect (on a host computer), ActiveSync will
synchronize using the wireless link, serial port, or USB on the HX3.
Note: ActiveSync serial connection requires a powered desktop cradle.
Requirement : ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher for Windows XP host computers) must be resident on the host computer. Win-
dows Mobile Device Center (version 6.1 or higher) is required for a Windows Vista or greater host computer. ActiveSync and
Windows Mobile Device Center for the PC is available from the Microsoft website. Follow Microsoft's instructions to locate,
download and install ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center on your host computer.
Note: For readability in this section, ActiveSync will be used in instructions and explanations. If you have a Windows Vista or
greater operating system on your host computer, replace ActiveSync with Windows Mobile Device Center.
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize information on your host computer with the HX3 and vice versa. Synchroniza-
tion compares the data on your HX3 with your host computer and updates both with the most recent data.
For example, you can:
• Back up and restore your device data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and host computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually
while connected to your host computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync Options to specify the types
of information you want to synchronize. The synchronization process makes the data (in the information types you select) iden-
tical on both your host computer and your device.
When installation of ActiveSync is complete on your host computer, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard begins and starts the follow-
ing processes:
• connect your mobile device to your host computer,
• set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your mobile device and your host computer, and
• customize your synchronization settings.
Because ActiveSync is already installed on your mobile device, your first synchronization process begins automatically when
you finish setting up your host computer in the ActiveSync wizard. For more information about using ActiveSync on your host
computer, open ActiveSync, then open ActiveSync Help.

Initial Setup

The initial setup of ActiveSync must be made via a USB.This is the only connection type supported on the HX3.
Partnerships can only be created using USB cable connection.

Connect via USB

The default connection type is USB Client
IMPORTANT: This setting must not be changed on the HX3!
To change the connection type or to verify it is set to USB, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > PC Connection.
Tap the Change button. From the popup list, choose USB Client.
This will set up the HX3 to use the USB port. Tap OK and ensure the check box for "Allow connection with desktop
computer when device is attached" is checked.
Tap OK to return to the Control Panel. If desired, any control panel windows may be closed.
