Using ActiveSync

Introduction

Requirement : ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher for Windows XP host computers) must be resident on the host (desktop/
laptop) computer. Windows Mobile Device Center (version 6.1 or higher) is required for a Windows Vista or higher desktop/
laptop computer. ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center for the host computer is available from the Microsoft web-
site. Follow their instructions to locate, download and install ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center on your desktop
computer.
Note: For readability in this section, ActiveSync will be used in instructions and explanations. If you have a Windows Vista
or higher 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 MX7 Tecton and vice versa.
Synchronization compares the data on your mobile device 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) identical 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 fol-
lowing processes:
• connect your MX7 Tecton to your host computer,
• set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your mobile device and your desktop computer, and
• customize your synchronization settings.
Because ActiveSync is already installed on the MX7 Tecton, 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.
