Chapter . Synchronizing Information
ActiveSync synchronizes information on your phone with information on your PC such as Outlook
content. ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Exchange Server, if
your company or service provider is running Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:
•Synchronize information such as Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar, or tasks information on your
phone with your PC, as well as pictures, video, and music.
•Synchronize Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar appointments, and tasks on your phone directly with
Exchange Server so that you can stay up to date even when your PC is turned off.
•Copy files between your phone and your PC without synchronizing.
•Select which types of information are synchronized and specify how much information is
synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past calendar appointments to
synchronize.
4.1 Installing and setting up ActiveSync
1. Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described on the Windows Mobile™ Getting Started Disc. After
Setup completes, the Synchronization Setup Wizard automatically starts when you connect your
