CN3 Mobile Computer User's Manual - PRELIMINARY
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your CN3 Computer data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your CN3 Computer and
desktop.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop or only when you choose the synchronize command.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much
data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of
past appointments you want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop from
the Windows Mobile Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your CN3 Computer.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you con-
nect your CN3 Computer to your desktop, set up a partnership so you can
synchronize information between your CN3 Computer and your desktop,
and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization
process automatically begins when finished using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on
your CN3 Computer. Notice that information you have stored in
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop was copied to your CN3 Computer,
and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect the CN3 Computer from
your computer and you are ready to go!
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization
process, you can initiate synchronization from your CN3 Computer. To
switch to ActiveSync on your CN3 Computer, tap Start > Programs > the
ActiveSync icon. Note that if you have a wireless LAN card, you can syn-
chronize remotely from your CN3 Computer.
For future use, this is added to your Start menu in the Recent Programs
area, via Start > ActiveSync.
