your computer with the information on your device. Synchronization com-
pares the data on your device with your PC and updates both computers
with the most recent information. For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device
with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
device and computer.
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on
and off for specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your device data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desk-
top computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected
to your computer or only when you choose the synchronize com-
mand.
• 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 PC from the
Toshiba Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your device.
