CHAPTER 3 SYNCHRONIZATION

Introduction

Synchronization lets the user manage information between an WT41N0 and a host computer so that changes
made either on the WT41N0 or on the host computer appear in both places. Download and install
synchronization software to the host computer (either Microsoft ActiveSync for Windows XP or Windows
Mobile Device Center (WMDC) for Windows Vista and Windows 7) in order to use the sync feature. Visit
www.microsoft.com on the host computer for details.
The synchronization software:
Allows working with WT41N0-compatible applications on the host computer. The sync software
•
replicates data from the WT41N0 to view, enter, and modify data on the host computer.
Synchronizes files between the WT41N0 and the host computer, converting the files to the correct
•
format.
Backs up the data stored on the WT41N0. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures the data
•
is always safe and up-to-date.
Copies (rather than synchronizes) files between the WT41N0 and the host computer.
•
Controls when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, synchronize
•
continuously while the WT41N0 is connected to the host computer, or synchronize only on command.
Selects the types of information to synchronize and control how much data is synchronized.
•

Installing the Sync Software
