Using Microsoft ActiveSync

741 and 751 Color Mobile Computer (Windows Mobile 5.0) User's Manual
You can install any program created for the 741 or 751 mobile computer, as
long as there is enough memory. A popular place to find software for your
computer is on the Windows Mobile Web site
windowsmobile/resources/communities/default.mspx).
Use Microsoft ActiveSync to synchronize the information on your desktop
with the information on the computer. Synchronization compares the data
on the computer with your desktop PC and updates both computers with
the most recent information.
Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on or off
for specific information types.
You can also perform these functions with ActiveSync:
• Copy files between the computer and the desktop.
• Back up and restore the computer data.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much
data is synchronized.
To use ActiveSync
1 Insert the computer into communications dock attached to your PC
with a USB cable.
2 Install ActiveSync on your desktop. ActiveSync is available from the
Windows Mobile Companion CD or from the Microsoft web site.
ActiveSync is already installed on the computer.
After installation, ActiveSync automatically launches the ActiveSync
Setup Wizard.
3 Follow the screens of the ActiveSync Setup Wizard to complete the
synchronization process. The wizard helps you connect to the computer,
set up a partnership for synchronization, and customizes
synchronization settings.
The synchronization process automatically begins when you finish the
wizard.
4 Disconnect the computer from your desktop and go to work.
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization
process, you can initiate synchronization from your computer.
