Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your
desktop with the information on your CN30 Computer. Synchronization
compares the data on your CN30 Computer with your desktop and
updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your CN30
Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
CN30 Computer and desktop. Your files are automatically converted to
the correct format.
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.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your CN30 Computer data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your CN30 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 CN30 Computer.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you con-
nect your CN30 Computer to your desktop, set up a partnership so you
can synchronize information between your CN30 Computer and your
desktop, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchroni-
zation process automatically begins when finished using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on
your CN30 Computer. Notice that information you have stored in
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop was copied to your CN30 Computer,
and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect the CN30 Computer
from your computer and you are ready to go!
