The PIM Synchronization Application is used to synchronize the Personal Information Manager
(PIM) database of this computer with the PIM database of a remote Bluetooth device.

•
The supported data types are:
Business cards

The Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Client Applications > PIM Synchronization > General tab

The PIM items to be synchronized and the PIM on this computer with which those items
•
should be synced.
The data item types that can be synchronized are:

•
Email (with or without attachments-see below)
•
Notes
•
Possible synchronization options for each of these data item types include:
Do Not Synchronize - this item type will not be synchronized.
•
Synchronize Microsoft Outlook - this item type will be synchronized with its matching entry in
•
Microsoft Outlook, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a
matching Outlook entry does not exist, it will be created.
Synchronize Outlook Express - this item type will be synced with its matching entry in
•
Express, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a matching
Express entry does not exist, it will be created.
Synchronize Lotus Notes - this item type will be synced with its matching entry in Lotus
•
Notes, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a matching
Notes entry does not exist, it will be created.

•
is sent or received on this computer using this service.

Note: If synchronization is enabled for a specific item type, but is not enabled for that item
type on the remote device, synchronization will not take place for that item.
Note: Not all choices are available for all items. For example, Note items can only be
synchronized in Microsoft Outlook. Therefore Lotus Notes and Outlook Express are not
displayed as options in the "Notes" item shortcut menu. Personal Information Managers
that are not installed on this computer are not displayed as options in the shortcut menus.
