Using Microsoft ActiveSync
synchronise the information on your computer
with the information on your phone.
Synchronisation compares the data on your
phone with your computer and updates both
computers with the most recent information.
For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by
synchronising your phone with Microsoft
Outlook data on your computer.
• Synchronise Microsoft Word and Microsoft
Excel files between your phone and computer.
Your files are automatically converted to the
correct format.

With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your phone data.
• Copy (rather than synchronise) files between
your phone and computer.
• Control when synchronisation occurs by
selecting a synchronisation mode. For
example, you can synchronise continually
while connected to your computer or only
when you choose the synchronise command.
• Select which information types are
synchronised and control how much data is
synchronised. For example, you can choose
how many weeks of past appointments you
want synchronised.
WARNING!
ActiveSync synchronises two devices using most
recent information. Therefore, if you delete specific
data from the phone after a synchronisation, and
then perform a synchronisation again, the
corresponding data on the computer will be deleted.
Be careful not to lose your important data.
