Chapter 7 : Microsoft Activesync - T-Mobile Pocket PC User Manual

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your desktop PC with the information on your Pocket PC
Phone. Synchronization compares the data on your Pocket PC Phone with your desktop PC and updates both with the most
recent information. For example:
•
Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC Phone with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
•
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your Pocket PC Phone and PC. Your files are automatically
converted to the correct format.
With ActiveSync you can also:
•
Back up and restore your Pocket PC Phone data.
•
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC Phone and PC.
•
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually
while connected to your PC 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.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your Pocket PC Phone to your PC, set up a
partnership so you can synchronize information between your Pocket PC Phone and your PC, and customize your
synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your Pocket PC Phone. You will notice that
information you have stored in Microsoft Outlook on your PC has been copied to your Pocket PC Phone, and you did not have to
type a word. Disconnect your Pocket PC Phone from your PC and you are ready to go!
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization process, you can initiate synchronization from your
Pocket PC Phone. To switch to ActiveSync on your Pocket PC Phone, tap
wireless LAN card, you can synchronize remotely from your Pocket PC Phone.
For information about using ActiveSync on your PC, start ActiveSync on your PC and then see ActiveSync Help.
