44 Synchronizing Your Dopod 818 Pro

4.1 Setting Up ActiveSync

ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with information on your PC, such
as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network
with Microsoft Exchange Server, if your company or service provider is running Microsoft
Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:
• Synchronize information, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks
information on your device with your PC, as well as pictures, video, and music.
• Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments, and Tasks on your
device directly with Exchange Server so that you can stay up to date even when your
PC is turned off.
• Copy files between your device and your PC without synchronizing.
• Select which types of information are synchronized and specify how much information
is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past Calendar
appointments to synchronize.
To install and set up ActiveSync on the computer
1. Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described on the Getting Started CD. After Setup
completes, the Synchronization Setup Wizard automatically starts when you connect
your device to the PC.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the wizard. In the Sync Setup Wizard,
do one or both of the following:
• Create a synchronization relationship between your PC and your device.
• Configure an Exchange Server connection to synchronize directly with Exchange
Server. You need to specify the Exchange Server address, user name, password,
and domain name. (Get these information from your administrator).
3. Choose the information types to synchronize.
When you finish the wizard, ActiveSync synchronizes your device automatically. Once
synchronization completes, you can disconnect your device from your PC.
