Synchronizing from the Mobile Device

To synchronize using a wireless LAN card, you must have set up ActiveSync on your desktop computer and completed the
first synchronization process before you initiate synchronization from your device.
To initiate synchronization from your MX9, tap Start > Programs > Communication > ActiveSync to begin the process.
Tap Sync to connect and synchronize. View synchronization status.
Tap Tools to synchronize or change synchronization settings. View connection status.
Tap Stop to stop synchronization.
Tap Start > Help for context-sensitive help.

Explore

From the ActiveSync Dialog on the Desktop PC, tap the Explore button, which allows you to explore the mobile device from
the PC side, with some limitations. You can copy files to or from the mobile device by drag-and-drop. You will not be allowed
to delete files or copy files out of the \Windows folder on the mobile device. (Technically, the only files you cannot delete or
copy are ones marked as system files in the original build of the Windows image. This, however, includes most of the files
in the \Windows folder).

Microsoft's ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center.
