Synchronization 6-3
Windows XP/2000/98 Part
A PC with Windows XP/2000/98 operating system can be used to
enable connection and synchronize with your Pocket PC. Using Microsoft
®
ActiveSync
®
, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer
with the information on your device. Synchronization compares the data on
your device with your desktop computer and updates both computers with
the most recent information. For example:
V
Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC
with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.
V
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
Pocket PC and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted
to the correct format.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off
for specific information type.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
V
Back up and restore your Pocket PC data.
V
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop
computer.
V
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode.
For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your
desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.
V
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.
