Running ActiveSync
ActiveSync compares the data on your Handheld with the data on your PC, and then updates all
locations with the most recent information. To run ActiveSync using the Grayhill Cable
connection, follow these steps:
1.
First start ActiveSync on your regular computer.
2.
Connect the Grayhill Cable, with the Handheld installed inside it, to your PC using the
USB cable.
3.
ActiveSync automatically establishes a connection. This may take several seconds.
4.
With a Guest Partnership, ActiveSync will ask if you want to connect using your Guest
Partnership or with a Standard Partnership. If you stay with a Guest Partnership:
On your regular computer, open Windows Explorer and double-click the
Explore
icon to view the file structure on your Handheld.
In the
Explore
window, the Handheld file structure looks and acts like the file
structure as shown in the Windows Explorer window on your PC.
Manually copy and paste files in between the two file structure windows.
5.
With a Standard Partnership, ActiveSync automatically synchronizes the data types you
selected for synchronization, using any customized settings you chose.
To change ActiveSync’s data types or settings, click
Tools
,
Options
in the
ActiveSync program running on your regular computer.
Once synchronization has completed, open Windows Explorer and double-click
the
Explore
icon to view the file structure on your Handheld in order to review the
files that ActiveSync has automatically updated for you.
