MICROSOFT ACTIVESYNC
The Windows CE operating system and your MobilePro
provide a powerful, portable extension to your host PC.
This PC-companion capability comes through the Micro-
soft ActiveSync software.
Microsoft ActiveSync provides the communication link
between your MobilePro and host PC. The ActiveSync
technology provides synchronization between files on your
MobilePro and host PC keeping up-to-date copies of email
and documents in both locations.
You can also backup and restore data and files and install
new applications using Microsoft ActiveSync. For addi-
tional information about Microsoft ActiveSync, double
click the ActiveSync desktop icon on your host PC that
appears after installing ActiveSync.
