Microsoft ActiveSync
Microsoft ActiveSync enables you to synchronize the information on
your desktop computer with the information on your device.
Synchronization is the process of comparing the data on your device
with your desktop computer and updating both computers with the
most recent information.
For example:
! Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your
mobile device with your choice of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft
S, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop computer.
!
Synchronize Word and Excel documents, Access and other ODBC
databases and tables, and InkWriter documents between your
device and desktop computer. Your files are automatically
converted to the correct format.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
! Back up and restore your device data.
!
Add and remove programs on your device.
! Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your
desktop computer.
Backing Up and Restoring Data
To prevent data loss, frequently back up your NEC MobilePro data.
You can backup all data to your host PC using Microsoft ActiveSync
on your host PC.
Using Microsoft ActiveSync for Backing Up and
Restoring Data
The Microsoft ActiveSync backup and restore feature creates a
complete duplicate of all data stored on your NEC MobilePro. If you
routinely connect to your host PC, this is the best method of data
backup. The backup file is saved on the hard disk of your host PC.
