Before you can synchronize information with a PC, you must first install ActiveSync
on your PC and create a synchronization relationship between your device and the
PC. You can install ActiveSync from the Getting Started disc that comes with your
device. ActiveSync is already installed on your device.
Once you have installed ActiveSync and set up a synchronization relationship,
ActiveSync on the PC recognizes your device when you connect it, and automatically
transfers the synchronization settings you specified on your device.
You may be able to synchronize your device with Exchange Server through your
company or wireless service provider. If you plan to do so, obtain the name of
the Exchange Server, your user name, password, and domain name from your
administrator before starting the Sync Setup Wizard.
To install and set up ActiveSync
Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described on the Getting Started disc.
After Setup completes, the Sync Setup Wizard automatically starts when you
connect your device to the PC.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the wizard. In the Sync
Setup Wizard, do one or both of the following:
Create a synchronization relationship between your PC and the device.
Configure an Exchange Server connection to synchronize directly with
Exchange Server.
Choose information types to synchronize.
Note
When you finish the wizard, ActiveSync synchronizes your device automatically.
Once synchronization completes, you can disconnect your device from your PC.
4.2 Synchronizing Information
When you connect your device to the PC using a USB or serial cable, an infrared
connection, or a Bluetooth connection, ActiveSync will immediately synchronize.
While the device is connected, ActiveSync synchronizes every time you make a
change on either the PC or the device.
To synchronize Outlook information
If you have set up a synchronization relationship between your device and the
PC, synchronization keeps Outlook information up-to-date on both computers.
ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount of information by default to save storage
space on your device. You can change the amount of information synchronized for
a given information type in Settings for the information type.
You can set up your device to synchronize with more than one PC or with a
combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When synchronizing with
multiple computers, the items that you synchronize will appear on all of the computers
with which they are synchronized. For example, if you have set up synchronization
with two PCs (PC1 and PC2), which have different items, and you synchronize
Contacts and Calendar on the device with both computers, the result is as follows:
