Microsoft ActiveSync
Microsoft ActiveSync
NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your Yakumo alphaX GPS . You need to install
ActiveSync on your desktop computer. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see
section 1.4.)
When you have established the connection between your Yakumo alphaX GPS and
your desktop computer, you can synchronize the information between the two with
ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and updates both
computers with the most recent information. For example, you can:
z
Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases up-to-date
by synchronizing your Yakumo alphaX GPS with Microsoft Outlook data on
your desktop computer.
z
Synchronize e-mail messages in your Yakumo alphaX GPS Inbox with e-mail
messages in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.
z
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your Yakumo
alphaX GPS and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to
the correct format.
