Windows XP/2000/98 Part A PC with Windows XP/2000/98 operating system can be used to enable connection and synchronize with your Pocket PC. Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your device. Synchronization compares the data on your device with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example: Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer. Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your Pocket PC and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format. Note By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information type. With ActiveSync, you can also: Back up and restore your Pocket PC data. Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer. Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize command. Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized. Synchronization 6-3
