www.dell.com | support.dell.com About ActiveSync You can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your device with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on your device with the data on your computer and updates both with the most recent information. For example: • Keep Microsoft Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your computer. • Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and your computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format. NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. You can change ActiveSync options to synchronize specific types of information. With ActiveSync, you can also: • Back up and restore your device data. NOTICE: If you are upgrading to Pocket PC 2003 from Pocket PC 2002, do not use the Data Backup utility on your device or the Backup/Restore option in ActiveSync to back up your files. You cannot recover your data after you install the upgrade if you do so. Follow the instructions included with the Pocket PC 2003 System Update to back up your data. • Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your computer. • Select a synchronization mode to control when synchronization occurs. For example, you can synchronize continuously or only when you select 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. 58 Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®
