Toshiba Pocket PC e400/e405 Chapter 3: Microsoft ActiveSync Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®, you can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your Pocket PC. Synchronization compares the data on your device with your computer and updates both with the most recent information. For example: ■ Keep 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 computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format. By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types. With ActiveSync, you can also: ■ Change synchronization settings and synchronization schedule. ■ Copy files between your device and PC. ■ Back up and restore device information. ■ Add and remove programs on your device Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your computer from the Toshiba Pocket PC Companion CD. ActiveSync is already installed on your device. After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your Pocket PC to your computer, set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your Pocket PC and your computer, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard. 50
