If you did not specify an update schedule in step 3, you will need to manually download
content to keep the information updated on your desktop computer and Pocket PC
Terminal. Before synchronizing with your Pocket PC Terminal, in Internet Explorer on
your desktop computer, click Tools and then Synchronize. You will see the last time
content that was downloaded to the desktop computer, and you can manually download
content if needed.
You can add a button to the Internet Explorer toolbar for creating mobile favorites. In
Internet Explorer 5 on your desktop computer, click View, Toolbars, and then

To save Pocket PC Terminal memory
Mobile favorites take up storage memory on your Pocket PC Terminal. Use the following
techniques to minimize the amount of memory used.
• In the settings for the Favorites information type in ActiveSync options, turn off pictures and
sounds or stop some mobile favorites from being downloaded to the Pocket PC Terminal. For
more information, see ActiveSync Help.
• Limit the number of downloaded linked pages. In Internet Explorer on the desktop computer,
right-click the mobile favorite you want to change and then Properties. On the Download tab,
specify 0 or 1 for the number of linked pages you want to download.
