6-2 Pocket Internet Explorer
Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 on your computer, you can download
mobile favorites. (You can install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 from the Extras folder on
the ActiveSync CD.) Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web content to your
iPAQ H3000 so that you can view Web pages while you are disconnected from your ISP
and computer.
Use the Internet Explorer 5 plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites
quickly.
To create a mobile favorite:
1. Click Tools then Create Mobile Favorite in Internet Explorer 5 on your computer.
2. Enter a new name in the Name box to change the link name.
3. Select a desired update schedule in Update.
4. Click OK. Internet Explorer downloads the latest version of the Web page to your
computer.
NOTE: If you want to download the pages that are linked to the mobile favorite you just cre-
ated, in Internet Explorer on the computer, right-click the mobile favorite then click
Properties. On the Download tab, specify the number of links deep you want to
download. To conserve iPAQ H3000 memory, only go one level deep.
5. Synchronize your iPAQ H3000 and computer. Mobile favorites that are stored in the
Mobile Favorites folder in Internet Explorer 5 are downloaded to your iPAQ H3000.
NOTE: If you did not specify an update schedule in step 3, you will need to manually down-
load content to keep the information updated on your computer and iPAQ H3000.
Before synchronizing with your iPAQ H3000, in Internet Explorer on your computer,
click Tools then Synchronize. You will see the most recent content was downloaded
to the 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 computer, click View, Toolbars, then Customize.
To save iPAQ H3000 memory
Mobile favorites take up storage memory on your iPAQ H3000. To minimize the amount
of memory used:
• In the settings for the Favorites information type in ActiveSync options, turn off pic-
tures and sounds or stop some mobile favorites from being downloaded to the iPAQ
H3000. For more information, see ActiveSync Help.
• Limit the number of downloaded linked pages. In Internet Explorer on the computer,
right-click the mobile favorite you want to change then Properties. On the Download
tab, specify 0 or 1 for the number of linked pages you want to download.
