4.1 Using ActiveSync
With ActiveSync on both your PC and your Pocket PC Phone, you can exchange information
between a PC or server and your Pocket PC Phone. This process is called “synchroniza-
tion.” To synchronize your Pocket PC Phone with your PC, you must install ActiveSync on
the PC. ActiveSync is already installed on your Pocket PC Phone.
Using ActiveSync, you can:
n Synchronize information between your Pocket PC Phone and PC or server so that you
have the latest information in all locations.
n Change synchronization settings and synchronization schedule.
n Copy les between your Pocket PC Phone and PC.
n Back up and restore information saved on your Pocket PC Phone.
n Add programs to your Pocket PC Phone.
n Remove programs from your Pocket PC Phone.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use
ActiveSync Options to turn synchronization on and off for specic information types.
You can synchronize information between your Pocket PC Phone and a server if your com-
pany or service provider is running Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Installing ActiveSync
Install ActiveSync on your PC from the Application CD that came with your Pocket PC Phone.
Or, download the software free from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile.
Once ActiveSync is installed on your PC, you will be prompted to connect, and create a
partnership with, your Pocket PC Phone by using a cable, cradle, infrared, or Bluetooth
connection.

nization will automatically begin when you nish the
