Microsoft ActiveSync
Microsoft ActiveSync enables you to synchronize the information on your
desktop PC with the information on your hp Jornada. In addition, you can
back up data from your hp Jornada to your desktop PC and restore this
data to your hp Jornada, and copy files between your hp Jornada and
desktop PC.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop PC
from the Pocket PC Companion CD. ActiveSync is already installed on
your hp Jornada.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you
connect your hp Jornada to your desktop PC, set up a partnership so you
can synchronize information between your hp Jornada and your desktop
computer, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first
synchronization process will begin automatically when you finish using the
wizard.
Synchronizing Data
Synchronization compares the data on your hp Jornada with your desktop
PC and updates both computers with the most recent information. For
example, you can
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
hp Jornada and desktop PC. Your files are automatically converted to
the correct format.
• Synchronize e-mail messages in your hp Jornada Inbox with e-mail
messages in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop PC.
• Copy favorite Web site addresses and any Web pages you have
marked for offline viewing in Microsoft Internet Explorer to your hp
Jornada.
• Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks databases
up-to-date by synchronizing your hp Jornada with Microsoft Outlook
data on your desktop PC.
Synchronization with Microsoft Outlook 2002 requires ActiveSync 3.5 on the
desktop PC.
