You can set ActiveSync either to synchronize automatically each time you
connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC or to synchronize continu-
ously whenever the synchronized information changes, for as long as the
computers are connected. You can also synchronize at any moment by
choosing Synchronize Now from the Tools menu in the Mobile Devices
window.
Do not remove your HP Jornada from the docking cradle, disconnect the sync cable, or
turn off your HP Jornada while synchronization is in progress.
Synchronizing selected data
You can synchronize some or all of the following items:
Pocket Outlook data—Synchronize the Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks
information on your HP Jornada with information stored in Outlook or
Schedule+ on your desktop PC.
E-mail messages—Share messages between selected folders in your
HP Jornada Inbox and Microsoft Exchange or Outlook on your desktop
PC. For more information, see the Synchronizing e-mail messages
section in this chapter.
Files—Synchronize the contents of the Synchronized Files folder (inside
My Documents) on your HP Jornada with files stored in your My
Documents folder (Windows 95) or in your Personal folder (Windows NT)
on your desktop PC.
To specify data to synchronize
1. On your desktop PC, open the Mobile Devices window, and then
select your HP Jornada icon.
2. On the Tools menu, click ActiveSync Options.
3. On the General tab of the ActiveSync Options dialog box, select the
check boxes beside the services you want to synchronize.
4. To set specific options (for example, to indicate how many weeks of
Calendar data to synchronize, or to synchronize only active tasks),
select the appropriate service, and then click Options.
Reducing the amount of data to synchronize, for example, by synchronizing only 1 or 2
weeks of Calendar data, can significantly speed up the synchronization process. If you use
Microsoft Outlook, Windows CE Services synchronizes only 2 weeks of calendar data by
default.
