Chapter 4: Configuring The Unit
Setting Up ActiveSync
• Partnership - A partnership connection allows for synchronization of files,
e-mail and other data. If the NETBOOK PRO is password protected, a pass-
word prompt will appear before allowing synchronization. It is necessary to
establish a partnership before trying to connect to ActiveSync via Ethernet,
Bluetooth, or 802.11.
You can disconnect any ActiveSync connection by double-clicking on the blue icon
in the NETBOOK PRO’s system tray and selecting the Disconnect button from
the dialogue.

communications port on your computer (usually COM1 or COM2).
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the NETBOOK PRO serial
port. The port is behind the rubber cover on the left hand side of the unit
(labelled with the symbol).
