Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
ActiveSync is a Microsoft utility program that allows you to share and update
information between your GoBook Q•100 and a PC running Microsoft Windows.
Once installed, you must connect the GoBook Q•100 to the PC to use the program. There
are three connection options available, depending on the capabilities of your PC.
Connection can be made via the serial port, USB port or wireless infrared port. The
necessary cables and software are provided with the GoBook Q•100.
Prepare the GoBook Q•100 by completing the required connection and switching the unit
on. Once ActiveSync is installed it will search all the available communication ports on
the PC for a remote device.
When a connection is established, the GoBook Q•100 will chime and the ActiveSync
window will appear on the PC.
Once ActiveSync is installed on the PC, an icon will appear in the system tray. Whenever
the GoBook Q•100 is connected again, ActiveSync will automatically launch and
synchronize data.
NOTE Wait for the synchronization process to complete before disconnecting the
GoBook Q•100. When disconnected, the GoBook Q•100 will sound a disconnect chime.
While the GoBook Q•100 is connected via ActiveSync, it appears as a Mobile Device in
My Computer and Windows GoBook Q•100. This makes it possible to copy files
between the GoBook Q•100 and the PC.
If you have Microsoft Office installed on your PC, you can read and edit documents
created on your GoBook Q•100. To copy documents or data from the GoBook Q•100,
open Windows GoBook Q•100, locate and select the file you want, then drag it or copy
and paste it to a suitable directory on your PC. While the file is being transferred, its
format is automatically converted from Pocket Office to (PC) Office.
Likewise, files can be copied and automatically converted from (PC) Office to Pocket
Office.
