Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on
your desktopwith the information on your CN30 Mobile Computer. Syn-
chronization compares the data on your CN30 Mobile Computer with
your desktop and updates both computers with the most recent informa-
tion. For example:
Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your CN30
Mobile Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.
Synchronize Microsoft Wordand Microsoft Excel files between your
CN30 Mobile Computer and desktop. Your files are automatically con-
verted to the correct format
Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on andoff
for specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
Back up and restore your CN30 Mobile Computer data.
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your CN30 Mobile Com-
puter and desktop.
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop or only when you choose the synchronize command.
Select which information types are synchronized and control how much
data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of
past appointments you want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop from
the Windows Mobile Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installedon
your CN30 Mobile Computer.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you con-
