ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with information
on your PC, such as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize
over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft Exchange Server,
if your company or service provider is running Microsoft Exchange
Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When you synchronize, ActiveSync
compares the information on your device with the information on your
PC and/or Exchange Server and updates all locations with the most
recent information.
With ActiveSync, you can:
• Synchronize information, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts,
Calendar, or Tasks information on your device with your PC, as
well as pictures, video, and music.
• Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments,
and Tasks on your device directly with Exchange Server so that
you can stay up to date even when your PC is turned off.
• Exchange files between your device and your PC without
synchronizing.
• Select which types of information are synchronized and specify
how much information is synchronized. For example, you can
choose how many weeks of past Calendar appointments to
synchronize.
Before you can synchronize information with a PC, you must first install
ActiveSync on your PC and create a synchronization relationship
between your device and the PC. You can install ActiveSync from the
Getting Started disc that comes with your device. ActiveSync is already
installed on your device.
Once you have installed ActiveSync and set up a synchronization
relationship, ActiveSync on the PC recognizes your device when you

reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a
system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default
settings—the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it
on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you
customized on the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software
and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset
• Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the
left side of your device.
The device restarts and displays the Today screen.
Warning! Always turn off your device before performing a soft reset or

6.3 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a
distance of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection.
You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long
as it is within range.
The software included with your device allows you to use Bluetooth in
the following ways:
• Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact
cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
• Create a dial-up modem connection between your device and a
Bluetooth-enabled phone, and then beam information using the
Bluetooth phone as a modem.
To turn on or off Bluetooth on your device

On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab >
Bluetooth.
2. Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device
discoverable to other devices check boxes.

devices, or to set up Bluetooth synchronization, tap Start > Settings >
System tab > Bluetooth Setting.

the radio off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in
situations where radio use is prohibited, such as onboard an
aircraft and in hospitals.

(PIN) on both devices. Creating a partnership between two devices is
a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices can
recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a
PIN again. Make sure the two devices are within a range of 10 meters
from one another, and Bluetooth is turned on and in discoverable
mode.
To create a Bluetooth partnership
