If you have set up a synchronisation relationship between your device and the
PC, synchronisation keeps Outlook information up-to-date on both computers.
ActiveSync synchronises a limited amount of information by default to save
storage space on your device. You can change the amount of information
synchronised for a given information type in Settings for the information type.
You can set up your device to synchronise with more than one PC or with a
combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When synchronising
with multiple computers, the items that you synchronise will appear on all of the
computers with which they are synchronised. For example, if you have set up
synchronisation with two PCs (PC1 and PC2), which have different items, and
you synchronise Contacts and Calendar on the device with both computers, the
result is as follows:
Location New state
PC1 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2 are now
also on PC1.
PC2 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1 are now
also on PC2.
Device All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1 and PC2
are on the device.
Note Outlook e-mail can be synchronised with only one computer.

Occasionally you may need to reset your MDA Pro. A normal (or soft) reset of
your device clears all active programme memory and shuts down all active
programmes. This can be useful when the device is running slower than normal,
or a programme is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary
after the installation of some programmes. If a soft reset is performed when
programmes are running, unsaved work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard 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 programmes you installed,
data you entered, and settings you customised on the device will be lost. Only
Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programmes will remain.
To perform a soft reset
=
Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the left side of
your MDA Pro.
