If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed down to the following names: “
Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”,
Dixon, Allan”.

Tip If you are synchronising directly with Exchange Server, you can use
this connection to the PC to "pass through" to the network, or you can synchronise without connecting to the PC over a cellular network. For more information on synchronising with the Exchange Server, see “Synchronising with Exchange Server” later in this chapter.
Start and stop synchronisation
You can manually synchronise either from your device or PC.
From your device
1. Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
2. Tap Sync.
To end synchronisation before it completes, tap Stop
.
From Windows Mobile Device Centre
1. Tap Start > Windows Mobile Device Centre.
2. Tap at the lower left of the Windows Mobile Device Centre.
To end synchronisation before it completes, tap .
From ActiveSync on your PC
When you connect your device to your PC, ActiveSync automatically opens on your PC and synchronises.
To manually start synchronisation, tap .
To end synchronisation before it completes, tap .
Change which information is synchronised
You can change the information types and the amount of information to synchronise for each type either from your device or your PC. Follow the steps below to change synchronisation settings from your device.
Note Before changing synchronisation settings on your device, disconnect it from
your PC.
60 Synchronising Information
1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Options.
2. Select the check box for any items you want to synchronise. If you
cannot select a check box, you might have to clear the check box for the same information type elsewhere in the list.
3. To change synchronisation settings for an information type, for
instance,
E-mail, select it and tap Settings. You can then set the download size limit, specify the time period of information to download, and more.
Note Some information types such as Favourites, Files and Media cannot be
selected in ActiveSync Options on your device. You can only select or clear these items from your PC’s Windows Mobile Device Centre or ActiveSync.
Synchronise with more than one computer
If you have set up a synchronisation partnership between your device and the PC, synchronisation keeps Outlook information up-to-date on both your device and PC.
A PC can have sync partnerships with many different Windows Mobile powered devices, but a device can have sync partnerships with at most two PCs only. To ensure that your device will synchronise properly with both PCs, set up the second PC using the same synchronisation settings you used on the first PC.
Notes • Outlook e-mail can be synchronised with only one computer.
To stop synchronising with one PC completely, tap Menu > Options, tap the computer name, then tap Delete.
Sync connection problem
The desktop Microsoft ActiveSync 4.x and later versions utilise a network type of connection with Windows Mobile powered devices, since this allows faster data transfer than a serial USB connection. When the PC is connected to the Internet or a local network, in some cases, the PC may disconnect
the
connection with your device in favour of the Internet or network connection
.
If this happens, tap Start > Settings > Connections
tab > USB to PC, then clear the Enable advanced network functionality check box. This makes your PC utilise a serial USB connection with your device.
The USB to PC
( ) icon appears on the Today Screen when serial USB
connection is used.

62 Synchronising Information
To receive e-mails and synchronise other information instantly
Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new
e-mails on your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. With this feature, items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately updated onto your device when these items have been changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a GPRS connection on your device.
The Direct Push feature works for your device only if it is connected to a private network (corporate network) that is using Microsoft Exchange Server Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync. You need to perform a full synchronisation between your device and the Exchange Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.
• Using ActiveSync to enable Direct Push

5.7 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active programme memory and shuts down all active programmes. This can be useful when your 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 your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programmes will remain.
To perform a soft reset
Use the stylus to press the RESET
button found at the bottom of your device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.
