Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone
56 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone

4.1 Using ActiveSync

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 connect it, and automatically transfers the synchronization settings you specified on your device.
You may be able to synchronize your device with Exchange Server through your company or wireless service provider. If you plan to
Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone | 57
do so, obtain the name of the Exchange Server, your user name, password, and domain name from your administrator before starting the Sync Setup Wizard.
To install and set up ActiveSync
1. Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described on the Getting
Started disc. After Setup completes, the Sync Setup Wizard automatically starts when you connect your device to the PC.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the wizard. In
the Sync Setup Wizard, do one or both of the following:
Create a synchronization relationship between your PC and
the device.
Configure an Exchange Server connection to synchronize
directly with Exchange Server.
3. Choose information types to synchronize.
Note When you finish the wizard, ActiveSync synchronizes your device
automatically. Once synchronization completes, you can disconnect your device from your PC.

4.2 Synchronizing Information

When you connect your device to the PC using a USB or serial cable, an infrared connection, or a Bluetooth connection, ActiveSync will immediately synchronize. While the device is connected, ActiveSync synchronizes every time you make a change on either the PC or the device.
Synchronizing Outlook information
If you have set up a synchronization relationship between your device and the PC, synchronization keeps Outlook information up-to-date on both computers. ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount of information by default to save storage space on your device. You can change the amount of information synchronized for a given information type in Settings for the information type.
58 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone
You can set up your device to synchronize with more than one PC or with a combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When synchronizing with multiple computers, the items that you synchronize will appear on all of the computers with which they are synchronized. For example, if you have set up synchronization with two PCs (PC1 and PC2), which have different items, and you synchronize 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 synchronized with only one computer.
To start and stop synchronization
To synchronize Outlook information and other local information
on the PC, including media files, connect your device to the PC using Bluetooth, infrared (IR) or a cable or cradle.
If you are synchronizing directly with Exchange Server, you can use this connection to the PC to "pass though" to the network, or you can synchronize without connecting to the PC over a cellular or Wi-Fi network.
In ActiveSync, tap Sync.
To end synchronization before it completes, tap Stop.
To change which information is synchronized
1. In ActiveSync on the device, tap Menu > Options.
Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone | 59
2. Do one or both of the following:
Select the check box for any items you want to synchronize.
If you cannot select a check box, you might have to clear the check box for the same information type elsewhere in the list.
Clear the check box for any items you want to stop
synchronizing.
3. To stop synchronizing with one PC completely, tap the PC and
tap Delete.
Notes Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
To change available synchronization settings, select the type of information and tap Settings.
To synchronize directly with Exchange Server
You can set up synchronization with Exchange Server on your device, if it is available to you through your company or wireless service provider. However, you should first ask your administrator for the following information and then carry on with the steps: Exchange Server name, your user name, password, and domain name.
1. In ActiveSync on the device, tap Menu > Configure Server. If
you have not yet set up synchronization with Exchange Server, this will say Add Server Source.
2. In Server address, enter the name of the server running
Exchange Server, and tap Next.
3. Enter your user name, password, and domain, and tap Next.
To change the rules for resolving synchronization conflicts, tap
Advanced.
4. Select the check boxes for the types of information items that you
want to synchronize with Exchange Server.
5. To change available synchronization settings, select the type of
information, and tap Settings.
6. Tap Finish.

4.3 Synchronizing via Infrared and Bluetooth

You can connect your device to the PC to synchronize using the local wireless technologies, such as infrared (IR) and Bluetooth. These technologies have almost similar but slightly differing requirements.
To synchronize with a PC via infrared
1. Follow the instructions in ActiveSync Help on the PC for setting
up your PC to receive infrared beams.
2. Line up the infrared (IR) ports according to the instructions in the
manufacturer’s documentation for your device so that they are unobstructed and within close range.
3. On the device, tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.

To synchronize with a PC via Bluetooth
1. Follow the instructions in ActiveSync Help on the PC for
configuring Bluetooth on your PC to support ActiveSync.
2. On the device, tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
3. Tap Menu > Connect via Bluetooth. Make sure that Bluetooth is
turned on at the device and the PC, and that they are within close range.
4. If this is the first time you have connected to this PC via
Bluetooth, you must first complete the Bluetooth wizard on the device and set up a Bluetooth partnership between your device and the PC. For more information about enabling and configuring Bluetooth, see Chapter 6.
Note You can also use the Sync Setup Wizard to set up the device to
synchronize remotely with Exchange Server. This wizard is started when you connect your mobile device to your PC after installing ActiveSync on the PC.
Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone | 61

4.4 Synchronizing Music, Video, and Pictures

If you want to carry your music or other digital media with you along while you travel, ActiveSync works with Windows Media Player to synchronize music, video, and pictures with your device.
Other than selecting the Media information type in ActiveSync to be synchronized, all media synchronization settings must be set in Windows Media Player. Before media can be synchronized, you must do the following:
Install Windows Media Player Version 10 on the PC.
Connect your device to the PC with a USB cable. If the device
is currently connected using Bluetooth or infrared, you must end that connection before media can be synchronized.
Insert a 32-MB or larger storage card into your device.
Set up a sync partnership between the storage card and
Windows Media Player.
Change Media synchronization settings
Once you select the Media information type in ActiveSync to be synchronized, any of your favorite music, video, and picture files in Windows Media Player playlists can be synchronized. All you have to do is set up synchronization in Windows Media Player for those media files.
To set up a sync relationship with a storage card
1. Open Windows Media Player.
2. Click the Sync tab.
3. Select the storage card.
4. Click Set up Sync.

5.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally you may need to reset your Pocket PC Phone. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when the device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs 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 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.

6.5 Using Wireless Manager
Wireless Manager allows you to view and manage Wi-Fi Internet connections, Bluetooth, and second generation network (GPRS) on your device. You can use the device’s Power Save Mode to make optimal use of the battery under the WLAN networking environment, view a variety of data related to the current configuration and signal quality, and increase network security.
To run Wireless LAN on your device, you need access to broadband Internet, and the necessary access point or router that emits WLAN signals. If you do not have access to broadband Internet, consult your ISP before you try to run this utility. However, the availability and range of your device’s WLAN signal depends on the number, infrastructure, and other objects through which the signal passes.
Notes You can activate Bluetooth on your device and communicate with other
Bluetooth enabled devices. To communicate, make sure you have another device with Bluetooth activated on it, which is within the close
range of your device (within 10-meter range). To activate a second generation network like GPRS on your device and
communicate with other devices on the network, you need to have a SIM or USIM card installed on your device.
Check for a Wireless LAN signal
Before you start a Wi-Fi connection, verify that your device has access to a Wireless LAN channel signal. You can check the current wireless connection status from the following two screens of your device.
Today screen. If your device detects a WLAN network connection, the WLAN connection icon appears at the top of the Today screen and a “W” icon appears at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Wireless LAN Main screen. The current connection status and signal quality for each specific wireless channel appears on the Wireless LAN Manager screen with the current configuration.
