Synchronizing Your Device

4.1 Using ActiveSync

4.2 Synchronizing Information

4.3 Synchronizing via Infrared

and Bluetooth

4.4 Synchronizing Music,

Video, and Pictures

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.

56 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone

You may be able to synchronize your device with Exchange Server through your company or wireless service provider. If you plan to 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.

Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone | 57

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.

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

PC2

Device

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2 are now also on PC1.

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1 are now also on PC2.

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.

58 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone

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.

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.

Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone | 59

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.

4. Tap Menu > Connect via IR.

5. Tap Sync.

60 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone

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 along 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 storage card into your device (32MB or larger is

recommended).

• 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.

For information about using Windows Media Player on the device, see Chapter 8.

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.
