5. Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your computer with the
information on your PiN. Synchronization compares the data on your PiN with your computer
and updates both computers with the most recent information.
NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use
ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.
Use ActiveSync to:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your PiN with Microsoft Outlook
data on your computer.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your PiN and computer.
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your PiN data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your PiN and computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example,
you can synchronize continually while connected to your computer or only when you
choose the synchronize command.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is
synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you
want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your computer from the PiN 570
Companion CD. ActiveSync comes preinstalled on your PiN.
WARNING
Do not connect your PiN to your computer unless you have Microsoft ActiveSync
installed or until prompted to do so during the installation process.
