Page 28

Note Whenever possible Microsoft ActiveSync automatically translates files and email attachments during synchronization. This allows you to use the MobilePro to view and work with files created on your host PC with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, among others.

However, as noted in the readme.doc file on the Microsoft ActiveSync CD, PowerPoint files created or modified on the MobilePro are not translated for viewing or modification on your host PC. This limitation does not apply to Pocket Word or Pocket Excel files.

Synchronizing with Your Host PC

Once your MobilePro is configured for synchronization with your host PC, synchronization occurs when the ActiveSync components on the NEC MobilePro and on the host PC are activated. When synchronizing via the serial port, the process occurs automatically. When synchronizing via the infrared port, manual intervention is required. Refer to the next two sections for details about synchronizing with your host PC.

Synchronizing via the Serial Port

Once the MobilePro is configured for synchronization the synchronization process automatically occurs each time you connect the MobilePro to your host PC, via the serial port. In addition, you can manually initiate the synchronization process using Microsoft ActiveSync on your host PC. Simply open the ActiveSync window, click File, and click Synchronize.

Synchronizing via the Infrared Port

Once the MobilePro is configured for synchronization via infrared, the ActiveSync component on the MobilePro must be manually activated to initiate the synchronization process. Simply tap Start, Programs, Communication, ActiveSync to initiate synchronization via infrared.

Resynchronizing Your MobilePro

Once synchronized, you may need to re-establish communication between the MobilePro and your host PC if you soft reset the MobilePro or you warm boot your host PC. To re-establish communication between the MobilePro and your host PC, do one of the following:
