Checking synchronized information

Immediately after you set up a sync relationship, ActiveSync starts automatically and initiates the first synchronization between your device and your computer.

Refer to the succeeding sections for more details on synchronization.

After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your device. You will notice that the calendar information in Microsoft Outlook on your computer was copied to your device, and the information that you have on your device was copied to your computer.

NOTE Open Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer to see the details of copied information from your device.
