5. Verify that the check box beside the Calendar application is selected and click
OK. You return to the Intellisync window.
6. In the Synchronize now section at the top of the window, select the
Synchronize PIM check box.
7. Click Synchronize now to transfer your desktop Calendar entries to your
handheld. A dialog box appears. If you continue with the operation, your
existing handheld Calendar entries are erased and are replaced with your
desktop Calendar entries. Click OK to continue.
The desktop software performs a serial synchronization and the entries from your
desktop Calendar are transferred to your handheld. Any subsequent calendar
updates are sent over the wireless network. As long as the check box is selected
beside the Calendar application in the Handheld Configuration window, wireless
calendar synchronization is enabled. If you clear the check box or select a new
translator, wireless calendar synchronization is automatically disabled.
If a change is made to an existing appointment or a new appointment is added in
your desktop Calendar, and you have wireless calendar synchronization enabled,
you do not receive notification of the change on your handheld. Check your
handheld’s Calendar regularly to see any updates.
Note: In the Choose Translator window, Synchronize is selected as the default
operation. This operation keeps your handheld and desktop Calendars synchronized
over the wireless network. If you change the operation to Import, any change that you
make on your desktop Calendar is imported to your handheld Calendar over the
wireless network. If you change the operation to Export, any change that you make on
your handheld Calendar is exported to your desktop Calendar over the wireless
network.
Tip: If you have many appointments to transfer to your handheld, you might also want
to select only the Calendar application for synchronization.
Note: If you update your handheld with new applications, you might need to
reconfigure wireless calendar synchronization.
To receive updates to your handheld Calendar, you must be within an area of sufficient
wireless coverage. GPRS and one or more bars must appear with the wireless coverage
indicator to receive updates over the wireless network.
