MICROSOFT ACTIVESYNC

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC. Synchronization compares the data on your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC with your computer and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:

•Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your iPAQ H3000 with your choice of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your computer.

•Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel documents between your iPAQ H3000 and computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information, for example, e-mail messages. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

•Back up and restore your iPAQ H3000 data.

•Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your iPAQ H3000 and computer.

•Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For exam- ple, you can synchronize continually while the iPAQ H3000 is in the cradle or only when you choose the synchronize command.

•Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is syn- chronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.

For information on installing ActiveSync, see the booklet accompanying the ActiveSync CD. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the computer.
