Synchronising data with ActiveSync
To also have the current version of the data you have processed on the road on your Pocket PC
available on your PC/notebook, you must copy these data to your PC/notebook. This procedure is
conveniently enabled with so-called data synchronisation:
In the ActiveSync program you can specify that the respective latest version of a file be detected and
then automatically updated on the respective data carrier – regardless of whether it is the Pocket PC
or a PC/notebook.
You can synchronise your data between your Pocket PC and your notebook or PC via the cradle
(see the chapter "Using the cradle“), using the ActiveSync cable or via infrared or BLUETOOTH.

Installing ActiveSync

The ActiveSync cable and the ActiveSync software are provided for data synchronisation. Using the
ActiveSync cable you connect the cradle or the Pocket PC itself to your PC/notebook . The
ActiveSync software enables you to carry out routine data synchronisation. ActiveSync is already
installed on your Pocket PC. You need only install ActiveSync on your PC or notebook.
The ActiveSync program and the required drivers are contained on the "Pocket PC Companion CD".
Ê Insert the "Pocket PC Companion CD" in the CD-ROM drive of your PC or notebook.
Ê Click on the yellow arrow.
Click on Start here and follow the instructions on the screen.
For instructions on how to synchronise data using ActiveSync, see the Microsoft User’s Guide.

Connecting Pocket PC directly to ActiveSync cable

Ê Connect the ActiveSync cable (D) to the connection for the ActiveSync cable (26).
Ê Connect the other end of the ActiveSync cable to the USB port of your notebook or PC. (A
serial ActiveSync cable for connection to serial ports of notebooks/PCs is av ailable as an
accessory.)

Establishing an ActiveSync partnership

Before the first data synchronisation you must establish a partnership between the Pocket LOOX
600 and your PC or notebook. The ActiveSync Setup Wizard will help you do this. After you have
specified the desired and required settings for the synchronisation in the Wizard, the first
synchronisation starts automatically.
Detailed information on data synchronisation with ActiveSync is contained in the Mic ros oft User’s
Guide on the CD.
