44 Hewlett-Packard Jornada 420 Palm-size PC

Following the New Partnership Wizard

The New Partnership Wizard helps you create a partnership and gives you options for synchronizing data, e-mail messages, and files between the HP Jornada and desktop PC. When the New Mobile Device Detected dialog box appears on your desktop PC, click Synchronize, and then follow the instructions on the screen of your desktop PC to complete the New Partnership Wizard.

The Wizard prompts you to type a name and a description for the P/PC. The name can be anything you choose (up to 15 alphanumeric characters, no spaces) and should make it easy for you to identify the HP Jornada. The description could be the make and model (for example, HP Jornada 420) or a property control number.

You can later change the device name and description using the Communication control panel on the HP Jornada. On the Start menu, tap Programs, tap Communication, and then tap Connections.

The Wizard also prompts you to choose settings for synchronization: Manual, On Connect, or Continuous. If you choose Continuous, information is synchronized whenever it changes for as long as the computers are connected.

The P/PC icon appears in the Mobile Devices window after the new partnership is created, which can take a minute or two.

To change the type of items that are synchronized after you have completed the wizard, select the P/PC icon in the Mobile Devices folder and then click ActiveSync Options on the Tools menu.

Also, regardless of the options you choose while completing the Wizard, you can also synchronize at any moment by choosing the Synchronize Now command from the Tools menu of the Mobile Devices window. Or, right-click the connection icon in the taskbar of the desktop PC, and then click Synchronize Now. For more information, see “Synchronizing data” on page 50.
