Appendix B Migrating data from other devices

Transferring data from a palm-size or handheld PC

If you are currently using a Windows-powered palm-size or handheld PC, you can transfer data to your HP Jornada Pocket PC. If you have offline folders in Inbox on your palm-size or handheld PC that contain e-mail messages you want to transfer to your Pocket PC, you will have to follow a separate procedure, included below.

To transfer data from another Windows-powered device

1.Install Microsoft ActiveSync 3.1 on your desktop PC. For information on installing ActiveSync, see the Getting Started with Microsoft ActiveSync booklet.

2.Synchronize your device with your desktop PC, so that the information on your desktop PC is current.

3.If you have files on your device that you want to transfer, such as Note Taker notes and recordings, turn file conversion off in ActiveSync options so that the files stay in device format, and use ActiveSync Explorer to copy the files to your desktop PC. For specific instructions, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop PC.

4.Synchronize your Pocket PC with your desktop PC. This will update your HP Jornada with the current data from your desktop PC.

5.Reinstall programs. Check with the program vendors to find out if new versions that have been optimized for the Pocket PC are available.

6.Using ActiveSync Explorer, copy the files you transferred to your desktop PC in step 3 to your Pocket PC.

7.In ActiveSync, turn file conversion on again.
