34 HP Jornada 540 Series User’s Guide

3.Set the number of partnerships your HP Jornada will have. If you will synchronize information between your Pocket PC and more than one computer, or if you have already established a partnership with another desktop PC, select two.

4.Set options for synchronization, including the types of files and information you want to synchronize and whether to synchronize automatically each time you connect.

If you choose to establish partnerships with two desktop PCs, the two desktop PCs must be configured with the same synchronization settings. In addition, both desktop PCs must use the same PIM program (for example, Microsoft Outlook).

Synchronizing data

Synchronization compares the data on your HP Jornada with the data on your desktop PC and updates both computers with the most recent information. You can synchronize any of the files on your HP Jornada with the corresponding files on your desktop PC. For example:

•Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks databases with Microsoft Outlook on your desktop PC.

•Synchronize Microsoft® Word and Microsoft® Excel files between your device and desktop PC. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

•Synchronize e-mail messages in your HP Jornada Inbox with e-mail messages in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop PC.

•Copy favorite Web site addresses and any Web pages you have marked for offline viewing in Microsoft Internet Explorer to your HP Jornada.

By default, ActiveSync synchronizes only Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and your Mobile Favorites. You can set synchronization options when you first establish a partnership, or use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for other files and information types.

Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while your HP Jornada is connected, or only when you choose the synchronize command.

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