26 HP Jornada 600 Series User’s Guide

Setting up Windows CE Services and establishing a partnership

Microsoft Windows CE Services with ActiveSync enables you to synchronize the information on your desktop PC with the information on your HP Jornada. Synchronization compares the data on your device with your desktop PC and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:

Keep your Pocket Outlook data current by synchronizing your

HP Jornada with your choice of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop PC. (Inbox synchronization with Schedule+ and Outlook Express are not currently supported.)

Synchronize Word and Excel documents, Access and other ODBC databases and tables, Mobile channels, and InkWriter documents between your HP Jornada and desktop PC. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

With Windows CE Services, you can:

Back up and restore your HP Jornada data

Add and remove programs on your HP Jornada

Move and copy files (rather than synchronize files) between your device and your desktop PC

Windows CE Services includes several components. The Windows CE Services Setup Wizard detects which software components are needed and prompts you to set up only the necessary components. For instance:

If you do not already have Outlook or Schedule+ installed, the Setup Wizard will attempt to install Schedule+ version 7.0a

The Setup Wizard can add Inbox extensions to enable you to transfer messages to your desktop mail client—Exchange or Outlook

You may need to restart your PC after installing each component.
