32 HP Jornada 600 Series User’s Guide

The wizard also prompts you to choose settings for synchronization. If you enable synchronization, you can set ActiveSync either to synchronize automatically each time you connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC, or to synchronize continuously, whenever the synchronized information changes, for as long as the computers are connected.

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. For more information, see the Synchronizing data section in this chapter.

Troubleshooting partnerships

If you are unable to establish a connection between your HP Jornada and your desktop PC, double-tap the connection icon in the status area of the taskbar on your HP Jornada. The Connection Status dialog box may provide information about the problem.

You should also confirm that both the desktop PC and the HP Jornada are communicating at the same baud rate. To check the baud rate on your desktop PC, click Communications on the File menu of the Mobile Devices window. You can check and change the baud rate on your HP Jornada by using the Communications control panel. On the Start menu, point to Settings, tap Control Panel, and then double-tap the Communications icon.

Verify that the sync cable from your docking cradle or HP Jornada is connected to the port listed on the Communications tab of the Windows CE Services Properties dialog box (this is the port you selected when setting up Windows CE Services).
