32 HP Jornada 700 Series Handheld PC

Setting up Microsoft ActiveSync and establishing a partnership

Microsoft 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 Microsoft Outlook 2000 on your desktop PC. (Inbox synchronization with Outlook Express is not 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 Microsoft ActiveSync, 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

Microsoft ActiveSync includes several components. The Microsoft ActiveSync 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 installed, the Setup Wizard will attempt to install Outlook 2000.

The Setup Wizard can add Inbox extensions to enable

you to transfer messages to your desktop mail client— Exchange or Outlook.
