HP 820 E manual Establishing a partnership, Following the New Partnership Wizard

Chapter 4 Connecting to your desktop PC 71

Establishing a partnership

After you set up Windows CE Services on your desktop PC, you are prompted to establish a partnership between your desktop PC and your HP Jornada. The partnership enables your desktop PC to recognize your HP Jornada when trans- ferring files or synchronizing data.

You can establish partnerships between your HP Jornada and up to two desktop PCs (for example, your home PC and your office PC). A single desktop PC can partner with any number of H/PCs or palm-size PCs. This is useful if you have more than one computer running WindowsÊCE, or if several mobile professionals share a single desktop PC.

Following the New Partnership Wizard

The New Partnership Wizard will help you create a partner- ship and offer you options for synchronizing Pocket Outlook data, e-mail messages, and files between your HPÊJornada and desktop PC. When the New Mobile Device Detected dialog box appears on your desktop PC, click Synchronize, and then follow the instructions on the screen of your desktop PC to complete the New Partnership Wizard.

The wizard prompts you to type a name and a description for your HP Jornada. The name can be anything you choose (up to 15 alphanumeric characters, no spaces) and should provide an easy way for you to identify your HP Jornada. The description could be the make and model of the device (e.g., HP Jornada 820 H/PC) or a property control number.

You can later change the device name and description using the Communications control panel on your HP Jornada. On the Start menu, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click the Communications icon.

The wizard also prompts you to choose settings for synchroni- zation. If you choose to enable synchronization, you can set ActiveSync either to synchronize automatically each time
