Synchronizing with Your Computer

Using Microsoft ActiveSync

Microsoft ActiveSync is a program you install on your desktop or laptop computer to transfer data back and forth. In this manner, you only have to input information once either at your computer or your HP iPAQ. Using ActiveSync and the sync cable, you connect your HP iPAQ and a computer to:

Copy files (data, audio or video) between your HP iPAQ and up to two host computers so you always have the latest information in all locations.

Install programs on your device.

Back up and restore files.

Synchronize web links.

Send and receive e-mail messages.

Request meetings.

Installing ActiveSync

These instructions assume the battery has been previously charged.

ÄCAUTION: The first time you synchronize, perform Steps 1 and 2 below (install Microsoft ActiveSync on your computer). Then, when prompted to do so, connect your HP iPAQ to your computer.
