Overview

The PIM Synchronization Application is used to synchronize the Personal Information Manager (PIM) database of this computer with the PIM database of a remote Bluetooth device.

The supported PIMs are:

•Microsoft Outlook

•Microsoft Outlook Express

•Lotus Notes

The supported data types are:

•Business cards

•Calendar items

•Email (with or without attachments)

•Notes

Configure PIM Synchronization

The Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Client Applications > PIM Synchronization > General tab provides options to configure:

•The application name—To change it, highlight the existing name and enter the new name.

•Enable or disable secure connection—To enable secure connection, place a checkmark in the box.

•The PIM items to be synchronized and the PIM on this computer with which those items should be synced.

NOTE: If synchronization is enabled for a specific item type, but is not enabled for that item type on the remote device, synchronization WILL NOT take place for that item.

The data item types which can be synchronized are:

•Business cards

•Calendar items

•Email (with or without attachments-see below)

•Notes

Possible synchronization options for each of these data item types include:

•Do Not Synchronize—This item type will not be synchronized.

•Synchronize Microsoft Outlook—This item type will be synced with its matching entry in Microsoft Outlook, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a matching Outlook entry does not exist, it will be created.

•Synchronize Outlook-Express—This item type will be synced with its matching entry in Express, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on the remote device. If a matching Express entry does not exist, it will be created.
