HTC Guide to ActiveSync Setup for Devices

56 Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security

4.1 Setting Up ActiveSync

Microsoft ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with information on your PC, such as Microsoft Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft Exchange Server, if your company or service provider is running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.

Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:

•Synchronize information, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks information, as well as media files, such as pictures, video, and music between your device and your PC.

•Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments, and Tasks on your device directly with Exchange Server so that you can stay up-to-date even when your PC is turned off.

•Copy files between your device and your PC without synchronizing.

•Select which types of information are synchronized and specify how much information is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past Calendar appointments to synchronize.

•Add and remove programs on your device. For details, see Chapter 5, “Adding and Removing Programs.”

To install and set up ActiveSync on the computer

1.Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described in the Getting Started CD.

2.After ActiveSync is installed, the Synchronization Setup Wizard automatically starts when you connect your device to the PC via a USB cable provided with your device, an infrared connection or Bluetooth connection.
