ActiveSync errors, Synchronization type and volume

3 Entering Information

Using ActiveSync

NOTE: When you are in roaming mode, you can synchronize manually to reduce roaming charges, or you can use the mobile schedule you’ve set.

NOTE: When your device is connected to your computer via the USB sync cable, synchronization occurs automatically—changes made on the computer or device is duplicated immediately.

To set up a wireless synchronization schedule:

1Tap > Programs > ActiveSync .

2Tap Menu > Schedule.

3Perform one or both of the following:

•Under Peak times, select a shorter interval when you are working or when e-mail volume is high.

•Under Off-peak times, select a longer interval or the “As items arrive” option.

•Enabling the “Use above settings when roaming” option is more consumptive in terms of battery power and roaming cost compare to manual synchronization.

4Tap ok.

Synchronization type and volume

By default, ActiveSync only synchronize information for Contacts, Calendar, Messaging (Outlook E-Mail), Tasks, and Favorites (for Internet Explorer Mobile). You can select which information types are synchronized. You can also control how much information is synchronized. To illustrate, when synchronizing Calendar, you can set ActiveSync to synchronize appointments within a certain date range and for specific categories only. For example business appointments from the past two weeks only.

To control the volume of information synchronized, see the ‘Synchronizing ...” section “Using the Windows Mobile Programs” on page 65.

NOTE: ActiveSync does not support synchronizing subfolders in Calendar and Contacts.

To select the type of information to synchronize:

IMPORTANT: If you decide to synchronize files, for example Word documents, ActiveSync needs to convert these files. Converted files may not contain all information found in original file.

1Connect your device to your computer.

2Click Tools > Options.

3Select the information type that you want to synchronize.

4If available, click Settings, and then select the options you want.

5Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each information type.
