Table 1. Refresh options

Refresh option	Behavior
Only once	Synchronize one time, but never again.
Every sync	Update sets of pages that change more than once a day
	by enabling a synchronization of the channel during ev-
	ery device synchronization.
Only once every	Update once every <x> hours daily, or only on week-
<x> hours	days.
	The Only once every <x> hours option synchronizes and
	then disappears until the next synchronization time pe-
	riod starts. After a synchronization, this method does not
	synchronize again until the specified hourly period has
	passed.
Daily at <time>	Update at specific times during the day.
	The daily refresh option synchronizes and then disap-
	pears until the next daily time period starts. After syn-
	chronizing using this method, the channel will not
	synchronize again until the next day and time.
Days of the week	Checking only those days of the week on which the Daily
	at <time> synchronization should occur restricts syn-
	chronizations to those days.
