This chapter tells you what the Microsoft ActiveSync program is and what you need to do to use it.

Using Microsoft ActiveSync

NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your V35. You need to install ActiveSync on your PC. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see Step 5 of the Quick Start procedure in Chapter 1, “Installing Microsoft ActiveSync and Connecting to Your PC.”

Microsoft ActiveSync allows you to synchronize the information on your PC with information on your V35. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example, you can:

•Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks databases up-to date by synchronizing your V35 with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.

IMPORTANT: Outlook must be installed on your PC in order to synchronize your email data.

•Synchronize email messages in your V35 Inbox with email messages in Microsoft Outlook on your PC.

•Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your V35 and PC. Your files will be automatically converted to the correct format.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

•Back up and restore your V35 data.

•Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your V35 and PC.

•Add and remove programs on your V35.
