Synchronising information
Using Microsoft
®
ActiveSync
®
, you can synchronise the
information on your computer with the information on your
phone. Synchronisation compares the data on your phone
with your computer and updates both computers with the
most recent information.
For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronising
your phone with Microsoft Outlook data on your
computer.
• Synchronise Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files
between your phone and computer. Your files are
automatically converted to the correct format.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your phone data.
• Copy (rather than synchronise) files between your phone
and computer.
• Control when synchronisation occurs by selecting a
synchronisation mode. For example, you can
synchronise continually while connected to your
computer or only when you choose the synchronise
command.
• Select which information types are synchronised and
control how much data is synchronised. For example,
you can choose how many weeks of past appointments
you want synchronised.
Note
: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically
synchronise all types of information. Use ActiveSync
options to turn synchronisation on and off for specific
information types.
