ActiveSync
Once a relationship (partnership) has been established with Connect (on a desktop computer),
ActiveSync will synchronize using the wireless link, serial port, USB or the infrared port on the
MX5X. Refer to ActiveSync Processes later in this guide.
Note: ActiveSync does not transmit through the IR port in vehicle cradles. It will transport
through the IR port of the MX5 desktop cradles.
For more information about using ActiveSync on your desktop computer, open ActiveSync, then
open ActiveSync Help.
