Overview
The PIM Synchronization Application is used to synchronize the Personal Information
Manager (PIM) database of this computer with the PIM database of a remote Bluetooth
device.

 Microsoft Outlook Express
 Lotus Notes.
The supported data types are:
 Business cards
 Calendar items
 Email (with or without attachments)
 Notes.
Configure PIM Synchronization
The Bluetooth Configuration Panel > Client Applications > PIM Synchronization >
General tab provides options to configure:
 The application name—to change it, highlight the existing name and enter the
new name.
 Enable or disable secure connection. To enable secure connection, place a
checkmark in the box.
 The PIM items to be synchronized and the PIM on this computer with which
those items should be synced.
 The data item types which can be synchronized are:
 Business cards
 Calendar items
 Email (with or without attachments-see below)
 Notes
Possible synchronization options for each of these data item types include:
 Do Not Synchronize-this item type will not be synchronized
 Synchronize Microsoft Outlook-this item type will be synced with its
matching entry in Microsoft Outlook, regardless of the PIM that contains this
entry on the remote device. If a matching Outlook entry does not exist, it will
be created
 Synchronize Outlook-Express-this item type will be synced with its
matching entry in Express, regardless of the PIM that contains this entry on
the remote device. If a matching Express entry does not exist, it will be
created
NOTE: If synchronization is enabled for a specific item type, but is not enabled for that
item type on the remote device, synchronization WILL NOT take place for that item.
