Connecting to a desktop PC
Connecting your PC-EPhone to a desktop PC enables you to synchronize your PC-EPhone PIMS
data(PC-EPhone Calendar, PC-EPhone Tasks, PC-EPhone Contacts) and files with desktop
applications data(Outlook 2000) and files, and enables you to Backup and Restore your PC-EPhone
data to and from a desktop computer.
Synchronization is the process of comparing data on your PC-EPhone and your desktop PC and
updating both computers with the most recent information. As these features are provided through
Microsoft ActiveSync with the desktop PC and your PC-EPhone physically connected, you must install
ActiveSync on the desktop PC before you connect.
You can get the latest edition of the Microsoft ActiveSync program in the
Download Center at Microsoft’s Web site (http://www.microsoft.com).
With ActiveSync, you can:
z
Back up and Restore your PC-EPhone PIMS data and files
z
Install and Uninstall programs on your PC-EPhone
z
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your PC-EPhone and desktop PC, and convert
file formats
z
Synchronize data(Outlook 2000) on your desktop PC with PIMS data(PC-EPhone Calendar,
PC-EPhone Contacts, PC-EPhone Tasks) on your PC-EPhone
