Getting started
and clear Notes information type. When you select Files, My Documents folder is created on
your PC’s desktop. All .pwi files placed in My Documents folder on your device and all .doc files
placed in \ My Documents folder on your PC will be synchronized. Password-protected files cannot
be synchronized. ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization. For more information on
synchronization or file conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.
Please note: When you delete or change an item on either your PC or device, the item is changed
or deleted in the other location the next time you synchronize. If you synchronize your notes using
file synchronization and then later decide to use notes synchronization, all of your notes will be
synchronized with Outlook on your PC and will no longer be stored in My Documents folder.
5.5 ActiveSync errors
Whenever ActiveSync cannot successfully synchronize your information, it displays an error on your
device and your PC.
Viewing error information
Press Action button when the error text is displayed. ActiveSync will then display more information
about the error that has occurred. Some types of errors can interfere with automatic synchronization.
If you suspect that a scheduled automatic synchronization has not occurred, you should attempt to
manually synchronize your information. Successfully completing manual synchronization will reset
automatic synchronization. For more information, see Synchronizing Information section of
ActiveSync Help on your PC.
Please note: Most firewall applications are intended to block network traffic and secure the PC from
incoming network connections. Since ActiveSync uses TCP ports for data transfer with Devices, to
avoid this potential experience, you will need to manually allow this traffic to be un-blocked by Firewall
applications for the Device using ActiveSync. You will need to add ActiveSync application processes
into Firewall Programs Exception List
