Using ActiveSync
Using ActiveSync to copy files
You can use ActiveSync to exchange information from your device to your computer and
vice versa. Changes you make to the information on one location do not affect the
information on the other one. If you want to automatically update information on
both your
device and computer, synchronize the information instead.
You can copy two types of information to your device: files and Pocket Access Windows
CE Store information.
The procedure below only applies to copying files. Refer to the ActiveSync Help on your
computer for instructions on how to copy Pocket Access Windows CE Store information.
To copy files:
1 Connect your device to your computer.
2 In ActiveSync on your computer, click Explore.
Windows Explorer opens the Mobile Device window for your device.
3 Locate the file that you want to copy on your device or computer.
4 Perform one of the following:
• To copy the file to your device, right-click the file and click Copy. Place
the cursor in the desired folder for your device, right-click, then click
Paste.
• To copy the file to your computer, right-click the file and click Copy.
Place the cursor in the desired folder for your computer, right-click,
then
click Paste.
Synchronization options
Users have the option to customize both the type and volume of information to be
synchronized, as well the schedule synchronization should occur.
Remote synchronization schedule
You can control when remote synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
schedule.
NOTE: When you are in roaming mode, you can synchronize manually to reduce
roaming charges, or you can use the mobile schedule you’ve set.
NOTE: When your device is connected to your computer via the USB sync cable,
synchronization occurs automatically—changes made on the computer or device is
duplicated immediately.
To set up a wireless synchronization schedule:
1 Tap > Programs > ActiveSync .
2 Tap Menu > Schedule.
3 Perform one or both of the following:
• Under Peak times, select a shorter interval when you are working or
when e-mail volume is high.
• Under Off-peak times, select a longer interval or the “As items
arrive”
opti on.
• Enabling the “Use above settings when roaming” option is more
consumptive in terms of battery power and roaming cost compare to
manual synchronization.
4 Tap ok.
