Using Microsoft

®

 ActiveSync

®

, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your iQue 

M3. When you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the data on your iQue M3 with your desktop computer and updates both with the 

most recent information. 
Use ActiveSync to manage the information stored on your iQue M3:

•  Select the information types you want to synchronize and control how much data you synchronize.
•  Control when synchronization happens.
•  Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.
•  Add or remove programs.
•  Back up and restore data.
•  Synchronize remotely or with an Exchange server.

You should have already installed ActiveSync on your desktop computer and synchronized for the first time. If you have not done 

this, refer to the Setup Guide included with the Companion DVD-ROM for instructions.

Because your iQue M3 has a limited amount of storage space, we recommend that you limit the amount of information you 

synchronize or store. For example, you can limit the number of Calendar appointments you synchronize between your desktop and 

your iQue M3 to save storage space. You can change these settings on your desktop computer.

1.  Open Microsoft ActiveSync on your desktop computer. Then click 

Options.

2.  Click to check the box next to each type of information you want to share between your desktop computer and your iQue M3.
3.  Click 

OK.

1.  From ActiveSync on your desktop computer, click 

Options. 

2.  Click 

Calendar in the list of programs. Then click Settings. Check options to limit how many appointments you synchronize. When 

finished, click 

OK.

3.  Repeat for each type of information you synchronize.
4.  Click 

OK.

Customize your ActiveSync settings by clicking 

Options.
