Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your 
desktop with the information on your CN30 Computer. Synchronization 
compares the data on your CN30 Computer with your desktop and 
updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:

• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your CN30 

Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.

• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your 

CN30 Computer and desktop. Your files are automatically converted to 
the correct format.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Back up and restore your CN30 Computer data.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your CN30 Computer and 

desktop.

• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization 

mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to 
your desktop or only when you choose the synchronize command.

• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much 

data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of 
past appointments you want synchronized.

Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop from 
the Windows Mobile Companion CD. For more information on installing 
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on 
your CN30 Computer.

After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you con-
nect your CN30 Computer to your desktop, set up a partnership so you 
can synchronize information between your CN30 Computer and your 
desktop, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchroni-
zation process automatically begins when finished using the wizard.

After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on 
your CN30 Computer. Notice that information you have stored in 
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop was copied to your CN30 Computer, 
and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect the CN30 Computer 
from your computer and you are ready to go!

Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types 
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on or off 
for specific information types.
