About ActiveSync

You can synchronize the information on your computer with the 
information on your device with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares 
the data on your device with the data on your computer and updates both 
with the most recent information. For example:

• Keep Microsoft Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing 

your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your computer. 

• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your 

device and your computer. Your files are automatically converted to 

the correct format.

 NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize 

all types of information. You can change ActiveSync options to 
synchronize specific types of information.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Back up and restore your device data. 
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your 

computer. 

• Select a synchronization mode to control when synchronization 

occurs. For example, you can synchronize continuously or only when 

you select 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 computer 
using the Dell™ Companion CD. ActiveSync is already installed on your 
device.

 NOTICE: Ensure that your device is not connected to the computer before 

you install ActiveSync.
