3.5.4 Synchronization of Contacts, Calendar and To-Do List (PIM)
In everyday life access to an updated Calendar and addresses of friends and business colleagues is
greatly appreciated. The Calendar program on the MC 218 can be synchronized with the
Calendar/Agenda program on the user’s PC. Contacts and the ToDo/task list can also be
synchronized.
Synchronization can be configured to start at regular intervals, at each connection between the PC
and MC 218 or when the user decides.
The growing use of groupware SW such as Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes means that more
and more meetings are booked electronically in daily business life. This encourages users to have
their calendar electronically stored on the server/PC and then to update data to or from their MC
218s.
The MC 218 supports the following groupware by default:
• Lotus Organizer 2.1, 97, 97 GS
• Microsoft Schedule+ 7.5, 7
• Microsoft Outlook 98, 97
From third parties there are plug-ins that support:
• Lotus Notes (Agenda and Contacts) - provided by TIME IS Ltd.
• ACT! (Agenda and Contacts) - provided by Advansys
• Novell groupwise (Agenda and Contacts) - provided by Advansys
More third party programs will be available at Ericsson Mobile Internet:

3.5.5 Backup & Restore
When the worst happens, it is always best to be prepared. Ericsson EPOC Connect includes a very
resourceful backup and restore facility. This can save the user a lot of work if the batteries wear
out or the user deletes information by mistake.
Backup can be done on a regular basis (user-configurable) or at each connection. The backup is
intelligent and only the changes made since last backup will be recorded.
It is possible to restore not only the complete machine but also separate files. The latter feature
can be a very helpful when a user deletes a file by mistake.
