Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your
desktop with the information on your CK61. Synchronization compares
the data on your CK61 with your desktop and updates both computers
with the most recent information. For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your CK61
with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
CK61 and desktop. Your files are converted to the correct format.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Back up and restore your CK61 data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your CK61 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 CK61.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you
connect your CK61 to your desktop, set up a partnership so you can
synchronize information between your CK61 and your desktop, and
customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process
automatically begins when finished using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, look at Calendar and Contacts on your
CK61. Notice that information you have stored in Microsoft Outlook on
your desktop was copied to your CK61, and you did not have to type a
word. Disconnect the CK61 from your computer and you are ready to go!
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization
process, you can initiate synchronization from your CK61.
To switch to ActiveSync on your CK61
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.
•Tap Start > Programs > the ActiveSync icon. Note that if you have a
wireless LAN card, you can synchronize remotely from your CK61.
