Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security 63

Synchronize Outlook information with the

computer

If you have set up a synchronization relationship between

your device and the PC, synchronization keeps Outlook

information up-to-date on both your device and PC.

You can also set up your device to synchronize with more

than one PC or with a combination of one or more PCs

and Exchange Server. When synchronizing with multiple

computers, the items that you synchronize will appear on

all of the computers with which they are synchronized. For

example, if you have set up synchronization with two PCs (PC1

and PC2), which have different items, and you synchronize

Contacts and Calendar on your device with both computers,

the result is as follows:

Location New state

PC1 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments

that were on PC2 are now also on PC1.

PC2 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments

that were on PC1 are now also on PC2.

Pocket PC

Phone

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments

from both PC1 and PC2 are on your device.

Note Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.

To change which information is synchronized

ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount of information by

default to save storage space on your device. You can change

the amount of information that is synchronized by performing

the following steps.

Note Before changing synchronization settings on your device,

disconnect it from your PC.

1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Options.

To receive e-mails and synchronize other information

instantly

Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to

receive new e-mails on your device as soon as they arrive in

your Inbox on the Exchange Server. With this feature, items

such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately

updated onto your device when these items have been

changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange

Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a data

connection on your device.

The Direct Push feature works for your device only if it is

connected to a private network (corporate network) that

is using Microsoft Exchange Server Service Pack 2 (SP2)

with Exchange ActiveSync. You need to perform a full

synchronization between your device and the Exchange

Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.

Using Comm Manager to enable Direct Push

normal) reset of your device clears all active program memory

and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when

your device is running slower than normal, or a program is

not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after

the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed

when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.

To perform a soft reset

• Use the stylus to press the RESET button found at the

bottom center part of your device. Your device restarts

and displays the Today screen.
