1.4 Synchronizing with Your Computer

ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) provide an easy way

to synchronize data on a Windows-based computer with your device.

ActiveSync works on computers that have the Windows XP operating systems.

WMDC works only on computers that have Windows Vista or Windows 7.

ActiveSync and WMDC act as gateways between your device and your

computer for transferring Outlook e-mail, appointments, contacts, and tasks, and

media such as pictures, music, and videos. You can also use the Explore feature

in either program to move files or programs from your computer to your device.

Installing ActiveSync or WMDC

If you’re using Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows, download and

install the latest ActiveSync. If you’re using Windows Vista or Windows 7,

download and install the latest Windows Mobile Device Center. (Visit the

Microsoft website to download the program and to obtain operating

instructions.)

NOTE:

 Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your

computer.

 Connect your device to the computer AFTER Windows Mobile Device Center or

ActiveSync is installed.

 ActiveSync connection problems may occur in some specific cases. They are likely

caused by interoperability with desktop firewall applications or applications that manage

network traffic. For troubleshooting information, visit the Microsoft web site.

10

After the software installation, connect your device to your computer with the

USB cable and you are ready to synchronize.

11

1.5 Using an SD/SDHC/MMC Card

Your Pocket PC has a SD/MMC slot where you can insert an optional Secure

Digital or MultiMediaCard storage card. With the removable memory, you can

store or backup your data and exchange data with other devices.

NOTE:

 A storage card is also called a memory card.

 Make sure that no foreign objects enter the slot.

 Keep a SD or MMC card in a well-protected box to avoid dust and humidity when you are

not using it.

To use a card, insert it into the slot, with the

connector pointing to the slot and its label

facing the front of the Pocket PC. Follow the

instructions supplied with the card for more

information.

To remove a card, first make sure that no

application is accessing the card, then

slightly push the top edge of the card to

release it and pull it out of the slot.
