Active Sync

ActiveSync synchronizes information on your

device with information on your PC, such

as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also

synchronize over a cellular network with

Microsoft Exchange Server, if your company

or service provider is running Microsoft

Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.

When you synchronize, ActiveSync compares

the information on your device with the

information on your PC and/or Exchange

Server and updates all locations with the

most recent information.

With ActiveSync, you can:

b Synchronize information, such as Outlook

E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks

information on your device with your PC,

as well as pictures, video, and music.

b Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts,

Calendar appointments, and Tasks on your

device directly with Exchange Server so

that you can stay up to date even when

your PC is turned off.

b Exchange ﬁ les between your device and

your PC without synchronizing.

Applications

b Select which types of information are

synchronized and specify how much

information is synchronized. For example,

you can choose how many weeks of past

Calendar appointments to synchronize.

Install ActiveSync on your PC. Once

ActiveSync is installed, you can synchronize

your device with the PC. You can download

ActiveSync from the Microsoft’s website

(http://www.microsoft.com) and install it on

your PC. Once you have installed ActiveSync

and set up a synchronization relationship,

ActiveSync on the PC recognizes your device

when you connect it, and automatically

transfers the synchronization settings you

speciﬁ ed on your device.

You may be able to synchronize your device

with Exchange Server through your company

or wireless service provider. If you plan to do

so, obtain e-mail address, Exchange Server

address, user name, password, and domain

name from your administrator before starting

the Sync Setup Wizard.

Setting up Windows Vista™

Instead of ActiveSync, Windows Vista™ uses

the Microsoft Windows Mobile™ Device

Center.

Note

b Some versions of Windows Vista come

with Windows Mobile Device Center

already installed. If Windows Mobile

Device center is not available on your

Windows Vista, you can download it

from Microsoft’s website (http://www.

microsoft.com) and install it on your

PC.

Set up synchronization in Windows

Mobile Device Center

When you connect your device to your PC

Sychronizing Information

When you connect your device to the PC

using a USB or a Bluetooth connection,

ActiveSync will immediately synchronize.

While the device is connected, ActiveSync

synchronizes every time you make a change

on either the PC or the device.

Synchronizing Outlook information

If you have set up a synchronization

relationship between your device and the PC,

synchronization keeps Outlook information

up-to-date on both computers.

ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount

of information by default to save storage

space on your device. You can change the

amount of information synchronized for a

given information type in Settings for the

information type.

You can 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 the

device with both computers, the result is

as follows:

Applications

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.

Device All Outlook contacts and

calendar appointments

from both PC1 and PC2

are on the device.

To start and stop synchronization

b To synchronize Outlook information

and other local information on the PC,

including media ﬁ les, connect your device

to the PC using Bluetooth or a cable.

b If you are synchronizing directly with the

Exchange Server, you can use the PC

connection to the network that is “Desktop

Pass-through”, or you can synchronize

without connecting to the PC over a

cellular network.

b In ActiveSync, select Sync. To end

synchronization before it completes,

select Stop.

b To change which information is

synchronized

1. In ActiveSync on the device, select

Menu > Options.

you want to synchronize. If you cannot

select a check box, you might have

to clear the check box for the same

information type elsewhere in the list.

b Clear the check box for any items you

want to stop synchronizing.

3. To stop synchronizing with one PC

completely, select the PC and select

Delete.

Note

b Outlook e-mail can be synchronized

with only one computer. To change

available synchronization settings,

select the type of information and

select Settings.

Unsupported features in Excel Mobile

Excel Mobile does not fully support

some features such as formulas and cell

comments. Some data and formatting may

be lost when you save the workbook on

your device. Note the following Excel Mobile

formatting considerations:

b Alignment. Horizontal, vertical, and

wrap-text attributes remain the same, but

vertical text appears horizontal.

b Borders. Appear as a single line.

b Cell patterns. Patterns applied to cells

are removed.

b Fonts and font sizes. Fonts not supported

by your device are mapped to the closest

font available. The original font is listed

on your device. When the workbook is

opened in Excel on your PC again, the

data is displayed in the original font.

b Number formats. Numbers formatted

using the Microsoft Excel 2007 Version

6.1 conditional formatting feature are

displayed in Number format.

Applications

b Formulas and functions. If an Excel ﬁ le

contains a function that is not supported

by Excel Mobile, the function is removed,

and only the returned value of the

function appears. The following formulas

are also converted to values: formulas

entered as an array or containing an array

argument, for example, =SUM({1;2;3;4});

formulas containing external link

references or an intersection range

reference; and formulas containing

references past row 16384 are replaced

with #REF!

b Protection settings. Most worksheet and

workbook protection features are disabled

but not removed. However, support for

password protection has been removed.

Workbooks that are password-protected

or workbooks in which one or more

worksheets are password-protected

cannot be opened. You must remove the

password protection in Excel on the PC

and then synchronise to open the ﬁ le on

the device.

b Zoom settings. Are not retained. Excel

supports a per worksheet zoom setting,

while the Excel Mobile zoom setting is

applied to the entire workbook.

b Worksheet names. Names that reference

worksheets within the same workbook are

displayed accurately, but names that refer

to other workbooks, arrays, for example,

={1;2;3;4}, array formulas, or intersection

ranges are removed from the name list. If

a name is removed from the list, it is left

in formulas and functions, causing those

formulas to be resolved as “#NAME?”. All

hidden names are not hidden.

b AutoFilter settings. Are removed. However,

you can use the AutoFilter command in

Excel Mobile to perform similar functions.

If you have an AutoFilter applied to a

worksheet that causes rows to be hidden,

the rows remain hidden when the ﬁ le is

opened in Excel Mobile. Use the Unhide

command to display the hidden rows.

b Chart formatting. All charts will be

saved the way they are shown in Excel

Mobile. Unsupported chart types are

changed to one of these supported types:

Column, Bar, Line, Pie, Scatter, and

Area. Background colors, gridlines, data

labels, trend lines, shadows, 3D effects,

secondary axes, and logarithmic scales

are turned off.

features are not supported in Excel Mobile

and are removed or modiﬁ ed when a

workbook is opened on the device: hidden

sheets are not hidden; VBA modules,
