Transferring data from a palm-size or 
handheld PC  
If you are currently using a Windows-powered palm-size or handheld PC, you 
can transfer data to your HP Jornada Pocket PC. If you have offline folders in 
Inbox on your palm-size or handheld PC that contain e-mail messages you 
want to transfer to your Pocket PC, you will have to follow a separate 
procedure, included below. 
To transfer data from another Windows-powered 
device 
1.  Install Microsoft ActiveSync 3.1 on your desktop PC. For information 
on installing ActiveSync, see the 
Getting Started with Microsoft 
ActiveSync 
booklet.  
2.  Synchronize your device with your desktop PC, so that the 
information on your desktop PC is current. 
3.  If you have files on your device that you want to transfer, such as 
Note Taker notes and recordings, turn file conversion off in 
ActiveSync options so that the files stay in device format, and use 
ActiveSync Explorer to copy the files to your desktop PC. For specific 
instructions, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop PC. 
4.  Synchronize your Pocket PC with your desktop PC. This will update 
your HP Jornada with the current data from your desktop PC. 
5.  Reinstall programs. Check with the program vendors to find out if 
new versions that have been optimized for the Pocket PC are 
available. 
6.  Using ActiveSync Explorer, copy the files you transferred to your 
desktop PC in step 3 to your Pocket PC. 
7.  In ActiveSync, turn file conversion on again.

Migrating data from Palm devices 
Migrating from Palm III and newer products 
Palm V™ and Palm III™ series connected organizers can synchronize data 
with Microsoft Outlook 97/98. From MS Outlook you can synchronize the data 
to your HP Jornada using ActiveSync. Use PocketMirror® from Chapura™  
(included with the Palm™ Desktop organizer software) to synchronize data 
between your Palm Computing handheld and Microsoft Outlook.  
To use Chapura’s PocketMirror conduit, first install the Palm™ desktop 
software that is included with your Palm IIIx™ or Palm V™ organizer. If you 
choose to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, the PocketMirror conduit will be 
installed with the Palm desktop software. For more information, go to the Palm
