Microsoft ActiveSync 
Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®,you can synchronize the information on 
your computer with the information on your device. Synchronization 
compares the data on your device with your PC and updates both 
computers with the most recent information. For example: 
■ Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device 
with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC. 
■ Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your 
device and computer.  
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format. 
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of 
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for 
specific information types. 
With ActiveSync, you can also: 
■ Back up and restore your device data. 
■ Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and 
computer. 
■ Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization 
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected 
to your computer 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 PC from the 
Toshiba Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on installing 
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on 
your device. 
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you 
connect your Pocket PC to your PC, set up a partnership so you can 
synchronize information between your Pocket PC and your PC, and 
customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization 
process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.

After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and 
Tasks on your device. You’ll notice that information you’ve stored in 
Microsoft Outlook on your PC has been copied to your device, and you 
didn’t have to type a word. Disconnect your device from your PC and 
you’re ready to go! 
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization 
process, you can initiate synchronization from your device. To switch to 
ActiveSync on your device, tap 
, and then tap ActiveSync. 
For information about using ActiveSync on your PC, start ActiveSync on 
your PC and then see ActiveSync Help. 
For more information about ActiveSync on your device, switch to

example, e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-
mail messages in Inbox. 
Using ActiveSync
® you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook 
or Microsoft Exchange on your computer with your device. You can also 
synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange server. 
Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made 
on your device and computer or server and updates both computers with 
the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, see 
ActiveSync Help on the computer.
