Synchronizing from Your Desktop Computer
Because ActiveSync is already installed on the Dolphin terminal, your first synchronization process begins automatically when
you finish setting up your desktop computer in the wizard and your terminal is connected to the host PC.
After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on the terminal. Notice that the same information from
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer is now on the terminal. Simply remove the Dolphin from the communication
peripheral and you’re ready to use it.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync Options to specify the types
of information you want to synchronize. The synchronization process makes the data (in the information types you select)
identical on both your desktop computer and your device.
For more information about using ActiveSync on your desktop computer, open ActiveSync, then open ActiveSync Help.
Synchronizing from the Terminal
ActiveSync must be setup on your desktop computer and the first synchronization process completed
before
you initiate
synchronization from the terminal for the first time.
To initiate synchronization the first time, tap Start > ActiveSync. The synchronization process begins.
Note: If you have a wireless LAN card, you can synchronize remotely.
After the first synchronization, when using Dolphin peripherals such as the HomeBase or Mobile Base, synchronization begins
automatically whenever a terminal is properly seated in the terminal well. For more information, see Dolphin HomeBase on page
12-1 or Dolphin Mobile Base on page 13-1.
Exploring Your Terminal from the Desktop Computer
When the terminal and desktop computer are connected, open the main ActiveSync window (on the desktop), and click Explore.
