4.2 Synchronizing Information
When you connect your device to the PC using a USB cable,
an infrared connection, or a Bluetooth connection, ActiveSync
will immediately synchronize. While your device is connected,
ActiveSync synchronizes every time you make a change on
either the PC or your device.
To manually start and stop synchronization
1. Connect your device to the PC:
• To synchronize Outlook information and other
local information on the PC, including media files,
connect your device to the PC using Bluetooth,
infrared (IR) or a USB cable.
• If you are synchronizing directly with Exchange
Server, you can use this connection to the PC
to "pass through" to the network, or you can
synchronize without connecting to the PC over a
cellular network.
2. In ActiveSync, tap Sync. To end synchronization before
it completes, tap Stop.
Note ActiveSync 4.x utilizes a network type of connection with
Windows Mobile powered devices, since this allows faster
data transfer than a serial USB connection. When the PC is
connected to the Internet or a local network, in some cases,
the PC may disconnect the ActiveSync connection with your
device in favor of the Internet or network connection. If this
happens, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > USB to
PC, then clear the Enable advanced network functionality
check box. This makes ActiveSync utilize a serial USB
connection with your device.
The USB to PC ( ) icon appears on the Today Screen when
your device is connected to your computer and you enable a
serial USB connection between them.
Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security 63
Synchronize Outlook information with the
computer
If you have set up a synchronization relationship between
your device and the PC, synchronization keeps Outlook
information up-to-date on both your device and PC.
You can also 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 your device with both computers,
the result is as follows:
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.
Pocket PC
Phone
All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments
from both PC1 and PC2 are on your device.
Note Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
To change which information is synchronized
ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount of information by
default to save storage space on your device. You can change
the amount of information that is synchronized by performing
the following steps.
Note Before changing synchronization settings on your device,
disconnect it from your PC.
1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Options.
2. Do one or both of the following:

To receive e-mails and synchronize other information
instantly
Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to
receive new e-mails on your device as soon as they arrive in
your Inbox on the Exchange Server. With this feature, items
such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately
updated onto your device when these items have been
changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange
Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a data
connection on your device.
The Direct Push feature works for your device only if it is
connected to a private network (corporate network) that
is using Microsoft Exchange Server Service Pack 2 (SP2)
with Exchange ActiveSync. You need to perform a full
synchronization between your device and the Exchange
Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.

(S/MIME), which allows you to digitally sign your messages as
well as encrypt them.
Using authorization keys and certificates, S/MIME allows you
to digitally sign your e-mail messages to prove your identity
to the recipients. Authorization keys are also used when
encrypting messages to improve privacy and prevent undue
tampering or hacking of your messages. You can encrypt a
message with or without a certificate. However, to read an
encrypted message, you need a valid certificate to decrypt it.
70 Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security

5.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A soft (or
normal) reset of your device clears all active program memory
and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when
your device is running slower than normal, or a program is
not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after
the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed
when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.
To perform a soft reset
• Use the stylus to press the RESET button found at the
bottom center part of your device. Your device restarts
and displays the Today screen.

88 Managing Your Pocket PC Phone
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset).
A hard reset should be performed only if a soft reset does
not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is
restored to its default settings — the way it was when you first
purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed,
data you entered, and settings you customized on your device
will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-
installed programs will remain.
To perform a hard reset
1. Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and the Right SOFT
KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the

6.4 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications
technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can
exchange information within a distance of about 10 meters
without requiring a physical connection. You can even beam
information to a device in a different room, as long as it is
within the Bluetooth signal coverage range.
Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:
• Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks,
and contact cards, between devices that have Bluetooth
capabilities.
• Synchronize information between your device and
computer via Bluetooth.
• Use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-
enabled hands-free device such as a car kit) with your
device for hands-free phone conversations.
• Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another
device or computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and
use any of the services available on that device.
Getting Connected 97
• Create a connection between your device and another
Bluetooth-enabled phone to use that phone as a
modem.
Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if
your Pocket PC device has no integrated phone capability.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other
Bluetooth-enabled devices, but not vice versa.
• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can
neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth.
You might want to turn Bluetooth off at times in order
to conserve battery power, or in situations where using
a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an
aircraft and in hospitals.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-
enabled devices can detect your device.
Note By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn
off your device, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on
your device again, Bluetooth automatically turns on.
To turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab
> Bluetooth.
2. Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device
visible to other devices check boxes.
3. Tap OK.
