Synchronizing your HP iPAQ with your personal computer
Synchronization
Microsoft ActiveSync software, located on the
Getting Started
CD, allows your HP iPAQ and your
personal computer to communicate with each other.
For synchronization to work properly, install Microsoft ActiveSync on your personal computer
before
connecting your HP iPAQ to your computer.
Use Microsoft ActiveSync to:
●
Synchronize information between your HP iPAQ and up to two computers or one server so that
the latest information is in all locations.
●
Change synchronization settings and the synchronization schedule.
●
Copy files between your HP iPAQ and computer.
●
Install applications on your HP iPAQ.
●
Synchronize links.
●
Send and receive e-mail.
●
Request meetings.
Synchronizing your HP iPAQ with a personal computer keeps the same information (such as calendar,
contacts, and e-mails) on both units, making it available when you work on your personal computer or
when you take your HP iPAQ on the go. Synchronize your HP iPAQ with a personal computer using
one of the following methods:
●
Mini-USB synchronization cable
●
Bluetooth
To synchronize your HP iPAQ and a personal computer using the mini-USB synchronization cable:
1.
Be sure ActiveSync 4.1 or later is installed on your personal computer.
2.
Plug the USB end of the synchronization cable into your personal computer.
3.
Connect the mini-USB end on the synchronization cable to the charging/communications port on
your HP iPAQ.
