Treo 700w - Setting up ActiveSync Workstation
» Setting up your computer
You can enter or change information on your smartphone or in Microsoft Office Outlook on your computer, and then synchronize to
automatically update the info in both places—no need to enter the info
twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your smartphone
and your computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and
backed up) in both locations.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the desktop
synchronization software and connect the sync cable on your computer.
Even if you already installed a previous version of the ActiveSync®
software, you must install the software that came with your
smartphone on the Getting Started CD.
» System requirements
Your computer should meet the following minimum system
requirements:
• Windows 2000 or XP (later versions may also be supported)
• 32MB of available memory (RAM)
• 170MB of free hard disk space
• CD drive
• Available USB port
• USB sync cable (included with your Palm Treo 700w smartphone)
» Installing the desktop synchronization software
| 1. |
Close any applications that are currently running on your computer, including those running in the background. Your computer needs to have all its resources available to install the software. |
| 2. |
Insert the Getting Started CD into the CD drive on your computer. |
| 3. |
Follow the onscreen instructions during the installation. The Install program prompts you to synchronize for the first time. See “Synchronizing contacts and other info” on page 32 for more info on synchronization. |
» Connecting your smartphone to your computer
| 1. |
Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. If necessary, connect an adapter. |
| 2. |
Plug the USB sync cable into an available USB port or into a powered USB hub on your computer. |
| 3. |
With the USB cable on the left, connect the sync cable to the bottom of your smartphone. |
| 4. |
Connect the charger cable to the connector on the sync cable. |
» Synchronizing Contacts and Other Info
Each time you connect your smartphone to your computer, it
automatically synchronizes the items that are set to sync. You can
synchronize using a cable or you can sync wirelessly.
| 1. |
Connect your smartphone to your computer. You should hear the ActiveSync® tone. |
| 2. |
Look for the ActiveSync icon at the top of your smartphone’s screen and the ActiveSync icon in the taskbar on your computer.
• If you don’t see the ActiveSync
icon, make sure the desktop
synchronization software that
came with your smartphone is
running on your computer. |
Selecting which info to sync
| 1. |
Press Start
and select Programs. |
 |
| 2. |
Select ActiveSync |
 |
| 3. |
Press Menu (right action key) and select Options. |
| 4. |
Do any of the following: |
• Check the box next to any items you
want to synchronize. If you cannot
check a box, you might have to
uncheck a box for the same
information type elsewhere in the list.
• Uncheck the box next to any items you want to stop
synchronizing.
• Select an item and then select Settings to customize the
settings for that item. Settings are not available for all items.
