4.1 Using ActiveSync
With Microsoft ActiveSync on both your PC and your T-Mobile MDA III, you can exchange
information between a PC or server and your T-Mobile MDA III. This process is called "synchro-
nization." To synchronize your T-Mobile MDA III with your PC, you must install ActiveSync on
the PC. Using ActiveSync, you can:
n Synchronize information between your T-Mobile MDA III and PC or server so that you have the latest
information in all locations.
n Change synchronization settings and synchronization schedule.
n Copy les between your T-Mobile MDA III and PC.
n Back up and restore information saved on your T-Mobile MDA III.
n Add and remove programs on your T-Mobile MDA III.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use
ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specic information types.
You can synchronize information between your mobile device and a server if your company is
running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Installing ActiveSync
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your PC from the Companion CD.
ActiveSync is already installed on your T-Mobile MDA III.
Once ActiveSync is installed on your PC, you will be prompted to connect and create a partner-
ship with your T-Mobile MDA III by using a cable, cradle, infrared, or Bluetooth connection.
Connecting to a PC via a cable or cradle
Please see the Quick Start Guide for information about ActiveSync installation.

Connecting to a PC by Infrared

partnership, you must connect using infrared, a cable, or a cradle connection.
