Operating the Axim 63
Backing Up and Synchronization of Data
Synchronization compares the data on your Axim with the data on your
host computer and updates both with the most recent data. ActiveSync
does not automatically synchronize all types of data. Synchronization only
backs up the data types selected in the Options settings. Options are
selected first when establishing a standard partnership and can be
changed at any time by clicking the Options icon on the Microsoft
ActiveSync window. ActiveSync automatically creates a folder on your
host computer in the My Documents folder called Pocket_PC My
Documents. It also creates a shortcut on the host computer's desktop to
hold the synchronized data.
The two types of synchronization are:
Automatic synchronization — Data is backed up automatically when
ActiveSync is activated by docking and at other set intervals.
Manual synchronization — If the automatic syncing feature is turned off,
you can back up files at any time by using the Sync button to start the
synchronization process.
To start manual synchronization:
1
Connect the Axim to the host computer.
2
From the Microsoft ActiveSync screen on your host computer, click the
Sync
button.
Synchronization begins and the status displays at the bottom part of the
screen.
Manual Back Up By Dragging Files
NOTICE: You must manually back up files that are not selected in the Options
settings. Manually backed up files are dragged to a separate folder on the
desktop of your host computer.
Only data types that have been selected when establishing a partnership,
or by changing the Sync Option selections are backed up (synchronized)
automatically. You can back up other data by manually dragging files to a
separate folder on your host computer.

Tips for getting good recognition:
• Write neatly.
• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross
of the "t" and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not
confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above
the line.
• For better recognition, try changing the zoom level to 300 percent by
tapping
Menu
→
Zoom
.
• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so
that the device can easily determine where words begin and end.
• You cannot convert hyphenated words, foreign words that use special
characters such as accents, and some punctuation.
• You cannot add written text to a word to change it after the word has
been recognized. You must delete the written word and write the
new word.

About the Microsoft® ActiveSync® Program
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1 is the latest synchronization software for the Axim.
ActiveSync transfers files and data between your device and a computer. It
can upload drivers and programs to the device. ActiveSync should be
installed before connecting the device to a computer. You can find the
ActiveSync installation program on the Dell Getting Started CD.
You can synchronize the information on your computer with the
information on your device using ActiveSync. This compares the data on
your device with the data on your computer and updates both with the most
recent information. For example:
• Keep Microsoft Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your
device with Microsoft Outlook data on your computer.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device
and your computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. You can change ActiveSync options to synchronize specific types
of information.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs. For example, you can synchronize
continuously or only when you select the synchronize command.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much
data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of
past appointments you want synchronized.
To synchronize your data, you need both the Microsoft Windows® and
Pocket PC versions of ActiveSync. You must install the Windows version
of ActiveSync on your computer using the Dell™ CD. Getting Started
The Pocket PC version is already installed on your device.
78 Communicating and Scheduling
NOTE: Before connecting your device to a computer for the first time, ensure
that you install ActiveSync on the computer using the Dell™ Getting Started CD.
NOTE: If your Axim fails to synchronize, check your computer security
software to see if you have any firewall running. Firewalls may block the
communication from your computer to your Axim.
Installing and Using ActiveSync
To install ActiveSync:
1
Insert the
Dell Getting Started
CD.
2
Click
Getting Started
to access the main menu.
3
Click
Start Here
.
4
Click
Install ActiveSync
and follow the instructions on the screen.
After the installation is complete, connect your device to your computer.
The ActiveSync Setup Wizard enables you to:
• Set up a partnership so that you can synchronize information between
your device and your computer
• Customize your synchronization settings
Your first synchronization process automatically begins when you
complete the wizard.
NOTE: The device must be powered on for the synchronization process to occur.
During your first synchronization, information that was stored in Outlook
on your computer is copied to Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your
device.
After you set up ActiveSync and complete the first synchronization
process, you can initiate synchronization from your device. To switch to
ActiveSync on your device, tap Start → ActiveSync.
To find information on using ActiveSync on your device, open ActiveSync
on your device and tap Start → Help.
To find information on using ActiveSync on your computer, click
Help → Microsoft ActiveSync Help.

About Microsoft® Pocket Outlook
Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Messaging, and
Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example,
e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail
messages in Messaging.
NOTE: Pocket Outlook is pre-installed on your device. If not already installed,
your Dell Getting Started CD has a copy of the Pocket Outlook installation
program. Ensure that you install Pocket Outlook and not Outlook Express. Note
that you can only install Pocket Outlook once from the program, as it is a
licensed version.
Using Microsoft ActiveSync®, you can synchronize information on your
computer in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange. You can also
synchronize this information directly with an Exchange server. Each time
you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your
device and computer or server and updates both with the latest
information. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help
on your computer.
You can switch to any of the following programs through the Start menu.
NOTE: For detailed information about Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Messaging,
and Notes, among other things, see Help on your device.
Categories
Use categories to group related contacts, tasks, and appointments. For
example, you can assign work-related contacts to the Business category

Messaging
Use Messaging to send and receive e-mail messages:
• Synchronize e-mail messages using Exchange or Outlook on
your computer.
• Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail
server through an ISP or a network.
NOTE: To create an e-mail account for your device, contact your internet
service provider. Dell does not provide this service.
Synchronizing E-Mail Messages
You can synchronize e-mail messages along with the rest of your data if
you enable Messaging synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on
enabling Messaging synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on your
computer.
NOTE: You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your computer from a
remote location. For more information, see "Getting Connected" on page 93.
During synchronization:
• Messages are copied from the e-mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on
your computer to the ActiveSync folder in Messaging on your device.
By default, you receive:
– Messages from the past 3 days
– The first 100 lines of each message
– File attachments of less than 100 KB in size
• E-mail messages in the
Outbox
folder on your device are transferred to
Exchange or Outlook on your computer, and then sent from those programs.
• E-mail messages in subfolders on your computer must be selected in
ActiveSync to be transferred.
Communicating and Scheduling 87
Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your computer, you can
send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a
modem or network card connected to your device. You need to set up a
remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail
server. For more information, see "Getting Connected" on page 93.
When you connect to the e-mail server:
• New messages are downloaded to the device
Inbox
folder.
• Messages in the device
Outbox
folder are sent.
• Messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from
the device
Inbox
folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your
e-mail server rather than to your computer. When you delete a message on
your device, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you
connect, depending on the settings you selected in ActiveSync.
When you are working online, you read and respond to messages while
connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send,
which saves space on your device.
After you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you
can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to
download completely. The next time you connect, Messaging downloads
the messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you
have composed.
Using the Message List
Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the
most recently received messages are displayed first in the list.
When you receive a message, tap to open it. Unread messages are
displayed in bold.
The original messages remain on the e-mail server or your computer. You
can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next
synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap and
hold the message that you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap
Mark for Download. The icons in the Inbox message list indicate message
status.
