Backup VX6 Files using ActiveSync 125
E-EQ-VX6RG-J VX6 Reference Guide
Backup VX6 Files using ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ActiveSync version 3.7 or higher, you can synchronize information on your
desktop computer with the VX6 and vice versa. Synchronization compares the data on your VX6
with your desktop computer and updates both with the most recent data.
For example, you can:
Back up and restore your device data.
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For
example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop
computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.
If the VX6 is connected to a PC by a RS-232 or USB cable, disconnect the cable from the VX6
and reconnect.
Check that the correct connection is selected (Serial or USB “Client”).
Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use
ActiveSync Options to specify the types of information you want to synchronize. The
synchronization process makes the data (in the information types you select) identical on
both your desktop computer and your device.
When installation of ActiveSync is complete on your desktop computer, the ActiveSync Setup
Wizard begins and starts the following processes:
connect your device to your desktop computer,
set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your device and
your desktop computer, and
customize your synchronization settings.
Because ActiveSync is already installed on your device, your first synchronization process begins
automatically when you finish setting up your desktop computer in the ActiveSync wizard.
