When you turn on the handheld, it connects wirelessly with your
corporate network using GoodLink Service over a wireless network.
GoodLink Service continuously synchronizes your handheld with
your email, calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, and folders stored on
your corporate email server, just as Outlook application synchronizes
your desktop computer with your email server. In this way, your
Outlook and handheld folders present the same information.
(Personal folders stored on your PC hard disk are not synchronized.)
Handheld setup instructions in this manual assume your corporation
has GoodLink Server software installed on your network and your
handheld has been added to your GoodLink Server by your email
administrator.
