5.5 Synchronizing via Bluetooth
You can connect and synchronize your device with the computer using Bluetooth.
Note To connect and synchronize your device with a computer via Bluetooth, your computer must have a built-in 
Bluetooth or installed with a Bluetooth adapter or dongle.
To synchronize with a computer via Bluetooth
1. Set up Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync on your computer to synchronize through 
Bluetooth. See the program’s Help for instructions.
2. On your device, tap 
Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
3. Make sure that Bluetooth on both your device and the computer are turned on and set to visible mode. 
See “Bluetooth Modes” in Chapter 9 for details.
If this is the first time you have connected to this computer via Bluetooth, you must first complete the 
Bluetooth wizard on your device and set up a Bluetooth partnership between your device and the 
computer. For more information about creating a Bluetooth partnership, see “Bluetooth Partnerships” 
in Chapter 9.
4. Tap 
Menu > Connect via Bluetooth. Make sure the Bluetooth function of both your device and the 
computer are turned on and set to visible mode.
Note To conserve battery power, turn off Bluetooth when not in use.
5.6 Synchronizing Music and Video
If you want to carry your music or other digital media along with you while you travel, set up Windows Media® 
Player on your computer to synchronize music and video with your device.
Other than selecting the 
Media information type to be synchronized, all media synchronization settings must 
be set in Windows Media® Player. Before media can be synchronized, you must do the following:
Install Windows Media® Player Version 11 on your computer. (Windows Media® Player 11 works only in 
Windows XP or later versions).
Connect your device to the computer with a USB cable. If your device is currently connected using 
Bluetooth, you must end that connection before media can be synchronized.
Set up a sync partnership between your device and your computer’s Windows Media® Player.
For more information about using Windows Media® Player Mobile, see Chapter 11.
