Synchronising Information With Your Computer
5.1 About Synchronisation
You can take information from your computer wherever you go by
synchronising them to your device. The following types of information can
be synchronised between your computer and your device:
• Microsoft Outlook® information, which include Outlook e-mail,
contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes.
• Media, such as pictures, music and video.
• Favorites, which are the bookmarked links to your favourite web
sites.
• Files, such as documents and other files.
Before you can synchronise, you need to install first the synchronisation
software to your computer. For more information, see “Installing and Using
Windows Mobile Device Center” if you are using Windows Vista™, or see
“Installing and Using ActiveSync” if you are using Windows XP®.
Ways to synchronise
After you have installed the synchronisation software to your computer,
connect and synchronise your device with your computer by using one of
the following methods:
• Connect and synchronise using the supplied USB sync cable. Upon
connecting the sync cable to your device and your computer, the
synchronisation process starts automatically.
• Connect and synchronise using Bluetooth or Infrared.
You must first set up a Bluetooth partnership or Infrared connection
between your device and your computer before you can synchronise
information through Bluetooth or Infrared. For more information
about setting up a Bluetooth partnership and Infrared connection,
see Chapter 8. For information about synchronising through
Bluetooth, see “Synchronising via Bluetooth” later in this chapter. For
information about synchronising through Infrared, see “Synchronising
via Infrared” later in this chapter
Try to synchronise frequently in order to keep information up-to-date in
both your device and your computer.
