58 Section 5: Synchronizing Information With Your Computer
5.1 About Synchronization
You can take information from your computer wherever you go by synchronizing it to your device. The following
types of information can be synchronized between your computer and your device:
Microsoft Outlook® information, which includes Outlook email, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes
Media, such as pictures, music and video
Favorites, which are the bookmarked links to your favorite Web sites
Files, such as documents and other files
Before you can synchronize, you will first need to install and set up the synchronization software on your computer.
For more information, see “Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista®” and “Setting Up
ActiveSync® on Windows XP®.”
Ways to Synchronize
After you have installed the synchronization software to your computer, connect and synchronize your device
with your computer by using one of the following methods:
Connect and synchronize using the supplied USB sync cable. Upon connecting the sync cable to your
device and your computer, the synchronization process starts automatically.
Connect and synchronize using Bluetooth. You must first set up a Bluetooth partnership between your
device and your computer before you can synchronize information between them using Bluetooth.
For more information about setting up a Bluetooth partnership, see Section 10. For information about
synchronizing through Bluetooth, see “Synchronizing via Bluetooth” later in this Section.
Try to synchronize frequently in order to keep information up-to-date in both your device and your computer.
Note:
You can also synchronize Outlook email, contacts, calendar, and tasks on your device with the Exchange
Server at work. For more information about setting up your device to synchronize with your Exchange
Server, see Section 8.
