1.14 Connecting Your Phone to a Computer
Whenever you connect your phone to the computer with the USB cable, the
Connect to PC screen displays and prompts you to choose the type of USB
connection:
ActiveSync
Select this mode when you need to do the following:
•
Synchronize Outlook email messages, contacts, calendar appointments, files,
and other data between your phone and your computer.
•
Have read and write access to the whole phone.
For more information about using ActiveSync, see Chapter 5.
Disk Drive
This mode is available for selection only when you installed a microSD card on your
phone. Select this mode when you want to use your storage card as a USB thumb
drive, and copy files between your phone's storage card and your computer faster.
When Disk Drive mode is enabled while your phone is connected to the computer:
•
You will not be able to use your phone to access files from the storage card or
run applications that are installed on the storage card.
•
Your computer will only connect to the phone's storage card. When you
access your phone from the computer, you will only see the contents of the
phone's storage card.
