Specifying What Information Is Synchronized
You can change the information types and the amount of information to synchronize for each type on either
your device or your computer. Follow the steps below to change synchronization settings on your device.
Note
Before changing synchronization settings on your device, disconnect it from your computer.
1.
In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Options .
2.
Select the check box for any items you want to synchronize. If you cannot select a check box, you might
have to clear the check box for the same information type elsewhere in the list.

To change synchronization settings for an information type (for example, E-Mail ), select it, and tap Settings .
You can then set the download size limit, specify the time period of information to download, and more.
Notes
• Some information types such as Favorites, Files, and Media cannot be selected in ActiveSync Options on your
device. You can select or clear these items only from your computer's Windows Mobile Device Center or
ActiveSync.
• A computer can have sync partnerships with many different Windows Mobile powered devices, but a device
can have sync partnerships with at most two computers. To ensure that your device will synchronize properly
with both computers, set up the second computer using the same synchronization settings you used on the
first computer.
• Outlook email can be synchronized with only one computer.
Troubleshooting Sync Connection Problems
In some cases, when the computer connects to the Internet or a local network, it may disconnect the
connection with your device in favor of the Internet or network connection.
If this happens, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > USB to PC , and then clear the Enable advanced network
check box. This makes your computer use a serial USB connection with your device.
