11 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® Office Outlook® information, which include Office Outlook E-
mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes
• Notes, which are created using Microsoft® Office OneNote® 2007
• 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 and set up first the synchronisation
software on your computer. For more information, see "Setting Up Windows Mobile
Device Center on Windows Vista®" and "Setting Up ActiveSync® on Windows® XP" in
this chapter.
Note
ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center only synchronises data on your
computer and device. If you have installed a storage card and you want to back up
files from the storage card, use Windows Explorer on your computer to copy files from
the storage card to your computer.

Ways to synchronise

After you have installed the synchronisation software on your computer, connect
and synchronise your device with your computer by:
•
Using the supplied USB sync cable.
Upon connecting the sync cable to your device and your computer, the
synchronisation process automatically starts.
