72 Synchronizing Information with Your Computer
5.1 About Synchronization
You can take information from your computer wherever you go by
synchronizing them to your device. The following types of information can
be synchronized 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 favorite web sites
•
Files, such as documents and other files
Before you can synchronize, you need to install first the synchronization
software to your computer. Install Microsoft Windows Mobile® Device
Center from the Getting Started Disc if you have Windows Vista™ on your
computer. If you are using Windows XP®, you need to install Microsoft
ActiveSync® 4.5 from the Getting Started Disc. For more information on
installing and using these software on your computer, see "Installling and
Using Windows Mobile Device Center" and "Installing and Using ActiveSync"
in this chapter.
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 Chapter 6. For information about
synchronizing through Bluetooth, see "Synchronizing via Bluetooth"
later in this chapter.
Try to synchronize frequently in order to keep information up-to-date in
both your device and your computer.
