Connect Your Phone to Your Computer

Before using your phone's mass storage capabilities, you need to prepare your phone's data
services to synchronize with your desktop or laptop computer. Once you have connected the phone
to the computer, you can transfer your data to or from the microSD card.
Connect via USB
1. Use the USB cable that came with your phone to connect the phone to a USB port on your
computer.
2. Open the Notifications Panel and tap the USB icon
3. Select Media sync (MTP) or Camera (PTP) in the dialog box that opens to confirm that you
want to transfer files.
When the phone is connected as Media sync (MTP) or Camera (PTP), you receive a
l
notification on your computer.
You phone's microSD card is mounted as a removable drive on your computer. You can now
l
copy files to and from the microSD card. For more information, see the documentation for
your computer.
During this time, you will not be able to access the microSD card in your phone, so you can't
l
use applications that rely on the microSD card, such as Camera, Gallery, and Music.
Disconnect Your Phone
WARNING: Carefully follow your computer's instructions to unmount, remove, or disconnect any
removable USB phones or disks, to avoid losing information on the microSD card when
disconnecting your phone from your computer.
1. On your computer, complete the process to safely Stop, or Remove, the USB phone (in this
case, the phone). For example, use the Safely Remove Hardware option to Stop the USB Mass
Storage Phone on Windows® XP.
2. Open the Notifications Panel (on your phone) and tap the USB icon
to unmount the microSD card.
Important Connection Information
