5 Nokia PC Sync
Nokia PC Suite allows you to synchronize the contact and calendar information in your PC's Personal Information Manager (PIM)
software and your Nokia mobile phone. You can use Nokia PC Sync to keep information up-to-date in both locations.
PC Sync supports a variety of PIM applications, including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and Lotus Organizer. PC Sync also
offers a wide variety of synchronization options so that you can personalize the way you want your information managed.
Warning: To avoid any potential loss of data, you should not make or receive calls while synchronizing data between the
phone and your PC. Nokia PC Sync cannot be used while a data call is in progress. Likewise, you cannot initiate a data call
while synchronizing data with PC Sync.
Important: Remember to make backup copies of all important data to protect against possible loss or alteration.
• CONFIGURE PC SYNC
The first time you run Nokia PC Sync, you must configure PC Sync to work with
your PIM application. Once you have customized PC Sync, you can proceed
with synchronizing your PIM data with your phone.
1
Establish an infrared connection between your phone and PC.
2
Launch Nokia PC Sync (click Start, point to Programs, point to Nokia PC
Suite 4, then click Nokia PC Sync).
3
Select your PIM application from the drop-down list, then click OK.
4
Click the More button to view a summary of current/default settings.
Set General synchronization properties
1
Click the General tab, then select the information you want to
synchronize.
2
Click the desired option for automatic synchronization (example: Every
connection).
3
Click the Advanced button to specify additional options, including
resolving synchronization conflicts (see below)
SYNCHRONIZATION CONFLICTS
A synchronization conflict occurs when you change or edit a contact or
reminder in both your phone and PIM between synchronization sessions.
By default, PC Sync resolves the conflict by treating your phone as the
correct information source.
To change conflict resolution properties, click the option associated with
your PIM application.
Set Calendar and Contacts properties
Your PIM application's storage capabilities are much more extensive than
those of your phone. Use the Calendar and Contacts tabs to define the kinds
and amount of information synchronized.
For more information about the capacity of your phone's phone book and
reminder list, please refer to the technical specifications section of your
phone's user guide.
