Connecting your phone to a computer

Connect your phone to a computer and start transferring pictures, music and other file
types. The easiest ways to connect are using a USB cable or Bluetooth wireless
technology.
When you connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable, you are prompted to
install the PC Companion application on your computer. PC Companion helps you
access additional computer applications to transfer and organise media files, update
your phone, synchronise phone content, and more.
You might not be able to transfer some copyright-protected material between your phone and
computer.

Transferring and handling content using a USB cable

Use a USB cable connection between a computer and your phone for easy transfer and
management of your files. Once the two devices are connected, you can drag and drop
content between them using the computer's file explorer. If you're transferring music,
video, pictures or other media files to your phone, it's best to use the Media Go™
application on your computer. Media Go™ converts media files so that you can use
them on your phone.
To transfer content between a phone and computer using a USB cable

connected appears in the status bar.
2 Computer: Open Microsoft® Windows® Explorer from the desktop and wait until
