synchronising them to your device. The following types of information can
be synchronised between your computer and your device:
• Microsoft Outlook
contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes
• Media, such as pictures, music and video
• Favourites, 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 first the synchronisation
software to your computer. For more information, see "Using Microsoft
Windows Mobile Device Centre" if you are using Windows Vista™, or see
"Installing and Using ActiveSync" if you are using Windows XP
Ways to synchronise
After you have installed the synchronisation software to your computer,
connect and synchronise your device with your computer by using one of
the following methods:
•
Connect and synchronise using the supplied USB sync cable.
Upon connecting the sync cable to your device and your computer,
the synchronisation process starts automatically.

Connect and synchronise using Bluetooth.
You must first set up a Bluetooth partnership between your device
and your computer before you can synchronise information through
Bluetooth. For more information about setting up a Bluetooth
partnership, see Chapter 6. For information about synchronising
