1.14 Connecting Your Device to a Computer
Whenever you connect your device to the computer with the USB cable, the Connect to PC screen displays and
prompts you to choose the type of USB connection:
ActiveSync
Select this mode when you need to do the following:
•
Synchronize Outlook e-mail messages, contacts, calendar appointments, files, and other data between
your device and your computer.
•
Have read and write access to the whole device.
For more information about using ActiveSync, see Chapter 5.
Disk Drive
This mode is available for selection only when you installed a microSD card on your device. Select this mode
when you want to use your storage card as a USB thumb drive, and copy files between your device's storage
card and your computer faster.
When Disk Drive mode is enabled while your device is connected to the computer:
•
You will not be able to use your device to access files from the storage card or run applications that are
installed on the storage card.
•
Your computer will only connect to the device's storage card. When you access your device from the
computer, you will only see the contents of the device's storage card.
