have to clear the check box for the same information type elsewhere in the list.

Notes • Some information types such as Favorites, Files and Media cannot be selected in ActiveSync Options on
your phone. You can only select or clear these items from your computer's Windows Mobile Device Center or
ActiveSync.
• A computer can have sync partnerships with many different Windows Mobile powered phone, but a phone can
have sync partnerships with at most two computers. To ensure that your phone will synchronize properly with
both computers, set up the second computer using the same synchronization settings you used on the first
computer.
• Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.

Troubleshooting sync connection problems

In some cases, when the computer connects to the Internet or a local network, it may disconnect the
connection with your phone in favor of the Internet or network connection.
If this happens, click Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC, then clear the Enable faster data
Synchronization check box. This makes your computer utilize a serial USB connection with your phone.
