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

1Using a USB cable, connect your phone to a computer. SD card connected appears in the status bar.

2Computer: Open Microsoft® Windows® Explorer from the desktop and wait until your phone's SD card appears as an external disk in Microsoft® Windows® Explorer.

3Computer: Drag and drop the desired files between your phone and the computer.

Transferring files using Media transfer mode via Wi-Fi®

You can transfer files between your phone and other MTP compatible devices, such

as a computer, using a Wi-Fi®connection. Before connecting, you first need to pair the two devices. If you're transferring music, video, pictures or other media files between your phone and a computer, it's best to use the Media Go™ application on the computer. Media Go™ converts media files so that you can use them on your phone.

In order to use this feature, you need a Wi-Fi®enabled device that supports Media transfer, for example, a computer running Microsoft® Windows Vista® or Windows® 7.

To pair your phone wirelessly with a computer using Media transfer mode

1Make sure Media transfer mode is enabled on your phone. It is normally enabled by default.

2Connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable.

3Computer: Once the phone name appears on the screen, click Network configuration and follow the instructions to pair the computer.

4When you are finished pairing, disconnect the USB cable from both devices.

The above instructions only work if Windows® 7 is installed on your computer and the computer is connected to a Wi-Fi®Access Point via a network cable.
