Local synchronization
Sony Ericsson P1 is supplied with PC software for local synchronization. It may be installed from the supplied PC Suite CD.
Bluetooth™ wireless technology, infrared or cable
Sony Ericsson P1 always synchronizes using SyncML, regardless of connection type. It connects via Bluetooth™ wireless technology, infrared or cable. The cable is connected directly to the phone or via the desktop charger connector.
Synchronization capacity
Sony Ericsson P1 meets the standard performance requirement to synchronize the following number of items “within a reasonable time”:
Contacts | 2000 |
Calendar items | 1000 |
|
|
Notes | 500 |
|
|
Tasks | 500 |

Automatic synchronisation
Synchronisation can be configured to start automatically, given that a suitable synchronization program is running on the other device:
•When the USB cable is plugged in to Sony Eric- sson P1.
•When Bluetooth wireless technology is acti- vated on both devices and they come into oper- ating range.
•When infrared is activated on both devices and the infrared sensors are aligned.
Intelligent process
A synchronization engine performs the task of synchronizing. For local synchronization, the synchronization engine is an application that runs on the desktop computer. The synchronization engine compares, updates and resolves conflicts to ensure that the information in the phone is the same as that in the computer.

•Microsoft® Outlook® 2000, SP3
•Outlook 2002, SP2
