Bluetooth™ wireless technology, infrared or cable
M600 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.
Automatic synchronisation
Synchronisation can be configured to start automatically, given that a suitable synchronisation program must be running on the other device:
•When the USB cable is plugged in to M600.
•When Bluetooth is activated on both devices and they come into operating 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.
Compatibility
The PC software, supplied with the phone, enables synchronization with the following applications:
•Microsoft® Outlook® Express 4.0, 5.x.
•Microsoft® Exchange.
•Microsoft® Outlook® 2000, 2002, 2003.
•Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 and 6.0 (for Bookmark synchronization).
•Lotus Notes® 5.0, 6.0, 6.5.
The PC requirements are as follows:
•120Mb free space on hard disk.
•Microsoft® Windows® 2000 (SP4) or XP Profes- sional or Home (SP2).
•Minimum recommended hardware configuration for the version of Windows in use.
File transfer utility
A utility is provided which enables files to be transferred to and from M600 connected to a PC. Typical uses for this include:
White Paper M600
•Archiving pictures taken on M600 to PC stor- age.
•Moving images to M600 to use in personaliza- tion, MMS messages etc.
•Storing MP3 files on M600 or the Memory stick™.
•Moving sound clips to/from M600 for personal- ization.
•Store work documents (Word, Excel) on M600 to read on the move.
Backup and restore
Backup is initiated from the connected PC. Note that the USB cable must be used for backup. Infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology cannot be used for this purpose. Files in the user data area (which includes loaded third party applications) are backed up to PC storage.
The restore utility takes stored data from the PC and places it back on to M600.
Language change utility
M600 has a larger, richer UI compared to an ordinary mobile phone. Applications often have help information. Consequently, it is impractical to store languages on the phone. To facilitate a language change, a PC utility is provided which enables the required language to be loaded on M600. The Language Change Utility is not available for Chinese models.
Software installation utility
This utility enables M600 applications to be installed from the PC.
Internet wizard
This utility assists the user to create 3G, GPRS, HSCSD and CSD connection definitions for Internet and email use. All the necessary information can be entered in a logical way. Set infrared status to Modem in the Control Panel to use this facility over infrared.
Object exchange - 'send as'
M600 makes it easy to transfer objects over Bluetooth, infrared and Messages. This is presented to the user via 'Send as' commands in applications. Simply select an item such as a contact, select 'Send as' and select the method to
