•You need to have a storage card installed on your device to be able to use your device as a disk drive.

•A storage card is not included with your device.

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 there is a microSD storage card inserted on your device. Select this mode when you want to use your storage card as a USB thumb drive. (This lets you 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 while the device is connected to your computer.

•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.
