5.2  Before Synchronizing With Your Computer

Before you can sync with your computer, you need to install and set up first the synchronization software on your computer. For more information, see “Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista” and “Setting Up ActiveSync on Windows XP” in this chapter.

After installing the synchronization software on your computer, connect the phone to your computer using the USB sync cable. When the Connect to PC screen appears on your phone, tap ActiveSync, and then tap Done.

You can also sync information with your computer using Bluetooth. See “Synchronizing via Bluetooth” later in this chapter.

Notes • ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center only syncs data on your computer and phone. If you have installed a storage card and you want to back up files from the storage card, use Windows Explorer on your computer to copy files from the storage card to your computer.

•If you are sending your phone for repair or performing a hard reset, data from your phone will be lost. It is recommended that you sync your phone to your computer to back up your files. To back up files from the storage card to your computer, use Windows Explorer to copy files from the storage card to the computer.
