Note

Before changing synchronization settings on your phone, disconnect it from your computer.

1.In ActiveSync on your phone, press Menu (right softkey) > Options.

2.Select the check box for any items you want to synchronize. If you cannot select a check box, you might have to clear the check box for the same information type elsewhere in the list.

You can then set the download size limit, specify the time period of information to download, and more.

•Some information types such as Favorites, Files, and Media cannot be selected in ActiveSync Options on your phone. You can select or clear these items only from your computer’s Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync.

•A computer can have sync partnerships with many different Windows Mobile powered devices, but a device can have sync partnerships with at most two computers. To ensure that your phone will synchronize properly with both computers, set up the second computer using the same synchronization settings you used on the first computer.

•Outlook email can be synchronized with only one computer.

Troubleshooting Sync Connection Problems

In some cases, when the computer connects to the Internet or a local network, it may disconnect the connection with your phone in favor of the Internet or network connection.

If this happens, press Start(left softkey) >AllPrograms(left softkey) >Settings>Connections>USBtoPC, and then clear the EnablefasterdataSynchronization check box. This makes your computer use a serial USB connection with your phone.
