Setting Up Synchronization in Windows Mobile Device Center

When you connect your device to your PC and start Windows Mobile Device Center for the first time, you are asked to create a Windows Mobile partnership with your device. Follow the steps below to create a partnership.

1.Connect your device to your PC. Windows Mobile Device Center configures itself and then opens.

2.On the license agreement screen, click Accept.

3.On the Windows Mobile Device Center’s Home screen, click Set up your device.
