62 Synchronizing Information with Your Computer

3.1 About Synchronization

You can take information from your computer wherever you go by synchronizing them to your phone. The following types of information can be synchronized:

•Microsoft® Outlook® information, which includes Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks

•Media, such as pictures, music and video

•Favorites, which are the bookmarked links to your favorite Web sites

•Files, such as documents and other files

Note You need to use Windows Media Player to synchronize songs that are DRM- protected.

Before you can synchronize, you need to first install the synchronization software to your computer. For information on installing and using the synchronization software on your computer, see “Setting Up Windows Mobile® Device Center on Windows Vista” and “Setting Up ActiveSync® on Windows XP” in this chapter.

Ways to synchronize

After you have installed the synchronization software to your computer, synchronize your phone with your computer by using one of the following:

•Connect and synchronize using the supplied USB sync cable. Upon connecting the sync cable to your phone and your computer, the synchronization process starts automatically.

•Connect and synchronize using Bluetooth.

You must first set up a Bluetooth partnership between your phone and your computer before you can synchronize information between them using Bluetooth. For more information about setting up a Bluetooth partnership, see Chapter 8. For information about synchronizing through Bluetooth, see “Synchronizing via Bluetooth” later in this chapter.

Note You can also synchronize Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks on your phone with the Exchange Server at your work. For more information about setting up your phone to synchronize with the Exchange Server, see Chapter 7.
