Motorola i930 manual Synchronizing by Using ActiveSync, Accessories, Setting Up a Partnership

16 Getting Started

Synchronizing by Using ActiveSync

You can use Microsoft® ActiveSync® technology to synchronize the information on your Smartphone with information on your desktop computer and optionally, a server running Microsoft® Exchange® Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When you do this, ActiveSync compares the information on the Smartphone with the information on the desktop computer and Exchange Server, and updates all locations, keeping you up to date with the most recent information. You can even synchronize on a customizable schedule, or as items arrive.

Use the i930 Sync Cradle and mini USB cable included with your Smartphone to connect your Smartphone to your desktop computer.

To successfully connect your Smartphone to your desktop computer and synchronize information, you must first install ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

Do not connect your desktop computer and Smartphone with the USB cable until after you have installed ActiveSync.

After synchronizing for the first time, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on the Smartphone. You will notice that your information has been copied to the Smartphone. Disconnect the Smartphone from the desktop computer and you are ready to go!

Tip: Before you copy your Outlook Contacts to your Smartphone Contact list, it is a good idea to clean up your Outlook Contacts list to avoid duplication of Contacts that may already be on your Smartphone, and to assure that your Contacts are alphabetized consistently with the Contacts on your Smartphone. Your Outlook Contacts are combined in the same list as your Smartphone Contacts.

For more information about installing and using ActiveSync, see “ActiveSync” on page 145.
