Section 3: Synchronization

This section describes Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®, you can synchronize data on your desktop computer with the data on your phone. Synchronization compares the data on your phone with your desktop computer and updates both your phone and computer with the latest data.

With ActiveSync, you can:

Keep Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, or Inbox data up-to-date by synchronizing your phone with Microsoft® Outlook data on your desktop computer.

Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your phone and desktop computer.

Control the moment when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode.

Select data types to be synchronized and control the amount of synchronized data.

Warning!: Microsoft® ActiveSync® synchronizes two devices using the latest data.Therefore, if you delete some specific data from the phone after synchronization, and then perform a synchronization again, the corresponding data on the computer is deleted. Be careful not to lose important data.
