For Internal Use Only | P800 Smartphone |

Automatic synchronization
Synchronisation can be configured to start automatically, given that a suitable synchronization program must be running on the other device:
•When the USB cable is plugged in to the P800.
•When the P800 is placed in to the desk stand, and the desk stand is connected to the other device.
•When Bluetooth is activated on both devices and they come into operating range
•When infrared is activated on both devices and the infrared sensors are aligned.
Intelligent process
A synchronization engine performs the task of synchronizing. For local synchronization, the synchronization engine is an application that runs on the desktop computer. The synchronization engine compares, updates and resolves conflicts to ensure that the information in the phone is the same as that in the computer.
Compatibility
The supplied PC software enables synchronisation with the following applications:
•Lotus® Organizer® 5 & 6
•Lotus® Notes® 4.6, 5.0
•Microsoft® Outlook® 98, 2000, 2002
The PC requirements are as follows:
•Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Me, XP
•Minimum recommended hardware configuration for the version of Windows in use.
•30Mb free space on hard disk
File Transfer Utility
A utility is provided which enables files to be transferred to and from a P800 connected to a PC. Typical uses for this include:
•Archiving pictures taken on the P800 to PC storage
•Moving images to the P800 to use in customisation, MMS messages etc.
•Moving sound clips to the P800 for customisation
•Store work documents (Word, Excel etc) on the P800 to read whilst on the move.
•Moving data to and from third party applications, for example maps.
Backup and Restore
The local synchronisation software includes a backup and restore utility. Backup is initiated from the connected PC. Files in the user data area (which includes loaded third party applications) are backed up to PC storage.
The restore utility takes stored data from the PC and places it back on to the P800.
Language Change Utility
The P800 has a larger, richer MMI compared to an ordinary mobile phone. Applications often have help information also. Consequently, it is impractical to store many languages on the P800 at the same time. To facilitate language change, a PC utility is provided which enables the required language to be loaded on to the P800.
