Synchronization Methods | Sprint Nextel 800w specification

Synchronization Methods

There are a number of ways to make synchronization occur. You can install desktop sync software on your computer to synchronize, or you may be able to synchronize wirelessly with an Exchange server. You can also maximize your sync options and sync with both an Exchange server and desktop sync software.

Synchronizing With Desktop Sync Software

To synchronize the information between your Treo and your computer, the desktop synchronization software must be installed on your computer and you must connect your device to your computer using one of the following methods:

⬤Connect using the USB sync cable: When you connect your device to your computer using the sync cable, synchronization begins automatically. (See “Synchronizing With a USB Connection” on page 50.)

⬤Connect using Bluetooth® wireless technology: You must first set up the Bluetooth connection. (See “Synchronizing Over a Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Connection” on page 312.)

⬤Connect using infrared (IR) technology: You must first set up your computer to receive infrared beams. (See “Synchronizing Over an Infrared Connection” on page 313.)

If you have a Windows® XP computer: The desktop sync software is called ActiveSync® desktop software. You must install this software from the Getting Started CD for Palm Treo 800w smart device that came with your Treo, even if you have already installed a previous version of desktop sync software. (See “Installing ActiveSync® Desktop Software: Windows XP” on page 46.)

If you have a Windows Vista® computer: The desktop sync software is called Windows Mobile Device Center. This software may already be installed on your computer. However, we recommend that you use the Getting Started CD for Palm Treo 800w smart device to ensure that the sync software is properly installed. You can also use the CD to install this User Guide on your computer and bonus software on your Treo.
