50 Synchronising Information with Your Computer
3.1 About Synchronisation
You can take information from your computer wherever you go by
synchronising them to your phone. The following types of information can
be synchronised:
• Microsoft Outlook® information, which include Outlook email,
contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes
• Media, such as pictures, music and video
• Favourites, which are the bookmarked links to your favourite web
sites
• Files, such as documents and other files
Before you can synchronise, you will first need to install and set up the
synchronisation software on your computer. For information about
installing and using the synchronisation software on your computer,
see “Using Windows Mobile Device Center” and “Installing and Using
ActiveSync” in this chapter.
Ways to synchronise
After you have installed the synchronisation software on your computer,
synchronise your phone with your computer using one of the following
methods:
• Connect and synchronise using the supplied USB sync cable.
Upon connecting the sync cable to your phone and your computer,
the synchronisation process starts automatically.
• Connect and synchronise using Bluetooth.
You must first set up a Bluetooth partnership between your phone
and your computer before you can synchronise information
between them using Bluetooth. For more information about setting
up a Bluetooth partnership, see Chapter 8. For information about
synchronising through Bluetooth, see “Synchronising via Bluetooth”
later in this chapter.
Note You can also synchronise Outlook email, contacts, calendar, and tasks on
your phone with the Exchange Server at your work. For more information
about setting up your phone to synchronise with the Exchange Server, see
Chapter 7.
