SYNCHRONISING INFORMATION
Some apps (for example, Gmail) on your Cat S61 provide access to the same information that you can add, view and edit on
your PC. If you add, change or delete information in any of these apps on the PC, the updated information will also appear
on your device.
This is made possible through over-the-air data synchronisation. The process occurs in the background and does not interfere
with your device. When your device is synchronising, a data synchronisation icon will be shown in the notication bar.
MANAGING YOUR ACCOUNTS
You can synchronise contacts, email and other information on your device with multiple Google accounts or other accounts,
depending on the apps you have installed.
For example, adding a personal Google account means your personal email, contacts, and calendar entries are always
available. You can also add a work account, so your work-related emails, contacts and calendar entries are kept separate.
ADDING AN ACCOUNT
1. Tap > Settings .
2. Tap Users & accounts. The screen will show your current synchronisation settings and a list of your current accounts.
NOTE:
• In some cases, account details may need to be obtained from your network administrator support. For example, you may
need to know the account’s domain or server address.
3. Tap Add account.
4. Tap the account type to add.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the required and optional information about your account. Most accounts
require a username and password, but the details depend on the kind of account and the conguration of the service to
which you are connecting to.
6. When you are nished, your account will be added to the list in the Users & accounts settings screen.
REMOVING AN ACCOUNT
An account and all information associated with it can be removed from your device, including email, contacts, settings, and
so on. Some accounts however, cannot be removed, such as the rst account you signed into on your device. If you attempt
to remove certain accounts, be aware that all personal information associated with it will be deleted.
1. On the Users & accounts settings screen, tap the account to delete.
2. Tap REMOVE ACCOUNT, then again when prompted to conrm.
CUSTOMISING YOUR ACCOUNT SYNCHRONISATION
Background data use and synchronisation options can be congured for all the applications on your device. You can also
congure the kind of data synchronised for each account. Some applications, such as Contacts and Gmail, can synchronise
data from multiple applications.
Synchronising is two-directional for some accounts and changes made to the information on your device are made to the
copy of that information on the web. Some accounts support only one-way synchronisation and the information on your
device is read-only.
CHANGING AN ACCOUNT’S SYNCHRONISATION SETTINGS
1. On the Users & accounts settings screen, tap the account.
2. Tap Account sync. The data and synchronisation screen will open, displaying a list of information that the account
can synchronise.
