Setting up synchronization
When you connect your device to your PC and start Windows
Mobile Device Center for the first time, you are asked to create a
Windows Mobile partnership with your device. Follow the steps
below to create a partnership.
1. Connect your device to your PC. The Windows Mobile
Device Center will open.
2. On the license agreement screen, click Accept.
3. On the Windows Mobile Device Center’s Home screen,
click Set up your device.
Note:
Choose Connect without setting up your device if you
only want to transfer media files, check for updates, and
explore your device but not sync Outlook information.
4. Select the information types that you want to synchronize
and then click Next.
5. Enter a device name and click Set Up.
When you finish the setup wizard, Windows Mobile Device Center
synchronizes your device automatically. Notice that Outlook email
messages and other information will appear on your device after
synchronization.
