82 Synchronising Information With Your Computer
5.1 About Synchronisation
You can take information from your computer wherever you go by
synchronising them to your device. The following types of information can
be synchronised between your computer and your device:
• Microsoft® Office Outlook® information, which include Outlook
E-mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes
• Media, such as pictures, music and video
• Favorites, which are the bookmarked links to your favourite Web sites
• Files, such as documents and other files
Before you can synchronise, you need to install and set up first the
synchronisation software on your computer. For more information, see
“Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista®” if you are
using Windows Vista®, or see “Setting Up ActiveSync on Windows XP” if you
are using Windows XP®.
Ways to synchronise
After you have installed the synchronisation software to your computer,
connect and synchronise your device with your computer by using one of
the following methods:
• Connect and synchronise using the supplied USB sync cable.
Upon connecting the sync cable to your device and your computer,
the synchronisation process starts automatically.
• Connect and synchronise using Bluetooth.
You must first set up a Bluetooth partnership between your device
and your computer before you can synchronise information between
them using Bluetooth. For more information about setting up
a Bluetooth partnership, see Chapter 10. For information about
synchronising through Bluetooth, see “Synchronising via Bluetooth”
later in this chapter.
Try to synchronise frequently in order to keep information up-to-date in
both your device and your computer.
Note You can also synchronise Outlook E-mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks on
your device with the Exchange Server at your work. For more information
about setting up your device to synchronise with the Exchange Server, see
Chapter 8.
