Connectivity
To exchange information between
your phone and another device you
can use, for example, a USB or a
Bluetooth™ connection.
PC Suite
When connecting your phone to a
computer it is for certain tasks a
requirement to have Sony Ericsson PC
Suite installed on your computer.
Install it from the CD delivered with
your phone or go to
www.sonyericsson.com/support for
the latest version.
You can use PC Suite for many things,
including synchronizing phone data
with Microsoft® Outlook® in your
computer or making backups of
phone data. See PC Suite in the Web
guide for more information.
PC Suite requires a USB cable
connection, but for certain
applications you can alternatively use
a Bluetooth connection.
USB connection
With a USB connection you can, for
example, transfer files between your
phone and a computer, synchronize
and make backups of phone data.
When you connect your phone and
computer using the USB cable two
options appear, File transfer mode
and Phone mode.
File transfer mode
In file transfer mode you can transfer
files to and from your computer
substantially faster compared to
phone mode. However, in file transfer
mode only a memory card (if inserted)
is available from Microsoft®
Windows® Explorer.
To use file transfer mode
1 Connect the USB cable to your phone
and computer.
2 Phone: Select File transfer.
3 Computer: Wait until the memory card
appears as an external disk, “PHONE
CARD”, in Windows Explorer.
To transfer files in file transfer mode you
do not need PC Suite installed on your
computer. For phone mode, PC Suite is
a requirement.
Do not remove the USB cable from your
phone or computer during file transfer as
this may cause a loss of data.
