Without using the Sony Ericsson PC Suite you
can synchronize your phone over a mobile
network with a remote server (remote
synchronization).
Tip For calendar and task entries there is
another backup possibility — to copy these to
and from the Memory Stick. See
Synchronization and backup on page 39 and
Synchronization and backup on page 58
respectively for more information.
Local synchronization
Local synchronization is between your phone
and a connected computer. Email, contacts,
calendar events, tasks, notes (text only), and
browser bookmarks can be synchronized this
way.
Note: The Sony Ericsson PC Suite must be
installed on the computer and the chosen
connection method must have been set up in
the phone, see Connections on page 77.
To synchronize, connect your phone to the
computer using a USB, Bluetooth or infrared
connection.
Note: If you are using a USB connection,
select the
Phone mode setting.
On the computer, select
Start > Programs >
Sony Ericsson > Sony Ericsson PC Suite for
Smartphones
to open the Sony Ericsson PC
Suite. Select the Sync Manager icon .
Synchronization settings
In the Sync Manager window, select Settings
to define what is to be synchronized and how.
Starting synchronization
In the Sync Manager window, select
Synchronize now to start synchronizing. After
each synchronization, you can view the results
by displaying the summary.
Backing up data
Use the Sony Ericsson PC Suite to make
backups of phone data. Your backups are
stored on the computer and can later be
restored to the phone. Make backups on a
regular basis, and always before having the
phone upgraded since upgrading clears all the
user data.
