54 Synchronizing Information With Your Computer

5.1 About Synchronization

You can take information from your computer wherever you go by synchronizing them to your device. The

following types of information can be synchronized between your computer and your device:

Microsoft® Office Outlook® information, which include Office Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar,

tasks, and notes

Notes, which are created using Microsoft® Office OneNote® 2007

Media, such as pictures, music, and video

Favorites, which are the bookmarked links to your favorite Web sites

Files, such as documents and other files

Before you can synchronize, you need to install and set up first the synchronization software on your

computer. For more information, see “Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista®” and

“Setting Up ActiveSync® on Windows XP®” in this chapter.

Ways to synchronize

After you have installed the synchronization software on your computer, connect and synchronize your

device with your computer by:

Using the supplied USB sync cable.

Upon connecting the sync cable to your device and your computer, the synchronization process

automatically starts.

Using Bluetooth.

You must first set up a Bluetooth partnership between your device and your computer before you

can synchronize information between them using Bluetooth. For more information about setting up

a Bluetooth partnership, see Chapter 9. For information about synchronizing through Bluetooth, see

“Synchronizing via Bluetooth” later in this chapter.

Try to synchronize regularly in order to keep information up-to-date in both your device and your computer.

Note You can also synchronize 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 synchronize with the Exchange Server, see

Chapter 7.

5.2 Setting Up Windows Mobile® Device Center on Windows Vista®

Microsoft Windows Mobile® Device Center is the replacement for Microsoft® ActiveSync® on Windows Vista®.

Note Some versions of Windows Vista® come with Windows Mobile Device Center already installed. If Windows Mobile

Device Center is not available on your Windows Vista®, you can install it from the Getting Started CD that came

with your device.

Set up synchronization in Windows Mobile Device Center

When you connect your device to your computer and start Windows Mobile Device Center for the first time,

you are asked to create a Windows Mobile partnership with your device. To create a partnership:

1. Connect your device to your computer. Windows Mobile

Device Center configures itself, then opens.

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 synchronize

Outlook information.

4. Select the items you want to synchronize, then click Next.

5. Enter a device name, then click

Set Up.

When you finish the setup wizard, Windows Mobile Device Center synchronizes your device automatically.

Notice that Outlook e-mails and other information appear on your device after synchronization.
