Setting Up Synchronization in Windows Mobile
Device Center
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. Windows Mobile Device
Center configures itself and 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 without synchronizing 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.
