78 2H. Synchronizing With Your Computer
Specifying What Information Is Synchronized
You can change the information types and the amount of information to synchronize for each type on either
your phone or your computer. Follow the steps below to change synchronization settings on your phone.
1. In ActiveSync on your phone, press
Menu (right softkey) > Options.
2. Select the check box for any items you want to synchronize. If you cannot select a check box, you might
have to clear the check box for the same information type elsewhere in the list.
3. To change synchronization settings for an information type (for example,
E-Mail), select it, and press
Settings (right softkey).
You can then set the download size limit, specify the time period of information to download, and more.
Troubleshooting Sync Connection Problems
In some cases, when the computer connects to the Internet or a local network, it may disconnect the
connection with your phone in favor of the Internet or network connection.
If this happens, press
Start (left softkey) > All Programs (left softkey) > Settings > Connections > USB to PC, and then
clear the
Enable faster data Synchronization check box. This makes your computer use a serial USB connection
with your phone.
Synchronizing via Bluetooth
You can connect and synchronize your phone with the computer using Bluetooth.
1. Set up Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync on your computer to synchronize through
Bluetooth. See the program’s Help for instructions.
2. On your phone, press
Start (left softkey) > All Programs (left softkey) > ActiveSync.
3. Make sure that Bluetooth on both your phone and the computer are turned on and set to visible mode.
See “Using Bluetooth” on page 58 for details.
If this is the first time you connected to this computer via Bluetooth, you must first complete the Bluetooth
wizard on your phone and set up a Bluetooth partnership between your phone and the computer. For
more information about creating a Bluetooth partnership, see “Bluetooth Partnerships” on page 59.
4. Press
Menu Press Settings (right softkey) > Connect via Bluetooth. Make sure the Bluetooth function of both
your phone and the computer are turned on and set to visible mode.
Note
Before changing synchronization settings on your phone, disconnect it from your computer.
Notes
• Some information types such as Favorites, Files, and Media cannot be selected in ActiveSync Options on your
phone. You can select or clear these items only from your computer’s Windows Mobile Device Center or
ActiveSync.
• A computer can have sync partnerships with many different Windows Mobile powered devices, but a device
can have sync partnerships with at most two computers. To ensure that your phone will synchronize properly
with both computers, set up the second computer using the same synchronization settings you used on the
first computer.
• Outlook email can be synchronized with only one computer.
Note
To connect and synchronize your phone with a computer via Bluetooth, your computer must have a built-in
Bluetooth or installed with a Bluetooth adapter or dongle.
Note
To conserve battery power, turn off Bluetooth when not in use.
