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®.

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.
