Synchronizing Information With Your Computer  55
Change which information is synchronized
You can change the information types and the amount of information to synchronize for each type either on 
your device or your computer. Follow the steps below to change synchronization settings on your device.
Note Before changing synchronization settings on your device, disconnect it from your computer.
1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > 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 instance, 
E-mail, select it and tap 
Settings.
You can then set the download size limit, specify the time period of information to download, and more.
Notes    Some information types such as Favorites, Files and Media cannot be selected in ActiveSync Options on 
your device. You can only select or clear these items 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 device will synchronize properly 
with both computers, set up the second computer using the same synchronization settings you used on the first 
computer.
   Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
Troubleshoot sync connection problem
In some cases, when the computer connects to the Internet or a local network, it may disconnect the 
connection with your device in favor of the Internet or network connection.
If this happens, tap 
Start > Settings > Connections tab > USB to PC, then clear the Enable advanced
network functionality check box. This makes your computer utilize a serial USB connection with your device.
5.5 Synchronizing via Bluetooth
You can connect and synchronize your device with the computer using Bluetooth.
Note To connect and synchronize your device with a computer via Bluetooth, your computer must have a built-in 
Bluetooth or installed with a Bluetooth adapter or dongle.
To synchronize with a computer via 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 device, tap 
Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
3. Make sure that Bluetooth on both your device and the computer are turned on and set to visible mode. 
See “Bluetooth Modes” in Chapter 9 for details.
If this is the first time you have connected to this computer via Bluetooth, you must first complete the 
Bluetooth wizard on your device and set up a Bluetooth partnership between your device and the 
computer. For more information about creating a Bluetooth partnership, see “Bluetooth Partnerships” 
in Chapter 9.
4. Tap 
Menu > Connect via Bluetooth. Make sure the Bluetooth function of both your device and the 
computer are turned on and set to visible mode.
Note To conserve battery power, turn off Bluetooth when not in use.
