You can take information from your computer wherever you go by synchronizing them to your device. This section
explains how to connect your device to the computer and synchronize your data.
About Synchronization
The following types of information can be synchronized between your computer and your device:
ⅷ Microsoft® Office Outlook® information, which includes Office Outlook email messages, contacts, calendar,
tasks, and notes
ⅷ Notes, which are created using Microsoft® Office OneNote® 2007
ⅷ Media, such as pictures, music, and video
ⅷ Favorites, which are the bookmarked links to your favorite websites
ⅷ Files, such as documents and other files
Before you can synchronize, you first need to install and set up the synchronization software on your
computer. For more information, see “Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows 7 and
Windows Vista” and “Setting Up ActiveSync on Windows XP” in this section.
Ways to Synchronize
After you have installed the synchronization software on your computer, connect and synchronize your
device with your computer by:
ⅷ Using the supplied USB sync cable.
Upon connecting the sync cable to your device and your computer, the synchronization process
automatically starts.
ⅷ 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 “Bluetooth Partnerships” on page 101. For information about synchronizing
through Bluetooth, see “Synchronizing via Bluetooth.”
ⅷ Using Microsoft My Phone
If you have a Microsoft My Phone account, you can sync and restore the contacts, calendar
appointments, photos, and other information that you stored on your account to your current Windows
phone. See Synchronizing with Microsoft My Phone (page 80) in this chapter for details.
