76 Synchronizing Information with Your Computer
Change which information is synchronized
You can add or reduce the types of information to synchronize between your
phone and PC.
1. Before changing synchronization settings on your phone, disconnect your
phone from your PC.
2. On your phone, select
Start > Applications > ActiveSync.
3. Select
Menu > Options.
4. Select or clear the items you want to synchronize or not 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.
5. To customize settings for an item, select that item and select
Settings.
Settings are not available for all items

Notes
• The check boxes of the Favorites, Files, Media, and OneNote items are always grayed
out in ActiveSync Options on your phone. You can only select or clear these items from
Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync on your computer.
• A PC can have sync partnerships with many different Windows Mobile® powered devices,
but a device can have sync partnerships with at most two PCs only. To ensure that your
phone will synchronize properly with both PCs, set up the second PC using the same
synchronization settings you used on the first PC.
• Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
Troubleshoot sync connection problems
When the PC is connected to the Internet or a local network, in some cases, the
PC may disconnect the ActiveSync® connection with your phone in favor of
the Internet or network connection. If this happens, select Start > Settings >
Connections > USB to PC, then clear the Enable advanced network functionality
check box. This makes ActiveSync use a serial USB connection with your phone.
