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 PC. Follow the steps below to change synchronization settings on your device.
Note Before changing synchronization settings on your device, disconnect it from your PC.
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 PC’s Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync.
• 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 device 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.
Sync connection problem
The desktop Microsoft ActiveSync 4.0 and later versions utilize a network type of connection with Windows
Mobile powered devices, since this allows faster data transfer than a serial USB connection. When the PC is
connected to the Internet or a local network, in some cases, the PC 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 PC utilize a serial USB connection with your device.
The USB to PC ( ) icon appears on the Today Screen when serial USB connection is used.
