Synchronization and backup
The Sony Ericsson PC Suite lets you synchronize your
phone with common computer applications (local
synchronization) and make backups of data.
Without using the Sony Ericsson PC Suite you can
synchronize your phone over a mobile network with a
remote server (remote synchronization).
Local synchronization
Local synchronization is between your phone and a
connected computer. Email, contacts, calendar events,
tasks, notes (text only), and browser bookmarks can be
synchronized this way.
Note: The Sony Ericsson PC Suite must be installed on
the computer and the chosen connection method must
have been configured.
To synchronize, connect your phone to the computer
using a USB, Bluetooth or infrared connection.
Note: If you are using a USB connection, select the
Phone mode setting.
On the computer, select
Start > Programs > Sony
Ericsson > Sony Ericsson PC Suite for Smartphones
to open the Sony Ericsson PC Suite. In the
File menu,
select
Sync Manager.
