Synchronizing your computer and your device lets you transfer e-mail, contacts, calendar appointments, tasks, Web favorites, and media files from your computer to your device or from your device to your computer. You must install ActiveSync on your computer before you can synchronize your computer and your device.
The ActiveSync setup wizard helps you with these steps the first time that you connect your device to your computer. If you set up an Exchange Server during your device setup, the setup wizard will skip step 3.
Notes
ActiveSync on your device works with ActiveSync on Windows XP, and with Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista.
Step 1
Plug your device into your computer by using a USB cable or cradle.
The Synchronization Setup Wizard appears on your computer.
Step 2
On your computer, click Next.
Step 3
Clear the Synchronize directly with a server check box, and then click Next. (This option will appear only if you use a Microsoft Exchange Server-based Outlook account.)
Step 4
Select the check box next to each information type you want to synchronize, and then click Next.
Depending on the version of ActiveSync, you may be asked whether you want to enable wireless connections. Select or clear the check box and then click Next.
Step 5
Click Finish. ActiveSync synchronizes the selected information types.
Notes
Make sure that either ActiveSync or WMDC is installed and running on your computer. See the user's guide for ActiveSync or WMDC. For more information about ActiveSync or WMDC, use the in-program Help or visit http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile.
