synchronizing them to your device. The following types of information can
be synchronized between your computer and your device:

contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes
• Media , such as pictures, music and video
• Favorites
, which are the bookmarked links to your favorite web sites
• Files , such as documents and other files
Before you can synchronize, you need to install first the synchronization
software to your computer. Install
Microsoft Windows Mobile ® Device
Center
from the Getting Started Disc if you have Windows Vista™ on your
computer. If you are using Windows XP®, you need to install Microsoft
ActiveSync ® 4.5 from the Getting Started Disc. For more information on
installing and using these software on your computer, see “Installling and
Using Windows Mobile Device Center” and “Installing and Using ActiveSync”
in this chapter.
Ways to synchronize

connect and synchronize your device with your computer by using one of
the following methods:
• Connect and synchronize using the supplied USB sync cable.

the synchronization process starts automatically.
