What is
synchronization?
Synchronization enables you to enter or
change information on your smartphone or
in Microsoft Office Outlook
®
. Your info is
then automatically updated in both places;
there’s no need to enter the info twice.
This is true whether you sync wirelessly
with your company’s Exchange Server
using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (see
“Setting up wireless synchronization” on
page 41) or with your computer using
ActiveSync
®
desktop software (see
“Setting up your computer for
synchronization” on page 46).
By default, the info from the Contacts,
Calendar, Email, and Tasks applications is
synchronized for either method of
synchronization. If you set up ActiveSync
synchronization with your computer,
information in the Favorites application is
synchronized by default as well. You can
also use ActiveSync desktop software to
synchronize Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and
PDF files, as well as pictures, music,
videos, and other types of files that are on
your computer (see the User Guide on the
Windows Mobile Getting Started Disc for
information). To sync music and video files,
you also must have Windows Media
®
Player 10 on your computer.
You can set up your smartphone to use any
combination of wireless sync, ActiveSync
synchronization, and Windows Media
Player sync.
DID YOU KNOW
?
When you sync Favorites, it
creates a folder in your computer’s web
browser called Mobile Favorites that backs up
any favorites you create in the browser on
your smartphone. You can add or remove
favorites directly to or from the folder.
TIP
If you don’t already have Windows Media
Player installed on your computer, you can
install it from the Windows Mobile Getting
Started Disc. Insert the CD into your
computer’s CD drive, select
Add Programs ,
and then select Windows Media Player .
