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).
Tip
For contacts, calendar entries and tasks
there is another backup possibility — to copy
these to and from the Media memory. See the
respective section in this User guide for more
information.
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 set up in
the phone, see Connections on page 79.
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
Normal 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
.
Synchronization settings
In the
Sync Manager
window, select

to define what is to be synchronized and how.
Note:
When synchronizing bookmarks,
bookmarks in the computer are synchronized
with bookmarks in the Unfiled folder in the
phone. If you have created your own bookmark
folders, or subfolders to the Unfiled folder, the
contents of these will not be synchronized.
Starting synchronization
In the
Sync Manager
window, select
Synchronize now
to start synchronizing. After
each synchronization, you can view the results
by displaying the summary.
