Synchronization and backup
With
Sony Ericsson PC Suite
installed in your PC, your P910i can
synchronize with the following PC applications, also called
Personal Information Managers (PIMs):
•
Lotus® Organizer® 5 & 6, 6.5
•
Lotus Notes® 5.0, 6
•
Microsoft Outlook 98, 2000, 2002, 2003
•
Microsoft Windows Address Book
Synchronization is divided into local and remote. Local
synchronization is performed directly to a connected PC while
remote synchronization is done over the air with a remote server
in, for example, a corporate network.
The manual describes the easiest way to perform the tasks but
you can also carry out most of them by selecting
Start > Programs
> Sony Ericsson > P910i
in the PC and then select the desired
command.
Refer to the online help find in
Help
in the menu bar in the PC
software to get more information about synchronization and
backup.
Note
If you have imported SIM phone book entries into
Contacts
in your P910i, these entries will not be synchronized with the
corresponding entries in your PC when synchronizing your
P910i and PC. You will instead get duplicates in your P910i.
Local synchronization
Local synchronization is done with either cable, infrared or
Bluetooth wireless technology. The functionality is the same.
Email, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Jotter notes (only text)
can be synchronized locally.
Local synchronization settings
Local synchronization is initiated from the PC and all settings
are made in the P910i PC software (included on the
Sony
Ericsson PC Suite
CD).
The easiest way to synchronize is to set the Synchronization to
automatically make a synchronization every time your P910i is
connected.
