5.1 About Synchronization
You can take information from your computer wherever you go by 
synchronizing them to your device. The following types of information can 
be synchronized between your computer and your device:
• 
Microsoft® Office Outlook® information, which include Outlook 
e-mail, 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 and set up first the 
synchronization software on your computer. For more information, see 
“Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista®” if you are 
using Windows Vista®, or see “Setting Up ActiveSync on Windows XP” if you 
are using Windows XP®.
Ways to synchronize
After you have installed the synchronization software to your computer, 
connect and synchronize your device with your computer by using one of 
the following methods:
• 
Connect and synchronize using the supplied USB sync cable.  
Upon connecting the sync cable to your device and your computer, 
the synchronization process starts automatically.
• 
Connect and synchronize using Bluetooth.  
You must first set up a Bluetooth partnership between your device 
and your computer before you can synchronize information between 
them using Bluetooth. For more information about setting up 
a Bluetooth partnership, see Chapter 10. For information about 
synchronizing through Bluetooth, see “Synchronizing via Bluetooth” 
later in this chapter.
