30 Synchronizing Information with Your Computer

To synchronize with more than one computer

You can set up your phone to synchronize with more than one PC or with a combination of one or more

PCs and Exchange Server. When synchronizing with multiple computers, the items that you synchronize will

appear on all of the computers with which they are synchronized.
For example, if you have set up synchronization with two PCs (PC1 and PC2), which have different items, and

you synchronize Contacts and Calendar on your phone with both computers, the result is as follows:

Location

New state

PC1

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2 are now also on PC1.

PC2

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1 are now also on PC2.

Phone

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1 and PC2 are on your phone.

Notes • Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
To stop synchronizing with one PC completely, click Menu > Options, click the computer name, then click

Menu > Delete.

To resolve ActiveSync connection problem

When the PC is connected to the Internet or a local network, in some cases, the PC may disconnect the

ActiveSync connection with your phone in favor of the Internet or network connection. If this happens, click

Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC, then clear the Enable advanced network functionality check

box. This makes ActiveSync utilize a serial USB connection with your phone.

3.5 Synchronizing via Infrared

You can connect and synchronize your phone with the PC using infrared.
