Only items stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in the Favorites folder in Internet Explorer on your desktop computer will be
synchronized with your device. This folder was created automatically when you installed ActiveSync.

Use the Internet Explorer plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites:

1. In Internet Explorer on your desktop computer, click Tools and then Create Mobile Favorite.

2. To change the link name, enter a new name in the Name box.

3. Optionally, in Update, select a desired update schedule.

4. Click OK. Internet Explorer downloads the latest version of the page to your desktop computer.

5. If you want to download the pages that are linked to the mobile favorite you just created, in Internet Explorer on the desktop

computer, right-click the mobile favorite and then click Properties. In the Download tab, specify the number of links deep
you want to download. To conserve device memory, go only one level deep.

6. Synchronize your device and desktop computer. Mobile favorites that are stored in the Mobile Favorites folder in Internet

Explorer are downloaded to your device.

If you did not specify an update schedule in Step 3, you will need to manually download content to keep the information updated
on your desktop computer and device. Before synchronizing with your device, in Internet Explorer on your desktop computer,
click Tools and then Synchronize. You will see the last time content was downloaded to the desktop computer, and you can
manually download content if needed.

You can add a button to the Internet Explorer toolbar for creating mobile favorites. In Internet Explorer on your desktop computer,
click View, Toolbars, and then Customize.

Saving Memory on Your Dolphin Mobile Computer

Mobile favorites take up storage memory on your device. To minimize the amount of memory used:

favorites from being downloaded to the device. For more information, see ActiveSync Help.

Limit the number of downloaded linked pages. In Internet Explorer on the desktop computer, right-click the mobile favorite you
want to change and then Properties. In the Download tab, specify 0 or 1 for the number of linked pages you want to
download.
