Keep Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, or Inbox data up-to-date by synchronizing your

phone with Microsoft® Outlook data on your desktop computer.

•

Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your phone and desktop computer.

•

Control the moment when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization

mode.

•

Select data types to be synchronized and control the amount of synchronized data.

some specific data from the phone after synchronization, and then perform a synchronization
again, the corresponding data on the computer is deleted. Be careful not to lose important data.

®

Before beginning synchronization, you must install Microsoft

on your

desktop computer using the supplied Getting Started CD. You can also download the
latest version of ActiveSync from the Microsoft web site.
