Change settings for an information type
The time required for synchronization depends on how much data is to be
transferred. In the ActiveSync application on the PC, you can determine
which out of an item on the device or on the PC should be replaced (i.e.
over-written) in the event of a conict. To change these settings, click Tools
> Options > Settings.
Adjusting how much information is synchronized
If you have set up a synchronization relationship between your mobile device
and PC, synchronization keeps information up-to-date on both computers.
ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount of data by default to save storage
space on your device. You can change the amount of synchronized for a
given information type in Settings for the type.
You can increase or decrease the amount of information that is
synchronized for each type. The default settings are set up to conserve
storage space by limiting the amount of information that is synchronized to
your device.
NOTE: Information stored on a storage card will not be synchronized with your PC.
Managing wireless synchronization costs
How you manage the cost of synchronizing wirelessly from your device
depends on your priorities:
Reduce network connection or data transfer costs:- Increase the time between scheduled •
synchronizations, or synchronize manually. Check the details of your rate plan.
Extend battery life:- Schedule synchronization less frequently or synchronize manually. •
Keep information up-to-date:- During periods of high mail volume, schedule •
synchronization at regular but frequent intervals. During periods of low mail volume,
schedule synchronization as items arrive.
