Setting up your
computer for
synchronization
Why set up a connection between your
smartphone and your computer? So you
can synchronize them. Why synchronize?
Here are two good reasons:
Once you enter info on your computer,
you don’t need to enter it again on your
smartphone. Whether you enter or
change information on your computer
using Microsoft Office Outlook or on
your smartphone, when you
synchronize, you automatically update
the info in both places.
You have a backup copy of all your info.
Should anything happen to your
smartphone, your info still exists on
your computer.
We strongly recommend that you
synchronize your smartphone with your
computer frequently to keep your
information up-to-date (and backed up) in
both locations.
Before you can synchronize, you need to
install the desktop synchronization
software and connect the sync cable to
your computer. Even if you have already
installed a previous version of ActiveSync
desktop software, you must install the
software that came with your smartphone
on the Getting Started CD.
System requirements
Your computer should meet the following
minimum system requirements:
Windows 2000 or XP (later versions
may also be supported)
32MB of available memory (RAM)
170MB of free hard disk space
CD drive
Available USB port
USB sync cable (included with your
smartphone)
TIP
If you want to synchronize with a personal
information manager (PIM) other than
Microsoft Office Outlook, you must install a
third-party solution. Contact the PIM’s vendor
to learn if software is available for your
smartphone.
