Note
Compared to PC, there is considerably less memory in mobile phones for saving contacts and calendar information. Processing contacts and calender in mobile phone is also different from that in PC. This causes certain limitation to synchronisation. If the number of charac­ters in a record (as "Note") in the PC exceeds the memory limitation of the mobile phone, the record will not be completely saved to the phone.
If any of the options becomes gray, it indicates that the option is not available.
