5.1 About Synchronization

You can take information from your computer wherever you go by
synchronizing them to your device. The following types of information can
be synchronized between your computer and your device:

• Microsoft® Office Outlook® information, which include Office

Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes

• Notes, which are created using Microsoft® Office OneNote® 2007

• Media, such as pictures, music, and video

• Favourites, which are the bookmarked links to your favourite web

sites

• Files, such as documents and other files

Before you can synchronize, you need to install and set up first the
synchronization software on your computer. For more information, see
“Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista®” and “Setting
Up ActiveSync® on Windows XP®” in this chapter.

Note ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center only synchronises data on your

computer and device. To back up files in the internal storage, use Windows
Explorer on your computer to copy files from the internal storage to your
computer.

Ways to synchronize

After you have installed the synchronization software on your computer,
connect and synchronize your device with your computer by:

• Using the supplied USB sync cable.

Upon connecting the sync cable to your device and your computer,
the synchronization process automatically starts.

• Using Bluetooth.

You must first set up a Bluetooth partnership between your device
and your computer before you can synchronize information
between them using Bluetooth. For more information about setting
up a Bluetooth partnership, see Chapter 9. For information about
synchronizing through Bluetooth, see “Synchronizing via Bluetooth”
later in this chapter.

Try to synchronize regularly in order to keep information up-to-date in both
your device and your computer.

7.2 Working With Company E-mails

Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mails and lets
you manage your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail
search, and e-mail flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage
your e-mails.

Note Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version

used in your company. Check with your network administrator for the
availability of these features.

Automatic synchronization through Direct Push

Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new

e-mails on your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange
Server. Items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately
updated onto your device when these items have been changed or new
entries have been added on the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work,
you need to have a Wi-Fi or data connection on your device.

You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the
Exchange Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.

tap the peak times link at the bottom of the screen.

Instant download through Fetch Mail

The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire e-mail immediately without the
need for you to perform a full Send/Receive action. This limits the download
to just the e-mail message that you want and helps save data cost.

• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-

enabled devices, but not vice versa.

• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled

devices can detect your device.

• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor

receive information using Bluetooth.

Notes • By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your

10.2 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS

If you install a GPS software on your device, please follow these guidelines
before and when using your device as a GPS device.

•Do not operate the GPS system while driving. The plotted GPS route

is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with actual driving
behavior.

•When using the device inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount

the device securely in place. Avoid placing the device in the areas
shown in the following diagram:

1 Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.

2 Do not place where air bags could deploy.

3 Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the device

in the holder.

•Please use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any

damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.

• The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects.

Signal reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise
buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days),
etc. If the vehicle’s visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS
signal to pass through.

• Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-

detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in
unstable signal reception.

• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US

Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy
and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department
makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.

• Do not leave your device in a vehicle or expose the device to direct

sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage
to the device or risk to the vehicle.

10.3 Downloading Satellite Data via QuickGPS

Before you start using your device for GPS navigation, open the QuickGPS
program first to download ephemeris data (current satellite position and
timing information) onto your device. This data is needed to determine the
GPS position of your current location.

QuickGPS downloads ephemeris data from a web server, instead of from
the satellites, using the Internet connection on your device, which can be
via Wi-Fi, ActiveSync or GPRS/3G. This significantly speeds up the time for
determining your GPS position.

To open QuickGPS

Tap Start > Programs > QuickGPS.

To download data

Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.

On the screen, initially, you will see the
Valid time of the downloaded data. As
time passes, the remaining days and
hours of validity will be shown.

To speed up GPS positioning, download
the latest ephemeris data when the
validity of the data expires.

Download options

To configure download times, tap Menu > Options and choose from the
available options:

• Remind me when data expires.

Enables your device to display a reminder message when the validity
of the ephemeris data has expired.

When you see the reminder message, tap Menu to dismiss the
reminder or to set the snooze time so that you will be reminded
again. Tap OK to open the QuickGPS program and download the
latest data.

• Autodownload when data expires. Allows ephemeris data to be

automatically updated onto your device when the data has expired.

• Autodownload when connected to PC via ActiveSync.

Allows ephemeris data to be automatically downloaded via
ActiveSync to your device when your device is connected to your
computer. Your computer must be connected to the Internet in order
to download data.

Note The ephemeris data is stored on HTC web servers. QuickGPS is

preconfigured to connect to these servers.
