Working With Company Email and Meeting Appointments
7.1 Synchronizing with the Exchange Server
To keep up-to-date with your company email messages and meeting schedules while you’re out of the office,
you can connect your phone to the Internet through Wi-Fi or a data connection and sync with your company’s
Exchange Server.
Setting up an Exchange Server connection
Before you can sync or access information on the Exchange Server, you need to set up an Exchange Server
connection on your phone. You need to get the Exchange Server name (must be Outlook Web Access server
name), domain name, user name, and the password that you use at work from your network administrator and
enter them on your phone.
Note You can set up an Outlook email account that syncs with the Exchange Server from the Mail tab using Mail Setup.
See “Mail” in Chapter 3 for details.
If you have not synchronized your phone with your computer, follow these steps to set up an Exchange Server
connection.
Tap Start > E-mail > Setup E-mail.
Enter the E-mail address and Password for the email account and select the Save password option.
Tap Next.
Clear the Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet option and tap Next.
In Your e-mail provider, select Exchange server and tap Next.
Tap Next again.
Select the Attempt to detect Exchange Server Settings automatically option and tap Next.
Enter the Domain name and tap Next.
In Server address, enter the Exchange Server address and tap Next.
Select the items that you want to sync with the Exchange Server.
Tips • To change synchronization settings of an information item, for example, E-mail, select the item, then tap
Settings.
• To change the rules for resolving synchronization conflicts, tap Menu > Advanced.
Tap Finish.
Notes • If you synchronized email messages with your computer before, open ActiveSync on your phone, then tap Menu
> Add Server Source to set up an Exchange Server connection. When prompted to select information types for synchronization, you must first clear the E-mail check box under the Windows PC item before you can select
E-mail under Exchange Server.
• To change Exchange Server settings, open ActiveSync on your phone, and then tap Menu > Configure Server.
Starting synchronization
Before you start synchronizing with the Exchange Server, make sure your phone has been set up with a Wi-Fi or
data connection to the Internet so that you can sync over the air. For more information about connections, see
Chapter 8.
After you finish setting up an Exchange Server connection, your phone automatically starts synchronization.
To manually start synchronization, tap Start > Settings, and then tap Sync Data.
Note If you connect your phone to your office computer via a USB or Bluetooth connection, you can use this connection
to the computer to “pass through” to the network and download Outlook email messages and other information to
your phone.

7.2 Working With Company Email Messages
Your phone gives you instant access to your company email messages and lets you manage your messages
easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote email search, and email flags are just some of the tools you can use to
manage your email messages.
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 email feature) enables you to receive new email messages on your phone 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 phone 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 phone.
Note When Direct Push is off, you need to manually retrieve your email messages.
You need to perform a full synchronization between your phone and the Exchange Server before Direct Push
can be enabled.
Requirement The Direct Push feature works for your phone only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync or later.
To turn on Direct Push in Comm Manager
Tap Start > Settings, and then tap Communications.
On the Comm Manager screen, tap the OFF/ON slider at the right side of the Microsoft Direct Push
item.
To turn on Direct Push in ActiveSync
Tap Start > ActiveSync and then tap Menu > Schedule.
Select As items arrive in the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes.
Scheduled synchronization
If you do not want to use Direct Push, you can set a regular schedule for synchronizing Outlook email and
information.
In ActiveSync on your phone, tap Menu > Schedule.
Select from the available options to set the synchronization schedule.
Tip You can select a shorter interval in the Peak times box and a longer interval in the Off-peak times box, so that
your email messages are synchronized more frequently when you are working. To set the days and hours that
make up your peak and off-peak times, tap the peak times link at the bottom of the screen.
Instant download through Fetch Mail
The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire email immediately without the need for you to perform a full Send/
Receive action. This limits the download to just the email message that you want and helps save data cost.
Requirement Fetch Mail works for your phone only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or later.
Tap Start > E-mail > Outlook E-mail.
Open an email message.
By default, only the first few words of the message are shown. To download the whole email, fingerscroll to the end of the message, then tap Get the rest of this message.
Wait for the remainder of the message body to download.
Notes• For information about changing email sync options such as setting the download size for email, see "Customizing
email settings" in Chapter 6.
• When you receive an email that contains a link to a document such as a PDF or Microsoft Office document located
on SharePoint or an internal file server, you can tap the link to view the document on your phone. You can view
the document only if you have a Microsoft Outlook account that syncs with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or
later. Exchange Server must also be set up to allow access to SharePoint document libraries or internal file servers.

9.1 Bluetooth Modes
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can
exchange information over a distance of about eight meters (26 feet) without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:
On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but not vice versa.
Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can detect your phone.
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth.
Note Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where using a wireless device is
prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.
To turn Bluetooth on and make your phone visible
Tap Start > Settings > Communications and then tap Bluetooth.
Tip You can also tap Start > Settings > All Settings > Bluetooth.
When prompted to turn on Bluetooth, tap Yes.
Tap the Settings tab ( ), and then tap Not Discoverable.
Tap the drop-down menu and then select Always Visible.
Note If you select Visible for 60 seconds, Bluetooth visibility will turn off automatically when the time elapses and
your phone has not yet connected to another Bluetooth device.
Tap Done. The icon then appears in the title bar to indicate that the phone is in visible mode.
TipTo easily switch Bluetooth off or back on, tap Start > Settings > Communications to open the Comm Manager and
then tap Bluetooth’s OFF/ON slider.
Your phone remembers whether visible mode was previously enabled or disabled. If you did not disable visible
mode, switching Bluetooth on in the Comm Manager also puts your phone in visible mode automatically. For more
information about using the Comm Manager, see Chapter 13.

Tap a Bluetooth device to connect with.
Specify a passcode, which can be 1 up to 16 characters, to establish a secure connection, and then tap OK.
Note Your phone uses Bluetooth 2.1 with the Secure Simple Pairing feature. If the other Bluetooth device you are
pairing with also supports the same feature, the passcode will be automatically created and displayed on both
devices. Both you and other party simply need to verify that the passcode is the same and tap Yes to establish
the partnership.
After the receiving party accepts the partnership, the Bluetooth device name is shown on the screen,
including all Bluetooth services that you can use with it. Select the check boxes of the Bluetooth services
you want to use, and then tap Done.
If you selected to use the Bluetooth Serial Port service of the paired device, select a local serial port to
assign for the paired device, and then tap Continue.
