• SYNCHRONIZE CONTACTS AND CALENDAR

Your phone has the ability to synchronize the Contacts and Calendar data with remote devices. Using the synchronization feature (SyncML), data such as names, numbers, and e-mail addresses stored in your contact list, or day notes and reminders from the calendar can be exchanged with other devices through a synchronization service provider. After synchronization, the data in the phone will be the same as the data contained in the host database.

Before you begin

Before you can begin to use SyncML, you must verify your service provider offers this feature. If your service provider does offer SyncML, you must set up an account with a SyncML service provider. For more information about signing up for synchronization services, contact your wireless service provider.

Automatic configuration

Your wireless service provider can automatically configure your phone with the correct synchronization settings by using SMS. This can only take place while your phone is in idle mode. Contact your service provider for more information.

Even though it is highly recommended that your service provider configure the correct synchronization settings for you, it is helpful for you to know the meaning of the settings. To view the synchronization settings, select Menu > Connectivity >

Synchronize > Settings > Active Internet sync. settings or Custom. active Internet sync. and one of the following options:

Start

During the synchronization process, it is not possible to access the database where your data is stored. However, you can cancel the synchronization process by selecting Quit or pressing the End key. It is not possible to place or receive calls, including emergency calls, during synchronization. To place a call, you must cancel the synchronization process.
