You can set a schedule for synchronization to take place ny time info is updated on either your smartphone or the server or at certain intervals (see Setting the synchronization schedule), or allow synchronization to take place only when you initiate it manually (see Initiating a wireless sync manually).

Setting the synchronization schedule

You can set a synchronization schedule in either of the following situations:

• If your Microsoft Exchange Server

2003 is upgraded to Service Pack 2: By default, wireless sync takes place any time info is updated on either your smartphone or the server using Direct Push Technology. To save battery life, however, you can set synchronization to take place at intervals that you specify.

• If your Microsoft Exchange Server

2003 is not upgraded to Service Pack 2: By default, wireless sync does

not take place automatically. Set a

synchronization schedule to have sync take place either any time info is updated on your smartphone or the server, or at certain intervals.

1 Press Start and select Programs. 2 Select ActiveSync . 3 Press Menu (right action key)

and select Schedule.

4 Set any of the following options:

Peak ti mes: Sets the frequency for

high-traffic time periods such as when you are at work or when email volume is high.

Off-peak times: Sets the frequency for low-traffic time periods such as late at night.

5 Press OK .

Initiating a wireless sync manually

If you want to control exactly when a wireless sync takes place, or if it is not OK to store your corporate email password on your smartphone, you can initiate the sync manually.

1 To set up a manual sync, follow the

previous procedure, Setting the synchronization schedule. In the Peak times and Off-peak times lists, select

Manual.

2 To initiate a manual sync, press Start

and select Programs.

3 Select ActiveSync . 4 Press Sync (left action key).

Setting up your computer for synchronization

Even if you are synchronizing email, contacts, calendar events, and tasks directly with Exchange Server 2003, we recommend that you install the ActiveSync desktop software from the Windows Mobile Getting Started Disc so that you can sync your smartphone directly with your computer. Why? Using ActiveSync enables you to synchronize additional info such as pictures, videos, music files, Microsoft Office files, and notes, so you can create and work on files on your smartphone and then sync changes to your computer, where you then have a backed-up and up-to-date copy of important info.

SYNCHRONIZING INFORMATION

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 Treo 750v smartphone.

Before you can synchronize directly with your computer, 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 Windows Mobile Getting Started Disc.

System requirements

Your computer must 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

Installing the desktop synchronization software

BEFORE YOU BEGIN If you are installing

the software on a computer at work, make sure your company allows you to install new software. Contact your company’s IT department for help.

1 Close any applications that are currently

running on your computer, including those running in the background. Your computer needs to have all its resources available to install the software.

2 Insert the Windows Mobile Getting

Started Disc into the CD drive on your

computer.

3 Follow the installation instructions on

your computer. During installation, you connect your

smartphone to your computer and sync for the first time. Be sure to watch what’s happening on both your computer and your smartphone. For more info, see Connecting your smartphone to your computer and Synchronizing information

Many email servers, including servers running Exchange Server, can verify names with an online address book, also called a directory service or a Global Address List. After you create and enable an email account, the Inbox application checks your contacts list and then the directory service to verify names that you enter in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Do the following:

• Ask your system administrator for the

name of the directory service and the server, and whether authentication is required for accessing an online address book.

With your smartphone’s built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can connect to a number of Bluetooth devices such as a headset or hands-free car kit, as well as to other phones, handhelds, or piconets. When you connect to another device, you create a partnership (also referred to by terms such as trusted pair, trusted device, or pairing) with that device. If your computer is enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can also synchronize wirelessly or use your phone as a wireless modem.

You can create a list of Bluetooth devices that you trust to communicate with your smartphone. When communicating with trusted devices, your smartphone skips the discovery process and creates a secure link as long as the device is within range. Bluetooth range is up to 10 meters (30
