Synchronizing Your Device
4.1 Using ActiveSync
4.2 Synchronizing Information
4.3 Synchronizing via Infrared and Bluetooth
4.4 Synchronizing Music, Video, and Pictures
4.1 Using ActiveSync
ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with information on your PC,
such as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular
network with Microsoft Exchange Server, if your company or service provider is
running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When you
synchronize, ActiveSync compares the information on your device with the
information on your PC and/or Exchange Server and updates all locations with the
most recent information.
With ActiveSync, you can:
. • Synchronize information, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks
information on your device with your PC, as well as pictures, video, and music.
. • Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments, and Tasks on
your device directly with Exchange Server so that you can stay up to date even when
your PC is turned off.
. • Exchange files between your device and your PC without synchronizing.
. • Select which types of information are synchronized and specify how much
information is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past
Calendar appointments to synchronize.
Before you can synchronize information with a PC, you must first install ActiveSync
on your PC and create a synchronization relationship between your device and the
PC. You can install ActiveSync from the Getting Started disc that comes with your
device. ActiveSync is already installed on your device.
Once you have installed ActiveSync and set up a synchronization relationship,
ActiveSync on the PC recognizes your device when you connect it, and
automatically transfers the synchronization settings you specified on your device.
You may be able to synchronize your device with Exchange Server through your
company or wireless service provider. If you plan to do so, obtain the name of the
Exchange Server, your user name, password, and domain name from your
administrator before starting the Sync Setup Wizard.
To install and set up ActiveSync
1. Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described on the Getting Started disc. After Setup
completes, the Sync Setup Wizard automatically starts when you connect your device to
the PC.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the wizard. In the Sync Setup
Wizard, do one or both of the following:
. • Create a synchronization relationship between your PC and the device.
. • Configure an Exchange Server connection to synchronize directly with
Exchange Server.
3. Choose information types to synchronize.
Note When you finish the wizard, ActiveSync synchronizes your device automatically.
Once synchronization completes, you can disconnect your device from your PC.
4.2 Synchronizing Information
When you connect your device to the PC using a USB or serial cable, an infrared
connection, or a Bluetooth connection, ActiveSync will immediately synchronize.
While the device is connected, ActiveSync synchronizes every time you make a
change on either the PC or the device.
Synchronizing Outlook information
If you have set up a synchronization relationship between your device and the PC,
synchronization keeps Outlook information up-to-date on both computers.
ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount of information by default to save storage
space on your device. You can change the amount of information synchronized for a
given information type in Settings for the information type.
You can set up your device to synchronize with more than one PC or with a
combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When synchronizing with
multiple computers, the items that you synchronize will appear on all of the
computers with which they are synchronized. For example, if you have set up
synchronization with two PCs (PC1 and PC2), which have different items, and you
synchronize Contacts and Calendar on the device with both computers, the result is
as follows:
Location New state
PC1
PC2
Device
All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2 are now also
on PC1.
All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1 are now also
on PC2.

. • Set up a sync partnership between the storage card and Windows Media
Player.
Change Media synchronization settings
Once you select the Media information type in ActiveSync to be synchronized, any of
your favorite music, video, and picture files in Windows Media Player playlists can
be synchronized. All you have to do is set up synchronization in Windows Media
Player for those media files.
To set up a sync relationship with a storage card

6.3 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with
Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about 10 metres
without requiring a physical connection. You can even beam information to a device
in a different room, as long as it is within the Bluetooth signal coverage range.
The software included with your device allows you to use Bluetooth in the following
ways:
. • Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards,
between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
. • Create a dial-up modem connection between your device and a
Bluetooth-enabled phone, then transfer data using the Bluetooth phone as a modem.
To turn on or off Bluetooth on your device
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.
2. Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device discoverable to other devices
check boxes.

Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
. • On. Bluetooth is turned on and you can use Bluetooth features.
. • Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive
information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn the radio off at times in order to
conserve battery power, or in situations where radio use is prohibited, such as onboard
an aircraft and in hospitals.
. • Discoverable. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices
within a range of 10 metres can detect your device.
Note By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your device,
Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again, Bluetooth
automatically turns on.

Bluetooth partnerships
A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your device and
another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange information in a secure manner.
Creating a partnership between two devices involves entering the same personal
identification number (PIN) or Passkey on both devices. Creating a partnership between
two devices is a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices can
recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a PIN again. Make
sure the two devices are within a range of 10 metres from one another, and Bluetooth is
turned on and in discoverable mode.

Downloading messages
The manner in which you download messages depends the type of account you have:
. • To send and receive e-mail for an Outlook E-mail account, begin
synchronization through ActiveSync. For more information, see “Synchronizing Outlook
information” in Chapter 4.
. • To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you have with
an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or that you access using a VPN server connection
(typically a work account), download messages through a remote e-mail server. For
more information, see “To download messages from the server” later in this chapter.
. • Text messages are automatically received when your phone is turned on. When
your phone is turned off (in fl ight mode), messages are held by your service provider
until the next time your phone is turned on.
To download messages from the server
To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you have with an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) or that you access using a VPN server connection
(typically a work account), you first need to connect to the Internet or your corporate
network, depending on the account.
1. Tap Menu > Switch Accounts and tap the account you want to use.
2. Tap Menu > Send/Receive. The messages on your device and e-mail server are
synchronized: new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in
the device Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted from the server
are removed from the device Inbox folder.
Tips If you want to read the entire message, tap Menu > Download Message while in
the message window. If you are in the message list, tap and hold the message,
and tap Menu > Download Message. The message will download the next time
you send and receive e-mail. This will also download message attachments if you
selected those options when you set up the e-mail account.
Managing folders
Each Messaging account has its own folder hierarchy with five default Messaging folders:
Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items. The messages you receive and
send through the account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional
folders within each hierarchy. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have
been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders
depends on the Messaging options you have chosen.
If you use an Outlook E-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
will be synchronized automatically with your device. You can select to synchronize
additional folders by designating them for synchronization. The folders you create and
the messages you move will then be mirrored on the e-mail server. For example, if you
move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have
designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder
and copies the messages to that folder. You can then read the messages while you are
away from your PC.
If you use a text message account, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
If you use a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the
link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the e-mail server.
The next time you connect, the e-mail server will detect that the messages are missing
from the Inbox folder on the device and will delete them from the e-mail server. This
prevents having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer
have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the
device.
If you use an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move
are mirrored on the e-mail server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you
connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your device or PC. This synchronization
of folders occurs whenever you connect to your e-mail server, create new folders, or
rename/delete folders when connected. You can also set different download options for
each folder.

About licenses and protected files
Some content (such as digital media files downloaded from the Internet, CD tracks, and
videos) have associated licenses that protect them from being unlawfully distributed or
shared. Licenses are created and managed by using digital rights management (DRM),
which is the technology for securing content and managing its access rights. Some
licenses may prevent you from playing files that have been copied to your device. Files
that have licenses associated with them are called “protected files.”
If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your device, use the desktop Player
to synchronize the file to your device (instead of dragging the file from a folder on your
PC to a folder on your device, for example). This will ensure that the license is copied
along with the protected file. For more information about synchronizing files to your
device and other mobile devices, see desktop Player Help.
Note You can view the protection status for a file by checking its file properties (tapping
Menu > Properties).
To play items on your device
Use the library to find and play songs, videos, and playlists that are stored on your
device or removable storage card.
1. If you are not on the Library screen, tap Menu > Library.
2. On the Library screen, tap the Library arrow (near the top of the screen), then tap the
library that you want use (for example, My Device or Storage Card).
3. Tap a category (for example, My Music or My Playlists), tap and hold the item that you
want to play (such as a song, album, or artist name), then tap Play.
Note To play a file that is stored on your device but is not in a library, on the Library
screen, tap Menu > Open File. Tap and hold the item that you want to play (such
as a file or a folder), then tap Play.
To play an item on a network
Use the Open URL command to play a song or video that is stored on the Internet or
on a network server.
1. If you are not on the Playback screen, tap OK to close the current screen and display
the Playback screen.
2. Tap Menu > Open URL.
3. Do one of the following:
. • In the URL box, enter a network address.
. • In the History box, tap a URL that you have previously used.
Note To play an item on a network, you must be connected to a network. For more
information about creating a remote connection between your device and a
network, see Connections Help on your device.
Copy files to your device
Use the latest version of the desktop Player (Windows Media Player 10 or later) to
synchronize digital media files to your device (instead of dragging a file from a folder on
your PC to a folder on your device, for example). Using the desktop Player ensures that
licenses are copied with protected files.
When synchronizing files, always synchronize the files to a storage card that is inserted
into your device. Do not synchronize to a storage card that is inserted into a storage card
reader. In addition, do not synchronize to the internal storage location (RAM) in your
device. For more information about synchronizing files to mobile devices, see desktop
Player Help on the PC.
Note Audio files copy faster if the desktop Player is configured to automatically set the
quality level for audio files copied to your device. For more information, see
desktop Player Help on the PC.

Unsupported features in Excel Mobile
Excel Mobile does not fully support some features such as formulas and cell comments.
Some data and formatting may be lost when you save the workbook on your device.
Note the following Excel Mobile formatting considerations:
. • Alignment. Horizontal, vertical, and wrap-text attributes remain the same, but
vertical text appears horizontal.
. • Borders. Appear as a single line.
. • Cell patterns. Patterns applied to cells are removed.
. • Fonts and font sizes. Fonts not supported by your device are mapped to the
closest font available. The original font is listed on your device. When the workbook is
opened in Excel on your PC again, the data is displayed in the original font.
. • Number formats. Numbers formatted using the Microsoft Excel 97 conditional
formatting feature are displayed in Number format.
. • Formulas and functions. If an Excel file contains a function that is not
supported by Excel Mobile, the function is removed, and only the returned value of the
function appears. The following formulas are also converted to values: formulas entered
as an array or containing an array argument, for example, =SUM({1;2;3;4}); formulas
containing external link references or an intersection range reference; and formulas
containing references past row 16384 are replaced with #REF!
. • Protection settings. Most worksheet and workbook protection features are
disabled but not removed. However, support for password protection has been removed.
Workbooks that are password-protected or workbooks in which one or more worksheets
are password-protected cannot be opened. You must remove the password protection in
Excel on the PC and then synchronize to open the file on the device.
. • Zoom settings. Are not retained. Excel supports a per worksheet zoom setting,
while the Excel Mobile zoom setting is applied to the entire workbook.
. • Worksheet names. Names that reference worksheets within the same
workbook are displayed accurately, but names that refer to other workbooks, arrays, for
example, ={1;2;3;4}, array formulas, or intersection ranges are removed from the name
list. If a name is removed from the list, it is left in formulas and functions, causing those
formulas to be resolved as “#NAME?” All hidden names are not hidden.
. • AutoFilter settings. Are removed. However, you can use the AutoFilter
command in Excel Mobile to perform similar functions. If you have an AutoFilter applied
to a worksheet that causes rows to be hidden, the rows remain hidden when the file is
opened in Excel Mobile. Use the Unhide command to display the hidden rows.
. • Chart formatting. All charts will be saved the way they are shown in Excel
Mobile. Unsupported chart types are changed to one of these supported types: Column,
Bar, Line, Pie, Scatter, and Area. Background colors, gridlines, data labels, trend lines,
shadows, 3D effects, secondary axes, and logarithmic scales are turned off.
. • Worksheet features. The following features are not supported in Excel Mobile
and are removed or modified when a workbook is opened on the device: hidden sheets
are not hidden; VBA modules, macro sheets, and dialog sheets are removed and
replaced with a place holder sheet; text boxes, drawing objects, pictures, lists,
conditional formats, and controls are removed; pivot table data is converted to values.
