install ActiveSync
To synchronize information on your phone with a PC, you
need to use Windows Mobile Device Center (on a PC
running Windows Vista) or install Microsoft ActiveSync (on
a PC running Windows XP™ or earlier).
Note: Synchronization software is included on the
Getting Started CD packed with your phone. Before
installing the software, verify that your computer and
operating system meet the minimum requirements
stated on the CD-ROM or Microsoft Windows™ Mobile
Web site (www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile). This Web site also
lets you download the latest software for ActiveSync.
1 Install Microsoft ActiveSync (for Windows XP or
earlier) or Windows Mobile Device Center (for
Windows Vista) on your PC.
2 After setup completes, connect your phone to the PC.
The device drivers install on your computer and then
the Sync Setup Wizard automatically starts.
3 Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the
wizard.
The wizard prompts you for the Exchange Server’s
name, your user name, your password, and the
domain name. If you don’t have this information,
contact the server’s system administrator.
When you finish the wizard, ActiveSync starts to
synchronize automatically with your phone.
Note: When synchronization completes, you can
disconnect your phone from your PC, and you may need to
restart your PC.

Once Microsoft ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device
Center is installed on your PC, you can connect it to your
phone and sync.
