124 Chapter 6 Synchronizing Information
Sync your phone with Microsoft My Phone.
If you have a Microsoft My Phone account, you can sync and
restore the contacts, calendar appointments, photos, and other
information that you stored on your account to your current
Windows phone. See “Synchronizing With Microsoft My Phone”
in this chapter for details.
6.2 Before Synchronizing With Your Computer
Before you can sync with your computer, you need to install and set
up first the synchronization software on your computer. For more
information, see “Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on
Windows Vista” and “Setting Up ActiveSync on Windows XP” in this
chapter.
After installing the synchronization software on your computer,
connect the phone to your computer using the USB sync cable. When
the Connect to PC screen appears on your phone, tap ActiveSync, and
then tap Done.
You can also sync information with your computer using Bluetooth.
See “Synchronizing via Bluetooth” later in this chapter.
Notes • ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center only syncs data on
your computer and phone. If you have installed a storage card
and you want to back up files from the storage card, use Windows
Explorer on your computer to copy files from the storage card to your
computer.
• If you are sending your phone for repair or performing a hard reset,
data from your phone will be lost. It is recommended that you sync
your phone to your computer to back up your files. To back up files
from the storage card to your computer, use Windows Explorer to
copy files from the storage card to the computer.
