PAGE 16 SYNCHRONIZING YOUR PHONE HIGHLIGHT FEATURES
Synchronizing Your Phone
You can synchronize the information on your phone
with the information on your computer either over the
air (OTA) or by using a cable.
Synchronizing Over the Air
To sync your phone over the air, you must sync it directly
with a Microsoft Information Server or Microsoft
Exchange Server 2003. For more information, see page
9 and the MOTO Q Support website at:
http://www.motorola.com/support/Q
or contact your system administrator.
Note:
If you are out of network coverage, and your
phone tries to sync three times without finding a
network, your synchronization settings automatically
revert to manual synchronization. To set your
synchronization schedule back to the desired frequency,
reset the
Schedule
option in the ActiveSync settings.
(On the Home screen, press
Start > ActiveSync >
Menu > Schedule
).
Synchronizing With a Computer
Note:
For information about connections (Bluetooth,
VPN, or web browser), see page
52.
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync version 4.1 or later to
synchronize information between your phone and
computer. ActiveSync compares your phone’s contact
information, calendar appointments, e-mail messages,
and media files to those on your computer and then
updates to the most recent information.
Installing & Setting Up ActiveSync
To synchronize your phone with a computer, you must
install Microsoft ActiveSync software on your computer.
If you do not have a CD-ROM, you can download the
latest ActiveSync software from the Microsoft Windows
Mobile website
:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile.
Caution:
Before installing the software, check the
requirements for your computer and operating system
with the CD-ROM sleeve or Microsoft Mobile Phone
website: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile.
1. Install ActiveSync on your computer.
2. After setup completes, connect your phone to
the
computer.
The phone drivers are installed on your computer
and then the Sync Setup Wizard automatically starts.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete
the wizard.
Note:
You can configure an Exchange Server
connection to synchronize directly with Exchange Server
and Outlook e-mail clients. The Sync Setup Wizard will
prompt you for the name of the Exchange Server, your
user name, password, and domain name. If you don’t
have this information available, contact your system
administrator or see Additional Information on page
9
and the MOTO Q Support website:
http://www.motorola.com/support/Q.
When you finish the wizard, ActiveSync automatically
starts to synchronize with your phone. After
synchronization completes, you can disconnect your
phone from your computer.
Note:
You may need to restart your computer.
