10 Synchronizing Information
Some applications on your mobile phone give you access to the same personal
information that you can add, view, and edit on your computer. If you add, change,
or delete your information in any of these applications on the web, the updated
information also appears on your mobile phone.
This is made possible through over-the-air data synchronization. The process occurs
in the background and does not interfere with use of your mobile phone. When your
phone is synchronizing, a data synchronization icon will be shown in the notification
bar.
10.1 Managing Your Accounts
You can synchronize contacts, email, and other information on your mobile phone
with multiple Google accounts or other kinds of accounts, depending on the
applications installed on your mobile phone.
For example, you can start by adding your personal Google account, so your
personal email, contacts, and calendar are always available. You could then add a
work account, so your work-related emails and work contacts are handy. If you like,
you may add multiple Google accounts or other accounts.
10.1.1 Adding an Account
When you add an account,

synchronized account with contacts from your existing mobile phone accounts and
attempts to merge duplicates into a single entry in
Contacts

Settings
>
Accounts & sync
. The screen displays your current
synchronization settings and a list of your current accounts.

address.
2. Touch
Add account
.
3. Touch the kind of account to add.
4. Follow the onscreen steps to enter the required and optional information about
the account. Most accounts require a user name and password, but the details

are connecting.
5. Configure the account. Depending on the kind of account, you may be asked to
configure what kind of data you want to sync to the mobile phone, to name the
account, and for other details. When you are finished, the account is added to the
list in the
Accounts & sync settings
screen.
50

You can remove an account, deleting it and all information associated with it from
your mobile phone, including email, contacts, settings, and so on. You cannot,

3. Confirm that you want to remove the account.
10.2 Customizing Your Account Synchronization

applications on your phone. You can also configure what kind of data you
synchronize for each account.
For some accounts, synchronizing is two-directional; changes that you make to the
information on your mobile phone are made to the copy of that information on the
web. Some accounts support only one-way synchronization; the information on your
mobile phone is read-only.
10.2.1 Configuring General Sync Settings
On the
Accounts & sync settings
screen, do the following:
• Select or clear the
Background data
check box to control whether applications

Calendar
stops
synchronizing events, and so on, until you touch the
Refresh
menu item or send
an email.
• Select or clear the
Auto-sync
check box to control whether changes you make
to information on the phone or on the web are automatically synchronized with
each other.

Contacts
on the phone are automatically made in Google Contacts on the web.

Accounts & sync settings

synchronization settings you want to change. The data and synchronization
screen opens, displaying a list of the kinds of information the account can

Medical Device
• Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities. Do
not use your device when using the device is prohibited.
• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15 cm be
maintained between a device and a pacemaker to prevent potential interference
with the pacemaker. If you are using a pacemaker, use the device on the opposite
side of the pacemaker and do not carry the device in your front pocket.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Power off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and
comply with all signs and instructions. Areas that may have potentially explosive
atmospheres include the areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine. Triggering of sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or a fire,
resulting in bodily injuries or even deaths. Do not power on your device at refueling
points such as service stations. Comply with restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, storage, and distribution areas, and chemical plants. In
addition, adhere to restrictions in areas where blasting operations are in progress.
Before using the device, watch out for areas that have potentially explosive
atmospheres that are often, but not always, clearly marked. Such locations include
areas below the deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Ask the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) whether this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
