Setting up your
computer for
synchronization
Even if you are synchronizing email,
contacts, calendar events, and tasks
directly with Exchange Server 2003, we
recommend that you install the ActiveSync
desktop software from the Windows
Mobile Getting Started Disc so that you
can sync your smartphone directly with
your computer. Why? Using ActiveSync
enables you to synchronize additional info
such as pictures, videos, music files,
Microsoft Office files, and notes, so you
can create and work on files on your
smartphone and then sync changes to your
computer, where you then have a
backed-up and up-to-date copy of important
info.

CHAPTER
Before you can synchronize directly with
your computer, you need to install the
desktop synchronization software and
connect the sync cable to your computer.
Even if you have already installed a
previous version of ActiveSync desktop
software, you must install the software
that came with your smartphone on the
Windows Mobile Getting Started Disc.
System requirements
Your computer must meet the following
minimum system requirements:
•Windows 2000 or XP (later versions
may also be supported)
•32MB of available memory (RAM)
•170MB of free hard disk space
•CD drive
•Available USB port

software
BEFORE YOU BEGIN If you are installing
the software on a computer at work, make
sure your company allows you to install
new software. Contact your company’s
IT department for help.
1Close any applications that are currently
running on your computer, including
those running in the background. Your
computer needs to have all its
resources available to install the
software.
2Insert the Windows Mobile Getting
Started Disc into the CD drive on your
computer.
3Follow the installation instructions on
your computer.
During installation, you connect your
smartphone to your computer and sync
for the first time. Be sure to watch

If you want to synchronize with a personal
information manager (PIM) other than
Microsoft Office Outlook, you must install a
third-party solution. Contact the PIM’s vendor
to learn if software is available for your Treo
750v smartphone.
