You can choose which data types to sync:
 Contacts

 Tasks
 Notes
 Bookmarks

Important: Some data types may not be available depending on your current PIM.

It is only possible to change the synchronization settings in the application while the phone is connected.
If you try to change the settings without the phone connected, the menu option will be grayed out.

Field mapping between your computer PIM and phone:


We will use Microsoft Outlook 2003 as an example when describing field matching
between the PIM and phone. The phone can only support a limited amount of information so not every field in
Outlook can be copied to the phone
In the list below we show which fields are supported. There is also a limitation on field
lengths in the phone, therefore long field names will be truncated when displayed in the phone.

7. GETTING STARTED WITH THE SONY ERICSSON PC SUITE
===============================================================

The first time the Sony Ericsson PC Suite is started, a connection wizard is displayed to help you to connect your
phone to the PC. You can connect your phone trough USB, Bluetooth or Infrared.

Follow the connection wizard to connect your phone.


To get more information on the phone modes, click on Overview button.

To get additional help select Help menu or click on F1.

===============================================================
8. LIMITATIONS
===============================================================

Synchronization

If there is more data in the PIM than allowed in the phone, the synchronization will be aborted
and you will be asked to free up space on your phone or reduce the scope of the synchronization.
It is a good rule to check the number of items in the phone from time to time to make sure that
there is enough free space for new items to be synchronized.

Synchronization/Backup & Restore

There are some Microsoft Office components which can interfere with the PC Suite during synchronization and backup
and restore operations. If such a problem occurs, one or more Microsoft error dialogs will be displayed, involving a
“CiceroUIWndFrame” component and the current operation will fail. To resolve this, you will have to uninstall Speech
and Handwriting feature from Microsoft Office: open the Windows Control Panel, choose “Add/Remove Programs”
option. Look for Microsoft Office and click “Modify”. Select Office Shared Features > Alternative User Input > Speech
and Handwriting. Disable Speech and Handwriting (you may have to restart your computer).
Text Messages

If you have changed location for where to save your messages in your phone (e.g. from Phone memory to Memory
Stick or vice versa), all messages might not be displayed in the Sony Ericsson PC Suite.

Bluetooth

If you are using Toshiba Bluetooth or IVT BlueSoleil stack, it is strongly advised that you pair your Sony Ericsson
phone outside the PC Suite, using the stack built-in pairing wizard.

If you are using Toshiba Bluetooth stack, you may experience a recurrent loss of focus in your office applications
(such as Word, Excel, Outlook) when Sony Ericsson PC Suite is running in the background and you have a
disconnected Bluetooth phone or modem device.
This is a Toshiba Bluetooth stack issue that can be encountered on any application that uses Bluetooth modems and
COM ports.
To resolve the issue, you can either:
- Reconnect the missing Bluetooth device
- Shut down the Toshiba Bluetooth radio: right click the Bluetooth icon in the tray bar and choose
“Shut down Bluetooth radio”. You can restart it at any time using the same menu.
- Exit PC Suite

You might have connections issues if there are multiple logged in users who use the same Bluetooth
hardware to connect via Sony Ericsson PC Suite. Please make sure that other users are disconnected
before trying to pair your phone.

File Studio

You might not be able to use the media files that you upload from your PC into your phone if the files are not copied
in the right directory. For example, a common misuse is to copy pictures into the DCIM directory, instead of
DCIM\100MSDCF. To make sure that all the media files are properly copied in the right location on the phone, drag
your files directly to the root folder of the phone, where you can see folder “Phone Memory” and possibly “Memory
Stick” if you have one. This way the File Studio will take care of storing your files in the correct location, and you’ll be
able to use them on your phone.
