Configuring your Phone
to Sync with Exchange
(please note that your phone may look slightly different from these
instuctions depending on the version of Windows Mobile)
Warning do NOT connect your SmartPhone phone
to your PC and attempt to set up Active Sync - if you do so it will
cause problems. SmartPhones sync data through a wireless data network!
Please follow the directions below for a safe
and dependable way to Sync your phone!

Create Schedule to Sync with Server
Create a server synchronization schedule so that your information is
automatically synchronized with the server at specified time intervals:
Start > ActiveSync (5) > Menu > Options
(1) > Mobile Schedule
Note: frequent synchronization may cause the battery to run down sooner
than expected, depending upon phone model and battery capacity. The
SDCS IT Dept. recommends a 30 minute schedule. Remember that you can
always manually sync by selecting:
Start > ActiveSync (5) > Sync
or by selecting the ActiveSync icon from the Home Screen. (See your
phone manual for more details.)
