How to Use an Intellisync BlackBerry

Intellisync makes transferring contacts simple.

Blackberry smart phones offer several device applications that are easily managed with the BlackBerry Desktop Manager synchronization option. Efficient and easy to use, Intellisync provides smart phone users with content synchronization between a variety of applications, including Yahoo, Microsoft Outlook Express and many other third-party applications. The days of individually entering phone book contacts, calendar appointments and downloading third-party applications from the small PDA screen are over.

• USB cable

1. Connect a USB cable to the port on your Blackberry device and to your computer. Open Desktop Software from your computer.

2. Click "Synchronize" from the Desktop Manager home screen then click the "Configure" tab at the top of the window.

3. Click "Configure Sync." A pop-up window will display. Choose the device application--Calendar, Memopad, Address Book or Task--that you wish to configure.

4. Select the application you wish to synchronize with: Yahoo, Microsoft Outlook Express or ASCII importer/exporter. Click "Next." Choose between one-way sync from device to application or application to device, or two-way sync. Click "Next."

Tips & Warnings

• Some third-party applications offer wireless or "over the air" synchronizations, such as Google Calender Sync. You can download these applications through BlackBerry App World, through the device browser or Intellisync.

• If you do choose to synchronize content with Intellisync verses wireless synchronization, be sure the wireless synchronization option is turned off on the device before starting the Desktop Manager. If you are not sure how to disable wireless synchronization, choose "Help" from your device.
