OVERVIEW
This guide provides details on how to connect your phone to your
computer and manage the phone’s music content.
In order to manage your phone’s content, you must first set your phone
connection settings as described in “PHONE CONNECTION SETTINGS”
on page 3. After setting your desired phone connection, you can manage
your phone’s music content using Windows Media Player.
Note If you set your phone’s connection setting as “Memory Card”,
your computer recognizes you phone as a removable storage
device. In this setting, you can manage your music using
Windows Media Player or by viewing the “Removable Disk”
icon contents under My Computer > Devices with Removable
Storage. Please refer to “MANAGING YOUR PHONE USING
THE MEMORY CARD SETTING” on page 13 for more
information.
After connecting your phone, you can manage your music by:

AND THE MEMORY CARD SETTING” on page 9.

PHONE CONNECTION SETTINGS
You must ensure that the proper connection setting is selected on your
phone when connecting your phone to a computer via a USB cable. The
following procedure will help you change your phone settings to the
correct connection mode depending on your application.
Important Please make sure to select your phone setting BEFORE
you connect your USB cable to your phone.
When connecting your phone and computer via the USB
cable, you may not be able to change the connection
setting on the phone once connected. When you connect
your phone and your computer with the USB cable, you
may not be able to change the phone connection setting
when the phone is attached. This is necessary to avoid
data loss or memory card corruption if the connection is
lost during data transfer.
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR PHONE CONNECTION SETTING
The following is a general procedure on changing the connection
settings. Please refer to your phone’s user manual for more detailed
steps for your particular phone.
1Press the Center key ( ) on your keypad.
2From the Main menu, select Settings > Connections.

DRM-protected music files from supported online stores (such

Memory Card - when syncing your phone directly with your
computer, or if you would like to manage specific music content
