By synchronising your phone and your PC, you can make sure that all of your important information, like emails
and contacts, is kept up to date. You can also use synchronisation to add new programs to your phone.
First, you will need to install Outlook 2000 (if you don’t have this already) and the new version of
Microsoft®ActiveSync 3.7 from the Companion CD that came with your SPV C500, as earlier versions will
not work with your SPV C500.
Do not attach your phone and PC yet.
1Insert the SPV C500 Companion CD into the CD-ROM drive of your desktop computer. Don’t attach
your SPV C500 to your PC yet. The CD will autostart. Simply follow the on-screen instructions for
installing Microsoft®Outlook 2000 and Microsoft®ActiveSync 3.7.
2Restart your computer, then connect your SPV C500 using the cradle or USB connection cable.
ActiveSync will autostart when it detects your phone, and the connection wizard will open. Work
through each screen of the wizard, completing information as necessary.
3At this stage you can decide whether you wish
to create an exclusive Standard partnership
with the PC you are working on, or only a
temporary Guest partnership (for example, if
you are using a borrowed laptop or friend’s
computer). When you have finished, your PC
and SPV C500 will synchronise.

for the new contact in the fields. You must enter
contact numbers in the international form, ie,

Outlook contacts on your PC, using ActiveSync
you can copy them directly to your phone.

store the names and numbers of your
family, friends and colleagues in your
contacts list
Your phone has two contact memories, one on
your phone and the other on your SIM Card. When
you save a new contact it is automatically saved to
your phone. If you are using a SIM Card that
already holds contacts stored on another phone,
these will appear at the bottom of your contacts list
with the symbol next to them.
Your contacts list enables you to store information
about people and businesses you communicate
with. A contact card is created for each entry.
To open your contact list press Contacts from
the Home screen.
The contacts list displays the names of your
contacts alphabetically, along with an abbreviation
reminding you whether it’s the person’s work phone
number {‘w’) or Home phone number (‘h’). This
makes it easy to reach the contact using the
method you prefer. Other abbreviations are shown
in the grey box opposite.
When you open the contact you want to view,
you can see all of the information stored on the
contact card.
To open a contact card:
1Scroll to the contact you want to view and
press the Action key.
2You will see information such as the name of
the person or business, phone numbers, email
addresses, and more.

Orange Directory Enquiries
The new number for Directory Enquiries is 118
000. So save 118 000 to your phone now, and it’ll
be there the next time you’re out and about and
need a number in a hurry.
Otherwise, it’s the same convenient service from
Orange. Simply call 118 000 and tell the operator
the name or place you are looking for and they will
tell you the number (you can request three
numbers per call). Then, they will send a text
message to your phone at no extra cost, allowing
you to call the number directly from the message
or add it straight to your phonebook.
