    Adding Accounts
    You can add multiple GoogleTM Accounts and Exchange 
    accounts. You may also be able to add other kinds of accounts, 
    depending on the applications downloaded and installed on 
    your device.
    When you add an account, the Contacts application compares 
    any new contacts with your existing contacts and will join 
    contact entries if matches are found. This does not join that 
    data on the accounts themselves; they are only displayed as a 
    single contact on your device.
    (See “Configuring Account Sync and Display Options” on page 
    114 to learn how to separate contact information that was 
    joined incorrectly.)
    To add an account:
    NOTE:  To add some accounts, you will need to contact a network administrator for 
    account setup information. For example, you may need to know the account’s 
    domain or server address.
    1.   Press  >  > Settings > Accounts & Sync. The 
    Accounts & Sync settings screen displays your current 
    sync settings and accounts. (For more information, see 
    “Configuring Account Sync and Display Options” on page 
    114.)
    2. Tap  the Add Account.
    3. Tap the account you want to add.
    4.  Follow the onscreen steps to enter the required (and 
    optional) account information.
    NOTE:  Many accounts require only a username and password, but some accounts 
    will require more information.
    5. Configure the account. 
    						
    							114Accounts
    Depending on the kind of account, you may be asked to 
    configure what kinds of data you want to sync to the device, 
    name of the account, and other details. 
    When you’re finished, the account will be added to the list in 
    the Accounts & Sync settings screen. 
    Removing an Account
    You can remove an account to delete all information associated 
    with it from your device, including email, contacts, settings, 
    etc.
    Some accounts cannot be removed, such the first Google 
    Account you set up on the device. That account can only be 
    removed by resetting your device entirely.
    To remove an account:
    1.   Press 
     >  > Settings > Accounts & Sync. 
    2. Tap the account you want to delete.
    3. Tap Remove Account.
    4.  Tap Remove Account again to confirm that you want to 
    remove the account.
    Configuring Account Sync and Display 
    Options
    You can configure background data and synchronization options 
    for the applications on your device. You can also configure 
    synchronization options for each account. Some applications, 
    such as Gmail
    TM and Calendar, have their own synchronization 
    settings. Some applications, such as Contacts and Gmail, can 
    sync data for multiple accounts. Others, such as Calendar, sync 
    data only from the first Google Account you set up with your 
    device, or from an account associated specifically with that 
    application. 
    						
    							115Accounts
    For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you 
    make to the information on your device are synchronized with 
    the accounts on the Web or computer. Your Google Account 
    synchronizes in a two-directional manner. Other accounts 
    support only one-way sync; the information changed on your 
    phone is only changed on your phone.
    To configure general sync settings:
    1.   Press 
     >  > Settings > Accounts & Sync. 
    Touch the account to configure it.
    Sync status
        >Ê indicates that some, or all, of an account’s information 
    is configured to sync automatically with your device.
        >Ê
     indicates that none of an account’s information is 
    configured to sync automatically with your device.
    2.  Tap Background Data to enable or disable whether 
    applications can use your data connection to synchronize 
    data while the applications run in the background.
      If you disable this option, the Gmail and Calendar    >Ê
    applications will not automatically receive updates until 
    they are manually refreshed (using their respective 
    options menu).
    3.  Tap Auto-Sync to enable or disable whether changes 
    you make to information on the device or on the web are 
    automatically synced with each other. 
    						
    							116Accounts
      For example, when this option is enabled, changes that    >Ê
    you make in the Contacts application on your device 
    are automatically made to your on-the-Web Google 
    Contacts
    TM.
      If you uncheck this option, you may be able to use an    >Ê
    application’s tools to sync data manually.
    To sync information manually:
    1. Press 
     >  > Settings > Accounts & Sync.
    2. Tap the account whose data you want to sync.
    3. Press 
     > Sync Now.
    To change an account’s sync settings:
    1. Press 
     >  > Settings > Accounts & Sync.
    2. Tap the account whose data you want to change.
      The Data and synchronization screen will open, displaying    >Ê
    a list of the kinds of information the account can sync.
    3.  Tap the items you want to sync. (A green checkmark 
    indicates that synchronization has been enabled.)
      By disabling synchronization for an item, it will not remove    >Ê
    the previously synchronized data from your device, it 
    will simply stop future syncs. To remove the information 
    previously synced for the account, you must remove the 
    account.

    Opening Music and Working with Your 
    Library
    After you’ve copied some music onto your microSD card you 
    can open the Music application and see your library of music 
    files, sorted in one of four ways.

    Press    Ej >  > Music. 
    The Music application searches the microSD card for music 
    files you copied to your card, then builds a catalog of your 
    music based on the information contained in each music 
    file. This can take from a few seconds to several minutes, 
    depending on how may files you have copied onto the 
    microSD card.  
    When the catalog is complete, the Music library screen 
    opens, with tabs that you can touch to view your music 
    library organized by Artists, Albums, Songs, or Playlists.
