From the General tab, select whether you want HotSync to:
■
Always be available (to monitor the communication port for
PalmPilot synchronization requests), or
■
Available only when the PalmPilot Desktop is operating, or
■
Run manually, which means you have to start the HotSync
Manager yourself.
If you’re not sure which of these options to use, use the
Always available (default) setting.

Click OK. The Setup dialog closes.
Customizing the HotSync Feature
A “conduit” determines how records are handled during HotSync.
A conduit exists for each application. This section describes how
you can customize whether conduits are invoked, and what the
conduits do.
PalmPilot Desktop assumes that you want all files synchronized
between the PalmPilot and the PalmPilot Desktop. In general, you
should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only reason
you might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on one
platform over another, or to not synchronize a particular type of file
because you don’t use it.
In addition to the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List Memo Pad
and Expense application conduits, PalmPilot Desktop includes
System and Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the
system information stored in your PalmPilot, including Graffiti
®
software ShortCuts. The Install conduit is used to install PalmPilot
applications. There should not be a need to disable the Install
conduit.
