Introduction 

About the Modem Charging Cradle 

The  Modem  Charging  Cradle  enables  a  connection  to  a  remote  server 
using the GPRS service of the GSM cellular network. Palm Tungsten E2 
handheld  users  can  access  and  transfer  critical  information  as  easily  as 
making  a  phone  call.  The  cradle  communicates  via  serial  transmission 
with  the  Palm  handheld.  Before  it  can  transfer  data  over  the  cellular 
network, the cradle will require third party software to be installed on the 
handheld. 

 

NOTE 
Palm does not support HotSync over a serial connection, thus 
HotSync is not a supported application for this device.
