sync with Palm compatible devices
“What is syncing?”
The ability to sync multiple Palm
™
compatible devices is one of the
most advantageous features of Audrey.
This means that you can send all of
the Datebook and Address Book entries
from your Palm compatible device to
Audrey and vice versa. This way you
can stay up-to-date on your schedule
and contacts both at home and on the
go. You can also import and edit your
Palm compatible device’s Date Book
and Address book information and then
re-send it to your Palm compatible
device, for easy editing.
To initiate a HotSync
operation once your device
is connected to Audrey,
either tap the “HotSync”
icon on your Palm compatible
device’s desktop or press the
HotSync button on your Palm cradle.
When a HotSync operation begins,
Audrey asks for a password if the soft-
ware is password protected. Type your
password and then press ENTER on
Audrey’s keyboard. Audrey will begin
syncing the information in your Palm
compatible device to a new database
within Audrey with the same name as
the owner of the Palm
compatible device.
To connect your Palm
compatible device,
you will need a Palm cradle or
sync cable. Connect the 9-pin
serial connector from your Palm cra-
dle or sync cable to the 9-pin serial
jack on the back of Audrey (see pic-
ture at left).
When you initiate a
HotSync
®
operation
between your Palm compatible
device and Audrey, you can
access its information from
within Audrey’s Address Book
and Datebook applications. After
the first connection is established,
the information from that user’s
Palm compatible device will always
appear as up-to-date as the last
HotSync operation. For more
information on performing these
operations,
read on.
