Common Tasks

Exchanging and updating data:
HotSync operations

The HotSync process automatically synchronizes — that is, exchanges and updates — data
between your communicator and desktop software. Changes you make on your communicator or
desktop software appear in both places after a HotSync operation. HotSync technology
synchronizes only the needed portions of files, thus reducing synchronization time. You can
synchronize your data directly by connecting your communicator to your computer with the
HotSync cable or by beaming the data from the IR port on your communicator to the IR port on
your computer, or indirectly with a modem or network. See Chapter 8 for information about
performing HotSync operations via the IR port, a modem, or a network.

Performing a HotSync operation for the first time

The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user information on both the
communicator and Palm Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize, the
HotSync Manager recognizes your communicator and doesn’t ask for this information again.

If you are a System Administrator preparing several communicators for a group of users, you may
want to create a user profile. See the section that begins on page 209 before performing the
following steps.

Important:

You must use the HotSync cable for your

first

HotSync operation.

The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop software. If you
have not installed this software, see page 25 for instructions.

To perform a local HotSync operation:

1. Connect your communicator to the Hotsync cable. See the section that begins on page 23

for details.

2. If the HotSync Manager is not running, start it: On the Windows desktop, click Start, and then

choose Programs. Navigate to the Handspring (or Palm) program group and choose HotSync
Manager. Alternatively, you can start the Palm Desktop software which automatically opens
the HotSync Manager.

3. Press the HotSync button on the cable.
