Getting to know your handheld
What is a Visor handheld?
With your Visor handheld, you will no longer have trouble getting to
meetings and appointments on time, remembering people’s names
and personal details, or keeping track of all the items on your to do list.
Your handheld can help you improve your track record in all these
areas, both at work and at home.
You can enter all your schedule details in Date Book Plus so you can
view them by the day, week, month, year, or in list format; you can
even set an alarm to remind you of important meetings. Keep all your
contact names, addresses, phone numbers, and other details in
Address, so you can find them as soon as you need them. Add your
tasks to To Do list, prioritize them so you don’t overlook them, and
assign them a due date.
To make sure you don’t lose any of this important information, you
can synchronize your data with Palm Desktop software on your
computer so you always have a backup copy. You can set different
levels of security for your handheld so unauthorized eyes cannot view
your data.
When you are out of the office, track your expenses for your expense
reports. You can write, edit, and view your e-mail, and then
synchronize your e-mail with your desktop E-Mail application when
you return to your office.
