Performing HotSync operations
The first time you synchronize data, you need to enter user information
on both the phone and the Palm Desktop. Once you enter this information
and synchronize, the HotSync Manager recognizes your phone and
doesn’t ask for this information again. You must perform your first
HotSync operation using the cradle, rather than using a modem.
Important considerations
■
If you are a system administrator
preparing several pdQ
2
s for a
group of users, see “Creating a user profile” on page 67 in the pdQ
2
Reference Guide before you continue. Use a unique name for each
phone.
■
If you are an existing Palm organizer user,
back up your current files
to your computer before you perform a HotSync operation to the
pdQ
2
. Give your pdQ
2
a different user name than your Palm
organizer. If problems occur with some applications, you may need to
delete the old files and reinstall them. See Chapter 5—Transferring
Information in the pdQ
2
Reference Guide.
To perform your first HotSync operation
1.
