Why synchronize information?
Quickly enter and update information on your computer and handheld.
Synchronizing
updates information both on your handheld and in
Palm® Desktop software
on your computer.
For example, you can quickly enter a contact list on your computer and then send it to your
handheld instead of reentering the information.
During CD installation, you can choose to
synchronize your handheld with Microsoft
Outlook
on your computer (Windows only).
Install applications.
With just a few clicks, you can use
Palm® Quick Install
to add files to certain
applications on your handheld or to install additional software.
Protect your information.
Nothing is worse than losing important information. When you
synchronize information, you create a backup copy. If something happens to your handheld or
your computer, the information is not lost; one tap restores it in both places.
Be sure to synchronize information at least once a day so that you always
have an up-to-date backup copy of important information.
Tip
Synchronize Microsoft
Word, PowerPoint, or
Excel files from your
computer and open them
in the
Documents
application on your
handheld to view and
edit them at your
convenience.
