Upgrading from another Palm
®
OS by
ACCESS device
NOTE
If you are setting up your first Palm
OS device, skip ahead to Installing the
desktop synchronization software.
When you install the desktop software
from the Palm Software Installation CD,
some third-party applications may be
quarantined because they are not
compatible with the Palm OS software
version 5.4.9 on your Centro 690.
Quarantined files are not installed on your
Centro 690, nor are they deleted. These
files are placed in a new folder on your
computer: C:\Program Files\Palm\
<device
name> \PalmOS5 Incompatible Apps.
(Can’t find a Palm folder in Program Files?
Then look for a folder labeled palmOne or
Handspring instead. For more info, see I
can’t find my user folder.)
IMPORTANT
Synchronize your Centro
with only the version of Palm Desktop
software included with your device. Older
versions may not work correctly.
You can transfer all compatible applications
and information from your previous Palm
OS device—whether it’s a handheld or a
Centro—to your new Centro 690, so long
as the space taken up by all the info you
want to transfer is 64MB or less. This
includes your calendar events, contacts,
memos, and tasks, as well as your
application settings and any compatible
third-party applications and files.
1 Calculate how much space your apps
and info occupy on your
previous Palm
OS device.
TIP
We do not recommend using third-party
utilities that back up your old device’s
information onto an expansion card and then
transfer the info to your Centro 690. Such
methods transfer all applications to your
Centro 690, including those that are not
designed to work with Palm OS version 5.4.9.
