Performing cradle HotSync operations
The simplest way to synchronize data is to perform a direct HotSync operation by
seating your handheld in the cradle and pressing the HotSync button.
Performing a cradle HotSync operation: Windows
The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user information on
Palm Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize, the
HotSync Manager recognizes your handheld and doesn’t ask for this information
again.
If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a group of
users, you may want to create a user profile. See
later in
this chapter before performing the following steps.
IMPORTANT
You must perform your first HotSync operation with a local, direct
connection, or with infrared communication, rather than using a modem.
The following steps assume that you have already installed Palm Desktop
software. If you have not installed this software, see
for instructions.
To perform a local HotSync operation on a Windows computer:
1.
Place your handheld on the cradle.
2.
If the HotSync Manager is not running, start it: On the Windows desktop, click
Start, and then choose Programs. Navigate to the Palm Desktop software
program group and choose HotSync Manager. Alternatively, you can start the
Palm Desktop software which automatically opens the HotSync Manager.
