Performing cable HotSync operations
The simplest way to synchronize data is to perform a direct HotSync operation by
connecting your handheld to the cable, turning on your handheld, and tapping the
Favorite icon
.
IMPORTANT
You must perform your first HotSync operation with a local, direct
connection.
Performing a HotSync operation for the first time: Windows
When you installed Palm Desktop software, you entered a username. This
username is the connection between your handheld and your computer. The first
time you synchronize your data, you are prompted to enter your username in
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
“Creating a user profile” later in
this chapter before performing the following steps.
