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 Getting Started 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. Quarantined files are not installed
on your Centro, nor are they deleted.
These files are placed in a new folder on
your computer: C:\Program
Files\Palm\<
device name >\PalmOS5
