Upgrade information
If you already own a Palm OS
®
handheld, go to the web site
www.palm.com/support/zire71
for upgrade instructions.
Step 1: Connect the HotSync ® cradle/cable to the computer
a.
Locate the USB icon and ports on your computer.
b.
Plug the USB connector into a USB port on your computer.
c.
Connect the power adapter cable to the back of the cradle/cable.
NOTE
On some cradles/cables, the power adapter cable may plug into a tail
on the back of the USB connector instead of the back of the cradle/cable.
d.
Plug the adapter into a working electric outlet.
Windows NT users cannot use a USB cradle/cable and port. You must use a
cradle/cable with a serial port connection (sold separately).
Step 2: Charge your handheld
a.
Connect your handheld to the cradle/cable for at least two hours for an initial
charge.
b.
After it is charged, remove the handheld from the cradle/cable by gently tilting
it forward and then lifting it from the cradle/cable.
Once your handheld is set up and in daily use it requires about 15 to 30 minutes of
charge time per day, depending on usage. To keep the battery fully charged, we
recommend placing your handheld in a cradle/cable that is connected to a power
source whenever you are not using it.
