IMPORTANT
Synchronize your Treo 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
Treo—to your new Treo XXX, 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.

Calculate how much space your apps
and info occupy on your
previous
Palm
OS device.
•
In Applications View, open the menus.
•
Select
Info
on the
App
menu.
•
At the bottom of the screen, select
Size
.
•
Look at the numbers on the
Free
Space
line and subtract the number
on the left from the number on the
right to calculate the space used. For
example, on the device shown here,
22.4 – 17.5 = 4.9. This means that
4.9MB of space is occupied on this
device.

If the space occupied on your previous
device is 64MB or less, go to step 3. If
the space occupied is greater than
64MB, do any of the following to reduce
the storage space you’re using before
you go to the next step:
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 Treo XXX. Such
methods transfer all applications to your
Treo XXX, including those that are not
designed to work with Palm OS version 5.4.9.
