Introduction to Your Palm VII™ Handheld
Using your handheld with another PIM
If you prefer to use another personal information manager (PIM), such
as Microsoft Outlook, you still need to install Palm Desktop software
in order to add HotSync Manager, connection software, and other
features of Palm Desktop software to your computer. The connection
software, called a conduit, lets you synchronize the data between your
handheld and your PIM.
If the installation program detects that you have Microsoft Outlook on
your computer, the program lets you choose between installing Palm
Desktop software or installing the conduit for Outlook so that you can
use that application as your PIM.
For information on the availability of conduit software for the PIM
you use, contact the vendor of your PIM or visit the web site
http://www.palm.com

Palm.Net wireless features
Your handheld is equipped with a transmitter and an antenna that let
you transmit and receive data over the airwaves. Palm, Inc. provides
the Palm.Net wireless communication service, which you must
subscribe to in order to gain access to wireless features.
After you activate the wireless communication service, the following
wireless features become available to you:
■
Web clipping, using web clipping applications
■
Wireless Internet messaging, using the iMessenger application
Activating the Palm.Net wireless communication service
The transmitter inside your handheld contains a rechargeable battery
that must be charged before you can activate the wireless
communication service and use the wireless features. The AAA
batteries that you install during Setup of your handheld charge the
transmitter, and charging begins as soon as you insert the batteries.
Charging takes about 70 minutes.
Before you activate the Palm.Net service, be sure of the following:
■
You’re within coverage of the network. To find detailed maps of
coverage, visit the web site

.
■
You’re in a location that can receive a strong radio signal. See
“Wireless problems” in Appendix B for tips on eliminating
obstacles to the signal.
