Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

Why synchronize information?
Quickly enter and update information on your computer and handheld.
Synchronizing updates
information both on your handheld and in
Palm® Desktop software
on your computer. For
example, you can quickly enter a contact list on your computer and then send it to your handheld
instead of re-entering the information.
During CD installation, you can choose to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft
Outlook on your computer (Windows only). If you do, information from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks,
and Memos is synchronized with Outlook. Other information, such as photos, videos, voice
memos, and notes, is synchronized with Palm Desktop software. You can insert the CD at any time
to choose synchronization with Outlook if you did not do so during the initial installation.
Install applications.
With just a few clicks, you can use palmOne™ Quick Install to add files to
certain applications on your handheld or to install additional software.
Protect your information.
Nothing is worse than losing important information. When you
synchronize information, you create a backup copy. If something happens to your handheld or
your computer, the information is not lost; one tap restores it in both places.
Be sure to synchronize information at least once a day so that you always have
an up-to-date backup copy of important information.
Tip
Synchronize Microsoft
Word or Excel files from
your computer and open
them in the
Documents
to Go
application on your
handheld to view and edit
them at your
convenience.
