Common Tasks

Exchanging and updating data: 
HotSync operations

The HotSync process automatically synchronizes — that is, exchanges 
and updates — data between your handheld and desktop software. 
Changes you make on your handheld or desktop software appear in 
both places after a HotSync operation. HotSync technology 
synchronizes only the needed portions of files, thus reducing 
synchronization time. You can synchronize your data directly by 
connecting your handheld to your computer with the cradle or by 
beaming the data from the IR port on your handheld to the IR port on 
your computer, or indirectly with a modem or network. See Chapter 
8 for information about performing HotSync operations via the IR 
port, a modem, or a network.

Performing a HotSync operation for the first time

The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user 
information on both the handheld and Palm Desktop software. After 
you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync Manager 
recognizes your handheld and doesn’t ask for this information again.

If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a 
group of users, you may want to create a user profile. See “Creating a 
user profile” in Chapter 8 before performing the following steps.

Important:

You must use the cradle for your 

first

 HotSync operation.

The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm 
Desktop software. If you have not installed this software, see 
“Installing Palm Desktop software”  in Chapter 1 for instructions.
