An overview of synchronizing
The following illustration shows the steps you take to synchronize
information for the first time. This chapter describes how to synchronize
without setting advanced options. Chapter 10, “Setting Advanced Options,”
describes how to set advanced options when you synchronize.
After entering up your synchronization settings, you can synchronize your
information with a single click of the Synchronize button.
Preparing to synchronize
Before you synchronize, follow these steps:
1
Make a backup of information on your Newton device.
For instructions, see Chapter 2, “Backing Up and Restoring Information.”
When you synchronize, you might want to experiment with different field
maps to get the desired results. In these cases, a recent backup will ensure you
don’t lose information.

On your computer, create a file to synchronize with.
See the Read Me file for a list of file formats (translators) you can use
for synchronizing.
