Synchronization
Why synchronize information?
Synchronizing means that information you enter in one place—your
Palm
®
Centro
™
smart device or your computer—is automatically entered in the
other; so there’s no need to enter the information twice. Sync your Centro and
your computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up)
in both locations.
The information from the following apps is updated by default each time you
sync:
Synchronize for the first time
When you install Palm
®
Desktop software, you sync for the first time.
Before You Begin:
If you’re installing the software on a computer at work, make
sure your company allows you to install new software. Contact your company’s
IT department for help.
1. Close all programs on your computer.
2. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.
3. Connect the charger cable to the connector on the bottom of the Centro.
4. Insert the Getting Started CD into your computer’s CD drive.
Tip
You must install
Palm
®
Desktop
software from the
Getting Started CD
that came with your
Centro even if you
sync with Outlook
or with another
third-party
application.
