BEFORE YOU BEGIN
To sync your info,
you must install Palm Desktop software
from the Palm Software Installation CD
that came with your Treo XXX—even if you
sync with Outlook or another third-party
application. See Installing the desktop
synchronization software for instructions.
1
Connect your Treo XXX to your
computer, as described in Connecting
your Treo XXX to your computer.
2
Press the
sync
button on the sync
cable.
Messages on both your computer and
your Treo XXX indicate that
synchronization is in progress.
3
Wait until you see the message on your
Treo XXX that the HotSync operation is
complete; then disconnect the sync
cable. Do not disconnect the sync cable
until you see this message.
If you’re finishing your initial setup, you
now have the option to install bonus
software. If you choose to install some of
the bonus software, you need to sync
again to install the software on your
Treo XXX. You can also install bonus
software later; see Installing applications.
