Setting up your computer
Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm
Desktop or Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that
information to your Treo. At the same time, changes you make on the Treo are
transferred to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your
contacts on your Treo, synchronization is a great way to back up your data.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the Palm Desktop
synchronization software on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm
Powered device and have installed a previous version, you must install the
software that comes on the CD with your Treo.
