• If nothing happens, make sure that you installed the Palm Desktop
software and that the HotSync Manager application is running on
your computer ( ).

30 :: Synchronizing contacts and other personal data
We strongly recommend that
you install the Palm Desktop
synchronization software
soon after you start using
your Treo, and that you
synchronize your Treo and
computer frequently to keep
your information up-to-date
(and backed up) in both
locations.
