Getting to know your Visor handheld
What is a Visor handheld?
With your Visor handheld, you will no longer have trouble getting to
meetings and appointments on time, remembering people’s names
and personal details, or keeping track of all the items on your to do list.
The Visor handheld can help you improve your track record in all
these areas, both at work and at home.
You can enter all your schedule details in Date Book so you can view
them by the day, week, or month; you can even set an alarm to remind
you of important meetings. Keep all your contact names, addresses,
phone numbers, and other details in Address Book, so you can find
them as soon as you need them. Add your tasks to To Do List,
prioritize them so you don’t overlook them, and assign them a due
date.
To make sure you don’t lose any of this important information, you
can synchronize your data with Palm Desktop software on your
computer so you always have a backup copy. You can set different
levels of security for your Visor handheld so unauthorized eyes
cannot view your data.
When you are out of the office, track your expenses for your expense
reports; then transfer the data to your computer to print it out. You can
write, edit, and view your e-mail, and then synchronize your e-mail
with your desktop E-Mail application when you return to your office.
