Conducting cradle/cable HotSync operations
275
The following steps assume that you have already installed Palm Desktop
software. If you have not installed this software, see “Step 4: Run Palm Setup
Wizard” in Chapter 1 for instructions.
To perform a local HotSync operation on a Windows computer:
1. Place your handheld in the cradle/cable.
2. If the HotSync Manager is not running, start it: On the Windows desktop, click
Start, and then select Programs. Navigate to the Palm Desktop software
program group, and select HotSync Manager. Alternatively, you can start the
Palm Desktop software, which automatically opens the HotSync Manager.
3. Press the HotSync button
on the cradle/cable.
IMPORTANT
The first time you perform a HotSync operation, you must enter a
username in the New User dialog box and click OK. Every handheld should have
a unique name. To prevent loss of a user’s records, never try to synchronize more
than one handheld to the same username.
