connecting your handheld to the cable, turning on your handheld, and tapping the
Favorite icon .

HotSync operation with a local, direct

Performing a HotSync operation for the first time: Windows
When you installed Palm Desktop software, you entered a username. This
username is the connection between your handheld and your computer. The first
time you synchronize your data, you are prompted to enter your username in
Palm Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize, the
HotSync Manager recognizes your handheld and doesn’t ask for this information
again.
If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a group of
users, you may want to create a user profile. See “Creating a user profile” later in
this chapter before performing the following steps.
