CHAPTER 1 Setting Up Your Handheld and Your Computer
Synchronizing your handheld and your computer
During installation, you connect your handheld to your computer if it is not already connected,
and you synchronize
for the first time. Synchronizing simply means that any information you enter
in one place (your handheld or computer) is automatically updated in the other.
Be sure to synchronize the info in your handheld’s program memory at least
once a day so that you always have an up-to-date backup copy of this info on your computer.
