Zire™ 31 Handheld 11
CHAPTER 1 Setting Up Your Handheld and Your Computer
Using Profiles
Suppose your sales organization wants to distribute two dozen handhelds that all have a common
company phone list, a set of memos, and several key applications. A user profile can be created to
install this information before the handhelds are distributed to employees. When the employees
synchronize for the first time, this common information becomes part of their user-specific
information.
A user profile enables you to install the same information onto multiple Palm OS handhelds
before each handheld is individualized with a unique username and user-specific information. A
handheld that has a user profile installed can be given to anyone, because the handheld is not yet
identified by a unique username. When the new user synchronizes for the first time, he or she
gives the handheld a unique username.
Handhelds that are synchronized with a user profile must be either new ones that have
never been synchronized or handhelds that have had their usernames and information removed
by a hard reset.
