Setting up your Sony CLIE Handheld – Basics
Chapter 2
Step 6: Performing a HotSync
®
operation
for the first time
What is a HotSync operation?
HotSync, a technology particular to a Palm OS
®
platform device, is the
one-step operation that allows you to synchronize data between your
CLIE handheld and your computer, and backup the CLIE data on your
computer. For details, see “Exchanging and updating data using a
HotSync
®
operation” in the Operating Instructions manual.
When performing a HotSync
®
operation for the first time, you have to
enter your user information both into your CLIE handheld and into the
Palm Desktop for CLIE software. After the user name is recognized,
you do not have to enter the same information again.
1
Press the HotSync button on the cradle.
The USB Driver Installation Wizard starts automatically.

When the New User dialog box is displayed on your
computer screen, enter the user name.
Enter the same user name you entered in step 8 on page 32.
Note
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 user
name.

Click OK on your computer screen.
A beep sounds and the HotSync operation starts. When the HotSync
process is complete, a message showing the HotSync operation
completion is displayed on your CLIE handheld.
