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
CLIÉ handheld and your computer and to back up the CLIÉ 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 must
enter your user information both into your CLIÉ handheld and into the
Palm Desktop for CLIÉ software. After the user name is recognized,
you do not have to enter this information again.

On your CLIÉ handheld, rotate the Jog Dial™ navigator
to select HotSync and then press the Jog Dial navigator.
Or tap the HotSync icon on the Application Launcher
screen (page 38).
The HotSync screen appears on your CLIÉ handheld.
On your computer screen, the USB Driver Installation Wizard starts
automatically.

records, never try to synchronize more than one handheld to the same user
name.
