To set the HotSync options on a Macintosh:
1. Double-click the HotSync Manager icon in the Palm folder.
2. Click the HotSync Controls tab and select any of the following options:
3. If you are using the USB cradle, you do not need to adjust the settings on the
Serial Port Settings tab for a direct HotSync operation; they are automatically
set when you perform the first HotSync operation.
HotSync
Enabled/
Disabled
Activates the serial port monitor and prepares your Macintosh
to synchronize with your handheld. By default, the serial port
monitor is enabled whenever you start your Macintosh. Keep
this default if your HotSync cradle is always connected to a
specific port (USB, serial, or modem). If, however, you use the
same port for other devices besides the HotSync cradle,
disable the serial port monitor and then enable it manually only
when you connect the cradle to perform a HotSync operation.
Enable HotSync
software at
system startup
Activates the serial port monitor automatically each time you
start your computer. If this option is not checked, you must
open HotSync Manager and select the Enabled option before
you can perform a HotSync operation.
