Synchronizing data:
Performing the first HotSync operation
The HotSync process automatically synchronizes — that is, exchanges
and updates — data between your handheld and Palm Desktop
software. Changes you make on your handheld or Palm Desktop
software appear in both places after a HotSync operation.
Tip:
If you have difficulty performing a successful HotSync
operation, see Chapter 4 in this guide for suggestions.
1. Connect your handheld to the HotSync cradle/cable.
2. Press the HotSync button
on the cradle/cable.
3. When the Users dialog box appears, select the user name you
entered when you installed Palm Desktop software.
Your user name serves as the connection between your hand-
held and your computer. If you’re sharing Palm Desktop soft-
ware with another handheld user, you can change users by
selecting a name from the User list on the right side of the Palm
Desktop window. Be sure you select the correct user name be-
fore entering data in Palm Desktop software.
4. Wait for a message on your handheld indicating that the process is
complete.
5. Remove your handheld from the HotSync cradle/cable.
