HotSync

technology enables you to synchronize data between one or more
Palm OS

handhelds and Palm™ Desktop software or another PIM such as
Microsoft Outlook. To synchronize data, you must connect your handheld and
Palm Desktop software. You can synchronize your data either directly or indirectly.
Direct methods include connecting your handheld to the cradle/cable attached to
your computer, or using infrared communications. An indirect method is using a
modem.
This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a HotSync
operation via infrared communications or a modem. See “Exchanging and
updating data: HotSync operations” in Chapter 5 for information about
performing your first and subsequent local HotSync operations.
