Upgrading from another Palm OS handheld
If you already own a Palm OS handheld, you must install the version of Palm
Desktop software that comes with your new handheld. To upgrade quickly and
easily, perform the tasks described in the following sections. Some tasks are
specifically for upgrading.
Stylus
Serves as a pointing and writing device for navigating through
applications and entering data on your handheld. To use the
stylus, slide it out of the storage slot and hold it as you would a pen
or pencil.
Face plate tab
Releases the face plate so you can personalize the appearance of
your handheld with another face plate (sold separately).
IR port
Uses infrared technology to transmit data to and receive data from
other Palm OS handhelds, and to perform HotSync operations.
See “Common tasks” in Chapter 5 and “IR HotSync operations” in
Chapter 7 for more information.
Expansion card
slot
Accepts Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMediaCard content and SDIO
cards, enabling you to add more memory, applications, or
functionality. You can also back up data to an expansion card.
Reset button
Under normal use, you should not have to use the reset button.
See Appendix A for information about when and how to use the
reset button.
Universal
connector
Connects your handheld to the cradle/cable, which in turn
connects to the back of your computer and power. This allows you
to update the information between your handheld and computer
using HotSync technology and recharge the battery.
The universal connector also connects peripheral hardware
devices, such as a modem, to your handheld.
