If you are using the optional serial cradle/cable, or if you are
performing a HotSync operation using a modem, make sure

Backup the Palm Desktop software, uninstall it, then

If you are using a cradle, make sure your handheld is seated

Make sure the user name you selected in Palm Desktop
software matches the user name assigned to your handheld.

Make sure the date on your computer matches the date on

appropriate, from the HotSync Manager menu.

you selected the correct serial port on the Local tab in the
Setup dialog. It should be set to the port where you
connected the cradle/cable.
